Right now, in this season, being a working mom, navigating stress, peri menopause, thalassemia, and healing from mold, cardio was not working for me. It left me depleted, not stronger.

So I shifted.

Now:
I’m at my goal weight
I’m stronger than I’ve ever been
I feel more supported in my body

Do I still have belly fat? Yes and it’s frustrating but mold didn’t help it spin me into a hormonal hell!

But this is the strongest I’ve ever felt. And that matters more.

If your workouts are leaving you drained, not energized, this might be your sign to pivot.

Strength training might be what your body is asking for.
The science backs it. Women need it.

Here I am doing a warm up higher rep set but I’m so proud I can do now deadlift 170lbs.
Shoutout to for the home gym and for the swag.

Neck tension, jaw clenching, headaches… this is one of my go-to setups since this is my typical stress pattern.

IceWave patches work by using phototherapy, not drugs,to stimulate your body’s own electrical and energetic pathways. It helps reduce pain signals, improve circulation, and relax tight muscle patterns.

Think of it like this:
→ the WHITE patch “finds” where the body is stuck
→ the TAN patch helps guide the tension away

You’re not just covering symptoms, you’re working with your body’s signaling system to shift the pattern.

This placement is especially helpful for:
• neck + trap tightness
• jaw tension / clenching
• stress headaches
• upper back restriction

DM me “NECK” and I’ll send you my full protocol + how to use it.

Thank you .co for the photo and placement inspiration!

Deep breaths.

Sometimes knowing so much makes it harder when it’s your own kids. I can help others find answers every day, but watching your child struggle brings a different kind of emotion. It’s scary and overwhelming but I also trust that this journey is showing me exactly what they need, just like it once did for me.

Ice cream isn’t bad for you!! It can actually be a staple, especially when you make it yourself. A real ice cream base of egg yolks, milk, and some sweetness provides protein and fat to help balance the sugar. This recipe reflects how ice cream should be made.

We recommend using a Cuisinart ice cream maker (1.5–2 quart) or a KitchenAid attachment. Be sure the insulated bowl is fully frozen, shake it and make sure no liquid is inside before churning.

Serve with olive oil and flaky salt for a savory twist, or keep it classic with fruit, chocolate chips, or sprinkles.
Ingredients
• 5 large pasture-raised egg yolks
• 2 cups raw cream
• ½ cup maple syrup or honey
• 1 cup whole milk (raw, A2, or organic)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1–2 tbsp vanilla extract

Method
Blend all ingredients until smooth.
Pour into frozen bowl and churn until soft-serve consistency.
Add mix-ins if desired and churn briefly to combine.
Serve immediately, or freeze 6–8 hours for a firmer texture.

Aloe vera juice is one of the simplest things you can add for gut + thyroid support.

It helps:
• Calm gut inflammation
• Support the gut lining
• Improve digestion + nutrient absorption

And that matters — because your thyroid depends on nutrients like iodine, selenium, zinc + tyrosine.

There’s even research showing aloe may help lower TSH and thyroid antibodies in some cases.

It also supports:
• Immune balance
• Liver function (T4 → T3 conversion)

Not a thyroid supplement but it supports everything your thyroid relies on.

Morning tip: aloe + lemon + pinch of salt. So yummy and also might help you 💩

A little behind the scenes as I prepped some staples and quick grab-and-go meals for my sister postpartum. Nourishing for mama, but also easy favorites for dad and toddlers, because everyone still needs support during this season.

I made:
→ Breakfast burritos (frozen and easy to reheat in the oven or toaster)
→ Bone broth turned into albóndigas
→ Overnight oats packed with fiber and protein
→ High-protein granola to snack on or pair with Greek yogurt + fruit

I also stocked the fridge with coconut water and simple snacks so everything felt easy and taken care of.

All of these recipes are from my new book “Eating For Life” available for preorder now and coming out this summer.

Neck pain used to be my norm and sometimes it still is but now I have tools that don’t have side effects. It’s a combination of things from computer work, old injuries, surfing, workouts, hyper mobility ... and it would spiral into TMJ/ clenching at night turning into headaches.

I’ve tried everything. Nothing has worked like these IceWave patches. To provide comfort in a flair up.

I slept weird and did an upper body workout; normally I’d be down all day. Instead, I put these on my neck and kept going. No drugs, no chemicals 👎🏻 just light technology that works with your body to turn down pain signals, improve circulation, and support healing.
Most pain relievers just mask symptoms (and your liver, gut, and kidneys pay the price). This is different. You’re supporting your body, not overriding it.

Want my exact neck protocol?

Comment NECK or DM me “NECK” and I’ll send you exactly what to use + where to place them.

How I feed my kids on chaotic mornings: I don’t aim for perfect, I aim for prepared. When someone’s sick, no one slept, or the morning is just rushed, having a few protein-rich options ready makes everything easier.

My go-tos are sausages, smoked salmon + toast, soft boiled eggs, overnight oats, and egg bites.

This is the foundation of success and is what we dig into in our new. Ok Eating for Life (available for preorder)

You are way less likely to reach for quick carbs that don’t actually keep you full and cause blood sugar crashes when you are prepared. Real-life nourishment always wins over perfection and it doesn’t take more than an hour to prep!

Do babies + young kids really need lab work?

This comes up all the time when moms are trying to get to the root cause of what’s going on with their little ones.

In most cases, the answer is no.
We can get so much helpful information from stool and urine testing to build a really solid, targeted protocol.

Kids’ bodies are incredibly responsive. When you support them with the right nutrition and strategic supplements, you often see quick shifts in digestion, mood, immune system, sleep, etc.

There are times when blood work makes sense:
• More complex or chronic symptoms
• Suspected nutrient deficiencies
• When things just aren’t improving
But we don’t always need to jump straight there.
Start with the foundations... kids’ bodies tend to do really well when you meet them where they are.
If you’re trying to figure out what’s going on with your child, I can help you create a clear plan.

Comment KIDS or send me a DM to get started.

I get it, it’s not easy.

In most cases,l parents offer a food once… and never again.

But kids often need 10+ exposures before accepting something new.

So keep offering it.

And more importantly, eat it yourself.
Kids copy what you do.

I find most my clients and friends are lacking in the seafood category. Having tinned fish like sardines, smoked oysters, roe, etc are some of the most nutrient-dense you can give your kids:
• DHA for brain development
• EPA for mood + inflammation
• Minerals like calcium, iodine, selenium
• B12 + vitamin D

Even the bones and skin, that’s where a lot of the nutrition is, watch Cardon eat it right up in the video!!

Your kids are more adventurous than you think.
