How often do you say “I should”?
“I should eat better.”
“I should take care of myself.”
“I should book that appointment.”

But “should” usually means:

You want to, but you’re not giving yourself permission yet.

This month, try trading “I should” for “I can.”

🌿 You can take one small step.

🌿 You can use your extended benefits to finally start.

🌿 You can choose progress over pressure.

End the year with action, not guilt.

✨ There are still a few appointments available before year-end.

✍️DM me or book directly through the link in my bio.

I look forward to helping you feel grounded, supported, and successful in your health goals 🌿

I have never really thought about the saying…“Fake it till you make it”. This week someone said to me,
“You have to fake sleep before you fall asleep.”

That’s when it clicked.

Your nervous system learns through imitation.

When you breathe slower, soften your muscles, and imagine safety, your body starts to believe it.
You’re not tricking yourself, you’re guiding your physiology toward a new state.

💤 Fake calm → feel calm.
❤️ Fake confidence → embody confidence.

This isn’t pretending. It’s embodying the state you want to reach.

✨ You’re not faking…you’re practicing becoming.

It’s not always just about calories.

You’re eating clean, hitting the gym…
but the scale won’t budge. 😩

Maybe it’s not the carbs, it’s the reaction.

Chronic exposure to foods your body doesn’t tolerate well, even “healthy” ones, can create low-grade inflammation, stress hormones, and water retention that make it harder to lose weight.

When your immune system is constantly reacting to something on your plate, it can affect:

🔹 metabolism
🔹 gut health and microbiome balance
🔹 insulin and cortisol regulation
🔹 energy and cravings

Sometimes, the issue isn’t how much you’re eating… it’s what your body is fighting off every day.

Weekend reminder: your body isn’t “broken.” It’s just communicating.

It’s not always about discipline, sometimes it’s about inflammation.

Ever notice a label that says “chicken bone broth” or “spice blend” and wondered what’s actually in there?

Under Canada’s Food & Drug Regulations (Section B.01.009), manufacturers can skip listing the ingredients of ingredients in some cases.

That means if a company makes a broth, sauce, or seasoning blend first, then uses it in another product, they can list it by its common name only, like “chicken bone broth.”

🔍 Unless those hidden ingredients contain a priority allergen, gluten, or sulphite, they don’t have to be revealed.

Translation: your label might not tell the whole story.

💡 Legal? ✅
Transparent? 🤔 Not so much.

I’m a mom to a child with food allergies and sensitivities, including nuts and seeds.

One of my food labeling pet peeves is vegetable oil.

In Canada, when a label says “vegetable oil,” it can actually include a blend of different oils, like canola, soybean, sunflower, safflower, corn, palm, or coconut oil.

Manufacturers don’t have to specify which ones unless the oil comes from a priority allergen (like peanut, sesame, or mustard).

So that innocent-sounding “vegetable oil” might actually be a mix of seed oils, and you’d never know from the label.

Food and label transparency isn’t always required…but it’s always worth asking for.

“Tired but wired.”

You drag yourself through the day…then your brain decides it’s party time the moment your head hits the pillow.

That’s your stress hormones talking, especially cortisol, which should rise in the morning and fall gently at night.

When that rhythm flips, you feel like you’re running on empty and adrenaline at the same time.

That’s why I love 4-point cortisol testing. It measures your cortisol levels at four different times in the day, showing where your stress curve is off track.

Once you see the pattern, you can start to support it, with sleep, nutrition, supplements and small daily rhythm resets.

If this sounds like you, tell me:
When do you feel most wired: morning, afternoon, or bedtime? 👇

“And she powered through.”
We’ve all had that moment.

But what if we stopped making burnout the baseline?

What if supporting your body became the new normal, and not the luxury?

Here’s your gentle reminder:

🩷You don’t have to earn rest.

🩷You deserve it, right now.

Let’s start rewriting what “strong” looks like.

What’s one time you powered through when your body was asking for rest? 💛
(Let’s remind each other we don’t have to do it alone.)

Tonight ‘Daylight Savings’ comes to an end, and we turn clocks back 1-hour.

This week you will likely feel off as your body’s internal clock is confused. ⏰

When Daylight Savings ends, we technically gain an hour of sleep, but our circadian rhythm takes several days to adjust.

Even small shifts can mess with:
🩸 blood pressure and heart rate
💤 sleep quality
💢 mood and focus

Here’s how to get back in sync:
🌞 Get 10–15 minutes of sunlight on your skin within an hour of waking
🍽 Keep meal times consistent
☕ Limit caffeine after noon
😴 Stick to your usual bedtime

Your body runs on rhythm, not clocks.
Give it a few days to find its flow again.

The Unsung Hero: Progesterone

If estrogen is the spark, progesterone is the calm that follows.

This powerful hormone rises after ovulation, bringing balance, better sleep, and that grounded, content feeling many women miss.

When progesterone is low, you might have:
💤 Trouble sleeping
😩 Anxiety or irritability
🩸 PMS or spotting before your period
🌙 Irregular cycles

Progesterone isn’t just a “fertility hormone”, it is your body’s built-in anti-stress and pro-calm support.

Support it naturally with:

• Enough protein + healthy fats
• Managing stress (cortisol steals progesterone!)
• Tracking your cycle to know when you ovulate

Your body wants to be in balance, sometimes it just needs a reminder.
Please reach out if you need help with any of the above symptoms.

When puberty and perimenopause move in together, nobody’s safe. 😅

One’s figuring out her hormones for the first time, the other’s renegotiating the contract.

It’s tears, laughter, cravings, and chaos, all powered by estrogen fluctuations.

Here’s to the multi-generational hormone households!

🫣 To the moms hiding in the pantry with dark chocolate.
🚪 To the teens slamming doors for no reason. and
🍫To the shared snacks, snuggles, and survival instincts holding it all together. 💕

Our bodies are cyclical, intuitive, and ever-changing, not meant to fit into systems designed around linear, masculine patterns.

Naturopathic medicine recognizes this! It meets women where they are, in each phase of life. Honouring the shifts women experience in puberty, fertility, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause.

What fuels us, heals us, and restores us will evolve as we do.

This week’s momentum: stop trying to fit into a model that was never built for you.
Instead, work with your rhythms. Listen. Adjust. Nourish.

🌿 Because naturopathic medicine honours your body’s design, and your body already knows the way.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a powerful, evidence-based tool for calming stress and anxiety.

It works by gently tapping on acupressure points while focusing on the emotion you want to release.

Research shows EFT can lower cortisol, improve sleep, and reduce anxiety in just minutes.

The best part? You can do it anywhere, with no equipment, no side effects, just calm.

💬 Have you ever tried tapping? What’s your go-to stress relief technique? 🩷
