I’m coming up on 2 years sober, and I still get my good vibes- only now it comes from herbs, mostly. And not probably the kind you are thinking of! Mine are adaptogens and nootropics. If you are at all sober-curious or just want some alternatives, check out the brand new Lux Healthstyle Edition. This is the first one! Also- check out what adaptogens and nootropics to pick to set the right mood.

The most beautiful part of a natural swimming pool is the reason it thrives: water filtration by the roots, water flowing and aerating (plus some beneficial bacteria that we add).
This is similar to what I do with my clients and their digestion- getting things moving and getting the bacteria back in balance so they can thrive. A sort of leitmotif of my life. 😊

Synthetic progestin- found in birth control and hormonal IUDs- is only protecting a women from giving birth and actually does help maintain the uterine lining thickness, but wreaks all kinds of havoc on all of the other cells with progesterone (what our body produces) receptors. Bioidentical progesterone has all of these benefits- see photo.

Founder’s Day is not my jam this year. It’s a dirty chai protein latte, hormone studying, chill music listening kind of day. And does this air plant and hand holder give you as much joy as it gives me?

Your body, your hormones. Friends, if you are feeling worse, hips are widening, joint and headache pain is more pronounced, have hot flashes, getting itching, libido is gone, etc.- your natural hormones are declining- let’s talk.
Your doctor will need to prescribe them (and make sure-no synthetics) and I can partner with you to make sure you are detoxifying them through the proper channels.

Spring is here at our natural swimming pool!
Should I wax on poetic about spring and transformation and the new moon and soon to be eclipse also signaling a time of renewal and rebirth?

Let’s talk about green tea today. Don’t you love my matcha maker, btw?

Green tea can help calm symptoms of PCOS and is said to have anti-androgenic effects. What does that mean? Well, the things I described above and some technical terms- idiopathic hirsutism, androgenic alopecia, and acne.

When I analyze the results of my favorite hormone lab, I can see how your body is metabolizing testosterone and estrogen. Are you metabolizing estrogen down a cancerous pathway? I see that. Is testosterone metabolizing down this unfavorable pathway? How are your cortisol levels?

I work with clients on diet, stress reduction, rest, movement (exercise or other), and supplements based on their lab work.

Show me the data and I will show you results!

There is a supplement that is my favorite for up regulating this pathway. You can find it here, and will be eligible for discounts in the future.

Excerpt- “It is now clear that a specific green tea catechin, (-)epigallocatechin-3-gallate, can modulate the production and biological actions of androgens and other hormones. Modulation of androgenic activity and administration of (-)epigallocatechin-3-gallate may be useful for the treatment of various hormone-related abnormalities, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, baldness, and acne, as well as androgen-dependent and -independent prostate cancers.”

If you see me all frizzed out and smiling, you know you caught me after a good workout. Someday I will be up to 33 lbs like her. Someday…

Snap, fizz and feeling good. We tried a new -alcoholic sip tonight by the pool. Reminiscent of a wine spritzer, perhaps?

What I do when my gut feels full and inflamed-
As a holistic health coach, I have a few non-negotiable habits I lean on…

1. Prioritizing rest- reading a book, spending downtime with people I love, hanging out watching birds sip from the natural swimming pool, etc.

2. Deep belly breaths, focused on healing my gut- easy, free and often overlooked

3. Staying hydrated and focused on minerals. My favorite is .minerals and my filtered water.

4. Sipping slowly on this homemade bone broth (this recipe is from my Cancer-Fighting Kitchen cookbook). I make a huge pot and freeze in mason jars so it is always on hand. To this, I heated and added fresh ginger and fresh garlic, juice of 1/2 lime, Celtic sea salt and curry powder. I just told my husband that I could live off of this! So delicious!!

5. Gentle movements like Pilates, yoga, or just stretching.

6. Definitely planning on getting in front of my red light, too.

7. session to calm my central nervous system.

What are your go-to habits?

Ready for some inner work? Do you feel stuck and ready to overcome health hurdles? Do you have a desire to help others? This is a quote from my recent podcast interview on the Health Detective. I was at a place where I was called to do the work required to get well. What about you, friend?

The new Pilates room is my daughter’s former room. She moved to a bigger bedroom and we got a workout haven, thanks to my husband’s great idea! And my daughter is back on her room working out!

Super simple and satisfying! Protein- sardines and lentil pasta. Fat- olive oil and olives. Yummy carbs- artichoke, peppers and mint leaves. Add some garlic, juice of 1 fresh lemon and some salt. Soooo amazing for my post workout meal.

When you are moderately reactive to “healthy foods.” This is why every client gets a food sensitivity lab done. You don’t even have to be eating the food to be reactive. When you’re eating health, but your health seems to be declining- it isn’t because you are getting older. There is a reason. This is the 1st step to healing.

Today was about getting enough protein, post workout, and preventing disease.
Quinoa, h**p seeds, mushrooms, olives, broccoli sprouts, beet greens, roasted garlic cloves, and sweet potatoes!
Perfect.
