{ } Most women I support are getting way more omega-6 than omega-3. That imbalance can leave our bodies feeling irritated, inflamed, and just not firing on all cylinders.

EPA is one of the omega-3s our bodies use for:
• Everyday cellular resilience‡
• Brain and mood support pathways‡
• Healthy heart + skin structure‡
• Natural balance in immune and inflammatory processes‡

EPA Ultimate is a high-purity, super-concentrated source that’s processed without harsh solvents and with low oxidation. Translation: cleaner oil. Fewer off flavors. More confidence in what you’re taking.

This is one I personally reach for because nourishment matters in the small things too.

Take with food. Consistency = results.

Curious if omega-3s should be part of your daily routine? Message me and we’ll look at your bigger picture together.

If I could give you one piece of T1D advice for Thanksgiving, it’s this: don’t slip into a scarcity mindset. Yes, the table is full… but you don’t need to eat like these foods only show up once a year. You can have apple pie or pumpkin any day you want—seasonal eating is officially debunked.

So instead of chasing the food, lead with your strategy.
Start with protein and fiber, take your time, pre-bolus as best you can, and let your nervous system stay steady. That calm will do more for your glucose curve than anything on your plate.

And a heartfelt thank you: I’m grateful for the chance to share my lived T1D experience and functional strategies with you. Your questions, engagement, and curiosity make this community stronger and more supported. I’m honored to be part of it.

Wishing you a steady, grounded, nourishing Thanksgiving.

Most people get labs drawn… yet so many important markers are completely missed. And that’s often where the real answers live.

Every lab tells a story—especially when you pair the numbers with how you actually feel. Fatigue, stubborn highs, gut issues, anxiety, changes in sleep or hunger… your labs often confirm the patterns your body has been whispering for months.

This is the power of functional care. We look beyond “normal ranges,” connect the dots, and help you understand what’s driving your symptoms so you can make changes that actually stick. You deserve clarity, not guesswork.

If you want weekly nutrition advice, guidance you can apply right away, and early access to upcoming programs, join my Sunday with Kelly newsletter. The link is in my IG profile.

Most people with T1D are never told how much micronutrients matter for glucose control. These four make a surprising difference:

Magnesium – Supports insulin sensitivity, muscle function, and nervous system calm.
Chromium – Helps insulin work more efficiently and steadies post-meal swings.
Zinc – Critical for immune health, wound healing, and proper insulin storage.
Vitamin D – A hormone that improves inflammation, insulin resistance, and overall glucose stability.

The truth? These details are rarely taught in a standard endocrinology visit. Working with smart practitioners is helpful, but working with someone who actually understands the day-to-day of T1D is game-changing.

I have a new group program brewing for 2026—built for those who want deeper support and real results. Be the first to know by joining my Sunday newsletter. Link is in my IG profile, or DM me your email and I’ll add you.

Today marks my 34th year living with type 1 diabetes — and it also happens to be my birthday. I wouldn’t wish this disease on anyone, but I am profoundly grateful for the way it’s shaped me. T1D has pushed me to grow, to advocate for myself, and ultimately to serve this community with everything I’ve got.

Every day I’m driven by the same thought: if I can make life a little clearer, a little healthier, or a little easier for someone living with T1D, then this journey has meaning.

If you live with T1D (or love someone who does), I’d love to hear: what’s one thing this disease has taught you?

Year-end labs only help if the results are accurate. Supplements like biotin can throw things off fast — which is why understanding the full terrain matters.

As a functional medicine dietitian, I’m trained to read labs through the lens of real life: gut health, hormones, inflammation, iron, B12, lipids, and A1Cs. Not medical advice — just practical, evidence-based insight to get you clearer answers and faster results.

If you want support prepping for labs or making sense of your numbers, I’m here for that work.
