Did you know muscles are metabolic organs? 💪

✨️ Muscle does far more than help us move. It plays a powerful role in blood sugar regulation, insulin sensitivity, energy production, hormone balance, immune function, and healthy aging.

✨️ As we get older, especially during midlife and menopause, we naturally begin to lose muscle mass. This can affect metabolism, energy, body composition, and overall resilence.

✨️ Prioritizing enough protein, strength training, quality sleep, stress management, and nourishing your body can make a huge difference.

✨️ Muscle is not just about strength. It is one of the most important organs for long term health and vitality.

So, enjoy the celebrations....just remember to work those large muscles after! 🏋

Our very own Nikki Barkhaus FDN-P, was invited to speak and educate pastors and church leaders during “Embodied,” an Iowa District LeaderCare retreat focused on rest, renewal, and whole-person health. The retreat was held May 6th at Riverside Bible Camp, a place very special to her family ✝️

Nikki's focus was on how nutrition supports faith formation, "Nourishing the Body That Carries the Calling".

The audience was incredibly attentive, asked thoughtful questions, and even participated in complimentary nutrient scans — with some very impressive scores seen that day!

Nikki is so grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful time of education in holistic health and community.

Psalms 139:14 - I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Healthy Homemade Jam Recipe 🍓🫐

Ingredients:
2 cups fresh or frozen organic berries of your choice (I used raspberries!)
3 tablespoons organic chia seeds
1/4 cup filtered water
1 tablespoon organic lemon juice
1-2 tablespoons granulated monk fruit sweetener

Directions:
1. Combine berries, water, lemon juice, and monk fruit sweetener in a medium saucepan.
2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the mixture becomes juicy. If using larger berries, mash some of the berries with a fork for desired texture.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
4. Stir in the chia seeds. Mix well.
5. Let the mixture stand for about 15-20 minutes, stirring a couple of times. The jam will thicken as the chia seeds gel. It will continue to thicken upon cooling as well.
6. Once cooled, transfer to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Enjoy your jam!

Special thanks to Suzanne for sharing🩷

Infertility journeys can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to walk it alone 🤍

One of our clients recently shared how working through functional nutrition has already made a meaningful difference. She’s noticing better energy, becoming more intentional with her nutrition choices, and learning how to manage stress in a healthier way.

While she hasn’t reached her end goal just yet, she remains hopeful and encouraged - and spoke so highly of the support she’s received from our team every step of the way.

This is what it’s about… supporting the body, restoring balance, and creating the foundation for what’s possible.

We’re honored to be part of journeys like this.
