Got the winter blues or sniffles? 🌥️

Even though it doesn't FEEL like winter, there is less sunlight during the winter months. And this can cause a vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D3 plays a HUGE role in how we feel and function. As you can see in this chart, lower vitamin D3 levels correspond with increases in sickness.

Vitamin D3 supports:
☀️ Strong bones, joints & teeth
☀️ Mood, mental clarity & emotional balance
☀️ Immune resilience
☀️ Heart health
☀️ Weight management
☀️ Balanced blood sugar levels

If you’ve noticed lower energy, mood changes, frequent sickness, or stubborn weight shifts, vitamin D3 may be a missing piece. Especially in this season of life.

💛 Want to know my favorite, high-quality vitamin D3 options?

🚨 Supplement Safety Alert! 🚨

A new investigative report from SuppCo just tested 44 best-selling supplements on Amazon… and the results were shocking.

👉 Over 50% FAILED to contain the active ingredients listed on their labels.
👉 20 out of 22 failed products had only 0–3% of what they claimed.
👉 These were from categories like Creatine, NAD+, Urolithin A, and Berberine—some of the most popular supplements on the market.
👉 And this is happening on a marketplace that sold over $15 BILLION in supplements last year.

SuppCo even found patterns in where these low-quality products are coming from—major red flags that every consumer should know about.

💡 Bottom line: supplements have a major trust problem, especially online. Please do your research and know your sources!

✨ The good news?
The supplements I recommend are third-party tested, potent, and pure—so you never have to guess if what you’re taking is actually what’s in the bottle. 🙌

If you ever need help choosing high-quality supplements, I’m here for you!

✨ The holidays are officially here! ✨

Between the parties, travel, and endless trays of treats, it can be easy to get off track. So I put together a few simple, doable tips to help you stay balanced and still enjoy the season!

Here are four habits to keep you feeling your best:
1) Avoid skipping meals. It might seem helpful, but it usually leads to overeating later. Keep your blood sugar steady and your energy up.
2) Stay hydrated. Holiday fatigue and increased blood sugar often come from dehydration. Keep your water bottle close and sip throughout the day.
3) Don’t eat sweets “naked”. Pair holiday treats with a little protein or healthy fat to slow the sugar spike and keep cravings in check.
4) Practice mindful eating. Slow down, savor each bite, and give your body a chance to signal fullness.

Small, intentional choices make a big difference. There's enough to stress about during the busiest season of the year - staying balanced shouldn't be one of them. You’ve got this! 💛

We know it's best to eat produce when it's in season. So, today I want to talk about the benefits of Pumpkin & Winter Squash.

They are packed with beta-carotene, a precursor to Vitamin A that supports immune function, eye health, and skin integrity. Their natural sweetness also makes them a versatile base for soups, roasted sides, or even baked goods.

Spaghetti squash has a high content of B vitamins, which support brain function, metabolism, and nerve communication.

Enjoy this yummy Spaghetti Squash recipe!

At our luncheon today, we discussed how stress affects our bodies and can contribute to a number of health problems. The holidays can add even more stress on top of what we deal with in our daily lives.

Below are 3 simple ways to Reduce Stress because you can’t pour from an empty cup. 💛

1️⃣ Create mini pauses in your day
Take 2–3 minutes to breathe deeply, stretch, or step outside between tasks. Short pauses help lower cortisol and reset your nervous system.

2️⃣ Fuel your body, don’t just feed it
Blood sugar swings can make stress feel worse. Aim for balanced meals with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Don’t skip meals (especially breakfast!).

3️⃣ Protect your peace with boundaries
It’s okay to say no, delegate tasks, or take a step back. Guard your time and energy. Enjoy time with your loved ones. ✨

Feeling off after daylight savings time?

As the days get shorter and darker earlier, many of us feel that slump of trouble falling asleep, waking up groggy, or just feeling “off.” Our internal clock (circadian rhythm) thrives on consistency, but daylight shifts can throw it for a loop.

Here are a few simple ways to help your body reset naturally:

🕯️ Create a calming evening rhythm
Start dimming lights and winding down about an hour before bed. Try reading, stretching, or sipping a warm herbal tea instead of scrolling your phone.

📱 Reduce blue light before bed
Blue light from screens suppresses melatonin (your sleep hormone). Aim to power down devices at least 30–60 minutes before sleep or use blue-light filters if needed.

☀️ Get morning sunlight
Step outside early in the day to anchor your internal clock. Natural light in the morning helps regulate melatonin and boosts mood and energy. If you can't get morning sun, then use red light therapy.

🛏️ Keep bedtime consistent
Go to bed and wake up around the same time every day. Yes, even on weekends. Your body loves rhythm and routine!

💆‍♀️ Bonus tip: Diffuse calming oils like lavender or cedarwood, or take a few slow, deep breaths before you drift off. Small rituals make a big difference.

Your sleep is foundational to your mood, metabolism, and immune health. Take time to nurture it, especially as the seasons shift. 🌒

🎃🍬 What Sugar Really Does to Our Kids’ Bodies 🍬🎃

Halloween PSA for moms! Halloween is all about costumes, fun, and yes, candy! While sweets are part of childhood (in moderation, of course), it’s important to know what sugar actually does inside our bodies, especially our kids.

📉 Did you know just one sugary treat can suppress your child’s immune system for up to 6 hours? That means their body is less able to fight off viruses and bacteria. Coincidence that cold & flu season is between Halloween and Easter - I think not!

Here’s what sugar does inside our bodies:
❌ Spikes blood sugar → leading to crashes, mood swings, and tantrums
❌ Feeds inflammation → which is linked to eczema, gut issues, and chronic illness
❌ Disrupts the gut microbiome → 70% of immune cells live in the gut, so when the gut is inflamed, immunity decreases
❌ Affects focus + behavior → studies show kids experience attention and hyperactivity changes within minutes of consuming sugar

✨ What we CAN do instead of saying “no candy”?

* Set a candy window (enjoy treats after a protein-rich meal)

* Offer fun swaps like stickers, glow sticks, or small toys

* Flood their bodies with nutrients BEFORE the candy to protect their immunity

🎯 We don’t have to be perfect. We just need to be mindful.

Choosing to support our kids’ immune systems, brains, and gut health during sugar-heavy seasons is one of the most powerful things we can do as moms.
