Complete ACL rupture.

Not exactly what I had planned for this season.

But here’s what I know after years of helping others heal:
Injury is not just about the ligament. It’s about the terrain.

While I wait for reconstruction surgery, I’m not “just waiting.”
I’m preparing.

Here’s what I’m focusing on behind the scenes:

• Reducing systemic inflammation with whole, mineral-dense foods
• Prioritizing protein to preserve muscle mass
• Supporting collagen synthesis (vitamin C, copper balance, amino acids)
• Keeping my nervous system regulated so healing chemistry can actually occur
• Protecting quad strength as much as possible
• Sleeping like it’s my job
• Staying connected to sunshine, breath, and gratitude

Because surgery is an event.
Recovery is a process.
And preparation changes outcomes.

As someone who walks women through hormone shifts, mineral imbalances, and metabolic dysfunction every day — I’m applying the same principles to myself right now.

Your body is always trying to heal.
It just needs the right support.

If you’re navigating an injury, surgery, chronic pain flare, or a setback that feels discouraging — you don’t have to figure it out alone.

There is a way to support your terrain so your body has what it needs to rebuild.

Reach out.
I’m here. 🤍

Injured myself skiing earlier this week - which is a bummer. I am awaiting an MRI to confirm, but I suspect a torn LCL in my right knee.
Here is everything I am doing to help my body heal - regardless of the severity of the injury.

PainRX Tablets - a gut safe, herbal NSAID alternative that reduces inflammation and smells like p*e 😝
LumeBox Red light therapy - applied directly to the knee
CBD/DMSO Topical cream - applied directly to the knee
BPC-157 Peptide injections to aid in healing
Ice as tolerated - if swelling seems to be increasing
Elevating as high as is comfortable
Eating a lot of collagen/protein rich foods and getting good sleep!

I don't plan on letting this keep me down for too long - but I do plan on getting some good rest this weekend and having more answers on Monday. Stay safe out there!

LADIES 📢 This is for you!
Mammograms are OUT and we need a safer alternative for breast health screening. HerScan is just that! Check out this information and get your screening scheduled.

📢📢📢 HerScan will be returning to Rapid City next spring, but in a new location! Book your appointment now, before they fill up. The last two times HerScan was here, all the appointments filled up months ahead of time.

Only 10 days away!

I just got back from the A4M Women’s Health Summit and…wow. So many practical, evidence-based pearls for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. I took pages of notes and turned them into a clear, client-friendly roadmap I’ll share at a live Seminar Recap: Perimenopause, Menopause & Beyond on 10/25 at 9am.

Here’s a taste of what I’m bringing home to you:
• Hormone harmony without the guesswork – how to interpret symptoms alongside labs so your plan fits your body, not a one-size-fits-all template.
• Minerals & metabolism – why calcium/magnesium, sodium/potassium, and copper/zinc balance can make or break energy, sleep, mood, and weight changes.
• Stress & sleep as hormone therapy – nervous system tools that actually shift hot flashes, brain fog, and nighttime wakeups.
• Nutrition upgrades that stick – protein targets, fiber hacks, and smart carbs for blood sugar stability (and fewer cravings).
• Thyroid & adrenals – common “misses” in midlife and how to advocate for the right testing and timing.
• Supplements with receipts – what earned a permanent spot on my short list—and what didn’t.

Who this is for: women 35+ who want clear, doable steps—not overwhelm.

You’ll leave with:
1. a concise A4M-inspired checklist,
2. a 2-week “first steps” plan, and
3. time for Q&A about your real life.

👉 Save your seat: BlackHillsNaturalPaths.as.me/Understanding
(Limited seats; I’m keeping this interactive.)

Have a quick second? Hit reply with the number you most want covered and I’ll tailor the session:
1. Hot flashes & sleep
2. Mood, anxiety & brain fog
3. Weight changes & blood sugar
4. Mineral testing (HTMA) & basics
5. Perimenopause vs. menopause: what changes when

Grateful for you,
