✨ These are just a few of the incredible wins from our very first 8-Week Metabolic Reset.

Yes, the scale moved… but what excites me even more are the non-scale victories.

🤍 Better sleep
🤍 Fewer cravings
🤍 Lower blood pressure
🤍 Improved labs
🤍 Less inflammation
🤍 Clothes fitting better
🤍 More confidence
🤍 Better relationship with food
🤍 Feeling like themselves again

This program was never about chasing a number on the scale.

It was about improving metabolic health, building sustainable habits, and helping women feel better from the inside out.

Imagine where you could be just 8 weeks from now…

✨ If you’re ready to take control of your health, now is the time.

🌿 The next Metabolic Reset begins August 3.

✔️ Comprehensive lab work
✔️ Weekly meal plans
✔️ Live education & coaching

✨ The first group isn’t even finished yet… and the wins have been incredible. 🌿

We still have 3 weeks to go, and here’s what participants are already experiencing:

🤍 More energy throughout the day
🤍 Fewer cravings and less “food noise”
🤍 Better sleep
🤍 Lower blood pressure
🤍 Weight loss ranging from 4–11 pounds
🤍 Less PMS symptoms
🤍 A better understanding of how their body works

And the best part?

These results aren’t coming from crash diets, detox teas, or spending hours in the gym.

They’re coming from learning how to support the body with whole foods, movement, better sleep, stress management, and understanding the why behind metabolic health.

Because of the success of this first group, I’ve made the next one even better.

In addition to our metabolic lab panel, I’ve added:
🩺 Thyroid Panel
☀️ Vitamin D
💉 Vitamin B12
🌿 Folate

This gives us an even more complete picture of what’s happening beneath the surface so we can create a plan that’s personalized to YOU.

The next Back to Our Roots: 8-Week Metabolic Reset begins August 3rd.

If you’ve been feeling tired, struggling with weight, dealing with cravings, or simply want to understand your health on a deeper level, I’d love to have you join us.

💚 Enrollment closes July 20th.

DM me “RESET” and I’ll send you all the details!

🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙

Today, I’m grateful for the freedoms we often take for granted, the opportunity to gather with family and friends, and the simple joys of summer.

As you celebrate, remember that one meal, one dessert, or one day does not define your health. Enjoy the cookout, have the ice cream, make the memories, watch the fireworks, and soak up every moment. Then tomorrow, get right back to your healthy habits.

Health is built by what you do most of the time—not what you do on a holiday.

Wishing you and your family a safe, joyful, and blessed Independence Day. God Bless America! 🇺🇸

End of June Resolution Check-In 🌿

How’s everyone doing on those New Year’s resolutions? 😉

Here’s my June check-in:

✅ Moved my body 29 out of 30 days
✅ Hit 10,000+ steps 25 days
✅ Ate the majority of my meals from whole foods—even while on our family vacation
✅ Spent time outside all 30 days, bringing my total to 210+ hours outdoors this month!

Was it perfect?

Absolutely not.

Did I enjoy s’mores around the campfire? Yep.
Did I have margaritas with friends? Sure did.
Did I eat chips when I wanted something crunchy? Of course.

But here’s the difference…

I didn’t let one meal, one day, or one vacation turn into a month of giving up.

Consistency will always beat perfection.

And let me tell you… I feel GOOD.

Most people stop talking about their New Year’s resolutions by June.

Not me.

I share mine because accountability matters, and maybe seeing someone else keep showing up—even imperfectly—will encourage you to do the same.

So if you’ve fallen off…

Take this as your sign to start again.

Not next Monday.
Not next month.
Not next year.

Today.

One resolution.
One choice.
One day at a time. ❤️

Last week’s Supreme Court decision means Bayer won a major case that limits many lawsuits claiming Roundup should have carried additional cancer warnings beyond what the EPA required. Many people are thinking more carefully about what they’re using around their homes and families.

For our family, that decision doesn’t change much.

We’ve been choosing a different option for years.

Want to know how I kill w**ds without using glyphosate?

👇 Here’s my go-to recipe:

• 1 gallon 30% vinegar
• 1 cup salt
• 1 cup dish soap

Mix together and spray directly on w**ds on a hot, sunny day. It works best on young w**ds and may need to be reapplied after rain.

Is it perfect? No.
Does it kill every w**d forever? No.

But for our family, it’s a choice we feel good about making.

At the end of the day, none of us can avoid every environmental exposure. What we can do is reduce unnecessary ones where it makes sense.

Small changes, repeated over time, add up.

Have you ever tried a natural w**d killer? 🌿 save for when you need it in the future!

Vacation Food Without the Vacation Guilt ☀️🌲

One thing I’m really proud of from this trip was how naturally healthy choices have become for our family.

Before we left, I packed breakfast, lunch, and snacks for the drive there and back. That meant no fast-food stops, no grabbing candy at the gas station, and no bags of snacks loaded with artificial dyes and inflammatory oils just because we were hungry.

During our entire vacation, we only ate out twice.

One meal I enjoyed a lettuce wrap loaded with deli meat, potato chips, and (because vacation 😊) a cream soda float.

The other was naked wings, a few fries, and a fresh-squeezed margarita while enjoying time with friends.

Every other meal was homemade:
🥩 Steaks
🍔 Burgers (no bun for me)
🍗 Grilled wings
🥚 Eggs & bacon
🌮 Taco night
🥣 Yogurt bowls
☕ Protein coffees

Did I indulge?

Absolutely.

I had a gluten-free s’more around the bonfire.
I enjoyed a couple fresh-squeezed margaritas while we sat outside laughing with friends.
I grabbed a few handfuls of chips when I wanted something salty and crunchy.

And I don’t regret a single bite.

The biggest difference is this…

Years ago, when Doug and I traveled, vacation was an excuse to completely go off the rails. We’d stop at every fast-food restaurant I loved, fill up on gas station junk food, snack all day, and come home feeling sluggish, bloated, and guilty.

Now?

Healthy choices are simply our normal.

Vacation isn’t about restriction.
It’s also not about throwing every healthy habit out the window.

It’s about enjoying the memories, the people, and the food—all without feeling like you have to “start over” when you get home.

There was no vacation hangover.
No guilt.
No punishment workouts.
No “I’ll start Monday.”

Just right back to our normal routine.

That’s what sustainable health looks like. ❤️

It’s not perfection.

It’s creating habits that come with you—even on vacation.

Fathers are some of the most influential people in a child’s life. As I reflect on Father’s Day and celebrate Doug turning 40 this week, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible men who have shaped my life and the lives of our boys.

My dad taught us the value of hard work, showing up when you make a commitment, loyalty to family and friends, and never being ashamed to tell people how you feel. So many of the qualities I value most in myself came from him, and in today’s world, I couldn’t be more thankful for that example.

My father-in-law brings laughter wherever he goes, has a heart full of compassion for others, and more creativity and talent than anyone I know. His ability to build, create, and fix just about anything has certainly come in handy whenever I come up with another house project!

And then there’s Doug. My biggest supporter, my partner in all of my crazy ideas, and the man who continues to show up for our family day after day. He works hard, loves us well, and is raising our boys by example—teaching them what it means to be good men, husbands, and fathers someday.

What a blessing our boys have to be surrounded by such incredible role models. Men who lead with integrity, loyalty, compassion, faith, and love.

And to those who are grieving this Father’s Day, whether through loss, absence, or longing, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Days like today can be bittersweet.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, and happy 40th birthday to my favorite one.

🌿 Out of Office Notice 🌿

Back to Our Roots will be out of office from June 16th through June 21st as our family takes some time away on vacation.

We will be in a fairly remote area, so cell service and internet access may be limited. Because of this, responses to messages, emails, and phone calls may be delayed.

For non-medical questions, my assistant, Kaytlin, will be available on Wednesday and Thursday mornings and will respond to messages as she is able during those times.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we take this time to recharge and enjoy family time.

Wishing you all a wonderful week, and a very Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads, grandpas, stepdads, and father figures out there! 💙
