Fiber Friday: Pumpkins!
Couldn’t pass up a Halloween Fiber Friday.

Pumpkins are often thought of as sweet, but they’re actually just as delicious in savory dishes. If you’re buying a pumpkin to eat, skip the big orange carving ones and grab a blue or green heirloom variety like Jarrahdale or Kabocha. They’re denser, sweeter, and have much more edible flesh.

🧡 1 cup cooked pumpkin = 3 g fiber and over 200% of your daily vitamin A
💪 Plus potassium for heart and muscle health and antioxidants that support hormone balance

Don’t forget the seeds! Pumpkin seeds (pepitas) are packed with fiber, magnesium, zinc, and healthy fats that support hormone and mood balance.

Try it savory:

- Roast cubes for grain bowls, soups, or tacos with black beans and avocado

- Stir pumpkin puree into curry or pasta sauce

- Blend into chili for a creamy texture

- Mix into oatmeal, pancakes, or muffins for extra fiber and flavor

And tonight? Just enjoy your Halloween. Eat the candy. Laugh with your people. Let it all be part of a full and joyful life. 🧡

Still reel-ing from the .the.surface.women Summit, so I made my first reel! 😃😉

My top takeaways 👇

1️⃣ The healthcare community in Chattanooga is so sharp, so welcoming, and so passionate about providing quality, expert care for women. The amount of heart in the room was overwhelming.

2️⃣ You must be your best advocate for your healthcare, especially when it comes to hormones and women’s health.
If something feels off and you’re told “everything looks fine,” trust your gut and seek providers who truly listen.
Loved hearing from on this, such an empowering reminder to take your concerns seriously and find providers who do the same.

3️⃣ Improved hormonal health takes a team: Doctors, physical therapist, counselor, dietitian 🤗, and more. Holistic care is worth it because no one provider can address every part of what your body needs.
I met so many wonderful providers and can’t wait to help local clients build strong, supportive care teams.

4️⃣ Pelvic floor physical therapy- wow. 🫢 I learned so much from (also shoutout for the best mug 😂) and about the depth of support they provide. Scheduling an appointment is on my to-do list this week! Also can’t wait to learn more about all that offers.

5️⃣ Beautiful reminder from to slow down and let our bodies and minds catch up to everything we put them through.
Movement is powerful, and not just when lifting heavy, but in walking, breathing, reaching, stretching, and simply being in the moment.

6️⃣ I was also reminded that faith based care has a place in the conversation too.
There are providers (myself included) eager to serve women seeking healing and guidance grounded in both science and Scripture. 🌿
If this is an important part of your healing journey, we are here!

Beneath the surface of so many health, hormone or fertility struggles is a story of resilience🌵, faith, and the desire to feel whole again.
I’m so thankful to be part of this community working toward that together.

If we met this weekend, I’d love to stay in touch or grab coffee sometime soon! ☕️

💬 What was your favorite takeaway from the Summit?

Well aren’t we just so excited to be here! (Yes. Yes we are.) 😁 I’m all set up at the Beneath the Surface Summit! .the.surface.women
Super excited to meet you all and chat about fertility nutrition and all things women’s health. If you’re here at the event, come say hi, grab a Golden Spice Blend, and drop a comment on this post to let me know you stopped by. 💕Can’t wait to connect!”

Thank you for yet another beautiful bouquet for my table, for being my marketing guru, Larry for aaaall my last minute printing needs, and MOST especially my wonderful supportive husband Daniel for filling each spice jar, tying each of those little twine bows and always lifting me up! Couldn’t do this without my people behind me. 🥹🫶
