Most people assume gut bacteria are the problem.

But sometimes they’re actually a signal of something deeper.

In this client case, her stool test showed opportunistic bacteria.

At first glance it looked like a gut infection issue.

But when we integrated:

• bloodwork
• HTMA mineral patterns
• surgical history
• metabolic markers

A different story emerged.

Her gut imbalance appeared to be secondary to metabolic stress and digestive changes after gallbladder removal.

This is why looking at the full picture matters when interpreting lab tests.

The microbiome reflects the environment of the body.

And sometimes the most effective approach isn’t attacking bacteria right off the bat…

It’s supporting the systems that allowed the imbalance to happen.

A short walk after dinner is one of my favorite habits.

It’s simple, free, and incredibly supportive for metabolism.

When you move after a meal, your muscles can use circulating glucose for energy. That helps bring blood sugar back toward baseline more smoothly.

You don’t need anything intense, just 10–20 minutes of walking can help.

Hope that helps! 🫶

A day in the life… aka all the roles my clients assign me daily 😂

ALL out of love for my clients though 🫶

Cred for the inspo because this trend is painfully accurate 😂

Trainers - which hat do you wear most?
Clients - which one do you need most? 👀

If you’ve been feeling like your sugar cravings are louder lately… this is your reminder:

It’s not about discipline.

It’s about regulation.

Between the holidays and Valentine’s Day, most of us never really gave our blood sugar (or our nervous system) a reset. So if you’re reaching for chocolate at 3pm or wanting something sweet every night — that doesn’t mean you lack willpower.

It usually means something underneath needs support.

In this carousel, I’m breaking down the most common root causes I see in clients:

• Blood sugar swings
• Undereating
• Low protein
• Stress + cortisol
• Hormone shifts
• Sleep deprivation
• Habit loops

Cravings are communication.

When we stop trying to “be stronger” and start getting curious instead, everything changes.

If this resonates, Part 1 is now live inside The Roots Collective where I go deeper into identifying your specific trigger.

And next week in Part 2, I’ll walk you through how to actually reduce cravings — without extremes or cutting everything out.

Comment “ROOTS” if this hit home and you would like more info!

Change doesn’t usually fail because of a lack of discipline.

It gets stuck because we’re already overwhelmed before we even start.

This is a planning tool I use personally and with clients to create space before change begins — before the workout routine, before the nutrition plan, before the protocol.

One focused block.
One clear stop.
No pressure to do everything at once.

Save this for the weeks when planning feels harder than the plan itself
