We spend so much time judging ourselves—our choices, emotions, even our healing progress. But what if you replaced judgment with curiosity instead? 💫

Curiosity opens the door to understanding, compassion, and real change. Next time that inner critic speaks up, pause and ask: “Huh. That’s interesting… I wonder what that’s about?” 🌿

It’s amazing how much lighter healing feels when we meet ourselves with kindness.

Over the last 100 years, cheese consumption in America has skyrocketed — from less than 10 pounds per person per year to nearly 38 pounds annually. 🧀

This shift reflects how dramatically our food environment and habits have changed. Cheese went from an occasional ingredient to a daily staple—often hidden in processed foods, restaurant meals, and snacks. Understanding this helps us recognize how easy it is to overconsume certain foods without realizing it.

Nutrition awareness isn’t about restriction—it’s about conscious choice. Small shifts back toward whole, balanced foods can make a big difference for energy, digestion, and long-term health.

Earlier this week, I shared a post about how America’s diet has shifted — especially with the rise of industrial seed oils. 🫒✨

Today, I want to break down a few of the most common oils and what I actually recommend:

🫒 Olive Oil – Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich. Best used for dressings or low-to-medium heat cooking.
🥑 Avocado Oil – Great all-purpose oil with a higher smoke point. Choose cold-pressed when possible.
🌽 Canola, Soybean, Corn & “Vegetable” Oils – Highly refined, often GMO, and pro-inflammatory. These are best minimized whenever you can.
🥥 Coconut Oil – Antimicrobial and great for baking or medium-heat cooking. Rotate with other oils for balance.
🧈 Butter & Ghee – Nourishing and rich in fat-soluble vitamins when sourced from grass-fed cows.
🌰 Sesame, Walnut & Flax Oils – Flavorful but delicate. Use cold in dressings and store in the fridge.

No single oil is perfect — but quality and balance matter. Choose minimally processed oils and mix it up. Your body will thank you. 🌿

True healing isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about coming back into balance. 🌿

The Flourish Way™ is my framework for whole-person wellness, built around seven pillars of health: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, sexual, and financial. When one area is out of balance, the others feel it too. Healing starts when we pause, listen, and begin to restore what’s been depleted.

In my latest blog, I share how The Flourish Way™ helps you unwind what’s not yours, replenish what you’ve lost, and emerge as your most aligned, energized self. ✨

A century ago, the average American consumed just 4 pounds of oil per year. Today, that number has climbed to over 70 pounds. 🫢 Most of that increase comes from industrial seed oils—like soybean, canola, and corn—that now dominate processed foods and restaurant cooking.

These oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids, which in excess can promote inflammation and disrupt our body’s natural balance. It’s one of the biggest, yet most overlooked, shifts in modern nutrition. Choosing more whole-food fats—like olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds, and even a little butter—can help restore balance and support long-term health. 🥑✨

Week 1: Sitting and All-Cause Mortality

This week kicks off my multi-week series on the dangers of sitting — something most of us do more than we realize! 💺

Research shows that habitual prolonged sitting is associated with a 7% increase in all-cause mortality, even for people who exercise. Long commutes, computer time, or evenings on the couch all add up.

I’m not sharing this to create guilt — awareness is power. Standing while working, stretching every hour, or taking short walking breaks can make a big difference for your long-term health. 🌿

Over the last 100 years, the American diet has changed dramatically. A century ago, the average person ate less than 10 pounds of sugar per year. Today, it’s more than 150 pounds. 🍬

That shift alone has reshaped our metabolism, gut health, and inflammation levels in ways we’re still trying to understand. The challenge isn’t just willpower — it’s biology. Excess sugar drives blood sugar spikes, energy crashes, and cravings that make it hard to get back in balance.

I see this every day in my practice — people who are trying to eat well but feel stuck in the cycle of fatigue, mood swings, and inflammation. The good news? It’s not about cutting everything “sweet.” It’s about retraining your body to recognize natural balance again.

If you’re ready to explore how sugar impacts your energy, hormones, and overall health, I’d love to help you uncover the root cause and start feeling steady again. 💛
