Radiance From Within Wellness

✨ MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY ✨

Strong is not a size.

Strong is not a number on a scale.

Strong is how you FUEL your body. 💪🌿

If you’re a woman in your 40s (or beyond) hear me clearly:

Your body is changing.
Hormones are shifting.
Recovery takes intention.

But this is NOT the season to eat less.
It’s the season to eat smarter. 👏

Here’s what I see over and over:
🚫 Skipping meals
🚫 Under-eating protein
🚫 Avoiding carbs out of fear
🚫 Living on caffeine instead of nourishment

And then wondering why:
• Muscle won’t build
• Energy crashes
• Belly fat increases
• Workouts feel harder

Strength isn’t just built in the gym.
It’s built in your kitchen. 🍳🥑🍠 🥩

✨ Aim for 30g of protein per meal
✨ Don’t fear complex carbs — they fuel performance
✨ Hit your leucine threshold (animal based protein) to trigger muscle repair
✨ Eat within 30–60 minutes after training
✨ Hydrate like it matters (because it does)

When perimenopause begins creeping in, muscle loss and insulin resistance can quietly follow. But with the right nutrition strategy, you can stay strong, lean, and resilient — no matter your age.

This week, don’t focus on restriction. 🚫
👉🏼Focus on nourishment.
👉🏼Focus on strength.
👉🏼Focus on fueling the woman you are becoming. 💛

You are not “too old.”
You are not “behind.”
Your body is not broken.
It just needs the right support.

🌿 If you want help building a personalized strength nutrition strategy that supports hormones, muscle, and long-term health — message me. I’d love to walk alongside you.

“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” – Isaiah 40:31
Let’s build strength from within. ✨

🌿 Parasites, the Microbiome & Natural Support — Let’s Talk Education 🌿
You may have seen posts circulating about medications being studied for parasite or cancer pathways. While that research is ongoing, I want to zoom out and share something important and often overlooked from a functional, whole-body perspective.
🧠 Parasites don’t exist in isolation.
They thrive in certain environments — low stomach acid, sluggish bile flow, chronic stress, blood sugar instability, and an imbalanced gut terrain.
🌱 For centuries, traditional cultures have used plant compounds to support the body’s natural defenses and microbial balance. These aren’t “treatments,” but tools that support terrain, digestion, detox pathways, and immune resilience.
Here are a few well-studied natural compounds and what they’re known to support:
✨ Black Walnut Hull – disrupts parasite membranes; supports gut balance
✨ Artemisia annua (Sweet Wormwood) – creates oxidative stress in pathogens; traditionally used for parasites
✨ Garlic – broad antimicrobial support; disrupts biofilms
✨ Clove – targets parasite eggs; antifungal support
✨ Oregano – potent antimicrobial; supports microbial balance
✨ Neem – immune-modulating; gut and liver support
✨ Pumpkin Seed – interferes with parasite attachment (gentle + food-based)
✨ Papaya Seed – enzyme-based digestive and parasite support
✨ Berberine-containing herbs – gut barrier and metabolic support
💡 Important note:
In functional care, the goal is not fear or eradication — it’s restoring balance:
✔ Supporting digestion
✔ Improving bile flow
✔ Nourishing detox pathways
✔ Stabilizing blood sugar
✔ Reducing chronic stress
When the terrain improves, the body often becomes less hospitable to overgrowth of all kinds.
🌿 This is why personalized protocols matter — not one-size-fits-all cleanses or social media trends.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” – Hosea 4:6
Education brings empowerment. Healing begins when we support the body the way it was designed.
If you’d like to learn how your body may be asking for support, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. 💛

I may irritate a few people with this—and I’m okay with that. I have’t jumped on a soapbox in a while on social media.
I’m gonna today.

I’m one small voice, but I’ll use it for as long as I’m able.

What I am passionate about is this:
👉 We have been taught to fear (and loathe) our own bodies.
👉 Fear our immune systems.
👉 Fear rest.
👉 Fear slowing down.
👉 Fear trusting how God designed us.

And fear has consequences.

At the root of so many health conversations is the belief that the human body is fundamentally broken and incapable—unless it is constantly overridden, managed, or corrected by something external.

I don’t believe that.

I believe the body was created with wisdom, intelligence, and resilience when given correct foundations.

I believe God did not make a mistake or miss stuff when He designed it.

And I believe man has never improved upon a single thing God created—only attempted to replace, control, or shortcut it.
Not one single thing.

We live in a broken world, yes.

One that feels heavier and more chaotic by the day.

But what if we asked different questions?

✨ What if we ate real, nourishing food instead of substances made in factories?

✨ What if rest wasn’t seen as laziness, but obedience?

✨ What if we supported the body the way it was designed to be supported—first?

✨ What if we honored our bodies as temples instead of treating and chasing symptoms in isolation?

✨ What if we lived by biblical principles like “do not fear,” stewardship, Sabbath rest, movement, and self-control?

🔥 🌳 The very first deception involved food—and planting doubt about God’s goodness and provision.
That hasn’t changed.

I’m not here to tell anyone what to do…for the most part. 😁🤣

I am here to encourage people to think, pray, and discern instead of reacting from fear.

Because fear has never produced health.
And faith was never meant to be passive.

🩷You cannot inject DNA of other humans/animals/poisons into your body and expect there will never be consequences.

Meet Richelle

Richell developed her passion for root-cause wellness through her own personal health journey, which ultimately led her to pursue a career dedicated to holistic, whole-person care. Her early medical training included undergraduate education at Penn Valley Community College, Grand Canyon University, and Baker College.

Her path eventually led her to Florida, where she served as the Practice Manager for a Functional Medical clinic while completing her Doctor of Naturopathy (ND) through Trinity School of Natural Health.
Richell holds multiple certifications from Trinity, including CNHP (Certified Natural Health Practitioner), ACNC (Advanced Certified Nutritional Consultant), and CHS (Certified Health Specialist). She is also a Licensed Ecclesiastical Holistic Practitioner, board-certified Holistic Health Practitioner (AADP), board-certified Mental Health Coach (BMHC), and most recently, a certified Functional Wellness Practitioner (ANWPB).

Legit needed a pick me up this afternoon.. feeling a little run down but some hydration and a JP superfood picked me right up.
No caffeine. Just real fruits, veggies and berries… so nutrition. Many times when we are feeling run down it’s just our body saying we are depleted in nutrients!
(And maybe I’ve done too much Christmas shopping and putt putt this week!) 😂
The Luminate is great as well - with functional mushrooms and herbs for no jittery boost but like I said - many times just putting nutrients in your body is all it needs.
In the great words of Hippocrates “let food be thy medicine”.

JP ships so fast you’ll probably have it in just a few days!

🌧️ Is your stress bucket overflowing?
Between processed food, poor sleep, work drama, and world events—it’s no wonder we’re running on empty. 😮‍💨 Add a major stressor like loss, illness, or trauma, and the bucket spills over fast… leading to burnout, anxiety, or worse—illness. 😟
‼️➡️ And here’s a kicker - your body won’t work on healing when it’s in survival mode.
🪣 Understanding your stress bucket is the first step. But managing it? That’s where powerful stress relievers come in.
💊 That’s why I love the Stress & Anxiety Relief Pak from .
🌿 This all-natural supplement supports:
✅ Balanced cortisol levels
✅ Calm, clear mental focus
✅ Restful sleep
✅ Resilience to everyday stress
✨ Pair this with regular movement, real food, and rest—and your bucket starts to drain. For real.
