Symptoms are your body’s way of communicating to us!

It’s not just in your head, there’s usually a reason why you’re feeling XYZ symptoms.

One way we can see what is going on, is by assessing your mineral status.

Minerals are your body’s “spark plugs”, your body’s “factory workers”.

We can only get them from food and water (the soil), and during times of stress (physical, environmental, mental/emotional stressors), we become depleted in certain minerals.

If you’re wanting to know WHAT is going on in your body and WHAT minerals specifically you’re depleted in, or even what heavy metals you may have, then join the waitlist to get first dibs on our biannual hair tissue mineral test.

This is currently reserved for our clients that do our 4-6 month functional nutrition program, but twice a year we offer this test to the public as a beginning step to getting answers

Comment “HTMA” to join the waitlist - doors open this THURSDAY!

This reel actually got a ton of views and shares back in 2020 or 2021 when I originally posted it.

As health professionals, it’s so important to stay up to date on the newest research and change our protocols accordingly.

I can’t tell you how many moms I’ve helped who experienced severe engorgement and clogged ducts and once they implemented breast gymnastics, things SIGNIFICANTLY improved! Don’t believe me? check out my highlight “Gymnastics” to read all the testimonials

The term breast gymnastics was coined by IBCLC lactation consultant .
We want to be GENTLE with our breasts! No more vi*****rs and digging into our breasts to get rid of a clog. Gently pick them up and elongate those milk ducts.
One reason why dangle feeding helps with clogs, isn’t so much the gravity, but because you’re moving your breasts around! 🤯

Use COLD instead of warm when there’s a clog
And Be GENTLE and KIND to your breasts…they’ll thank you 😏

Have you tried breast gymnastics? Share this with a friend especially if you know they’re prone to clogged ducts. Let’s get those ladies moving! 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♂️

Ugh right?? Breastmilk does provide antibodies and immune benefits, butttt they still can get sick 😅 Anyone else 🤪😅😰

Get outside, get sunlight (vitamin D is important for immune support), focus on QUALITY sleep, have good hygiene, focus on nutrient dense foods (obviously not if your baby is

In one week, I’m opening doors to my Black Friday Hair Tissue Mineral Test! 🎉

Here’s why this matters:

✨ Minerals make hormones
✨ Minerals make enzymes
✨ Minerals maintain fluid balance
✨ Minerals support metabolism
✨ Minerals move oxygen through the body
✨ Minerals allow muscle contractions

Minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium, iodine, iron, copper, and magnesium etc are the factory workers that keep every system running.

And when we’re low on these “factory workers”-
We feel it.
Think: digestive issues, underactive thyroid, constipation, insomnia, hair loss, mood changes, low energy…the list goes on.

🔹 Pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding use huge amounts of minerals.
🔹 Stress, poor sleep, environmental stressors and busy seasons continue to deplete you

RE-mineralizing is crucial for recovery, stable moods, energy, metabolism, and just feeling like yourself again.

Focusing on nutrient dense food and supplementing where needed can be so helpful to further support your body.

But how do you know what minerals you need to focus on?

A hair tissue mineral test is a great way to assess your minerals in the tissue!
If you want to see what YOUR mineral status looks like, comment “HTMA.” Doors open next week and space fills up fast!

Have you ever done a hair test before?

I know how hard it can be to eat and get a meal in with newborns…trust me, I had twins 😰

So many of my meals were while holding/nursing my babies, standing up and Baby wearing and eating, letting baby fuss in a safe place for 30secs while I made a quick PBJ, or grabbing them and then finishing my meal.

I’m proud of this mama for taking the 10secs to get something, but hopefully she came back and had a full meal (even if it was while holding her baby).

I love having one handed snacks on hand (maybe presliced deli meat, baby carrots + hummus, trail mix, PBJ, banana, meat sticks).

Put your meals/soups/stews in a mug - so much easier to eat it one handed and also not worry about spilling.

Food is fuel and you are a grown adult and can’t live off of your kids leftovers or snacks throughout the day.

You will feel SO much better if you can prioritize some meals.

If you need help with your nutrition, and if you’re unsure how to nourish yourself and support your body during pregnancy/postpartum, we’d love to help you! Comment “support” and let’s get you feeling good!

Happy Veterans Day to my amazing husband, whose dedication, sacrifice, and strength have shaped not just his life, but ours as a family.

I am so incredibly proud of him. It has been a HARD road, especially on the family - Night shift, swings, TDYs, deployments, moves, the physical and mental impacts that comes with the job etc etc.

He’s one year officially retired, and it is so wonderful having him home. It’s interesting to see the relationship that our youngest twins have had with their dad at this age, than our first two where he was gone so much 🥺

My business wouldn’t be where it’s at without him. Being a military spouse, allowed me to use the MyCAA scholarship to become an IBCLC lactation consultant.

I started my business in Hawaii where he was stationed at Hickam AFB.

Because of his deployments and crazy hours and night shifts, I was forced to get my health together postpartum and really understand just HOW important nutrition is to carry the family and show up everyday for my kids and my clients.

To my hubs - I’m sorry for everything you’ve been through and the mental and physical toll this job has done to you ❤️‍🩹but thank you for serving your country and all that you do especially for your family!

So happy to have you home and to have your help 😅

Happy Veterans Day to everyone and of course the spouses who are holding down the fort and holding the family together!❤️🤍💙

Contrary to what “diet culture” tells you, we actually ADDED more food and more calories into her diet 😱

and as a result, this mom lost 20+ pounds during our short time together and is on trajectory to continue.

but the biggest win she said was her energy significantly improved, as well as her digestion. She went from 98 symptom points to 20!!!!!!!

What we focus on with our clients is actually eating MORE nutrient dense foods and targeted nutrients supported by lab work, while making it easy and realistic as a busy full-time working mom of Littles.

We focus on NOURISHING your body and supporting your metabolism and ADDING nutrients in and weight loss comes as a byproduct of that.

So much of diet culture pushes weight loss and cutting things out, but you still feel exhausted and tired and still might experience digestive issues.

Her weight loss was slow and steady but she FEELS better and no longer has bloating, acid reflux, and no longer feels like she needs a nap everyday. Her poops are also more regular.

▶️If you want to feel your best and improve your energy and possibly have weight loss (which we never guarantee because it’s more so about supporting your metabolism which can take time for some people), then we would love to help you!

we know how busy and challenging this season can be, but we are here to give you realistic tools so that no matter what season you’re in, you can feel confident.

▶️Comment “support” and let’s get you thriving and feeling good postpartum 🙌🏼

‼️btw we consider postpartum anytime after having a baby, so whether you’re 5months or 5+years, we can help! While our niche is women’s health, we’ve also have helped a number of men too)

‼️also yep, hiding in the pantry 😆 these are some of the snacks we have

If you’re joining me in the with where we are donating our milk to a local milk bank and in exchange earning $250, I’d love to show you a way you can collect your milk especially if you’re a “just enougher”.

1) Collect milk from the side the baby didn’t nurse on. You could use the haakaa, bon trove or anything similar
2) If baby takes both breasts, then pump the side baby just came off of - I suggest “parallel pumping” where you do this simultaneously to save you time
3) Or pump during a stretch where your baby is not feeding. This is the route I personally am taking.

If you’re interested in earning $250 while also helping a huge cause and helping milk banks get more breastmilk, then comment “milkdonation” to learn more!
