The most important question you can ask when it comes to your health...​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​is WHY.

-WHY am I experiencing symptoms of anxiety?
-WHY do I have estrogen dominance?
-WHY can't I sleep at night?
-WHY do I have abdominal pain that gets worse when I’m under stress?
-WHY am I not ovulating?
-WHY can't I make it through the day without mainlining caffeine?
-WHY does my body freak out when I try to relax?

Every 'WHY' brings you closer to identifying the root cause, which is the first step towards fixing the issue.

THIS IS WHERE WE COME IN.

We can help you bridge the gap between where you are today and where you want to be...by asking WHY.

What I’m doing instead 👇🏻

Sleep: 8-9 hours every night, non-negotiable. Even if it means missing a workout.

Nutrition: focusing heavily on nutrient dense whole foods, primarily warm & cooked for easier digestion and nutrient absorption

Mind: brain dump journaling, therapy, time to myself, prioritizing doing things that bring me joy

Movement: working out in ways that feel nourishing….walking, yoga, Pilates, weight training as I feel my energy return

Acupuncture: 1-2x/week to help with both physical and emotional healing

I’m also going to run some labs, despite my doctor saying it’s not necessary. Not necessary to assess nutrient status before I resume trying to grow a human which is arguably requires the most nutrients of anything I’ll ever do in my life? Wild. Not necessary to check in on thyroid, metabolic function, and energy production before I resume trying to grow a human which requires more energy than anything else I’ll ever do in my life? Again…wild.

I go deeper on the specific labs I’m running and why in Episode 2 of my podcast, Rewriting Fertility.

Hey guys in case you didn’t know, you don’t have to do a bunch of cleanses this year to “manifest your vision board”.

Maybe this person means well and is lovely. Bless her heart. But to make these sweeping statements and invite people to join a “fungus cleanse” to help them achieve their goals while ignoring the very real possibility that any one of these “cleanses” could actually cause physiological and psychological harm is not okay.

You deserve better than getting sh*tty advice from “wellness” influencers.

02/03/2026

First and foremost, I am tending to my heart. For me, that looked like several days of “do not disturb” on my phone, crawling into a blanket burrrito with my dogs, and sleeping/crying/bingeing tv shows. It looked like crying with my husband and consciously choosing to let this experience bring us closer instead of drive a wedge between us. It looked like unapologetically meeting my needs no matter what, because I deserve that (and so do you).

As the immediate emotional fog is starting to lift, I’m poking around in my brain to notice where there might be limiting beliefs or stories around pregnancy & fertility that I didn’t realize were running in the background (and I’m finding a bunch 👀)

I’m also taking a look at some labwork I had done last year to see what factors I might want to pay attention to, in hindsight. There’s a high probability that the miscarriage was caused by a chromosomal abnormality, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to do what I can to set myself up for an even better chance of success when I’m ready to try again. I’m planning to repeat some labs to get updated data in a few areas as well.

All along, I’ve continued to uphold the healthy foundations that are second nature to me: protein, fat, and fiber at every meal, mostly warm & cooked foods for easier digestion, mineral mocktails, varied plants on my plate, taking my supplements, moving my body in ways that feel good, etc.

Beyond those basics, I’m prioritizing blood nourishing foods to replenish the resources lost over the last few months while pregnant & through the miscarriage. Lots of red meat, colorful produce, root veggies, mineral rich herbs, and sources of healthy fat

I’m taking a beat to get my feet underneath me before we start to try again. This wasn’t an easy decision, because the wound in my heart was screaming TRY AGAIN ASAP… but my gut was telling me to take a breath and recalibrate.

I’m diving deeper into how I’m navigating this experience in podcast form….on my brand new podcast Rewriting Fertility. The first 3 episodes are LIVE today!

Let's talk sick kids

We are in the final, and quite possibly worst, stretch of winter sickness-wise. Coughs, colds, flu, strep, and other bugs are taking advantage of weakened immune systems left and right.

Acupuncture can help to shorten duration and intensity of sickness for your little one (and for you). It can help push out a pathogen if caught early. It can help clear up symptoms that seem to have lingered on for far too long. It can help support the body through a fever, ease tummy trouble, and promote sleep (which a sick body needs more than anything).

Remember the basics to help keep your kids healthy:

✨Immune support supplements like vitamin D, probiotics, zinc, & a quality multivitamin
✨Prioritize sleep and don't overload the calendar
✨Modulate/minimize sugar consumption
✨Promote gut health to influence immune function

Anybody else’s skin suffering from winter dryness?

For whatever reason, I’m feeling the dryness like crazy so far this winter. Cracked hands, flaky face, staticky sweaters....yikes! AND my plant babies have been guzzling water.

My favorite winter skin saver is a little jar of Emily Skin Soother. This stuff is gentle, effective, and multi-functional. I’ve used it for everything from dry hands to diaper rash and it always gets the job done. It’s best known for its effects on eczema and psoriasis, but it has so many other uses. I’ve even used it on healing tattoos, and it’s the only thing that’s gotten stubborn ink to settle.

Emily Skin Soother comes in a few varieties based on the type of skin issues you may be dealing with. I just restocked the apothecary for the winter, so order yours or stop by the clinic soon! Travel jars are $5 and they last forever! A little goes a long way with this healing salve.

And also...hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!!

She came to us feeling like she was out of options.

👉🏻 12 months of TTC—just like her doctor told her.
👉🏻 Tracking BBT + ovulation—data her doctor barely glanced at.
👉🏻 Tried the ovulation meds—prescribed because they had no other ideas.

Still no baby.

Her labs were “normal.” Her doctor said just keep trying.

But deep down, she knew something wasn’t right.
She felt exhausted, anxious, and frustrated that her doctors didn’t get it.

We used our root cause focused diagnostic process and looked where no one else had. And we found what her OB missed:

🚫 Blood sugar swings draining her hormones
🚫 Low nutrient stores needed to sustain pregnancy
🚫 Gut inflammation her body couldn’t ignore
🚫 A nervous system stuck in survival mode

✨ Once we understood the why, everything changed.

She didn’t need ovulation meds, she needed foundational support. She needed to fix the body systems that fertility functions depend on.

Her personalized treatment plan focused on:

✅ Food, rest, and rhythm over restriction
✅ Supporting gut health, sleep, and safety
✅ Letting go of perfection and rebuilding trust

Four months later, she got the two pink lines she’d almost stopped believing in 🤰🏻

The same body she once doubted... finally had the resources and support it needed to get and stay pregnant.

✨ If you’re tired of being told you’re “fine” when you know you’re not—

Comment ROOT and we’ll DM you the link to a step by step video training that breaks down the details of our fertility optimization method and how it can help you finally get pregnant 🤰🏻

Content warning: pregnancy loss

I was SO excited to get to share these photos, but this wasn’t the announcement I had hoped I’d be making along with them.

Anthony and I recently lost a baby. We are so SO sad, and at the same time we feel blessed to have each other to lean on, along with our amazing circle of family and friends.

There are so many tiny puzzle pieces that have to fall perfectly into place in order for a pregnancy to result in a baby in your arms, and it’s an incredible miracle when it does. Sometimes….it just doesn’t.

Just like in any other area of life… you can plan, and prepare, and set yourself up for the best chance of success and all of that still doesn’t make you exempt from the parts of the human experience that we would do anything to avoid.

The things I know to be true about this experience: my body didn’t fail. This wasn’t my fault (or Anthony’s). Neither of us did anything wrong, and there’s nothing that we could have or should have done differently. When the time is right, our family will grow. We are so so ready for that time to come. And in the meantime I feel so blessed to have Raven and to know how beautiful life gets when all the pregnancy puzzle pieces DO fall perfectly into place.

Our job now is to find healing in each other, surrender to the fact that parts of this process are fully out of our control, and be kind and gentle to ourselves.

If you’re navigating a loss, or ever have, my heart is with you.

The grief we feel now is because of the love we felt first ❤️‍🩹
