❤️ Uncomfortable truth: heart problems don’t usually start in the heart.

They start with things most people ignore:
• Chronic stress
• Blood sugar swings
• Inflammation
• Low mineral status
• Nervous system overload

Here’s the part no one tells you: You can have “normal” cholesterol and still have your heart under constant strain.

Why?

Because your heart responds to stress signals, not just lab numbers.

When the body stays in survival mode:
• Cortisol stays high
• Blood vessels stay tight
• Inflammation stays active
• The heart works harder — quietly

This builds slowly.

Silently.

For years.

Heart health isn’t about reacting later.

It’s about supporting the body now.

✨ Strong foundations first. Always.

❤️ Heart health isn’t just about food — it’s about stress signals.

One of the most overlooked contributors to heart strain is chronic, unregulated stress.

When stress stays high:
• Cortisol remains elevated
• Blood pressure regulation becomes harder
• Inflammation increases
• Blood sugar becomes less stable
• The heart works harder than it needs to

This isn’t a willpower issue. It’s a nervous system support issue.

Most families don’t realize how much daily stress is quietly impacting heart health until symptoms show up — fatigue, palpitations, poor sleep, anxiety, stubborn inflammation.

This is why I created my Stress Support Bundle inside the Get Healthy Store.

It’s designed to:
• Support cortisol balance
• Calm the nervous system
• Reduce inflammatory stress signals
• Support heart rhythm and resilience
• Help the body shift out of fight-or-flight
You don’t need to wait until stress turns into burnout or heart concerns to support it.

🛒 You can:
✔️ Grab the complete Stress Support Bundle for full foundational coverage
✔️ Or choose individual products if you’re just getting started

Either way, having the right tools on hand now makes a difference — especially during seasons of higher stress.

✨ Strong foundations first. Always.

👉 If stress has been running the show lately, this is your sign to support it — not push through it.

February reminder: eating with the season supports your health more than you think.

Seasonal produce isn’t just about what’s available — it’s about what your body tends to need right now.

In February, many seasonal foods are:
• Rich in minerals
• High in antioxidants
• Supportive of digestion and detox pathways
• Naturally anti-inflammatory

Some February seasonal staples include:
• Root vegetables (carrots, beets, turnips, sweet potatoes)
• Cruciferous veggies (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts)
• Winter squash
• Citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruit, lemons)
• Onions, garlic, and leeks
• Dark leafy greens (kale, chard, collards)

These foods support:
• Liver and detox function
• Blood sugar balance
• Gut health
• Immune resilience
• Heart health foundations

Eating seasonally doesn’t have to be complicated or perfect.

It can be as simple as building meals around what’s freshest and most available — especially during winter when the body benefits from grounding, nourishing foods.

✨ Strong foundations first. Always.

🔥 Inflammation is one of the most important markers I look at for heart health.

When we talk about heart health, inflammation often gets overlooked — but it’s one of the biggest drivers of cardiovascular strain.

Inflammation isn’t always loud. You can feel “fine” and still have underlying inflammatory patterns stressing the heart and blood vessels.

This is why I look at inflammation markers, not just cholesterol numbers.

Markers like hs-CRP help us understand:
• Ongoing immune activation
• Vascular inflammation
• How the body is responding to stress, food, and lifestyle
• Whether the heart is under silent strain

When inflammation stays elevated over time, it can:
• Disrupt blood sugar regulation
• Impact blood vessel health
• Increase cardiovascular workload
• Interfere with hormone signaling

And one of the biggest contributors I see?
👉 Dietary inflammation, especially from ultra-processed foods and poor-quality fats.

This is why real food matters. This is why fat quality matters. And this is why “normal labs” don’t always tell the full story.

I don’t just ask if a marker is in range —

I ask why it’s there and what the body needs next.

✨ Strong foundations first. Always.

💬 Have you ever had inflammation markers checked before?

❤️ Heart health starts in the kitchen — not the supplement aisle.

When we talk about supporting heart health, real food matters more than almost anything else.
One of the biggest shifts I encourage families to make is reducing ultra-processed fats, especially industrial seed oils, and returning to whole-food fat sources.

Why this matters for the heart:
• Highly processed oils can drive inflammation
• Inflammation increases cardiovascular strain
• Poor fat quality affects blood sugar, hormones, and cellular health
• The heart is especially sensitive to chronic inflammatory signals

This doesn’t mean fear or perfection. It means being intentional.

Supportive, heart-friendly fat sources include:
• Olive oil
• Avocado & avocado oil
• Butter or ghee
• Coconut oil
• Fats naturally found in whole foods

And focusing meals around:
• Real protein
• Whole-food carbohydrates
• Vegetables and mineral-rich foods
• Simple, recognizable ingredients

Heart health isn’t built by cutting calories or obsessing over cholesterol. It’s built by reducing inflammatory inputs and giving the body the raw materials it needs to function well.

✨ Strong foundations first. Always.

💬 Have you ever looked at the ingredient list on your cooking oils?

🧪 Testing Tuesday: What heart health labs actually tell us (and what they don’t).

When it comes to heart health, most people are told to watch:
• Total cholesterol
• LDL
• HDL

But those numbers alone don’t tell the full story — and they often miss why the heart is under strain.

At Strong Foundations Wellness, I look at heart health through a functional lens, focusing on patterns, not just single markers.

Key areas I evaluate:
🫀 Blood sugar & insulin markers – chronic blood sugar swings stress the heart
🫀 Inflammation markers – inflammation is a major driver of cardiovascular strain
🫀 Mineral status – magnesium, potassium, and sodium balance directly affect heart rhythm and blood pressure
🫀 Stress & cortisol patterns – chronic stress keeps the heart in “fight or flight”
🫀 Thyroid function – thyroid hormones regulate heart rate and cardiac output

Here’s the difference:
• “In range” tells us you’re not in immediate danger
• Optimal tells us how well your body is actually functioning

This is how we catch imbalances early — before symptoms become diagnoses.

Heart health isn’t about chasing numbers. It’s about understanding what your body is asking for and supporting it appropriately.

✨ Strong foundations first. Always.

❤️ February Focus: Heart Health starts with foundations.
When most people think about heart health, they think:
• Cholesterol numbers
• Blood pressure
• Family history

But heart health is built long before labs become a concern.

At Strong Foundations Wellness, I look at heart health as a whole-body conversation — not a single marker on a lab report.

Your heart is directly influenced by:
• Blood sugar balance
• Inflammation levels
• Mineral status (especially magnesium & potassium)
• Stress and nervous system regulation
• Gut health and detox pathways

When foundations are weak, the heart works harder than it needs to.

This month, we’ll be talking about:
🫀 How real food supports heart function
🫀 The role of stress and cortisol in heart health
🫀 What labs actually matter — and what “normal” can miss
🫀 How to support heart health before problems show up
Heart health isn’t just about prevention — it’s about resilience.

✨ Strong foundations first. Always.

🫙 The next step in building a strong home health foundation: an at-home immune apothecary.

Once families start focusing on real food, sleep, stress, and daily rhythms, the next question is usually:
“What should I actually have on hand at home?”

This is where an at-home apothecary comes in.
Not a cabinet full of random supplements —
but intentional, foundational immune support you understand how to use.

Inside my Get Healthy Store, I’ve put together immune support bundles designed to cover the most common needs I see in families:
• Daily immune resilience
• Seasonal illness support
• Recovery and healing support
• Kid-friendly options

You can choose what works best for you:
✔️ Purchase a complete immune bundle for simplicity
✔️ Or pick and choose individual products to build your apothecary over time

This allows you to:
• Support immune function early
• Respond quickly when symptoms start
• Reduce panic buying when illness hits
• Feel confident supporting your family at home

This isn’t about doing everything. It’s about having the right tools, at the right time, in your home.

✨ Strong foundations first — then build from there.

You can explore the immune bundles (or individual products) in my Get Healthy Store and start building your family apothecary in a way that makes sense for you.

❌ People collecting free info with no intention of following through

This IS for:
✔️ Adults ready to support hormones & metabolism
✔️ Parents building healthier homes
✔️ People who want structure, guidance, and consistency
✔️ Those ready to stop starting over

You are not behind.

You can start today, tomorrow, or move at your own pace — the group stays open so you can actually apply what you learn.

👉 Join the Reset if you’re ready to commit
👉 Grab supplements if needed (you can start anytime)
👉 Decide today to do something different for your health

This is your starting point.

Not perfection — just commitment.

✨ Friendly reminder: our 10-Day Reset officially starts tomorrow.

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines thinking:
“I missed it.”
“I’m behind.”
“I don’t have everything yet.”

You haven’t missed your window.

The 10-Day Reset begins tomorrow, but the group remains open and accessible — so you can still join, order supplements, and start the reset on your timeline with full access to everything inside.

This reset isn’t about perfection or rigid rules.

It’s about:
• Resetting foundations
• Calming inflammation and stress
• Supporting digestion and metabolism
• Creating momentum you can actually sustain
If tomorrow isn’t your perfect start day, that’s okay.

The support, education, and structure are there when you are ready.

✨ Strong foundations first. Always.
