Kristie is sharing a behind the scenes look at her recent labs because heart health is more than just one number.

Total cholesterol alone doesn’t tell the full story.

Before you panic over one “high” result, zoom out and look at the bigger picture. Context matters.

If you’ve been confused by your labs, you’re not alone. We help clients interpret their numbers in a way that makes sense. Reach out if you need support! 💚

Heart health isn’t just LDL and HDL — it’s the full story. 🫀

We look at the usual suspects (LDL, HDL, VLDL), but if there’s family history or extra concerns, we dig deeper: Lp(a), ApoB, particle number & size, and hs-CRP to see inflammation and hidden risk.

Cholesterol isn’t the villain — context is everything. Sometimes a calcium score CT is the cherry on top to really see what’s going on.

Because heart health is bigger than LDL and HDL.

She didn’t need a complete overhaul.
She needed small, attainable shifts that felt manageable in a hard season.

We focused on simple changes, consistency, and working with her body instead of pushing it.

And those small shifts created powerful results.

Never underestimate what steady, sustainable changes can do.

Sometimes bad things happen even when you’re doing everything right!

How you navigate health challenges is such a unique experience… Do you have someone advocating for you and looking at the big picture? Who is on your team?

I’m so grateful for my network and support system for when hard things happen! Health is such a journey, not a destination…

Sometimes we get the rug pulled out from under us and it sucks.

But it’s also an opportunity to take a big look at our systems and reach out to our guides and helpers to get us back on track!

It’s February 17 and the sun was out by my 7AM walk… Are you moving your body with intention today? I know the winter can feel long and days where the sun peaks through may be few and far between but you can do this! Whether you’re experiencing wintering in your life due to health concerns or tragedy or stress…or if this season has you down please remember…”We have seasons when we flourish and seasons when the leaves fall from us, revealing our bare bones. Given time, they grow again.”
