This June marks 2 years since we opened Vitality.

I don't miss the one hour + drive to Richardson every day but I sure do miss lunch at Flower Child and coffee runs to La La Land with my co-workers.

We may not have the fancy restaurants out here but we do have an amazing community we are grateful to be apart of! 🌟💖

Don't forget Tioga Farmers Market tonight!

Totally trying this for dinner😋

A simple roast using what’s in season this week 🥕🌿

Roast carrots in the oven until caramelized and tender, about 30 minutes, then add broccolini for the final 5–7 minutes so it stays vibrant and tender.

Finished with olive oil, flaky salt, cracked pepper, a squeeze of lemon, and topped with spicy radish microgreens for a little fresh heat.

Simple farm vegetables, treated well 💚

I’m a Physician Assistant trained in both conventional and functional medicine, and one question I get asked all the time is:

“What’s the difference between functional medicine and wellness?”

Functional medicine focuses on identifying the root cause of a problem and using targeted protocols to address it.

Wellness is different.

Wellness is about building health before things start falling apart. It’s the everyday habits and choices that create resilience over time.

How you eat.
How you sleep.
How you move.
How you manage stress.
How overloaded your nervous system is.
The signals you give your body every single day.

In our practice, I often look at lab work for patterns that suggest dysfunction may be developing long before disease is ever diagnosed. I believe prevention matters just as much as treatment.

And over the years, one thing has become really clear to me:

Big interventions and protocols may help, but they usually don’t last without a strong foundation.

That’s why I wrote Left to Die: What a Terminal Diagnosis Taught Us About Living.

It’s more than just our story of fighting to keep our son alive after being told he was terminal. It’s also a guide to building health, managing stress more effectively, and creating more balance in everyday life through small daily choices that shape how we feel physically and mentally over time.

Because real health is rarely built through one big intervention.

It’s built through the things we do consistently every day.

Hope everyone had an amazing Mother’s Day yesterday. ❤️

I know I did.

Yesterday, we celebrated our son Gavin turning 11 years old — a child we were once told would likely not make it to age 2.

And after years of writing, rewriting, learning, and processing everything our family has lived through… the book I started writing back in 2019 officially went live for pre-order on Amazon yesterday.

This book is part memoir, part health guide, and the story behind how our perspective on healing, stress, mindset, nutrition, nervous system regulation, and everyday health completely changed through Gavin’s journey.

If you’re looking for a meaningful summer read about resilience, hope, healing, and what really matters, I’d love for you to check it out.

And now… it’s back to business as usual this week at Vitality IV Therapy & Wellness.💙

Just saw this post in my feed. We absolutely love and drink raw milk. But I have to say, the cows we drink milk from don't look like these 👀

Those look ill and malnourished 🥺

I would only drink it from a farm with grass-fed cows that actually look healthy. 🐄🥛

On social media, posts about raw milk have surged in recent months, often touting unproven claims about its health benefits.

Last year, when I was pregnant with Hudson, I decided to do something different…

I started taking prenatal vitamins.

I hadn’t done that with my previous pregnancies—mostly because prenatals always made me nauseous.
And honestly… I’ve always believed you can get most of what you need from a real, organic, nutrient-dense diet.

But this time felt different.

“Advanced maternal age.” 🫣

So I did.

I chose an organic, “clean,” highly rated prenatal gummy—one of the most popular ones on Amazon.

Felt like a safe choice.

Until I found out…
it contained lead.

The very thing I was taking to protect my baby…
was exposing him to a neurotoxin.

I wanted Hudson bulletproof—
just not like that.

That’s when I started following Lead Safe Mama, LLC

And what I found honestly changed the way I look at everything.

“Organic.”
“Clean.”
“Natural.”

These words don’t mean what most people think they mean.

Because a lot of these products—
even the “good ones”—
are still contaminated with heavy metals.

And it doesn’t stop at supplements.

It’s in foods people think are healthy too.

Farm-raised fish is loaded with contaminants.
Even some wild-caught options have high mercury levels.

We tell people to eat more fish for omega-3s (and yes—they’re incredibly anti-inflammatory and important)…

But the reality is:
you often have to pay a premium for properly tested, low-toxin sources.

I recommend eating wild-caught fish—these are generally safer choices:

• Wild salmon
• Sardines
• Anchovies
• Cod

Because the smaller the fish and the shorter its lifespan… the less time it has to accumulate toxins.
