Twelve years ago, learning about gut health was the catalyst for my own healing journey. (See that second pic? That was a 3 month before and after, when I started working on my own gut through targeted supplements!)

I didn’t expect it. I thought I was just learning about digestion. What I actually found was the beginning of understanding my mood, my energy, my whole approach to holistic health.

I still see this play out in practice constantly. A woman comes to me after trying everything for her mood, her energy, her weight. Therapy. Supplements. More discipline. Nobody has asked about her gut.

Here’s why that matters: your gut produces the majority of your body’s serotonin. When it’s inflamed or imbalanced, your mood and energy are some of the first places that shows up.

This is why functional testing matters to me. The GI-MAP doesn’t guess. It shows what’s actually happening in your microbiome, so we can address what’s really going on instead of layering another supplement on top of an unanswered question.

Your gut isn’t working against you. It’s been sending you alerts. Mine sure was.

ADHD isn’t just about focus. It affects your nervous system, your energy, your eating habits, your emotions, and even your ability to follow through on the healthy habits you know you “should” be doing.

In this week’s episode, I sat down with ADHD coach and functional nutrition practitioner Amy Jones to discuss why so many women are misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, or burnout before discovering ADHD may be part of the picture.

We talk about:
- Blood sugar and mood
- Nervous system regulation
- Why meal planning feels overwhelming
- ADHD-friendly nutrition strategies
- How to stop relying on willpower

One of my favorite reminders:
🔥 Consistency is safety to the nervous system.

I used to think my 10am crash meant I needed more caffeine.

Turns out it meant I needed more protein the hour before.

Coffee on an empty stomach feels like a quick fix. But without something to slow the absorption, it speeds up the very crash you’re trying to avoid. You feel sharp for twenty minutes, then foggier than before.

This is one of the simplest shifts I teach clients, and it’s almost always underestimated. Not because it’s complicated. Because it doesn’t feel like enough.

But your brain runs on steady fuel, not willpower. And the women who finally stabilize this one thing are often shocked at how much it touches: mood, focus, cravings, even how short their fuse feels by 3pm.

Small shift. HUGE impact.

One encouraged me to pursue my love of communication.

He went to all my (many) theatre performances, and he read every essay and story before I turned them in. He dreamed big with me. He built my confidence in writing and speaking, helping me believe that I really could “live beyond my labels.” (Fun fact: when I was 4, I told my mom I wanted to preach in front of people like my dad. That’s also when I decided I would be a writer.)

My dad has always encouraged me to live out my God-given purpose.

The other one became an insta-dad, adopting Isabel a year into our marriage, following the example of his own father’s love for him, but also following the example of our Heavenly Father’s adoption of us into HIS family.

He daily encourages our kids to be warriors for truth and love on the inside, yet gentle on the outside. He is a warrior for us all, and his steady intentionality is grounding. He speaks truth over our kids’ lives, reminding them of their identity in Christ.

He is a safe place for all of us.

Happy Father’s Day to my dad and Richard!

I find it fascinating that the things God wove throughout Scripture (giving thanks, sitting in stillness, fixing your mind on what is good, standing in awe of his works) are the exact same things researchers are now measuring in labs and finding change the brain.
 
Nope, it’s not a coincidence.
 
God designed your nervous system. He knew what it needed long before we had the tools to measure it.
 
Faith and science aren’t in competition. In my experience, they keep pointing to the same thing.

In fact, nothing has deepened my personal relationship with God more than digging into his design for my body and how detailed and interconnected everything is!
 
Save this one. And share it with someone who needs the reminder that caring for their body and walking with God are not separate pursuits.

Brain fog. Afternoon crashes. Irritability that surprises even you. Sleep that never feels like enough.
 
I hear about these every single week from women who have been told their labs are normal, their age is showing, or they just need to push through.
 
But here’s what I know after years of working with women in functional medicine: symptoms are never random. They are always communication.
 
Your body is not working against you. It is working for you, trying to alert you to something that needs attention before it becomes something bigger.
 
The four symptoms in this post are some of the most common ones I see. And in almost every case, there’s a root worth looking at.
 
You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through another season feeling like this.

The all-or-nothing cycle is exhausting.
 
And I want you to know it’s not a character flaw. It’s not weak willpower. It’s a pattern your nervous system learned, and it’s one you can actually change.
 
In this week’s Sparking Wholeness episode I’m talking about why summer derails us (or me - haha) why we get stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, and five simple foundations to help you reconnect with your body, your habits, and your faith without the pressure of doing it perfectly.
