We eat mostly meal prep during the week and cook on the weekends. Tonight we had steak salads. Eating beef and cooking it in a cast-iron skillet is an easy way to boost iron stores.

After I had BK, I was craving beef like crazy. Blood work showed I was iron deficient. Iron pills can be hard on the gut and aren’t always the easiest to absorb, so I focused a lot on natural ways to boost my iron stores.

When we cook with ground beef, I use a liver blend, which is loaded with iron. Truthfully, I can’t tell the difference between regular ground beef and the liver blend. My family eats it too.

I used the apple cider vinaigrette from meal prep. We have it on the menu weekly. Our dressings are my favorite and taste so much better than store-bought. I always keep a few stocked in my fridge.

I really appreciated this thoughtful article written by pediatrician Dr. Joel Gator MD.

I had my tonsils removed when I was five years old. I was constantly sick as a child — strep throat, ear infections, and just about everything in between. After the surgery, I experienced rare and life-threatening complications. If my mom hadn’t recognized the signs of internal bleeding, I don’t think I would be here today.

Looking back, it was pretty clear that my body was in a chronic inflammatory state. Constantly getting sick was my body’s way of whispering that something was wrong before it screamed. At the time, the next “logical” step in conventional medicine was removing my tonsils, but that didn’t address the root cause. I was still getting sick afterward — in some ways, even worse than before.

Back then, taking a holistic approach felt very foreign. It wasn’t until we began addressing the underlying inflammation in my body that I truly started to get better.
In my experience, many traditional pediatricians aren’t always trained to ask the deeper “why” questions — which is why, as parents, we have to feel empowered to think critically and ask, “Why is this happening?”

Sometimes procedures like this are absolutely warranted and necessary, and sometimes they aren’t.

The surgery parents are told is “routine” — and what you deserve to know before saying yes

Morning workout done ✔️

No matter where you are in your journey, you can start small. When I was at rock bottom with my health, I couldn’t get out of bed without feeling dizzy. The slightest change in motion made me feel like I was going to pass out. I started by walking, then using 2-pound weights. Once I built confidence and momentum with one thing, I added more.

Start small—it builds confidence and momentum, which is so powerful.

This is what I use on BK’s skin to moisturize after a bath. I’ve been using it since he was a newborn. I love it so much that we now offer it on our meal prep menu. ⬇️

I had the Asian meatballs from meal prep tonight for dinner. The cauliflower “fried” rice is one of my favorites. We pair it with homemade sticky sauce on the side.

My little 🦈 I added an extra filter on BK’s bathtub. Cleaner water can help better hydrate the skin. It can also be beneficial for kids with skin issues. Ours is from

Finally committed to going to the chiropractor more consistently a few weeks ago and am noticing a big difference. After years of working in EMS and lifting heavy patients, my back was so messed up. I should have addressed it before having BK because that made it worse, but here we are now. I’m only a few weeks in and already noticing a big difference.
