The past week I’ve been sharing about glucose awareness & the challenge coming up on 11/11. I know many of you have habits & rituals in place that contribute to your well being. I do as well, but in the past year I’ve shifted some of them. What I didn’t know was that some of the habits I had put in place were actually contributing to my glucose instability.

Last December I wore a continuous glucose monitor through the busy season & learned a ton about how my lifestyle was helping & hurting my glucose levels.

As some of you know, weight gain or the inability to lose weight, in many cases, is hormonal. If our habits & rituals are contributing to hormone instability (even so-called healthy habits), then we are actually hurting ourselves in the long run. And just as disappointing, all of the time & care we are putting in does not have the ROO we work so hard for. Using a CGM gives us real-time feedback on what we consume, how we live, how we manage stress & more so we can be SURE what we’re doing is promoting HEALTH SPAN or make the changes needed to optimize.  

I had my labs drawn recently & found out that since my first time wearing a CGM, my A1C is down .3% with some very simple shifts. The more optimal our A1C is, the more it can be used as an anti-aging tool with benefits like: preventing long-term health complications, energy levels, mood, mental well-being, focus, concentration, weight management & cravings.

Doors close tomorrow for the:
The Glucose Awareness Challenge 11/24-12/7 a guided experience using CGMs to help you understand how your body responds to food, stress & sleep.

What to expect: 
-Monitored facebook group for community, accountability & guidance
-Suggested nutrition plan
-Onboarding & activation of the app for continuous, real-time monitoring of glucose
-1 CGM (14 days) with the opportunity to purchase more

Please fill out my survey in the bio to make sure the program fits your goals and comment or respond with any questions. Must be signed up & paid by 11/11 to receive CGM in time to begin. 

It’s understandable if now is not the time to invest in a CGM or the challenge. I hope you found value in the free tools & insights.

Weight gain is hormonal and the more time we spend with our hormones in check, the more we’re able to maintain or even lose weight, even during the most busy times of the year. The average person gains 1-5 pounds during the holiday season and spends the rest of the year trying to get it off. This can compound year after year and get us to a place that can be challenging to come back from.

Hi Friends,

It’s hard to believe it’s November. When I was a kid my dad used to say: the older you get, the quicker time passes. And now I totally get it. Mindful & joyful moments are the stick in the spoke that slows things down & allows us to give & receive nourishing energy, even during challenging times.

The world feels especially heavy right now- with the government shutdown and the ripple effects it’s having on so many families, I want to acknowledge that any extras can feel like a luxury.

Caring for ourselves in any way we can is still vital & and a way to keep our minds and bodies connected. Stress, disrupted routines, and uncertainty can take a toll on our blood sugar, energy, and hormones.

That’s why I’m inviting those who are ready to join me in:
The Glucose Awareness Challenge 11/24-12/7 a guided experience using Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) to help you understand how your body responds to food, stress & sleep.

Last December I wore a CGM for a very busy & eventful 2 weeks and learned a TON. I learned how my stress, sleep and what I ate affected my glucose levels...and in turn, how to keep my glucose LEVEL. It almost became a game of how to keep my glucose in check by being as mindful as possible about nutrition, sleep hygiene and stress management amidst the chaos. Wearable accountability with real-time feedback.

What you can expect:
-1 CGM (14 days) with the opportunity to purchase more
-Onboarding and activation of app for continuous, real-time monitoring
-Suggested nutrition plan
-Monitored facebook group for guidance community & accountability.

If this sounds like a motivating addition to help keep you grounded and in-check

It’s understandable if now is not the time to invest in a CGM. I’ll also be sharing free tools and insights so everyone can learn how to support steady energy, better mood, and long-term hormone health- no matter where they’re starting from.

Tea drinkers, future tea drinkers, friends interested in small things that can make a big health impact:

Have you read about or watched the documentary on Blue Zones? Fascinating research on the areas in the world where there is the most longevity due to diet, activity, social factors, and purposeful living.

All of the factors creating longevity are notable & worthwhile to consider, but the one that has been enjoying lately is tea.

Tea is a recurring dietary habit in several Blue Zones (Ikaria and Okinawa). Specifically herbs & tea local to the area, taken regularly. The great thing about herbs, is they are affordable to grow & some can be foraged in your own backyard! They can be used fresh, steeped in hot water. Alternatively, for long term use and storage, they can be roasted/dried to enjoy all year round with the same preparation.

The research: Herbal teas are rich in polyphenols & other bioactive molecules that can reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, support digestion, have mild diuretic/antimicrobial effects, and contribute to hydration and ritual (which matters for stress reduction). These are likely contributors to long-term health.

Pictured are herbs grown or foraged in my backyard & their benefits. The herbs I use change with what is available & what’s in season. The ones pictured is what I was able to grab today, besides for the white clover which was harvested and dried in early summer. Some other favorites are sage, lemon balm, rosemary.

Do you have a tea ritual? If so, what are your go-to herbs? Are you interested in a tea ritual? What herb has your attention?

As a cancer ♋️ , I feel my best when water is near and the sights and sounds of nature are around me. When paddle boarding started to get popular over a decade ago, I got certified to lead tours and teach SUP yoga. Paddle boarding started out as a fun pass time, but it became a way to heal & exhale.

The canals of Jefferson Chalmers are a perfect mix of enormous weeping willows, lilly pads, gorgeous perennial gardens, beautiful structures, bridges and fauna. It’s a peaceful pocket, a quick getaway from the sounds of the city and respite from the day to day. I feel more than grateful to be able to take groups out here via .

Friday, August 1: Paddle Tour Through the Canals 6-7:30pm
