Most popular wellness advice has been based on studies done primarily on men- whose bodies naturally follow a 24-hour biological rhythm. Their hormones rise and fall predictably from morning to night, and that same rhythm resets each day.

Women, on the other hand, operate on a ~ 28-day hormonal cycle that can be broken into 4 different phases, each with unique hormonal shifts, energy patterns, and needs.

That means the best ways to eat, exercise, work, socialize- and pretty much do anything- changes throughout the month depending on where we are in our cycle.

At first, this may seem like a burden, but I’m here to show you that it's actually an incredible gift.

When we honor each phase of our cycle, it’s like unlocking hidden superpowers that we might otherwise miss out on.

This empowering post provides an understandable explanation of the purpose of our menstrual cycle, the 4 cycle phases, and how to sync with them for better health, energy, mood, productivity, + more!

I used to rely on over-the-counter medications for every ache, pain, or issue with my body because it was all I knew. But over time, I noticed that certain medications stopped working, some caused side effects that created new problems, and overall, my body just felt worse.

While modern medicine and OTCs are invaluable for emergencies or conditions that can’t be solved naturally, they’re often not necessary when we learn how to lean on natural remedies.

Natural remedies typically come with little to no side effects AND they often support the body in multiple ways while providing relief.

We’ve been disempowered in how we respond to our body’s signals. Symptoms are messages from the body, yet instead of addressing the root cause, we’re taught to reach for quick-fix “band-aids” like medications, pharmaceuticals, or even surgery… sometimes for issues that could be resolved naturally.

This entire series is about healing from the root, so following the holistic steps I’ve shared will naturally reduce symptoms over time. But there are also targeted natural remedies (like herbs and simple daily practices) that can bring quicker relief when needed!

When I was struggling with my own health issues, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Suddenly, everything we used or consumed felt like a potential threat. My small shifts toward a healthier lifestyle turned into a complete overhaul.

I was desperate to heal, and my mom was determined to beat cancer. And we did. A huge part of that journey was rethinking everything we brought into our home and used on our bodies- from deodorant to cleaning supplies to the air we breathed.

I realized that it wasn’t just about food. Just like the food industry, other big industries prioritize profit over health- using the cheapest, often synthetic, ingredients. But the truth is that there are many alternatives! This episode shares how to make shifts to safer products with suggestions to make it all easier!

Nutrient deficiencies are the root cause of so many struggles- and they’re incredibly common! In fact, 94% of the U.S. population is deficient in Vitamin D, according to the Linus Pauling Institute.

Figuring out my unique deficiencies helped me get clear on what would actually make a difference- so I could feel better, faster, WITHOUT wasting money on products that didn’t address my body’s real needs.

This crash course will explain how to figure out your own unique deficiencies and how to correct them, as well as figuring out what supplements are best for you.

Gut health is the foundation of how you feel every day. If I had to pick just one thing for people to focus on, it would be this.

Improving gut health can greatly improve digestive issues, chronic fatigue, poor sleep, mood and mental health struggles, skin issues, weight struggles, pain and inflammation, food intolerances, AND autoimmune and thyroid issues.

This crash course breaks it down so you can understand what your body needs and take action in a way that works for YOU.

Today, someone can say they "eat healthy” and it can mean all kinds of different things.

True healthy eating can be based on what is supportive to humans in general, as well as our own unique needs and sensitivities.

Humans in general benefit most from real foods consumed in a balanced way.

As individuals, we may have unique sensitivities or nutritional needs that may make us gravitate away from or towards certain foods.

The key is a balanced approach that includes paying attention to how most human bodies thrive and also paying attention to our own body’s signals and cues.

If you’ve been spinning your wheels trying to feel better and never having enough time or energy- don’t skip over these foundational basics. 

This post explores how to eat healthy without restriction to improve your health issues like low energy, mind issues, digestion issues, skin issues, pain & stiffness, weight, and more!

I’m kicking off this informative series a bit unconventionally by sharing my existential crisis that led me to see death, life on earth, and the body in a new way… which ultimately motivated my healing journey.

We are souls in human bodies. Our bodies and minds are not us, but rather the vehicles for our souls to live at their fullest potential in this lifetime. 

And we are not here to suffer! In fact, the human body is constantly working to stay in homeostasis… So why are so many of us feeling low energy and burdened by our bodies?

This post and series dives into this and empowers you to heal from the root and live the extraordinary life your soul craves.
