✨ Healthy Habits ✨

The last 10 days of 2025 have me thinking about habits…which ones have been most helpful this year AND which ones I’d like to incorporate more in 2026 ☺️
Some recent favorite daily habits have been…

🌅 Walks outside (movement + fresh air to benefit mental and physical health)

🍎🥦 Quick & healthy high protein snacks/ meals (helps stabilize blood sugar, energy, and keep sugar cravings manageable)

🧘 Mindfulness moment each day (with or without essential oils- even a few minutes of stillness and slow breathing calms the nervous system)

Would LOVE to know- What are some of your current fave healthy habits?!

We were so thrilled to learn about this amazing local business and to have sat down with the talented owner!

You must check it out 💕

So we posted our peanut butter shake yesterday, only to come to the realization that we posted our peanut butter chocolate mousse cake like two posts ago, and thats all you have really seen...

We do love peanutbutter and chocolate, but not that much 😆

Actually, most of our shakes are herb and fruit-flavored combos. Like our Internal Peace shake, made for anti-stress and anxiety. Its flavor profile is strawberry lavender, and it includes:
- Lavender Buds
- American Ginseng
- Rhodiola Rosea
- Lemon Balm
- Ashwaganda
- Adaptagen Blend
- Strawberries
- Honey

If you don't even know what the heck some of those are, we got you! We will have binders with all the shakes / shake ingredients that explain each herb and the wonders they do for our magical bodies.

In conclusion...
We can definitely say these shakes do somethin'... we started the day with some stressful situations. Safe to say, after testing about 10 of these bad boys out, we were extremely extra chill for the rest of the afternoon 😎

Today my husband delivered at my work with flowers… and honestly, it meant more than I can explain.

In the middle of this chaotic season — 3 kids, the holidays, moving, schedules stacked on schedules — he still made the time to remind me I’m loved.

It wasn’t about the flowers (though they’re beautiful).

It was about the gesture.
The pause.
The “I see you.”
The “We’re in this together.”

Life feels loud right now, but moments like this bring me back to center. Grateful for a partner who chooses love in the middle of the mess, the rushing, and the overwhelm.

We may be in a whirlwind, but we’re still choosing each other. ❤️💐

I got a good one

✨ Supporting Women’s Hormones, Naturally ✨

One of my clients recently shared her journey, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside women as they reclaim their health.
So many women push through high-intensity workouts, restrict food, or follow “healthy” trends without realizing how much their hormones are impacted.

Functional medicine takes a different approach — one that honors the body, the cycle, and the root causes of symptoms.

This client came to me after being diagnosed with an ovarian cyst and endometriosis. Instead of settling for the limited options she was given, we did a full deep-dive into her health history, created a personalized nutrition plan, and built a routine that shifts throughout the month to support each phase of her cycle.

🌿 The result?
She experienced her first pain-free period in years, feels more connected to her body, and finally understands what her hormones need — without pushing herself to exhaustion.

If you’re looking for functional medicine in Appleton, WI that supports women’s health, hormones, and healing from the inside out, I’m here for you.

💛 Your body is designed to heal — sometimes it just needs the right support.

Martha, take a breath.” 💛

In Luke 10:38–42, Martha is “worried and distracted by many things.”

Sound familiar?

Always serving. Always doing. Always tired.
In functional medicine, we see this all the time — the “Martha pattern”:

✨ Constant go-go-go
✨ Feeling anxious or restless
✨ Trouble slowing down or sleeping
✨ Eventually… total burnout 😞

Sometimes, it’s not just spiritual.

👉 It’s physiological.

When the thyroid is out of balance — especially in women — it can show up as:

🌀 Anxiety, irritability, or racing thoughts (hyperthyroid)
💤 Fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, low mood (hypothyroid)

Martha’s story reminds us that Jesus didn’t shame her for working hard — He invited her to pause, rest, and reconnect.

🕊️ Your worth isn’t in your productivity.
Sometimes the most healing thing you can do — for your soul and your thyroid — is to stop striving and let your body catch its breath.

🩵 Functional Medicine Reflection

If you see yourself in Martha:

Get curious about your energy levels and stress patterns
Support your thyroid with nourishment (selenium, iodine, zinc, rest, prayer, stillness)

Remember: Healing is as much about being as it is about doing
