💉 Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro—everywhere, right?
But what happens after the injections stop? And is there a better way?

🔑 Quick hits from Stephanie Anderson, MH, CN:
• GLP-1 drugs crank up the “I’m full” signal—but don’t fix why metabolism is off.
• When you quit, appetite rebounds, muscle may be lost, and weight often returns.
• Real change asks deeper questions: minerals, adrenals, blood sugar, sleep, stress, gut balance.

⚖️ Natural ≠ automatically safe. Even plant isolates (berberine, etc.) can override the body instead of rebuilding it.

🌿 Root-cause path: Holistic practitioners aren’t against people seeking relief. They’re simply advocating for approaches that align with how the body is built to heal: from the inside out, not the outside in.

🌟 Turmeric named 2026 Herb of the Year! 🌟

This golden root has been a staple in Ayurveda for millennia—and modern science finally agrees.

Why add a pinch of 🌱 Curcuma longa to your day?
• Antioxidant armor – curcumin neutralizes free-radical damage.
• Inflammation balance – supports joints, heart & overall wellness.
• Better together – pair with healthy fat and black pepper for up-to-20× absorption (thank you, piperine!).

Easy ways to glow golden:
1️⃣ Sprinkle turmeric + black pepper on roasted veggies & soups.
2️⃣ Whisk up “golden milk” (warm plant milk, turmeric, pinch of pepper, coconut oil, honey).
3️⃣ Choose supplements that include both piperine and a fat-based carrier.

Herbs work best when used wisely and in harmony with the body—turmeric is proof. ✨

🌿 Herbs + Whole Foods = Gentle Menopause Relief

Hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats?
Master Herbalist David Christopher, MH reminds us there’s a safer path than standard hormone therapy:

✨ Phyto-sterol herbs (Hormonal Changease + Female Tonic)
• Cool hot flashes
• Soothe dryness
• Lift mood—without restarting a monthly cycle

🥗 Food first
In Japan, women who eat soy-rich diets report hot flashes 3 times less often than women in the U.S. or Canada. Add avocado, flax oil, and salmon for healthy fats that support balanced hormones.

Give your body plant-based tools and move through menopause with comfort and confidence.
