Have you had this ridiculous thought?

It's a NEW DAY, Reader! Imagine these scenarios with me for a moment... You want to plant some flowers and you need to know more about what kinds will grow well in your yard... but you don't want to bother the workers at the garden center, so you just continue to cultivate dandelions the rest of your life. You want to buy a house and you need a loan... but you don't want to bother the loan officer at the bank, so you just continue renting that dumpy apartment for the rest of your life. You want to become an engineer and you need a college degree... but you don't want to bother the professors at the university, so you just continue wrangling carts for your local grocery store the rest of your life. Ridiculous, right? How about this one... You want to have more energy, less pain, and overall be a healthier person and you need someone to help you cut through the noise around food and health related topics so you can eat and do what will really help your own personal body... but you don't want to bother me with your concerns, so you just continue to drag through every day, take another pain killer, and try one fad diet after another for the rest of your life. ALSO RIDICULOUS! The garden center worker is there for the express purpose of helping you choose the right plants so you can have a beautiful yard! The loan officer is there for the express purpose of helping you get a loan so you can buy a home for your family to grow in and enjoy! The professor is there for the express purpose of teaching you so you can get a degree and pursue the career of your dreams! And I am here for the express purpose of helping you overcome your health challenges so you can have Wellness for Life! When you utilize the services of a professional and tap into their expertise, it isn't bothering them! It's giving them opportunity to use the skills they themselves have sought to learn. It's validating the importance of the services they provide. It's allowing them to help you do something meaningful. And it allows YOU to put more time, effort, and energy into the next best thing instead of the same old, same old. Have you ever thought about reaching out to me for some help with your health? Has the thought "I don't want to bother her with my problems" been keeping you from hitting reply to an email and asking me about how we can work together? Completely ridiculous. I've invested years into learning how to help people just like you pursue health through holistic nutrition and lifestyle strategies. I have and continue to invest $$$ in high-quality educational opportunities and resources to support and serve people just like you. And before all this, I spent years and shed many tears trying to figure out - ON MY OWN - how to help my son overcome his chronic pain and digestive chaos. Once I saw the reality that food and nutrition could completely change his life, it lit a fire under me to make sure YOU know about that hope AND that you don't have to do it alone. I'm ready and able to help you find the same hope and healing. You're not bothering me by asking for help. You're redeeming those years and tears of frustrating trails and errors with my son's health. You're validating that the time and $$$ spent on my education has not been for nothing. You're giving me an opportunity to help you cultivate health that will serve you (and those around you) for decades. If health challenges are draining your time, your physical/mental/emotional energy, or your ability to have hope for a future of health, I can help you experience a different reality. Let me help you build a firm foundation of wellness from which you can live, work, play, serve, and dream in ways you never thought possible. I'm just a 'reply' away. Let's have a conversation.

It's a NEW DAY, Reader! You may have noticed I've been talking a lot about digestion lately. As a practitioner who sees people as WHOLE, not just organs, systems, and symptoms, I think about digestion quite differently than many other health professionals We have medical specialists who focus only on the digestive system - gastroenterologists - and some of them even get more specialized and focus on just one area of that system. When we need a surgeon, these are the people we want holding the...
It's a NEW DAY, Reader! You are what you eat. We've all heard that phrase... but is it true? In some ways, yes, because our bodies get their building blocks from the food we eat. Amino acids from protein, fatty acids from fats, vitamins, and minerals are all part of our physical structure. Bones, muscles, brain, heart, blood, all of it - made of and made by nutrients. Even our nerve impulses are mineral-dependent! But in other ways, it is not true. For one, there are some things in our bodies...
It's a NEW DAY, Reader! A dear friend and fellow subscriber wrote me an email a couple weeks ago and mentioned that her little ones (ages 1 and 5) were under the weather. She had gone to the store and bought them all the regular foods and beverages you give sick kids. Then she realized that most of that stuff was actually junk food, full of sugar and void of any real nutrition 😨 Smart mama! She then asked me what kinds of foods I would recommend for sick kids... which I thought was a perfect...
