Ever notice how a once-trusted “natural” brand suddenly feels different? We open the hood on wellness marketing and show how to shop with clarity in a market full of green leaves, soft colors, and big promises. Shelly shares why brand buyouts can change what’s in your favorite juice or protein powder, how to spot red flags like sucralose and vague flavor blends, and a simple system you can use to verify claims without spending hours in the aisle.

We start with a quick reset on what really matters: ingredients over imagery. From there, we dig into greenwashing—how words like natural and clean are used to create trust without accountability—and what third‑party seals actually mean. You’ll learn how to treat USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified as helpful signals rather than guarantees, and how to pair them with a fast ingredient scan to make confident choices. 

If you’re a parent juggling wellness for a household, follow some of Shelly's simple steps to help your family be their healthiest. Just making simple clean swaps can make all the difference in health, energy and longevity now and into the future! And for moms who want deeper support, I share details about our upcoming Moms Who Flourish mentorship—coaching on nutrition, fitness, sleep, and stress that fits real life and real milestones.
