There's more to bloating than food sensitivities!

While you don't want to ignore any obvious foods that are triggering, I would invite you to also consider HOW you're eating.

Society has taught you to eat on the run, or that a normal portion size is actually a super size! And chewing your food 20x per bite - yeah, right. Who does that!

There's a lot ot be said for slowing down and eating in a rested state.

This is the place where all digestive functions are working optimally - digestive enzymes are flowing, you are more likely to chew and swallow properly and your gut is ready to go to work for you in the best way.

Give it a try today - slow down a bit, chew your food, eat a regular sized portion - and see how you feel. Your body never lies!

Many of my clients see their bloating disappear by changing how they eat, not what they eat.

What is your "word" for 2026?

I really enjoy the practice of picking a word for the year. Something to guide the year's goals and choices.

This year, I have 2 words - grounded presence.

I have come to realize that while I have big goals and dreams, I will not reach them from a place of frenetic, overdoing energy. There is so much more power when I slow down and ground into the present moment, then take action.

Slowing down long enough to pause and ground myself (Pushing Pause to Heal) has really guided my healing from rheumatoid arthritis, and now I'm bringing it in to take things to the next level.

And knowing that I won't be burnt out or completely drained when I do take things to the next level is the best reassurance. Because I'm no good to anyone when I'm drained and burnt out.

I would love to hear your word for 2026. Have you picked one yet? Let this word guide you through the big and small decisions and how you want to show up this year. I'm cheering you on!

in health,
Dr. Emily

“Coaching” does not equal instructing.

Because nobody in this world knows your life, history, and daily struggles like you do. Not even a board-certified, functional health coach!

So what DO they do?

1. Help you see patterns you can’t see anymore. Ever need another set of eyes to find something? Or look over someone else’s report at work?

It’s the same idea, but with the habits and routines that have just become your life. Your coach helps you see what you can’t.

2. Offer expertise, not advice. Our coaches have gone through extensive training, and they will provide you with everything you might need to know.

But they won’t TELL you what works for you, or how to apply the information. That’s something you work through together, as a team!

3. Be your support & accountability. Even our most supportive friends or family can’t be there like a coach to hold you accountable, cheer you on, and help you redirect when things get hectic.

Their time is dedicated to you, and you alone. 💕

And something that people might not expect? Your coach becomes a partner, someone you look forward to speaking with.

Someone you can share your wins with, or share what it was like to fail. Either way, they’re on your side, and it’s a unique, supportive relationship unlike any other.

If this sounds like something you want, comment COACH for more details.

Here's the 2025 "wrapped" of our stress quiz. The results may surprise you.

Out of everyone who completed the quiz this calendar year...

59.2% of people reported they rarely slept at least 7 hours per night, or woke up feeling refreshed.
Only 8.9% of people said they usually feel calm and in control of their lives.
55% of respondents said they rarely feel like their hormones are balanced.
And only 13.6% said their brain is usually clear & they’re able to focus on tasks.

This is real, self-reported data, and it supports what I hear all the time.

If you’re someone who isn’t getting great sleep, rarely feels focused or calm, and feels hormonally out of whack, know you’re certainly not alone. In fact, according to our results (and what we see with our clients), you’re in the majority.

Your first instinct might be “but this quiz doesn’t sound like it’s about stress!”

I didn’t say the word “stress,” but after years of practice, I know the patterns. I can see the signs of chronic, persistent stress from a mile away.

You might view these symptoms as just a part of being a parent, a working professional, or aging. The beautiful truth is: it doesn’t have to be like this. You do not have to accept what a majority of people do.

Will 2026 be the year you finally allow yourself some much-needed relief? Let's change these results together. Want to see for yourself? https://www.balancedlivingfm.com/energize-your-life/quiz

Meet Jessica.

At 36, this stay-at-home mom was doing everything "right," but her body was breaking down.

✨ Hashimoto's flaring
✨ Post-COVID symptoms lingering
✨ Constant anxiety
✨ Energy crashing every afternoon (naps weren't optional)
✨ Swollen joints and inflammation everywhere

She'd been to many doctors, tried things on her own, but she was stuck.

She joined our Health Begins Here signature program. Here's what we did differently:

We didn't rush to expensive testing or supplement protocols. We started with the foundation of a balanced lifestyle. And things drastically changed.

→ Cleaner diet
→ Deep breathing throughout the day
→ 5 minutes of guilt-free "nothing time."
→ Consistent sleep routine (no more staying up until 2 AM)

And guess what!

Her symptom score dropped from 94 to 7 in 3 months time. 🎉 (That's a 92% reduction in symptoms!)

But that's just the beginning:
💫 No more afternoon crashes
💫 Sleeping through the night and waking rested
💫 Zero joint pain or inflammation
💫 Her husband lost 50 pounds from the changes at home – all because they changed their day to day habits
💫 Ran a half-marathon and got a PR by over 5 MINUTES (without even training hard).

And here's the part that gets me...

During her time working with her coach, Jessica lost a close family member. Normally, that kind of grief would have sent her anxiety spiraling and her body breaking down.
But this time, her body held strong. She processed the grief in healthy ways because her foundation was solid.

Your symptoms aren't random. They're signals.

And when you address the root cause instead of just covering up what's showing up on the surface? Your body can do incredible things.

Kelli here 👋

If you haven’t had a chance to meet me yet, I’m the Nurse Practitioner at Balanced Living, and I’m hosting a group detox this January!

I wanted to give you a little preview of everything we use during the detox to support your natural processes.

✨Shakes
✨ Supplements
✨ Step-by-step instructions
✨ And ME! :) When you sign up, you’re also getting my support and guidance.

You may be wondering – Why do we detox?

In a perfect world, your detoxification systems run optimally, and your body processes and eliminates any chemicals or toxins you come into contact with.

Unfortunately, most Americans live with a high toxin burden, accumulated from pesticides sprayed on your food or lawns, toxins in your water, artificial fragrance, candles, the air you breathe… the list goes on.

This means that detox pathways become overwhelmed and need a little (or a lot of) support. This can present itself as bloating, difficulty losing weight, fatigue or sluggishness, sugar cravings, or just feeling “off.”

The 10-day detox is meant to support your body’s natural processes. And the best parts:

You can eat as much as you want – just follow the guidelines each day.
No calorie counting – but most people lose weight anyway!
No “forever” rules or eliminations – just 10 days to see how you feel.

Want to join us?

Key Dates:
📣 Kickoff Call: January 8th @ 7 PM EST
📍 Detox Starts: January 12
🛑 Wrap-up Call: January 21st @ 7 PM EST

I’ll be available for support the whole way through! See you there 💕

Have trouble sleeping through the night? You're not alone.

Here are the top reasons I've observed throughout my years of helping busy people get back on track:

1) Blood sugar imbalance

- Not enough protein during the day or too many carbs in the evening can cause blood sugar to drop, and that spikes your cortisol, which will have you wide awake in the middle of the night

💡 The Fix: Add more protein all day, or swap the evening carb-heavy snack for some protein. A scoop of almond butter before bed anyone?

2) Cortisol imbalance

- Chronic stress over time can cause the cortisol to be lower in the morning (when it's supposed to be high) and higher at night (when it should be low). This causes a tired feeling during the day and being wide awake at night.

💡 The Fix: Working on the underlying cause(s) of your stress or working with a functional medicine practice can help get your cortisol levels back in balance

3) Inflammation

- Chronic inflammation can cause lighter sleep due to discomfort.

💡 The Fix: Consider food sensitivities or an anti-inflammatory diet to reverse this

4) Emotions from the day are being processed during sleep

- If you run all day long and have no time to think through your day, then your brain is processing while you sleep

💡 The Fix: Try journaling, a brain dump, or some downtime to think through your day prior to going to bed. Your mind can then let it go and sleep better

5) Your liver is busy processing

- The liver is more active at night

- If it's overloaded from toxins, inflammation, or poor dietary choices, then it can disrupt your sleep cycles

💡 The Fix: Work on cleaning up inflammatory foods and reducing toxin exposure

Sometimes, it's more than one! But the good news is, with some gentle shifts, we can get you sleeping through the night! Ready to solve your sleep once and for all? https://www.balancedlivingfm.com/schedule
