Balancing Your Blood Sugar Like a Babe

In this week’s episode, I’m taking a bit of a detour from my regular topics!

I’m sharing all about why a Christian Health Share has been a great alternative solution for my family rather than traditional health insurance. I break down the reasons it has served us well and why I love making this investment for my family. I hope this episode is helpful if you are thinking about making the switch for your family!

Sunlight Is a Nutrient: Why Getting Outside Matters for Your Metabolism

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve tried everything to clear your skin—with little to no results—this episode is for you. I’m sharing my personal story of struggling with cystic acne from my teenage years through early adulthood, and how I accidentally healed my skin when I stopped trying to fix it directly and started focusing on my overall health instead.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

 * Why conventional treatments never gave me lasting relief
 * The surprising role your metabolism plays in your skin health
 * What happened when I started eating enough food—and the right kinds
 * How liver health, sunlight, and even raw carrots supported my healing
 * My current minimalist skincare routine (think: beef tallow, not benzoyl peroxide)

If you’re on a healing journey and feel like your skin just won’t cooperate, this is a reminder that skin is a reflection—not a root cause. Let’s talk about the foundations that changed everything.

How I Healed My Acne Naturally (Without Harsh Products or Pills)

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into a hot (and often controversial) topic: seed oils—also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)—and the serious impact they have on your body and your healing journey.

You’ll get a mini crash course on metabolism (spoiler: your thyroid is the boss), learn how every system in your body is connected, and why what you eat affects so much more than your waistline.

We’re breaking down:

 * What PUFAs are and why they’re harmful
 * How they mimic estrogen and stimulate oxidative stress
 * The damaging effect they have on your thyroid and gut lining
 * Why even “healthy” packaged foods aren’t always safe
 * The real reason metabolism matters for healing and hormones
 * Simple, practical swaps to ditch PUFAs and nourish your body with real food
 * How to find balance so that food doesn’t feel like the enemy

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by oil labels or confused about what’s actually “healthy,” this episode is for you. Let’s clear the confusion and get back to basics—so you can feel better, think clearly, and support your body the way it was designed to thrive.

The Truth About Seed Oils and Why They’re Wrecking Your Health

In this episode, we’re getting real about what true healing actually takes. Spoiler: it’s not a quick fix. Healing—especially metabolic healing—requires honesty, patience, and a willingness to play the long game.

You'll hear why it's crucial to be brutally honest with yourself about your daily habits—from how you eat and move to how much sunshine you get. We talk about how real change starts with data, not feelings. Because when you have real markers to work with, you can take the emotion out of it and start making intentional, effective shifts in your lifestyle.

We’re breaking down:

 * How to assess your habits with honesty (no shame, just truth)
 * The importance of slow, steady changes over quick fixes
 * Why everyone’s path to healing looks different—and should be tailored to you
 * How tracking your progress can help you stay grounded and patient

True Healing Requires Patience

Why is it harder for some people to conceive, even when you’re doing everything right? In this episode I dive into the topic of fertility and conception. I discuss why conception is a true miracle that can only be explained supernaturally and offer some encouragement for the woman who is struggling with infertility. I hope this encourages you to trust in God’s plan for your health and treat your body well as you work toward generational wellness.

When You’re Struggling To Conceive

As I was talking about releasing the victim mentality last week, I felt it was important to talk about another mental pattern that may be affecting your healing: judgement. Every minute you spend judging others’ choices, is a minute that could have been spent in self reflection. My hope is that you begin to feel mentally AND physically lighter as you learn to release the spirit of judgement and gossip.

Releasing Judgement for your own Sake

In today’s episode I’m approaching the topic of wellness from a different angle: your mind. What does it mean to have a victim mentality, how is it affecting your health, and how can you change it? My goal this week is not to make you feel shame or guilt, but lovingly point out something you might not have considered before. Tune in to see if this simple mindset change can take you from just surviving to THRIVING in your journey!

Are You Stuck in a Victim Mentality?

We've been lied to about our health and wellness. We’ve been told that smaller portions and trimmer bodies are better. That a little white pill will fix all of our problems.

What if I told you there was a better way?

Come on in and get ready to learn how to flourish in your womanly frame. Join me weekly as we talk about what true nourishment looks like for a woman. We will discuss how to support your metabolism, hormones, and fertility holistically through food, lifestyle, movement and more, giving a deep respect for the female physiology.

It’s time we stop relying on other people to tell us what to do for our bodies and take radical responsibility for our health as women. It's time we eat like a mother.
