Did you know that the menstrual cycle is called the fifth vital sign?! Yep, it’s that important! It’s equally as important as our heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and temperature in indicating our current level of health.

How much do you know about your cycle? Because, I knew NOTHING until I started to learn it on my own this past year. NOTHING!

Period problems - heavy, painful, irregular, gone missing? Taking hormonal birth control to regulate your cycles or balance your hormones? Know the difference between progesterone and progestins? Feeling depressed, moody, foggy?

If any of this resonates with you, JOIN US on Tuesday February 11 for the first in a three part series: Know Your Cycle, What’s Normal?

They will lay the ground work for what a normal cycle looks and feels like as well as talk nutritional impacts to your cycle.

If you’ve always had period problems, it’s never too late to start learning and being your own detective. Your period is your fifth vital sign; learn how to read it!

**Winter is coming**

Think you and your family are doomed for endless sickness this winter? 😷 It doesn’t have to be that way!

I help friends and clients all the time build an arsenal to protect themselves from all the germs. Last year was my son’s first year in preschool and we successfully avoided the flu, stomach bug and RSV that seemed to run rampant in his class from October to March! We had some runny noses here and there but nothing that kept him home from school!

This is the most comprehensive list I’ve seen provided by one of the integrative pediatricians here in Charlotte. When I first get people going, I recommend they start with the “foundational four”- good quality probiotic, omega, vitamin D (with K) and Juice Plus. The WHOLE family should be taking this...not just the little ones! (Need advice on brands or want to purchase Juice Plus- let me know!)

Recurring sickness, antibiotics, steroids and fever reducers don’t have to be your normal! Take charge of your family’s health now!! 🍎🍇🍓🍅🥦🥑🥬🥒❤️

Flipping through some old work files and found my weekly pregnancy guides!
When I was pregnant three years ago, I worked with a number of women that were pregnant. I loved learning about the natural alternatives to many things that bother pregnant women.
This time around I’ve learned so much more and I’d say I’m even “crunchier”. Almost halfway done this time around!! 🙌🏼.

My parenting style is largely what you could describe as “trial and error," in which I embrace flexibility and aim to find the methods that work best for my individual kids.But one thing I was never willing to budge on was bedtime and I have absolutely no regrets about it—especially considering ...

A fellow health coach, Jessica Becton Beaver of Foster Wellness Families and I were just talking about at lunch Friday.

If you're having to pop a Zantac after you eat, you probably have an intolerance to one of the ingredients in your meal. Heartburn/indigestion is not normal! Start listening to your body!! Don't know how - ask me!

CVS said it will discontinue sales the popular Zantac heartburn treatment and its own generic ranitidine products from its pharmacies after traces of a known carcinogen were found in some of the products by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
