Glyphosate is in our food.
It’s in our rainwater.
And 99% of the generic glyphosate used in U.S. agriculture is imported.

Even organic produce grown in heavily tilled soil can be nutrient depleted.

This isn’t just about one chemical.

It’s about a farming system that’s dependent, degraded, and disconnected from soil biology.

I just wrote a new blog post breaking all of this down.

If you care about your family’s health and the future of our food, go read it!

Parasite cleansing is normalized in many parts of the world — done a few times a year as simple body maintenance.

But here in the U.S.? We rarely talk about it.

The reality is, exposure is common — through food, travel, pets, and water. Supporting your body with a gentle cleanse can be a powerful reset for digestion, energy, and overall vitality. 🌿

Curious what others are using? 👀

Send me a DM and tell me what you use for parasite cleansing!

When a Super Bowl ad actually educates 🔥

Still riding the good vibes from last weekend’s Superfood Social ✨🌱

I’m so grateful for everyone who showed up with open minds and big curiosity around holistic health, real nutrition, and feeling better from the inside out. These conversations light me up every time.

And I have to say—working alongside Crea and Sonia is such a gift 💚 When passionate women come together to educate, empower, and make health feel accessible and fun, magic happens.

If you missed this one and are curious about superfoods, toxins, functional nutrition, or just want to be in a room full of good energy…

👉 Send me a DM if you’re interested in attending the next Superfood Social.
We’d love to have you 🌿💫

🎬 Virtual Watch Party Invitation 🌍

I’m participating in a virtual watch party on February 15th for the documentary Common Ground, featuring Woody Harrelson, Jason Momoa, and other familiar voices you’ll recognize.

This powerful film dives into something I care deeply about:
🌱 Regenerative farming
🌱 Why our food has lost its nutrients
🌱 How healing the soil can heal people and the planet

If you’ve ever wondered why modern food doesn’t nourish us the way it used to—or what the real solution to sustainable farming looks like—this is a must-watch.

🕊️ Come watch, learn, and be part of the conversation.
Drop the comment “COMMON GROUND” below for details.

We were told to “eat fortified foods” and take our vitamins.

But here’s the part most people don’t realize 👇

Folate ≠ Folic Acid

Folate is the natural B-vitamin found in leafy greens, eggs, and liver.
Folic acid is a synthetic version added to grains and supplements because it’s cheap and shelf-stable.

Most people can convert folic acid into usable folate.
Some people don’t do this efficiently, especially those with common MTHFR gene variants.

That’s where personalization matters.

For some individuals, especially with long-term supplementation or during pregnancy, methylfolate (5-MTHF) may be a better option than synthetic folic acid.

This isn’t about fear.
It’s about informed choices.

Best source of folate?
🌿 Dark leafy greens
🥚 Eggs
🥩 Liver

Your body recognizes real food.
Nutrition should support you — not confuse your biochemistry.

✨ If you’re pregnant or planning to be, talk with a practitioner who looks beyond one-size-fits-all advice.
