Did I ever imagine myself posting like a 22-year-old influencer? Absolutely not.

I imagined quietly getting people well, expanding my knowledge, and letting results speak for themselves.

But the internet doesn’t reward quiet competence. It rewards whoever shows up the loudest.

And if someone is going to influence women about their health, I’d rather it be someone with actual training, experience, and perhaps more importantly, receipts.

So yes. I’ll post the reels. I’ll say the uncomfortable things. And I’ll keep showing up, slightly embarrassed but deeply committed.

I see this all the time in practice….

Someone cuts out gluten, then dairy, then sugar, and somehow… the bloating is still there.

So they assume they’re doing something wrong, or that their body is just broken.

But here’s what I really think is happening 👇

Gluten and dairy get blamed because they’re easy targets. And yes, they can be an issue. But for a lot of people, they’re not the root cause, they’re just showing up because digestion is already stressed.

Most bloating isn’t about one food, it’s about overall digestive function.

Things like:�• low stomach acid�• poor bile flow�• chronic stress shutting digestion down�• gut imbalances
• chronic inflammation�• a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight

So you can eat “perfectly” and still feel awful if the system itself isn’t working well.

We need a goal that’s bigger than just continuing to shrink your diet.
�Our goal is to help your body actually digest and tolerate food again, ALL FOODS. Not just the “safe” ones.

If you’re bloated no matter what you eat, I promise it’s not you. It’s just that your body needs a different approach.

That’s exactly what we help people figure out every day. If you’re ready to figure out what’s really going on 1) follow us here. And if you really want to get to the root, give us a call at (515) 612-8489 or send us a DM. We’re happy to help. 🫶🏻

I see this pattern constantly.

When the root issue isn’t addressed, the body finds different ways to signal distress.

This is why looking at patterns matters more than chasing individual symptoms.

I’m not here to tell you your body is “broken” or that you’re some unsolvable puzzle.

Most health issues aren’t mysteries, they’re just under-investigated.

When you slow down, zoom out, and actually connect the dots, patterns show up fast, and honestly that’s where we shine.

If you’re tired of being told “everything looks normal” while you feel anything but… we should talk.

I see this constantly in practice.

When stress has been present long enough, the body adapts, and those adaptations don’t always show up clearly on basic labs.

I explained this a little more in the comments 👇

If your mornings look anything like this, your health support needs to reflect reality, not perfection.

What I know you don’t need is someone handing you a 17 step morning protocol, guilt over not meditating at 5am, or a lecture about meal prep and macro counting.

You need care that understands what it’s like to negotiate sock seams at 7am, regulate your own emotions before coffee, and make 100 decisions before most people open their laptop.

If you’re in a season like this, it’s okay to want a care team that understands that health should feel like relief, not another thing to manage.

If this is you, I see you. 🤍

Some people clock out at 5.

I don’t.

Not because I have to — because I can’t not care.

This isn’t a job I tolerate. It’s work I’m relentlessly committed to — the kind that keeps you studying late, refining protocols, and thinking about patients on the drive home.

When it’s a calling, you don’t turn it off.

Come see what this kind of relentless commitment can do for your health.

I may lose a little bit of my clinical nutrition street cred with this one. If I can make one burned out mom feel seen, it’s worth it.

Yes, my kids ate bagel bites on a snow day. Yes, I am still a board-certified clinical nutritionist. Both things can be true.

Here’s what I know after years in practice:

Health is built on patterns. Not one random Friday in February when school is canceled and everyone’s feral by 10:17 am.

It’s built on:
- The 80-90% of meals that ARE balanced
- The nervous system that isn’t constantly on edge
- The mom who isn’t spiraling because freezer pizza happened.

Sometimes the most regulating thing in the house isn’t scratch-made sourdough with organic microgreens.

It’s hot chocolate, a warm ktichen, kids in pajamas, and a mom who’s not turning food into a morality lesson.

I’m not here to teach perfection, I’m here to teach resilience. And resilience includes knowing that one snow day meal is not a nutrition emergency.

If you’re tired of feeling like you have to choose between being “the healthy mom” and the sane one, I’m telling you you’re allowed to be both.

Even with bagel bites on the counter. ❄️

It’s simple, really. My interests include:

* getting people well
* reading about how to get people well
* taking classes about getting people well
* learning new techniques to get more people well
* and gardening, which probably somehow also relates to all of the above

None of this is just a job to me, it’s a lifestyle. It’s all the things I read before going to bed, choose to spend my money on, and what I think about when I’m pulling weeds or driving down the road.

I didn’t stumble into 1,000s of success stories, I obesessed over it. I invested in it every day and spend years working with real people, solving real health mysteries in real life, not just talking about it online.

If you want someone who looks at your health as a mission she is relentlessly committed to, and not just a 9-5 , then you’ve found your team.

Apply to work with us and see what’s really going on.

The key to balancing your hormones when your labs look normal isn’t more labs, another supplement off of Amazon, OR just giving up. It’s fixing what’s actually driving the dysfunction.

☐ Stabilize blood sugar (protein at every meal, no caffeine on an empty stomach) before you touch a single “hormone” supplement.rf
☐ Identify hidden inflammation (gut, immune, environmental)
☐ Stop chasing estrogen and progesterone like they’re the only two hormones on the block.
☐ Address the stress heirarchy (yes, stress comes first)
☐ Fix sleep before blaming perimenopause
☐ Remove inflammatory foods your body isn’t tolerating
☐ Support drainage pathways (think liver + regular bowel movements) so hormones can actually clear
☐ Reduce supplement clutter (more products ≠ more progress)
☐ Look for chronic immune system stress most panels don’t test for
☐ Evaluate mineral status, because hormones don’t run without them

And most importantly: Stop accepting “within range” as a clinical strategy.

If you’re being told “”everything looks normal” but you still don’t feel normal, that’s your sign that something is being missed.

Helping women who feel this way is exactly what we do every day. We don’t guess, band aid or micromanage numbers. We identify stressors, correct what’s most important and let your body take it from there.

If you’re done being told you’re “fine,” it’s time to work with us.

If they haven’t carried what you’ve carried, they can’t map the road ahead.

Whether we’re talking wellness or life, you need people on your team who’ve actually been there and done that.

That’s exactly who we are. Your team who’s been there, done that, and knows exactly how to get you where you want to go.

Your body triages.

It handles what feels most threatening first. Not what’s most annoying, and not what bothers you the most.

What threatens survival.

So when one symptom calms down, it doesn’t necessarily mean you healed. It can mean your body moved on to the next priority.

And if no one actually investigated why your system is under stress in the first place… you’ll keep chasing whatever pops up next.

That’s not random, that’s physiology.

If your body feels like it’s rotating from one symptom to the next, it isn’t healing, It’s compensation. If it keeps moving, it was never resolved.

We are the practitioners who see what others miss. Every day we help women whose symptoms keep shifting finally get answers.
