This holiday mocktail guide is simple, nourishing + totally customizable — which means you can make it your own with ingredients that support your body + taste amazing.

Here’s why I love these ingredients:

👉 Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water gives you natural electrolytes to keep you hydrated.

👉 Spindrift Sparkling Water keeps things light + bubbly without added sugar.

👉 Harvest Farmacy Elderberry Cider adds antioxidants, vitamins + a pop of flavor. (Grab it from Restore + Revive Wellness Center!)

👉 Organic Local Honey adds natural sweetness, supports seasonal allergies + brings soothing antimicrobial properties.

👉 Fresh Lemon or Lime will brighten the flavor, support digestion + give you a little vitamin C boost.

👉 Garnish with rosemary for its grounding + anti-inflammatory properties, mint to support digestion + cranberries for extra antioxidants (and the festive vibes).

Holiday baking doesn’t have to mean choosing between feeling good + enjoying the treats you love. ❤️

Here are some simple swaps that'll help you keep all the good flavor + support your body this holiday season:

👉 Choose organic whenever possible. Organic flours, spices, butter + produce help you avoid pesticide residues, artificial additives, and GMOs.

👉 Use natural sweeteners. Maple syrup, coconut sugar, raw honey, or dates provide sweetness plus minerals + antioxidants.

👉 Upgrade your fats. Swap seed oils for grass-fed butter, coconut oil, or avocado oil. These nourish your hormones, support brain health + give baked goods a better texture.

👉 Go for higher-quality flour options. Almond flour, oat flour, or a gluten-free blend can reduce inflammation + support digestion — without changing the flavor you love.

👉 Add flavor the natural way. Real vanilla extract, fresh citrus zest, high-quality cocoa + warming organic spices (like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger) elevate your recipes instantly.

Healthy baking is all about choosing ingredients that make your treats taste better + help you feel your best long after the holidays are over.

Many women don't realize that after 30, they lose 3-8% of their muscle mass per decade...

And unfortunately, that loss only accelerates after menopause.

When left unaddressed, muscle loss can compromise your balance, metabolism, bone density, and overall ability to live independently! Muscle atrophy can also increase your risk of falls, fractures + metabolic diseases.

So, how do we combat that?

Experts recommend resistance training at least twice per week. Comment below if you'd like to know what workout routine I'm sticking to in 2026!

As fun and festive as these holiday drinks may sound, many of the classics are full of artificial ingredients, dyes + added sugars that can spike blood sugar, disrupt digestion, and leave you feeling sluggish.

Here are some ways to enjoy the season while supporting your body:

1️⃣ Skip the artificially flavored mixes – Most pre-made holiday drink bases are filled with corn syrup, preservatives, and synthetic flavors. Instead, opt for Just Ingredients mixes, which are made with 100% real ingredients. Plus, you'll get some added protein with your fun drinks!

2️⃣ Choose real fruit over juice concentrates – Cranberry, pomegranate, or orange juice blends often contain added sugars + dyes. Look for 100% organic juice or use fresh fruit for natural color + nutrients.

3️⃣ Ditch the soda + sweetened sparkling drinks – These can deliver 30–40g of sugar in a single serving. Opt for Spindrift Sparkling Water and Poppi for the same bubbly effect without the blood sugar roller coaster.

Even swapping one sugary or artificial beverage for a cleaner option can make a huge difference in how you feel during the holidays. 🎁

Save this for your next gathering! Cheers to feeling good all season long. ✨

As a functional medicine provider, I've walked hundreds of patients through menopause. And I've found that when you nourish the body and calm the mind, balance often follows!

I always recommend starting with nutrition (protein at every meal, fiber, and calcium) and then layering in additional support (Omega-3s, vitamin D, magnesium).

Swipe for some general recommendations. However, keep in mind that everyone's body is unique!

I'd love to chat about specific recommendations for you or your loved ones. Book an appointment with 's functional medicine team to get started.

The 10-14 days after ovulation and before your period (aka the Luteal Phase) is one of the most overlooked parts of your cycle.

⏩ Progesterone rises as your body prepares for a possible pregnancy – and your energy, mood & appetite can all shift. (It’s also the time when PMS symptoms are most likely to show themselves.)

Supporting yourself during this phase is all about honoring your body’s natural rhythm. Think 👉 nourishing foods, thoughtful supplements, gentle movement, quality sleep, and a little extra patience with yourself.

Save this post for that time of the month! 🤍

Looking for new ways to ease aches and pains more naturally? ⤵️

While acetaminophen can help in the short term, over-reliance may strain your liver and mask signals your body is trying to send. Luckily, there are natural strategies that support your body & help manage discomfort more gently.

👉 Rest & recovery – Giving your body time to heal is one of the most powerful tools you have.

👉 Gentle movement – Stretching, yoga, or light exercise keeps muscles flexible & helps reduce stiffness.

👉 Epsom salt baths – Magnesium-rich baths can relax muscles, reduce tension & support overall recovery.

👉 Red light therapy – Using red or near-infrared light can help reduce inflammation, support circulation & promote tissue repair.

👉 Wet sock method – A natural home remedy where you put on cold, wet socks and cover them with dry ones before bed to help boost circulation & support the body’s immune response.

👉 Anti-inflammatory herbs – lavender, peppermint & eucalyptus contain natural compounds that help calm inflammation by easing swelling and soothing the body’s response to irritation.

👉 Homeopathics – highly diluted natural remedies made from plants, minerals, or animal substances (such as Belladonna for fever, and Bryonia for joint pain) used to gently stimulate the body’s natural healing response. I recommend BOIRON USA's The Doctor Mom's Homeopathy Essentials Kit or Genexa's Medicine Made Clean Acetaminophen!

👉 Natural pain relievers – Ginger & turmeric block inflammatory pathways and reduce the production of chemicals in the body that cause pain & swelling.

Natural remedies combined with intentional lifestyle habits can reduce how often you need to rely on medication — and support your body long-term.
