Nest Health Connections

19/09/2025

Thrilled to share a new podcast episode I co-hosted with Nest Health Connections local wellness expert, Abby Kranitz, featuring Dr. Josh DeMorett PT, DPT, OCS, USAW-1 —Doctor of Physical Therapy and owner of Tundra Performance and Physical Therapy.

We explored movement, mindset, chronic pain, and what’s possible with the right guidance. Josh shared inspiring stories (like helping patients avoid surgery) and offered practical hope for living without pain.

Our clients loved Josh’s keynote last month, and this deeper conversation was too good not to keep going. If you’re in Colorado and looking for a PT, don’t hesitate to reach out to Josh—he’s the real deal.
Tune in to the episode—you may walk away seeing pain and movement in a whole new light. Grateful for our incredible community of wellness providers who share their gifts so generously- bringing knowledge, care, and hope to everyone they touch. 🙏❤️

This weekend on Orcas Island, I stumbled upon something I’d never tried before: kiwi berries! 🥝🍇

Think of them as miniature kiwis—about the size of a grape, fuzz-free, and you eat them whole (yes, skin and all!). They’re bursting with flavor—sweet, tangy, and a little tropical surprise I didn’t know I needed.

It was a tiny reminder of how good it feels to try something new.
Whether it’s a new food, a new trail, or a new perspective—it doesn’t have to be big or scary to be meaningful. Sometimes, a fresh experience comes in a grape-sized package.

This week’s wellness nudge:
👉 Say yes to one small new thing.
Try a new recipe, sign up for a different class, take a new route home. You never know what little joy might be waiting.

Curious minds: have you tried kiwi berries?! 😍
If not, keep an eye out—they’re in season and totally worth it. 💚

This week our clients were in for a treat with our ONE POT WONDER cooking demo. This theme was inspired by all of us who want healthy, satisfying meals without spending hours in the kitchen—or cleaning up a million dishes. These recipes are perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, and even feeding the whole family (yes, picky eaters included). We talked about how to build a nourishing one-pot meal, why they’re so great for your energy, digestion, and stress levels! I whipped up two delicious recipes in 30 minutes! You can find both recipes (Roasted Chicken Thighs, Potatoes and Cauliflower as well as Red Curry Lentils with Sweet Potatoes and Spinach) on our website - https://www.nesthealthconnections.com/recipes

🎧 Now Streaming - Happier + Healthier with Nest: This Month’s Podcast Episode - Financial Wellness with Tory Tripp

We talk a lot about self-care — eating the right foods, moving your body, practicing mindfulness — but here’s the truth:
💥 You can do all the yoga in the world, but if you're waking up at 3am worrying about money, that’s not wellness.
Money stress is real.
✔️ 65% of Americans say it’s a top source of stress.
✔️ It impacts anxiety, sleep, focus, and even physical health.
✔️ And in the workplace, it’s quietly affecting productivity and engagement.

That’s why I was excited to interview Tory Tripp - financial representative, advocate for financial literacy in schools and the founder of FemGen Wealth. Last month our Nest Health Connections clients had the pleasure to meet Tory and listen to a presentation on 'Financial Priorities' - when everything seems important - paying off credit cards, student loans, saving for kids college, buying a house - where do you start? The presentation was so well received that we thought we should talk a little more on a podcast.

Whether you feel totally overwhelmed by finances or just want to level up your confidence with money — you’re in the right place - Tory shares practical advice, mindset shifts, and encouragement to help you build confidence with your money and create a financially well future. I hope you'll give it a listen and LMK what you think. 😀

I wrote this month’s blog 😳

I’m usually behind the scenes curating wellness content—not writing it—but after using red light therapy to help heal a precancerous spot on my lip, I felt inspired to share a few thoughts.

This quick mid-year wellness trends post covers things like:
• Why red light therapy is getting so much buzz (hint: skin health, inflammation, cellular repair)
• The rise of analog wellness
• What’s working and what’s fading fast

Take a peek 👇

Would love to know what trend has you curious right now!

At Nest Health Connections, we’re all about meaningful connections—especially with the thought leaders who are reshaping how we think about well-being. 💡

This week, we hosted a virtual session on Zoom with Dr. Josh DeMorett, Doctor of Physical Therapy and founder of Tundra Peak Performance in Denver, CO.

In just 30 minutes, Josh delivered an engaging, down-to-earth presentation that helped our clients rethink pain. He demystified the many factors that influence it—and offered real, hopeful steps toward lasting relief and better understanding of the body.

💻 Whether online or in person, we’re proud to bring forward thinkers like Josh to our clients—because conversations like these spark change.

📍And of course—if you’re in Denver and looking for an incredible physical therapist, we couldn’t recommend Josh more. Please reach out!

Hi friends!
Next Sunday, I’m riding in the “Ride to End Alzheimer’s” in Fort Collins 🚴‍♀️💜

This cause means a lot to me—100% of donations go directly to research, and as many of you know, Alzheimer’s is a heartbreaking disease that affects far too many families.

🙏 If you feel called to give, I’d be so grateful for your support.
And… it’s not too late to join me on the ride! If you’re feeling adventurous, let me know!

Thank you so much! 💜

I am inspired by science and driven by determination to end Alzheimer's. Donate today and help advance research toward the first survivor of Alzheimer's.

To be awake is more than alert; it's being attuned, open, and grounded in what is. To be alive is more than joyful; it's letting life flow through you, in all its wild textures.

Our 2025 Awake & Alive Retreat took place last week in Nosara, Costa Rica and it exceeded all expectations.🥹 Through yoga, meditation, jungle hikes, horseback riding, sound healing, kayaking, swimming, and soulful connection, we moved, felt, and awakened together.

We left with full hearts, meaningful tools, and the most beautiful sisterhood. We’re still riding the high of it all and feeling immense gratitude for how it came together! If you have an interest in learning more about our retreats, please reach out! We are already thinking about next year! 💫💃🏼🧘‍♀️🐒

We’ve been hosting monthly cooking demos for the past few years to inspire our clients to get into the kitchen and eat real food.

As a self-proclaimed folk cook 👩‍🍳 I usually go with the flow—cooking what’s in season and using whatever I have on hand. But today, we baked… which meant measuring, precision, and patience!

I had the joy of being in my dear friend Courtney Ring’s kitchen, learning the beautiful basics of sourdough: how to start a starter and how to bake the most delicious loaf (topped with everything bagel seasoning—yes, please! 🥯).

The bread was so good, I’m now seriously motivated to start my own starter and share the process.
If you’ve got tips, I’d love them—let’s do this together! 🥖💬

Thank you, Courtney, for sharing your brilliance with our clients and bringing so much heart to the kitchen. ❤️

Team Nest in my kitchen — my favorite kind of day!
This week’s cooking demo was all about HERBS 🌿 — growing them, storing them, and (best of all) cooking with them. We shared simple tips and flavorful inspiration, including one of my favorite recipes (super green sun-dried tomato herb salad with crispy chicken peas).

Did you know basil is actually a natural mood booster thanks to its essential oils like eugenol and linalool? It’s not just delicious — it’s feel-good food! 😋

What’s your favorite herb to cook with? Let us know in the comments.

The world feels loud right now—politics, the economy, uncertainty—it’s a lot. I’ve felt the weight of it in my chest, in my sleep, in my breath. But tonight, I chose to pause and let the sunset remind me: fear is loud, but love is louder.

I’m choosing to lead with love. To root into what matters. To keep showing up with compassion, courage, and hope.

Even in the chaos, love is always an option. And tonight, that’s enough.

This is the first of many little grounding moments I’ll be sharing each week—a reminder that love, presence, and nature are always here to hold us. If you’re feeling the swirl too… you’re not alone. Let’s root into what matters, one breath at a time.
