Ever heard of Gotu Kola? No, it's not related to that famous soda! It's actually an amazing herb that's been used for centuries to support our bodies in some pretty cool ways.

Standard Process Inc. Gotu Kola 1:1 contains leaf extract traditionally used for healthy skin, capillaries, and circulation. It's standardized to contain 18 mg/mL of triterpenes (the good stuff) to ensure you're getting optimal strength and quality.

What can it help with?

→ Promoting healthy tissue function

When you hire a nutritionist, you probably think you're getting a food plan and some weigh-ins, right? But there's SO much more to it.

What if I told you we need to heal your mental, emotional, spiritual, and psychic body—not just count calories?

Weight issues are rarely just about food. They're about finding YOUR bio individuality and understanding WHY your body is holding onto weight in the first place.

This is why my sessions go deeper. We look at the full picture of YOU. Not some generic meal plan that worked for someone else.

And honestly? That's the real magic. When someone's ready to embrace their unique health journey (messy parts included), the results are kind of incredible.

Ever wonder why some people seem to glide through cold and flu season unscathed? I get asked ALL the time about my secret for not getting sick (especially this time of year).

My not-so-secret formula is actually pretty simple:

→ Standard Process Inc. Echinacea Premium (absolute game-changer)
→ Nourishing food that supports your whole system
→ A mindset shift around health
→ Consistent healthy habits
→ Being super intentional about what you consume

Let's talk about that first one. Echinacea Premium combines two specific types of echinacea to create the perfect formula for immune support. Even when you feel that dreaded tickle starting in your throat, this stuff works FAST.

The best part? It actually supports your liver instead of taxing it like some other remedies.

And please, don't "diet" to stay healthy. Eat intentionally to nourish your body. Being aware of what you consume (food, media, relationships, environments) creates a natural shield against all kinds of negative influences.

One of my clients, Karen, shared: "The echinacea was expensive but worth every penny. By the next morning, my swollen lymphs were gone or greatly diminished. The fatigue cleared up and I could breathe again. That's ridiculously fast!"

Sometimes what you really need is a complete reset. If you've tried everything and still don't feel your best, let's chat about the 21-Day Purification Program. It's customized for YOUR body (not a punishment cleanse!) and includes my coaching support throughout.

Feeling like you're ready to stop the cycle of getting sick? Schedule a session to talk about which approach might work best for you.

MY FAVORITE!! 😍

Digestive concerns affect over 50 million Americans each year, many of whom require a visit to a health care professional. Zypan® — a Gold Standard Supplement — provides time-tested enzymatic support to encourage healthy digestion, helping patients process the foods they eat with greater ease.

Ever feel like your brain needs a little boost? That's where the amazing herb, Ginkgo, comes in. 🍃 Standard Process Inc. Ginkgo 2:1 is one of my favorite recommendations for clients looking to support their memory and cognitive function.

What can it do for you? So glad you asked! 😉

→ Supports normal memory function
→ Promotes mental clarity and concentration (who couldn't use more of that?)
→ Helps maintain healthy eyes
→ Supports peripheral nerve function

The science behind it is pretty cool too. It contains these compounds called flavonoids and terpene lactones that are the real MVPs when it comes to benefits.

I've seen such great results with clients who incorporate this into their wellness routine. And yes, I'm looking at you scrolling right now... this might be exactly what you need!

Ready to see if Ginkgo could help you stay sharp and focused? Schedule a session with me today and let's chat about adding this to your health toolkit! → https://inspiredlivingfolsom.com/contact

“My appointment with Dawna was such a great experience. The scan she performs is incredibly detailed and gave me so much insight into what my body truly needs. What impressed me most was how personalized the whole process was—she doesn’t just give a generic plan, she creates a tailored regimen that really fits your unique needs and lifestyle. You can tell she spends a lot of time, energy, and genuine care on her clients. I left feeling supported, encouraged, and with a clear path forward. I highly recommend Dawna if you’re looking for a thorough and personalized approach to your health!”

Small Business Saturday is a special day for people like me who’ve built their business from the heart.

Regina's words remind me why I do this work. There's nothing like seeing someone walk out with clarity about their health and a personalized plan that actually fits their life (not some cookie-cutter program).

You know what's funny? Most people come in thinking they need one thing, then discover something completely different their body has been trying to tell them.

Want to experience this kind of tailored health support for yourself? I have a few spots open before the holidays. Schedule your session. Your body will thank you! → https://inspiredlivingfolsom.com/sessions

This year has tested me in every possible way. My office flooded, I lost so much of what I’d built, and at times it felt like everything was going up in flames, or drowning underwater to be more appropriate.

But here’s what I didn’t lose: the people who showed up. The clients who extended grace. The friends who made me laugh when I wanted to cry. The reminder that what I do matters more than where I do it.

I’m thankful for the people who checked in, the ones who made me laugh when I wanted to scream, and the small reminders that stuff can be replaced, but community and purpose can’t.

So this Thanksgiving, I’m grateful — not for what went right, but for what survived the storm.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there rebuilding, reimagining, and refusing to quit. 🧡

Surviving Thanksgiving without gluten and dairy doesn't mean sacrificing flavor or fun! 🦃✨

The holiday season is approaching, and for those of us with dietary restrictions, Thanksgiving can feel like navigating a minefield of buttery mashed potatoes and flour-laden gravy.

But here's the good news: you CAN enjoy a delicious, satisfying meal without the digestive drama!

My top tips:

→ Talk to your host ahead of time (or offer to bring a dish!)

→ Focus on naturally GF/DF sides like roasted veggies and cranberry sauce

→ Turkey is your friend (just check the seasonings)

→ Try a DIY pumpkin pie with a Trader Joe's GF/DF crust

→ Remember it's about connection, not just food

My personal hack? Stuffed acorn squash with gluten-free stuffing makes an amazing centerpiece that nobody will believe is allergen-friendly!

Don't let dietary restrictions hold you back from enjoying the holidays. Your body will thank you, and you'll be fully present for those special moments with loved ones instead of dealing with discomfort.

Want personalized support for navigating the holiday season with dietary restrictions? Let's chat! Schedule a session and let's make this your most delicious, comfortable Thanksgiving yet. 🍂

The power of energy healing is WAY more than people realize! I'm not talking about basic Reiki (though that's cool too). I'm talking about INTENTION paired with specific techniques that create real change.

Ever tried Tapping? It combines ancient Chinese acupressure with modern psychology to physically shift your brain, energy system and body all at once. You literally tap specific meridian points while processing emotions. Wild how effective it is!

I work with several powerful modalities:

→ Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
→ BodyTalk (uses neuromuscular biofeedback)
→ Pranic Healing (cleansing the energy body)

Call it prayer, intention, or quantum physics... it simply WORKS. And the best part? You don't have to be physically near me. Distance healing is just as powerful!

I can help with mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and yes, even financial wellbeing. Wherever you are in the world, we can work together to shift your energy and create positive change.

Here's some food for thought about your upcoming Thanksgiving dinner...

Did you know your gut and brain are basically best friends who talk all day? For those not aware of this connection, let me share a quick tip: start taking Zypan by Standard Process Inc. daily. It's honestly the first best step to better health and nutrition.

Fair warning: might cause some bloating and gas for 1-2 weeks (yep, real talk). But stick with it! Most people see HUGE improvements in digestion and mental clarity after that initial adjustment.

One client told me, "Zypan definitely leads to noxious cropdusting but the sooner you start taking it, the better you'll feel. And your coworkers will eventually forgive you..." 😂💨

Want to take better care of your gut and brain before the holiday food coma hits? Message me to schedule a discovery session! Your future self (and possibly your dinner companions) will thank you. And pick up some Zypan while you’re at it! → https://inspiredlivingfolsom.standardprocess.com/products/zypan

In 2012, I did something scary but necessary. I closed Azna Gluten Free Bakery and went back to school for Clinical Nutrition. Why? Because I wanted to heal my own gut issues, but then realized I could help others do the same.

Looking back, it was such a pivot moment. Instead of just making gluten-free food FOR people with sensitivities, I started teaching them HOW to eat clean and WHY it matters. The inflammatory effects of gluten and dairy were something people needed to understand.

From Azna Gluten Free to Inspired Living - the name changed but so did the mission. And honestly? I love this version so much more. There's that saying about teaching someone to fish versus giving them fish... well, that's exactly what happened here.

Anyone else gone through a major business evolution? Sometimes the scariest changes lead to the best outcomes.

From 2014 to now…wow! Started Inspired Living charging $50 per session working from my house. Fast forward to 2025 and here I am with a thriving practice in my own space! Some days I can't believe how far this journey has taken me. More clients, bigger space, and honestly? Way more confidence than I had when I started.

Remember when you were just starting something important to you? That mix of excitement and total terror? Yeah, that was me 11 years ago. Now I'm looking ahead wondering what the next 11 years might bring.

Life has a funny way of exceeding our expectations when we just keep showing up, right?
