I’ve taken a MAJOR break from social media and it feels amazing! I’ve been able to give my best energy to building my bright future ahead. Feels like I’m going to be back in school forever 😂 and simultaneously, I’ve been able to give more of my energy to volunteer work, my holistic coaching practice including plant medicine sales, as well as my work with youth through my behavioral services job. I am grateful 🙏 I’ve never really loooved social media and definitely don’t love having to keep a constant presence online in the virtual world 🤷‍♀️ but I AM HERE! Just a call, an email, website click, or text away from genuine connection. Stay beautiful, people, and always be kind. 🫶 😎 💚 Enjoy the holiday weekend 🇺🇸

🍏 🥜 We. Are. Humans. 🍏 🥜
As most of the InFoodWeTrust community of followers know, we must do our best to read ALL food labels before purchase in order to trust the food we eat and avoid ingredients that can damage our gut linings and other aspects of our health.
Sound good? Easy? Challenging?
Well, I messed up! Here’s the thing, we are all human and we make mistakes. It’s normal and natural. It happens.
I was rushing at the grocery store, didn’t read a label, and bam 💥 Here I am, eating food additives I could have avoided.
I typically buy peanut butter that has only peanuts on the ingredients list…while rushing, I grabbed a jar and realized this morning it has additional oils and sugars in it 😵‍💫 oops.
IT IS OKAY. I can be more aware next time. I can give myself grace. But let’s take a little look at how I teach my clients to shop:
BEFORE going to the store, carve out 10-15 mins to double check ingredients lists online so you know exactly what you can trust and buy once you get to the store. Luckily, we can now check these things online in the comforts of our homes or at a local library. You can look at the ingredients lists on the product website home page or the grocery store website. This saves so much time so you don’t have to spend more than 10 minutes in every aisle of the store checking ingredients lists. When you grab the item at the store, take 30 seconds to look at the ingredients list to make sure nothing has changed on the label; companies occasionally change ingredients and recipes. 30 seconds vs 10 minutes in a grocery aisle is quite the difference!
✨ If you want to see my FULL guide to reading labels at the grocery store or at home, DM/PM me your email address and the words “food shopping” and I’ll send you a helpful and TRUSTworthy PDF to get you through your weekly grocery shopping. ✨
Remember, it takes time to get the hang of reading ingredients lists and navigating our tricky food system. There is so much more depth to this topic, and I always love to chat about food ingredients.
So, I’ll survive with these few unwanted ingredients, but I will do better next time. You can, too. You’ve got this 💪

🦃 RELATIONSHIPS 🦃
Another piece to the Integrative Nutrition puzzle is relationships 🧩 👭
Relationships are more than your connection with your partner or spouse. Relationships include friends, family, neighbors, your grocery cashier, your banker you see every other week, your barista, mailman…really anyone you speak to more than once in your life. Relationships are wonderful to practice kindness, compassion, compromise, differences of opinions/perspectives, communication skills, and much much more.
Relationships are so important in balancing and providing happy hormones in our bodies as well as community in a world that can sometimes feel very lonely.
Of course, not all relationships are fine & dandy or sunshine and roses, but that means we have a beautiful opportunity to either, practice patience, practice challenging discussion, or practice how to leave or walkway from a bad relationship.
‘Tis the season for relationships! The next several weeks will be full of communication, discussion, compromise, laughter, tears, happiness, disappointment, and the best of all, SO MUCH LOVE.
Remember, we become most like the top 5 people we surround ourselves with, so with that in mind, be kind, loving, patient, and extra understanding this holiday season.
TOMORROW is Thanksgiving, a delicious start to the holiday season. Always take big deep breathes if you feel at all overwhelmed this season, say “no” if you’re not comfortable with something like a food item or hug with someone you don’t favor, DO NOT go broke to show your love, and most important, CHERISH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE from a roof over your head, to running water, electricity, a car, a job, anything to have gratitude and spread as much love and cheer as you can. Don’t fake it, we are all humans. Just spread love when you can and preserve your energy when you feel necessary.
Happy Thanksgiving to all and remember, YOU MUST EAT! Do not be shy and DO NOT punish yourself or tell yourself you need to “earn” your food via extreme diet or exercise. ENJOY every single bite. You’ve got this 💪 Cheers! 🦃🥂
✨ Always send me a PM or DM if you are looking for support. I am here for you. ✨

✨ E D U C A T I O N ✨
Another valuable part of our integrative nutrition journey is education.

Education comes in all shapes and sizes.

The key is always finding what is right for YOU and your journey.

Let’s break it down…there is formal education and informal education. Some education is best in a classroom or laboratory setting. Some education is best out in the “field” wherever is best location for that piece of education. Some education is in the form of discussion and some education is simply being willing to read a new book about a topic you know nothing about.

If formal education, like attending a college or certification course is not your style, try asking to learn a new skill at work, or try picking up learning a new hobby.

The idea is to learn something you DID NOT KNOW yesterday.

Learning something new on a semi-regular basis is essential for exercising our brain 🧠 and enhancing our integrative nutrition journey. Education opens our minds and expands our perspectives. Guess what, whether we realize it or not, our perspectives creep into our daily discussions and behaviors, always.

For example, the photos with this post show me in the lab working on chemistry and the other photo shows my income tax course🧪 🧬 🤓 📚

Both of those courses are to work toward my future goal of obtaining a masters degree and becoming the best registered dietician and nutritionist around. This education feeds my passion and my future as well as keeps me in line with my integrative nutrition journey.

When learning something new, try to find credible sources…which means, do not do a simple search engine inquiry. Look for peer reviewed articles, notable authors or magazines. The occasional documentary is great, too. You can ask your local librarian for help! Ask you friends, family, peers, and colleagues what they are doing for continued education as inspiration if you are stuck.

So, with ALL of that in mind, try learning something new today! I believe in YOU. ✨

As always, I am here to support you on your integrative nutrition journey. DM/PM me for direct support. Be well and learn something new today, my friends ✨

😋 🤤 HOME COOKING 🤤 😋

One of the BEST parts of Integrative Nutrition is this one of the 12 pieces to your wellness puzzle 🧩

It’s the part where we get to EAT 👏

Here I am, waiting for these delightful little turkey cups to come out of the oven. 6 to eat over the next couple days, and 17 to pop in the freezer for a quick addition of protein for any dish in the future. Yes, you did the math right, that’s 23 cups. Of course you get to try one when they first come out of the oven! That’s your 24th 😉

What we eat truly impacts our health and wellness; a no brainer for some, an interesting new adventure for others. Both are fantastic.

But how do you know what to eat and how is it possible to sustain good nutrition in a world of hustle and bustle on the daily?

Not to mention, there are over 100 dietary theories out there!

*Home Cooking* is a piece to your wellness puzzle you won’t dislike after you open your mind to , , and simply learning something new.

It’s best to figure out what you need to eat on a basic level, then explore options based on what you currently enjoy eating, followed by the willingness to try something new.

Oof, sometimes it sounds exhausting! However, that’s why learning little tricks in the kitchen and at the grocery store (or grocery app!) are great ways to make home cooking a lot easier, less daunting, and much more sustainable.

If all of this still sounds like a lot to take in, don’t worry, I am here to help.

Send me a private message 💌 to save your spot in my 6-Month program. Why 6 months? It typically takes 6 months to create permanent lasting change.

Now ask yourself, how many times did I eat outside of my home last week? How many times have I eaten outside of my home this week? Take-out at home is considered eating out. Nice try! 😂

Now, who’s hungry?!

✨ What inspires you? ✨

Do you ever feel lack luster, unmotivated, or stuck in the same loop of daily grind?

We’ve all been there. You are never alone.

What do you do to re-inspire yourself?

There are so many options! Draw, write, read, walk outside, hike, exercise, practice yoga and/or meditation, sing, dance, take an educational class, start a new school venture, start a new hobby, the opportunities are endless!

I am going back to school this fall to get re-inspired. I cannot wait to enrich my mind. I’m also reading an incredible book about rebalancing female hormones and utilizing/leveraging female hormones as a tool to conquer, inspire, and excel in our lives, rather than something we are stuck with and have to deal with regardless of how it makes us ladies feel.

Summer is almost over and Autumn is just around the corner. Starting a new season is inspiring, too!

So, I am taking a giant deep breath and becoming inspired for the next steps in my journey through life.

✨✨What inspires YOU? Are you spinning on your hamster wheel or leaping toward your future and next adventure? It’s up to you ✨✨You’ve got this 💪 🙌

HINT: There is no “right” answer. Your journey is special and unique. 💛

☀️ PROUD ☀️

Today I am so proud!!

I have been talking about detoxing with one of my clients for many many months and she finally took the plunge!

She’s the type of human who won’t do it until she does it, but when she does it, she goes aaalllllll out and seriously commits! She is determined and excited about her detox.

I am so proud of her! Hip Hip Hooray for detox days! 🎉

Why detox? 🤔 🧐 🤨 🤓

In simple terms, our bodies need a detox/cleanse at least 1 or 2 times every year. As much as some of us would like to think we’ve got it all under control, it’s impossible to be toxin-free in this world. Think plastics, topicals, processed foods, polluted air, etc etc.

What are *some* benefits?
🌿 Clean guts lead to a clean mind
🌿 Clean guts lead to better skin
🌿 Clean guts lead to less physical pain (think inflammation diminished)
🌿 Clean guts lead to a SEXY body (and that’s without excessively working out!)

There are lots of reasons to detox. It will be a little different for everyone, but a lot of the results can yield the same!

Have you ever wondered about or explored detoxing? If so, let’s chat, exchange tips, or prepare to commit to a tried and true detox together.

💥 DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT 💥

Physical Activity is one of the 12 important pieces to your integrative nutrition puzzle 🧩

*B U T*

It’s crucial to do something different! Mix it up! The body gets used to your same daily loop around your neighborhood.

Your fullest potential is in exploring your options for physical activity.

Take a hike, walk a long beach, find a scenic spot to explore, take a fitness class, ask a friend to join your for a jog in a different neighborhood-maybe even one with lots of hills!

Your body will thank in the long run , no pun intended 🤣

Over time, you will physically and emotionally feel SO GOOD, plus you will start to see the difference in the mirror.

Physical activity doesn’t have to be rigorous or aggressive. It can be calm, like some yoga or gentle pilates to increase your strength.

Whatever it is, DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT!

If you need a little help mixing it up, you’re not alone!

Digestion begins in the mouth!

There are many benefits to proper oral hygiene.

Are you practicing proper oral hygiene like regular brushing and flossing?

We need our mouths in the best condition possible to support our digestion.

Are you able to chew? If so, are you practicing 22 chews per bite before swallowing? By chewing your foods FULLY, the rest of the digestive track can excel.

By flossing and brushing regularly, we provide ourselves with simple and easy to execute personal and preventative care.

Regular flossing and brushing helps decrease bad bacteria in the mouth, too!

These are all points that will majorly support your digestion.

There is certainly a domino effect for those not practicing these few simple orally hygienic practices!

It only takes 4-5 minutes to complete this little routine and has exponential and long term beneficial results!

Are you running to the store for floss, now?

I hope so!

Now, let’s get to the serious business, drop your favorite toothpaste flavor below! 👇

Mint? Cinnamon? etc etc 🦷 👄 Mine is in the comments!
