As always… just because something is common does

As always… just because something is common does NOT mean it is normal.
Unfortunately most Women struggle with one of these issues listed and get completely blown off by their physicians because they simply do not always have the answers.
It should be normalized to address toxic burden, nutrition, mindset, lifestyle choices, stress management, addressing stored emotions & trauma that is impacting the body, endocrine disrupters, basic free medicine such as sunshine, grounding, sleep etc.
Where do I suggest most of my clients to begin?
A full @cbhenergetics can be AMAZING at showing an overview of where the body is struggling from an energetic stance (I mean everything is energy, including us)
Along with functional blood chemistry which can show patterns and red flags 🚩 that may indicate where the body is struggling and needs support.
DUTCH tests can also be helpful to see an overview of hormones.

Considering water makes up 55-60% of our body mass

Considering water makes up 55-60% of our body mass, it’s a pretty critical component to our overall health 💦

This is the first issue I see clients struggle with and continue to struggle with. It’s easy to forget to drink enough water or become bored with the taste of it. Having a clean source of water is first and foremost important - depending where it’s sourced from it can be filled with lead, arsenic, PFAS (forever chemicals) chloroform, fluoride and so much more!
So of course if we are ingesting these nasty chemicals in our water it’s only further dehydrating us along with adding a slew of more health issues.

Other tips:
- add a pinch of high quality salt to your water to help with absorption and electrolytes
- don’t chug water all at once, instead sip throughout the day
- begin aiming at 60-80 oz of water daily during detox it’s better to aim for 75% of body weight in water to help flush toxins
- add electrolytes and minerals to support hydration and mineral status
- make sure to add in water when drinking caffeinated beverages since these further dehydrate

It can be EXTREMELY overwhelming when knowing where to begin when it comes to making healthier and safer swaps while also keeping an eye on the budget.

Thankfully, the Environmental Working Group creates a yearly shopping guide to help consumers know where to invest their money when it comes to food in grocery stores!

Of course, the best case scenario is to shop through local farmers but depending on location this may be hard to get all of your needs when it comes to grocery items.

"The Shopper’s Guide™ represents EWG’s analysis of the latest fruit and vegetable testing data from the Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration. The 2023 guide includes data from 46,569 samples of 46 fruits and vegetables." - https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/full-list.php

Save this list so you can refer back to it when needed to make your hard earned $ go even further!

Nutritional Therapy focuses on nutrients > calorie

Nutritional Therapy focuses on nutrients > calories 🌱

Learning the basics of Macronutrients has helped myself and my clients learn how to truly eat to NOURISH their bodies.

We need nutrients to function optimally - not calories specifically. Food should be viewed as a form of medicine not a stressor!

My tips as an NTP:
- variety is key, aim for 5 different colors on your plate
- shop local through your farmers
- shop seasonal based on where you live
- source quality; organic, grass fed, pasture raised, humanely raised etc

Every person is going to be different on their needs when it comes to nutrition. Stop guessing and comparing yourself to others! Instead work 1:1 with a practitioner who can support you on this journey of nourishment and feeling your absolute best!

I’m still on my own healing journey and I think

I’m still on my own healing journey and I think it’s important to continue to share my own experience and what I’ve learned along the way…

Trauma and grief are what led me to chronic illness - it was the straw that broke the camels back. All it took was event to flip my world upside down.

I know so many others can relate as this has been the same journey they’ve been on. There is no magic pill to make all the pain go away unfortunately… but you DO have hope.

Here is your reminder your daily choices DO add up when it comes to your health - and when you do have a stressful circumstance it matters the foundation your health has been built on to heal.

🌙 Sleep issues are a consistent pattern I see in clients and something I’ve also struggled with myself!

😴 There are many factors that contribute to having poor sleep quality, insomnia, inability to fall/stay asleep etc.

As always, there’s always a root cause (or many) at play that need to be addressed. This can be simple lifestyle changes to really digging deep.

Sleep is critical for our health including detoxification and recovery. If we are not sleeping it’s only creating further stress in our body (as if we don’t have enough already)

I have listed a few of my favorite supports on top of some IMPORTANT steps to check off first when it comes to having a healthy bed time routine- you cannot out supplement a poor bed time routine!

Continuing the conversation of preconception prep

Continuing the conversation of preconception prep and what it may entail - this is the outline I’ve walked myself as I’m on this journey but also the same I use for my 1:1 clients in my Root Cause to Nourishment program! ✨

I know how overwhelming it can be to know where to even begin, what supports may be needed along with a bio-individual approach based on YOUR specific needs! 👏🏻

Women need to feel empowered on this journey into Motherhood as we’ve lost touch with really preparing our bodies even with basic nourishment along with the fact we live in a much more toxic world than even our Mothers and Grandmothers lived in. 🥺

If this is a journey you’re walking, about to walk or even plan to walk a few years from now it’s NEVER too late to begin taking control of your fertility 🌱

Feel free to apply for more info on working 1:1 with me in the link in my bio, I would be honored to walk this journey with you 💜

I am forever grateful for my Husband who has been by my side through my chronic illness journey.. and never complains 🥺
To have a partner who is there for you no matter what - through sickness and in health is truly the ultimate blessing. We have been through some major lows and major highs, always becoming stronger and closer out of it.
Of course I still work through feelings of guilt because I haven’t always been the best version of myself through this journey and he deserves the best. ❤️
He had been so patient, loving, supporting, caring and has always went above and beyond for me & our marriage.
If there is one thing I try to do my best at is pray over him nightly 🙏🏻❤️ I thank God for putting him in my life, I feel beyond blessed. 🥺

Things to ditch & incorporate when it comes to preconception support🤰

✨Making these changes at least a year before planning to conceive would be best to really give the body time to heal and also bring back nourishment

✨the less stressors in your & your man’s life, the better your overall health, fertility and chances of healthy implantation & pregnancy will be.

✨most Women (and Men) are depleted of vital nutrients for their own body to function along with having enough for a healthy baby

✨we are inundated by stressors from our jobs, day-to-day, toxicity, lack of sleep and so much more.

The benefits of Ganoderma lucidum (aka Reishi) are

The benefits of Ganoderma lucidum (aka Reishi) are pretty incredible. There are no known contraindications or toxicity levels, and there are thousands of pub med studies noting the documented benefits of Reishi. 🍄

My favorite way to incorporate Reishi is with Organo products as I've continuously shared with you guys. Organo has a patent-protected process to harvest the most potent part of the mushroom - the spores. They are the only North American
company that has partnered with the largest certified organic Ganoderma plantation, growing their mushrooms in the mountains of Asia.

If you’re interested in trying some Reishi head to the link in my bio for more info on Organo products! 🍄

Also supposed to say leaky GUT not leaky guy Lmao 🤣

I've listed just a few benefits of incorporating Reishi but as always not medical advice.

When deciding to come off birth control, it may be

When deciding to come off birth control, it may be overwhelming as to where to begin with supporting your body from the side effects of using oral contraceptives.

Knowing where you may be depleted is important as different Rx medications can rob you of vital nutrients that are needed for basic bodily functions but also pregnancy.

Hopefully, this gives some insight and empowerment if this is your current journey.

A subject not many couples are comfortable talking

A subject not many couples are comfortable talking about but needs to have more awareness..
After getting married in 2018, my Husband and I tried for two years to get pregnant with zero luck. Our options were IUI and IVF, which for me didn’t sit right personally. I knew I was also dealing with a ton of symptoms that were making my quality of life less than idea for not even being 30 years old… including hormonal imbalances. I’ve always had a more “natural” mindset when it comes to health and wellness but after trying to DIY things myself with random diets, hormone balancing herbs and so on - I realized it was time to ask for help!  This is when I found a Root Cause practitioner - her mindset was completely new to me on figuring out the underlying reasons for our signs and symptoms vs bandaiding them. It all made sense to me but also seemed a little “woo-woo” at the time. I was desperate to feel better after getting zero answers or guidance from multiple different doctors. This is what led me to becoming a root cause practitioner myself! Focusing on nutrient dense REAL foods, finding out what deficiencies I needed to support along with the big kicker •minimizing my TOXIC bucket• yep, detox… but not in the sense of juicing, fasting or crazy diets.  This was addressing chemicals, mold toxicity, hidden infections such as Lyme, parasites, bacteria, viruses, fungus, drainage that were impacting my body to do its basic functions! These toxins created inflammation in my body along with blockages in my liver and gallbladder which are ESSENTIAL for hormone health & fertility!  Both my husband and I have made complete changes in our lives to become healthy from leaving our stressful jobs traveling, selling our house and moving outside the city, detoxing following the root cause roadmap and implementing real foods!  I have SO much hope for our bodies to heal and in the future we will absolutely become pregnant (when we are ready!)❤️ This has also led me to the path of becoming a certified NTP & IHP to support other Women & couples on their journey to healing from infertility!

Here are just a *few* of my favorite preconception

Here are just a *few* of my favorite preconception foundational supports! Of , this is not a recommendation to go out and purchase all of these supplements - but I do recommend doing your own research and working with your own practitioner on preconception supports!

I've been on this journey myself along with supporting clients and there is a HUGE gap when it comes to preconception planning. A prenatal alone does not cut it - I recommend digging way deeper beforehand, addressing toxic burdens along with nourishing the body.

Some of these supplements are not only for those planning on having a baby but also can be foundational supports for many others!

Most of these supplements are available in my Fullscript or DSS link in my bio

As always *not medical advice, please consult your physician before implementing a new diet, supplement, herbs etc*

Cycle Syncing ✨ Understanding your cycle and whe

Cycle Syncing ✨
Understanding your cycle and where you are currently at in your cycle can give you the upper hand to plan ahead and know when to step back based on which phase you are in.
This should be common knowledge for Women as we do NOT run on a 24 hr cycle like Men - yet society is built around that.
Women are consistently trying to “hustle” like Men, even though we are not built like them. Instead of being frustrated with our cycle, learning how to take advantage of where we’re at can set us up for more success and support you’re body with what it needs.

As I’ve been on this journey of holistic preconception planning myself I knew this was an important topic I wanted to cover to give more clarity as to why addressing root causes is so important before pregnancy.
As always, this is for educational purposes only and not meant to shame those who did not walk this path or plan to. To each their own.
There is a delicate balance when it comes to our bodies and unfortunately as I’ve shared many times we are constantly inundated with toxins along with becoming more susceptible to toxins & pathogens by being at a low vibration when it comes to our mental, emotional and spiritual health.
We have lost touch with so many of the basics of health including something as simple as healthy digestion practices to make sure we’re in a parasympathetic state when we are eating our food! This helps our body release digestive enzymes and keep stomach acid at a healthy level to be the first line of defense when it comes to things such as parasites.
Instead, most of us are multitasking and rushing while eating something either processed or take out, not setting us up for the best digestion.

And no… you do not need to travel to a third world country to get parasites (please refer to other posts on my page!)

Of course this is not a blanket statement when it comes to anemia and this can look different for each and every person - this is just one piece!
But I think it’s an important one to “check off” with your practitioner before conception considering the rate of infertility and how crucial iron levels are during pregnancy.

Speaking from experience here 👋 My husband and

Speaking from experience here 👋
My husband and I spent two years struggling with infertility - meanwhile I had all the signs and symptoms that carrying a baby was the LAST thing my body was going to be able to handle.
After years of stress, skipping meals, lots of alcohol in college, toxic makeup and beauty products, living in moldy rentals, bath and body works candles, plastic bottles.. the list goes ON my body was accumulating all sorts of toxins from exposures.
Not to mention my drainage pathways were not open- meaning my bodies natural process to detox was blocked! This showed up as constipation, acne, itchy skin, bloating, anxiety and depression, you name it.

“Cleaning up the dust” before having a baby should be a norm- but it’s not. Along with learning how to properly nourish the body with foods, minerals, vitamins, sleep, exercise, herbs!

If infertility has been a struggle for you it’s time to dig DEEPER at what is getting in the way of what your body was truly made to do!

PSA: time to reframe your mindset when it comes to HEALTH (especially for Women!)

I often see clients focusing on goals of "weight loss" or having their body composition be a certain way. As much as I totally understand that as someone who's also struggled with their weight, it's SO much deeper!

It has been normalized to focus on the number on the scale or clothing size as a measure of "health and happiness"- instead of how we FEEL internally along with signs + symptoms when most Women are struggling with a laundry list of symptoms

We really need to take a step back when it comes to weight loss and figure out the reasons weight loss is our main goal of health.

Will it bring us happiness? Will it fix all of our problems? Will people treat us differently? Will we become more successful?

As much as body composition does matter when it comes to health we shouldn't solely focus on what the scale says when it comes to our health. This goes both ways - being under and overweight. Dig DEEPER with your health!

Every once in a while we need to check in with ourselves especially when we’re struggling to write down a list of what we’re doing to help ourselves (acknowledging our efforts) and what we are also doing that’s maybe hurting ourselves (where we can do better and grow)

Sometimes it’s hard to be real with ourselves and also not take it to an extreme level of punishing ourselves especially when it comes to health choices.

So many of us think if we make ONE mistake that completely sets us back in our goals and progress when that’s not the case at all!

Growth happens learning from our mistakes and choosing to do better along with making those steps to improve our health!
