Many people think Continuous Glucose Monitors are only for diabetics…

But they’re actually an incredible tool for understanding your metabolism.

Here are 3 surprising things people often discover when wearing a CGM:

1️⃣ “Healthy” foods can spike blood sugar
Foods like oatmeal, granola, smoothies, and even some gluten-free products can cause large glucose spikes for some people.

2️⃣ Poor sleep affects blood sugar the next day
Even one night of bad sleep can make your body respond differently to food the next day.

3️⃣ Stress can spike glucose — even without food
Your body releases cortisol during stress, which can raise blood sugar levels.

Seeing this information in real time can help you understand:

✔ What foods work best for YOUR body
✔ Why energy crashes happen
✔ How lifestyle habits affect metabolism

I'm excited to now offer Continuous Glucose Monitoring through my partnership with Theia Health.

Understanding your metabolism is one of the most powerful tools for improving your health.

💡 Most vitamins aren’t in the form your body actually uses.

Many common vitamins, especially B vitamins must go through several biochemical steps before your body can activate them.

For example:
Folic Acid → must convert → Methylfolate
This conversion depends on enzymes controlled by a gene called MTHFR.
Research suggests that up to 46% of people may have genetic variations that make this conversion less efficient.

When that happens, the body may struggle to activate certain nutrients involved in:

• energy production
• brain chemistry
• detoxification
• hormone balance
• methylation pathways

✨ At Essential Wellness Solutions, I intentionally choose supplements that contain these activated forms of B vitamins.

Sometimes it's not about taking more supplements, it's about taking the right form.

If you ever have questions about supplements or what might be best for your body, I'm always happy to help guide you!

You’ve probably seen the chlorophyll drops trending lately… 👀💧
But are they actually worth it?

Here’s the truth 👇

Chlorophyll (the green pigment in plants 🌿) can support the body in a few key ways:

✔️ May help bind certain toxins
✔️ Can support natural detox pathways (especially liver support)
✔️ May help with body odor (yes—internal deodorant is a real thing!)
✔️ Supports overall cellular health

BUT… here’s what matters most 👇

Not all chlorophyll products are created equal.

When I look at a product, I care about:
✨ Clean sourcing
✨ No unnecessary additives
✨ Third-party testing
✨ How it actually fits into YOUR health picture

Because here’s the truth…
💡 No supplement replaces good nutrition, hydration, and gut health.

If you’re curious about chlorophyll, I’m happy to help you decide if it’s a good fit for YOU 💚

We can’t restore health if we’re guessing.

So many people are stuck in a cycle of
band-aids… protocol hopping… and surface-level answers.

But if you’re truly ready for root-cause healing,
we have to look deeper.

That’s where functional testing — like GI mapping — changes the game.

It helps us understand what’s actually happening inside your body

so we can stop guessing… and start supporting what you truly need.

✨ Clarity
✨ Confidence
✨ A plan that makes sense for you

Because healing shouldn’t feel like a guessing game.

If you’ve been feeling stuck and not getting answers…
this might be your next step.

Message me if you’re curious what “looking deeper” could look like for you 💚

“Coffee… in a health food store?”

Yes. Absolutely. On purpose. ☕

Because coffee isn’t the problem.
Poor-quality coffee is.

🌱When grown and prepared well, coffee can actually be a beautiful daily ritual that supports:

• Antioxidant intake (coffee is one of the largest antioxidant sources in the American diet)
• Brain clarity and focus
• Metabolism and fat oxidation
• Liver health
• Mood and motivation

☝️But here’s the part most people don’t realize…
Coffee is one of the most chemically treated crops in the world.
And if it’s poorly processed or stored, it can contain mold and mycotoxins.
That’s why I’m very intentional about the coffee I carry in the store.
The coffee I choose is:
✔️ Organically grown
✔️ Pesticide tested
✔️ Mold & mycotoxin tested
✔️ Sourced with quality standards I feel good about

🫶Because if we’re going to enjoy coffee, let’s do it in a way that supports our health — not stresses our system.

👉And here’s another tip most people overlook:
The freshness matters.
Coffee beans begin to oxidize once ground.
For the highest antioxidant value and best flavor:
• Buy whole bean
• Grind just before brewing
• Use clean, filtered water
• Avoid sugary creamers and artificial flavors
• Pair it with protein (especially for blood sugar balance)

Like most things in wellness… it’s not about extremes.
It’s about quality and intention.
Coffee can be a daily joy.
Let’s just make it a clean one. ☕
