Have you ever noticed your symptoms spike around ovulation… but no one ever explained why?

The pain.
The anxiety.
The nausea.
The breast tenderness, food reactions, migraines, or just feeling off in your own skin…

It’s not random and it’s not just hormones (although it’s a big piece) 🦋

Ovulation is a beautifully complex process… but for women with histamine issues, MCAS, trauma in the body, or hormone imbalances, it can feel more like a monthly alarm going off. 🔥

What most providers don’t tell you is that mid-cycle flares are often tied to:
🧬 Estrogen-driven histamine surges
🧠 Low progesterone (from stress or under-eating)
💥 Mast cell activation
🧹 Sluggish detox pathways
💔 Stored emotional tension in the pelvis and womb

And the truth is, your body is not working against you, it’s communicating with you.

If ovulation is leaving you anxious, inflamedor disconnected… this is exactly the type of pattern I help women unpack and support in my 1:1 root-cause practice. 💫

✨ We work together to restore hormonal rhythm, calm inflammation, and make ovulation feel safe again not something to dread.

If you’re ready for personalized support with MCAS, histamine intolerance, hormones, or chronic illness…

This post is personal. ❤️
It took me a long time to find the words for something that felt so raw…
the quiet grief of not recognizing yourself anymore.
Not just physically but emotionally, spiritually, existentially. It’s like no other feeling I’ve had in my life. 💔

When chronic illness stripped away everything I used to do…
I didn’t know who I was anymore.
And that silence? That disorientation? That deep inner ache?
No one really prepares you for that part.

If you’ve been there — or you’re there now,
I want this post to feel like a soft place to land.
No pressure to “fix” it.
Just a space to be honest about how disorienting it all is…
and maybe a small reminder that you’re not as lost as you feel.

💛 If this spoke to something deep in you, I created a free guide to support the parts of you that are trying to find your way back or maybe forward.

It includes journal prompts, gentle body practices to meet you right where you are.

You’re not behind. You’re in the remembering. 🦋

🌿 I was honestly scared to share this one, because it’s deep. It might feel triggering. It might feel heavy. 💔

But I believe these conversations are needed.🙏🏻

Why are so many of us struggling with histamine issues, MCAS and immune chaos these days?

It’s not just the food.
It’s not just the toxins.
It’s not just the stress.

It’s the collective weight of it all — the fear, the grief, the disconnection, the uncertainty, the isolation, the rush, the quick fixes, the loss of trust in ourselves and each other.

Our bodies have been holding so much more than we realize. Mast cells, in particular, are exquisitely sensitive to everything — our environment, our relationships, our thoughts, our nervous system, even our sense of safety.🦋

For many, it feels like their system just snapped these last few years. And I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

This is not about blame. This is about understanding.
This is about making sense of why you might feel like a stranger in your own body, or why your symptoms exploded out of nowhere.

You are not broken. You are not weak. You are not alone.🩷

Your body is asking to be heard. To feel safe again. To heal.
And that is possible — even if the road feels long.

❤️ If this resonates, I’d love to hear your story below. Let’s hold space for each other and rebuild trust in our bodies, together.

If your anxiety feels different… you are not alone.

Maybe it comes with a racing heart after certain foods.
Maybe it’s worse around ovulation or your period.
Maybe you wake at 2am, heart pounding, feeling like something is wrong.

So many of us have been told we’re too sensitive, too anxious, too emotional. But your body might be trying to tell you something deeper — that histamine is involved, that your nervous system is dysregulated, that your mast cells are on high alert. ‼️

In my opinion, this is such an overlooked aspect of anxiety and it’s doing a massive disservice to so many women who are struggling and searching for answers. 🙏🏻

This isn’t “just” anxiety.
It’s a survival response, layered with food triggers, hormone shifts, stress, and nervous system overwhelm.

💛 You deserve to feel safe in your body again.
You deserve to have your symptoms heard instead of dismissed.
You deserve to explore a path that feels supportive, gentle, and rooted in what your body actually needs.

If any of this resonates — I see you. I’ve been there. And there are ways forward.
🤍 Check my highlights for more support, or share below what helps you feel safer and calmer these days. Let’s remind each other: we are not alone in this.

🌿 Living with chronic illness isn’t just a physical battle it can feel like a mental and spiritual one, too. I’ve learned (and am still learning) how to walk through the mental health struggles that come with it: by acknowledging the hard days, letting myself feel, protecting my energy, leaning on my support team, praying and reminding myself I am more than a diagnosis. 🦋

If you’re in the thick of it right now, please know you’re not alone. It’s okay to grieve, to rest, to ask for help and to lean on God for strength. Chronic illness can steal so much, but it cannot steal your worth. You are still here, still loved, still valuable.

🤍 If this resonates with you, I see you. Feel free to share below how you care for your mental health on this journey you never know who you might encourage.

✨ Is MCAS just mitochondrial burnout in disguise?

If your flares feel unpredictable…
If you’re always exhausted no matter how “healthy” you eat…
If your body feels inflamed, reactive, and stuck in survival mode…

It might not be just your mast cells.

It could be a deep cellular energy crisis—aka mitochondrial burnout.

💡 When your mitochondria are overburdened by toxins, stress, trauma, infections, or nutrient depletion… your mast cells can’t regulate properly.
They go into overdrive.
You flare. You crash. You wonder if healing is even possible.

But it is. And it starts by addressing the root: your energy system. 🦋

I created a free guide to help you connect the dots:
👉 “The Mitochondria–MCAS Link”
✓ What’s actually driving flare cycles
✓ My favorite mitochondrial & mast cell supports
✓ Whole-food strategies + mineral foundations
✓ Lifestyle shifts that regulate from the inside out
✓ Emotional prompts to support your healing mindset

📥 Drop “MITO” in the comments and I’ll DM it to you 💛

You’re not fragile. You’re wise.
Your body is asking for a new way forward and I’m here to help you find it.

✨ Bioidentical Hormones:

I’ve been getting more questions lately about whether I offer bioidentical hormone support… so here’s a little update!

While I don’t personally prescribe or oversee hormone therapy (I’m not a doctor), I absolutely support bioidentical hormones when used appropriately and with proper medical guidance.

That’s why I’ve partnered with Raena Health—a virtual women’s health platform co-developed by Dr. Leigh‑Erin Connealy, a pioneer in integrative and functional medicine, and her daughter. With over 30 years of experience as Medical Director at the Center for New Medicine and the Cancer Center for Healing, Dr. Connealy has helped thousands of women restore balance with a personalized, root-cause approach to hormone health.

Raena was born from their shared vision of making high-quality, individualized hormone care accessible to more women—without the typical medical gaslighting or guesswork.

Here’s what Raena offers:

💛 At-home hormone and nutrient testing
💛 Bioidentical hormone therapy through licensed providers
💛 Thyroid, adrenal, and metabolic support (including GLP-1)
💛 Personalized care plans rooted in both conventional and functional medicine

I recommend Raena when hormone therapy feels aligned—and if you’re also looking for foundational support (like nervous system regulation, detox pathways, mineral balance, and nutrition) that’s where I come in 💛

🌿 Let’s talk about KING coffee… because the stories I’ve been hearing (and seeing firsthand) are too powerful not to keep to myself. 🍄‍🟫

This isn’t your average cup of coffee — it’s infused with Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), a medicinal mushroom known for its calming, adaptogenic, and neuro-supportive properties.

Here’s what’s been shared with me lately:

☕ A woman with caffeine sensitivity saw her resting heart rate drop and better sleep — no jitters, just calm energy
☕ A family battling addiction found this was the first thing that helped ease intense cravings
☕ A practitioner who’s tried every supplement under the sun said this created the most profound shift she’s ever felt
☕ Another woman navigating mold illness + CIRS noticed better energy, mood, mental clarity, and less inflammation within weeks

These aren’t medical claims — they’re real stories from real people. And honestly? I’m blown away too.

🌟 And right now, there’s a limited-time offer where you can get wholesale pricing for an entire year (no monthly requirements, no strings attached). Perfect if you’re wanting to try it or stock up.

If your morning coffee hasn’t been loving you back, this might be worth exploring.

💬 Drop “KING” below and I’ll send you the info and link to get the promo while it lasts.

The amount of people dealing with toxic mold exposure is becoming increasingly common, causing many of their chronic health issues. Mold is usually not visible and is NOT only in old homes. The suggest is oftenn to use harsh mold products or bleach, which can actually makes the issue much more dangerous.

Most doctors overlook this as a root cause to many issues like cardiac disease, respiratory problems, mental health, chronic sinus infections and much more.

I got extremely sick from toxic mold exposure 2 times in the past 6 years and I’m still trying to overcome the damage that was done.

This is why I recommend testing for anyone struggling with unanswered health issues!

The Realtor:
Those windows are only 20 years old. You can’t make a low ball offer bc you don’t like the outdated windows.

The Inspector:
Mild disrepair found within each window.

The Mold Air Test:
Your numbers were lower inside than outside so thats proof you’re safe.

The MD:
All your labs are normal. Im not sure why you haven’t slept in 4 years.
Are you stressed?
Need a psych referral?

The Functional health provider:
Your 3k hormone panel showed your hormones are off.
Let’s balance them.
12k please.

The Window Company:
All your window seals failed & with the signs of rot there may be additional costs for demo & rebuilding the frame.

The Homeowner:
Can’t afford the repair or to move bc gave all $ to drs who could never find this or fix it.

The Truth:
YOURE NOT GETTING BETTER WHEN YOUR HOUSE IS IN THIS CONDITION.

Still sick is still exposed.
