We all have this inner child inside of us that would love nothing more than to spend the day playing, dancing and singing

I think its safe to say we all choreographed at least one dance/ song for our family at some point in our childhood

& im thinking about WHY we did that

It was pure, simple fun. An expression of creativity. Our alpha brain waves are being activated which bring a calm, fulfilled peace within us along for the ride

My spicy opinion? 🌶
The minute you stop playing is the minute you start dying.

You can have the "healthiest" diet in the world but if you suppress that inner child, that deep pleasure of PLAYING, you're going to remain stuck

Not all healing work has to be hard and painful. Remembering is play is healing too!

The more you play, the more FREE you are. In your body, in your soul, in your mind.

Functional nutrition is not only about the food youre putting into your body (although that is a large part). Its about engaging with your health from a HOLISTIC view.

So this is your encouragement to put on some music and pretend you're putting on a concert. Maybe twirl a stick around. Create a dance routine. Its good for you

That "grind harder" mentality? It's making you sick

We're out here running on fumes, skipping meals, crushing HIIT workouts daily, and wondering why we feel like garbage the week before our period.

Here's what nobody's telling you: Your ovulation high isn't meant to last all month. When you try to maintain that same intensity through your luteal phase, you're actively suppressing progesterone - the hormone that's supposed to calm your nervous system and prep your body for either pregnancy or a healthy period.

Instead we get:

Estrogen dominance (hello painful periods, PMS rage, and bloating)
Cortisol through the roof
Blood sugar chaos
That fun "wired but tired" feeling

The guilt you feel for not exercising yourself into the ground? That's diet culture gaslighting, not your intuition.

Stop letting diet culture convince you that honoring your cycle is "being lazy."

Your body isn't asking for permission to rest. It's TELLING you through symptoms that something's gotta give.

The luteal phase is literally your body's way of saying SLOOOOW DOWN! honor it.

Because that descent into the "underworld" before your period? That's not weakness. Its a deep sacred place we get to experience as women.

Youre not getting the transformation you want because nobody taught you how to get the transformation you want.

Listen, I'm all for enjoying life but if you're wondering why you're exhausted and bloated 24/7, get curious as to what you're actually feeding your body.

That venti sugar bomb and pizza aren't giving you ANYTHING your cells can actually use. Zero vitamins. Zero minerals. Zero quality protein. Just sugar and inflammatory oils having a party in your gut.

And honestly, it's not your fault. The amount of sugar in the starbucks drinks is literally insane. If you saw all the sugar in this cup & other chemicals that make you insulin resistant.. you would probably faint.

🍅 It's also not your fault that congress is stupid enough to declare the tomato sauce on a slice of pizza as a serving of vegetables 🍅

Your body is STARVING for real nutrients while you're stuffing it with empty calories. It's like putting water in your gas tank and wondering why your car won't run.

If you want energy.. you need your cells actual fuel - quality protein, healthy fats, and fiber.

If you want the bloat gone? Stop feeding the bad bacteria a sugar buffet every damn day

If youre exhausted & bloated... your body will thank you.

2015-2017: So bloated by dinner I'd unbutton my pants in the car. So tired I'd cancel plans just to lie on my couch. Periods so heavy and painful I couldn't stand up. A belly so hard and distended I looked pregnant. Planning my outfits around the fear that I would end up bloated. Confusion & frustration. Fear. What was happening in my body?

2017-2020: The messy middle. The underworld. Deep diving into research at 2am because I couldn't sleep anyway. Going back to school for functional nutrition. Experimenting on myself like a mad scientist. Feeding my gut. Regulating my nervous system. Becoming my own fu***ng detective because nobody else would.

2023-2024: Facing the emotional s**t I'd been stuffing down (literally and figuratively). Cycle syncing
Detoxing my liver. Fasting. Clearing, cleaning, cleansing.

2024: Dancing because I have energy at 9pm. Eating without fear. Waking up without needing 3 hours to feel human. Periods that come and go without ruining my week. Enjoyable, pain free s*x.

The difference? I stopped asking doctors for permission to heal and started listening to what my body was screaming at me.

I healed:

🌱 IBS and leaky gut (goodbye food fear, hello eating out with friends)
🌱 Chronic fatigue (I can workout, work, AND have a life now)
🌱 Uterine fibroids (no more bleeding during s*x, no more pain)
🌱 Period pain (from bed-ridden to barely noticing)

NOT WITH:

❌️ Another specialist who didn't listen
❌️ 47 supplements
❌️ Complicated and overwhelming protocols

But WITH:

✨️Understanding my gut-hormone connection
✨️Feeding my microbiome what it needed
✨️Addressing root causes (not symptoms)
✨️Blending science with spirituality and ancient wisdom
✨️Learning my body's language

I've got the biochem degree. The functional nutrition training. The lived experience. The messy healing journey. The formula that actually works.

And now I'm here to help YOU do it too.

If you're ready to go from "surviving" to THRIVING, comment "DANCE" and let's talk.

Your body's ready. Are you? 💃

have you ever gone to a "functional practitioner" who handed you a list of 15 supplements and was basically like "good luck, see you in 3 months"??

because i hear this ALL the time from new clients and honestly it drives me crazy

they come to me exhausted. not just physically exhausted but exhausted from:

- spending hundreds of dollars a month on supplements
- feeling like taking pills is a part time job
not seeing any actual results
- being confused about what they're even taking and why

your body recognizes food. REAL whole food. it knows what to do with an avocado, a sweet potato, some wild caught salmon. but synthetic supplements? your body is like "wait what is this"

don't get me wrong, sometimes supplements have their place. but they should never be the foundation. f
FOOD is the foundation

when i work with clients i teach them how to use food as medicine...how to eat in a way that actually supports their hormones, their energy, their gut health....not just throw a bunch of pills at the problem and hope something sticks.

want to actually feel alive again? have energy that lasts all day? watch belly fat melt away without restrictive dieting? have periods that don't make you want to curl up and die?

it starts with food. real food. and understanding how to work WITH your body instead of against it.

no 47 step morning supplement routine required
