Recently listened to The Diary of a CEO by Steven Bartlett and really appreciated how applicable it is, whether you’re a CEO or not.

It’s less about business strategy and more about how you think, show up, and navigate life.

A few takeaways:
• Your habits and environment shape more than motivation ever will
• Discipline matters more than short bursts of inspiration
• Self-awareness is one of the most valuable skills you can build
• Growth often comes from discomfort, not ease

He also hosts The Diary of a CEO, which features a wide range of thoughtful and insightful guests.

Worth the listen if you’re interested in personal growth, mindset, and how to operate at a higher level in any area of life.

✨ NAD+ vs Glutathione: What’s the difference?

Both are powerful, but they support the body in different ways.

NAD+
Supports cellular energy and brain function
• Mitochondrial energy production
• Mental clarity and focus
• Recovery and resilience
• Healthy aging support
Glutathione
The body’s master antioxidant
• Detoxification pathways
• Immune support
• Cellular protection from oxidative stress
• Skin and overall vitality

👉 Think of it this way:
NAD+ helps you create energy
Glutathione helps you protect and clean up

Not sure which is right for you? We can help guide you.

A simple, nourishing plate.

Roasted beets, carrots, and potatoes
Sautéed kale
Pan-cooked salmon
Wild rice
Finished with olive oil, rosemary, garlic, lemon, and sea salt.

Meals like this remind us that whole foods provide incredible nutrition when combined together.

What’s on this plate:

🐟 Salmon – rich in omega-3 fats that support brain health, inflammation balance, and hormone health

🌾 Wild rice – higher in protein and nutrients than most rice varieties and provides steady energy

🥕 Beets, carrots, and kale – packed with vitamin A, minerals, and phytonutrients that support circulation, liver and gallbladder function, and overall vitality

🫒 Olive oil – healthy fats that help absorb fat-soluble vitamins

🌿 Garlic and rosemary – flavorful herbs that also support digestion and provide antioxidants

Cooking vegetables also makes many nutrients easier to digest and absorb, something both modern nutrition and Chinese medicine emphasize.

This is also a great meal prep option.
Roast a large batch of vegetables and cook extra wild rice at the beginning of the week, then add a fresh protein like salmon when you’re ready to eat.

Simple food. Real nourishment.

A simple morning ritual: warm lemon water

Starting the day with warm lemon water is a simple habit that can support digestion, hydration, and overall wellness.

From both a functional and Chinese medicine perspective, warm water in the morning helps gently wake up the digestive system after the overnight fast. Adding lemon can support digestion, stimulate digestive juices, and provide vitamin C and antioxidants.

In Chinese medicine, we often encourage warm fluids in the morning to support the Spleen and Stomach, which are responsible for transforming food into energy for the day.

Benefits of starting the day this way may include:

• gentle digestive support
• hydration after sleep
• support for liver and detox pathways
• a simple way to begin the day mindfully

Sometimes the smallest daily habits can have the biggest long-term impact.

Food & Nutrition Series — Part 6 (Final): Intermittent Fasting

In the final part of our nutrition series, Carly and Dr. Katie talk about intermittent fasting and when it may or may not be helpful.

Intermittent fasting can be a useful tool for some people, particularly when it comes to supporting insulin sensitivity and metabolic health. It is sometimes used in protocols for conditions such as insulin resistance and PCOS.

However, fasting is not one-size-fits-all.

For many menstruating individuals, especially during reproductive years, longer fasting windows may need to be approached with caution. The body is sensitive to energy availability, and extended fasting can sometimes increase cortisol levels or feel more stressful on the body, particularly for those already dealing with stress or adrenal imbalance.

In this video we also talk about:

• Why some people may benefit from a gentler fasting window such as 12–14 hours overnight
• How fasting can activate autophagy, the body’s cellular repair and recycling process that tends to increase during longer fasting periods
• Why intermittent fasting may be more helpful for insulin resistance and metabolic health than for individuals dealing with high stress or cortisol dysregulation
• How late night snacking can negatively impact both blood sugar balance and sleep quality

As with most things in nutrition, the goal is not rigid rules but finding an approach that works with your body and your lifestyle.

Thank you for following along with our nutrition series. We hope these conversations help make healthy choices feel more approachable and sustainable.

Food & Nutrition Series — Part 5: What to Add In

We have talked about things to reduce in the diet. Now let’s talk about what to add in.

One of the most powerful ways to support your health is by focusing on nutrient dense, colorful foods.

In this video Carly and Dr. Katie talk about:

• Eating a variety of colorful vegetables and fruits to increase phytonutrients
• Building meals around quality proteins such as meat and fish
• Meal prepping vegetables so healthy choices are easier during the week
• Why Traditional Chinese Medicine tends to prefer warm, cooked foods over cold smoothies, which can be harder to digest and may spike blood sugar
• Why juicing at room temperature can sometimes be easier for digestion than very cold smoothies

Nutrition does not have to be complicated. Focusing on whole foods, color, and balance can go a long way in supporting energy, metabolism, and overall wellness.

In Part 4 of our nutrition series, Carly and Dr. Katie discuss seed oils and how they may impact gut health and inflammation.

Common seed oils include:

soybean oil
corn oil
canola oil
sunflower oil
safflower oil

These oils are heavily used in processed foods and restaurant cooking.

In this video we talk about:

• why reducing ultra processed foods can support gut resilience
• how everyday food choices affect toxic load
• healthier fats to cook with such as olive oil, avocado oil, butter, and ghee

Nutrition does not have to be complicated. Small awareness and simple swaps can go a long way.

Seasonal Wisdom from Chinese Medicine

In Chinese medicine, watermelon is called Xi Gua (西瓜) and is considered a very cold food or herb. It is known for helping the body clear heat, generate fluids, and restore balance when things feel overheated or dry.

Traditionally it is used when there are signs of heat in the body such as:

• hot flashes
• excessive thirst
• a red tongue
• a fast pulse

Even though it is only March, this winter has been unusually warm. In dry climates like Colorado, many people naturally tend to run a little more hot and dry, especially when the seasons do not behave the way they normally do.

In Chinese medicine we often think of the body a bit like a radiator system. When fluids run low, heat builds. When heat builds, it dries fluids further. It can become a cycle.

Foods that gently cool and nourish fluids can help bring the body back toward balance. Watermelon is one of them, along with foods like cucumber, celery, and mint.

Sometimes the foods that feel most refreshing are exactly what the body is asking for.

Let’s talk about gluten.

In Part 3 of our nutrition series, Carly and Dr. Katie discuss why some people feel better avoiding certain wheat products.

Not all bread is created equal.

Modern breads are often highly processed and quickly fermented, while traditional sourdough uses a slow fermentation process that helps break down gluten and other compounds.

Another factor to consider is how wheat is grown. Many conventional wheat crops are treated with herbicides like glyphosate, which can be detected in processed wheat products.

For many people, focusing on whole foods and traditionally prepared breads can make a noticeable difference.

Starting the morning with an Omega-3 boost.

Eggs, avocado, microgreen sprouts, and Baja Gold salt.

Omega-3 fats support brain function, healthy inflammation balance, and overall metabolic health. Microgreens may be tiny, but they are incredibly nutrient dense and rich in phytonutrients that support cellular health.

Simple food. Big nutrition.

Let’s talk about sugar.

In Part 2 of our nutrition series, Carly and Dr. Katie discuss a few simple strategies around sweets:

• Eating sugar after protein or meals to help stabilize blood sugar
• Being mindful of how often sugar shows up in everyday foods
• Why it may be helpful to avoid artificial sweeteners

Nutrition is not about perfection. It is about understanding how food affects the body and making choices that support your health.
