If you’re like me, you try to eat well and take care of your body. In our home, we eat fresh seafood regularly—truly, as fresh as we can get it! So when I decided to take an Omega-3 Index test, I expected to be in great shape. But my results came back at only 5%. 👉 The ideal range? 8–12% That was a huge wake-up call. Even though I live a healthy lifestyle, my body was still missing something essential—and it may be happening to you too. What Low Omega-3 Levels Can Impact Omega-3s are essential fatty acids your body can’t produce on its own. And they’re responsible…

Are You Really Digesting Your Protein? Here’s How to Tell You’re eating the chicken, the shakes, the eggs… but are you actually using the protein you’re consuming? If you’re a woman in your 40s or beyond, chances are you’ve been told to increase your protein for muscle, metabolism, and energy. And while that’s great advice, there’s a hidden piece no one talks about: 👉 It’s not just what you eat—it’s what your body can digest and absorb. Many of the women I work with are doing the “right” things: eating cleaner, choosing lean protein, maybe even adding collagen or bone broth. But they’re still feeling tired, inflamed, bloated, or like they’re not seeing results.…

Improve Digestion with Soaking Nuts and Seeds Did you know that those healthful nuts and seeds could be wreaking havoc on your digestion? It’s true: nuts, seeds, grains, and legumes contain natural compounds that act as protective inhibitors, making them difficult to digest in their raw, dry form. These inhibitors serve a purpose in nature—they protect the seed until it finds the right environment to sprout. But for us, they can create digestive distress and prevent our bodies from absorbing nutrients efficiently. Why Soaking Matters Soaking is a simple and effective way to deactivate these enzyme inhibitors and anti-nutrients like phytic acid and tannins. By soaking nuts and…

Learning to Relax and Unplug With summer and vacations upon us, I usually experience a few mixed emotions about going home (MI). It's not that I don’t absolutely love seeing my family or being back in the community I grew up in. That is the number one reason I keep coming back. Where I experience a bit of anxiety is in knowing that when I arrive, I am virtually “unplugged”. “Unplugged” means living without cell, email, texting, Facebook, Twitter, etc. There are no hotspots, no wifi, no towers, no bars, no 3G, 4G or any G at all in my mother’s home. At first, I…

Ten Ways to Reduce Stress It seems that now more than ever, many Americans are too stressed out. With work, family, and the economy, it can become easy to feel overwhelmed and consumed by even the smallest of tasks.
