🌼 Hi, I'm Cassandra! 🌟

🌿 I'm a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and board-certified Holistic Health Practitioner on a mission to help adults struggling with acne achieve clear, radiant skin from the inside out. 🌟

💡 Through education and functional labs, I uncover the root causes of acne and guide you on a journey to your dream complexion. It's all about nutritional therapy, balancing your gut and hormone health, balancing your blood sugar levels, and embracing a holistic lifestyle. ✨

🌱 I'm also the founder of .form, a line of practitioner-grade functional supplements designed to foster resilience from within. 🌅

🌟 RESILIENCE is at the heart of what I stand for. Life's full of ups and downs, and while we can't dodge problems, we can build resilience in our body and mind. 🌈 It's how we transform life's challenges into growth opportunities rather than setbacks. 💪

💑 On a personal note, I've been with my husband since I was 19, and together we're raising 4 amazing kids. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

🌍 Born and raised in a small town just north of Seattle, WA, I made the leap to Boise, ID in 2020. ✈️

🌎 I've been fortunate to explore 13 different countries so far, and there's so much more travel excitement on the horizon. 🌏

🎶 Music moves my soul, sharing meals with friends warms my heart, and my ultimate happy place is lounging in a hammock with my nose buried in a good book. 📚

📸 Follow me for skin-clearing wisdom and stay as I share bits of my life's journey. Let's embrace the beauty of resilience together! 💖

Could your skin problems be connected to your drainage pathways?

Your body is so efficient at releasing waste products, but our lifestyle today looks so much different than it did for our ancestors.

We are constantly assaulted with:
SAD diet
Pesticides/Herbicides
Phthalate & Parabens
Bacterial & Yeast overgrowths
Chronic stress
Underhydration
Lack of sleep
Mold
VOCs
Heavy metals
BPAs
EMFs

No wonder our bodies struggle to keep up with taking out the trash!

The message here is that while we can't always 100% control our exposures, we CAN support our body's ability to eliminate these wastes by keeping drainage pathways open.

Strep throat keeps going around, and it can be absolutely miserable!

Here are some ideas to help your body fight this nasty infection to get you feeling your best FAST!

All of these suggestions are safe and effective for kids as well as adults.

Of course, please note that this is not intended as medical advice. Please speak with your provider.

🌱 Gargle with salt and turmeric water

🌱 It is always best to get your vitamins and minerals straight from food. However, when it's hard to swallow, supplementation can be helpful. "Immune Assist Daily" from Resilient Form includes all these and more!

🌱 Biocidin Throat Spray is a favorite for Strep! It is also easy to take traveling with you. Available on my store at www.resilientform.com

🌱 Throat massage. A very gentle massage with essential oils Luke eucalyptus and lavender that promote lymphatic drainage prevent stagnation and promote clearing.

🌱 Electrolyte popsicles are ridiculously easy to make. I use LMNT electrolyte and pour them into silicone popsicle molds found on Amazon. LMNT is also available at www.resilientform.com

🌱 Olive Leaf Extract has a really bitter taste, but I use this to really target an infection when it begins.

🌱 Have you ever tried the wet sock treatment? When your blood flushes throughout the night, your liver and kidneys can really filter and detoxify the blood. Many find that fevers are gone by morning when using this method.

🌱 I love the Feel Better Fast formula from , and it is appropriate for anyone aged 6 months +

On days when I work out hard, I drink tart cherry juice in the evening.

Not only does it help to reduce muscle breakdown, ease muscle soreness, and speed up recovery...

It also contains melatonin and tryptophan, making it an excellent sleep aid.

I picked this up at Trader Joe's, but you can find it in the juice isle in many grocery stores these days.

It's not as tart as you may expect, definitely not like unsweetened cranbery. It tastes really nice on its own, but you can mix in some magnesium if you'd like as well.

Whatever goal you're working toward, don't forget about the power of visualization.

Close your eyes and picture what it's going to be like when you reach that finish line. What emotion will it carry? How will it change your life?

Having trouble picturing what it would look like to get the right amount of protein in?

Here are some ideas to get you started.

Remember, ideally you want to hit .8-1g protein per day per pound you weigh.

Also, check out my free guide to a healing diet at the link in my bio!

Are you eating protein like a m***a?

Protein isn't just for body builders!

It plays a crucial role in keeping our bodies healthy and functioning properly.

It helps regulate your blood sugar, keeps our immune systems functioning, and our fat-burning muscle growing.

Here are some signs that you might not be getting enough protein.

So, you've been removing toxic personal care and cleaning products, staying away from pesticides, and filtering your water, but still not feeling 100%.

You're on the right track!

The keys to true wellness are:
Remove the bad stuff
Put only the good stuff in

"When you take out the bad stuff and put in the good stuff, the body knows what to do and creates health. Disease goes away as a side effect of creating health." -Mark Hyman, MD

Are you suffering through seasonal allergies?

Here are some tips to keeping the symptoms manageable without pharmaceuticals.

Neti pot - Keep your nasal passageways clear by cleansing with warm saline water using a neti pot. This clears pollens away and helps soothe the delicate mucous membranes.

Nasya - Lay on your back and drip a few drops of nasya oil (Ayurvedic medicated nasal oil) to soothe, AND protect your sinuses.

Diffusing eucalyptus oil can help open the airways to keep you breathing effortlessly.

Garlic - Eat plenty of fresh garlic to stave off infections.

Inhale steam - Keeping your lungs and sinuses hydrated to keep your mucous hydrated and flowing to remove pollen.

Anti-inflammatory diet - Does it sound like I suggest this a lot? That's because it is THE most powerful way to control inflammation in the body (alongside exercise). Eating an anti-inflammatory diet can help reduce hay-fever symptoms you are experiencing.

Local raw honey - Honey is a natural cough suppressant, and naturally anti-inflammatory. Raw honey has active enzymes that help your body break down histamine.

Use an air filter - This helps remove the particulate and pollen in the air. This is a no-brainer but often overlooked.

Acupuncture - After suffering through seasonal allergies and mold illness, it was acupuncture that moved the needle for me. Acupuncture is extremely helpful for treating seasonal allergy symptoms.

Are you a mom who struggles finding the time for mindfulness?

I have found that including my children in simple practices not only helps me to calm my nervous system, but teaches them healthy practices for mind and body.

They will protest the first time.

Probably the second as well.

But, as they begin to feel the benefits they will begin looking forward to it.

My kids ask to breathe and meditate together at nighttime!

Keep trying, Mama!

Do you get fatigue in the afternoons?

Inflammation is responsible for many of the symptoms we commonly experience.

While it is never itself the "root cause" it is important to address in order to help the body heal.

Often, addressing inflammation through nutrition and lifestyle is the FIRST STEP.

NEXT, we address removing the cause of inflammation to truly restore health.

Does this sound familiar?

With how common exposure is to xenoestrogens (see my last post) and processed foods, and high stress levels, estrogen dominance is something I see often in my practice.

If you think this could be you, head to the link in my bio and set up a discovery call!

My Functional Foundations program includes more information about naturally balancing you hormones, and in my Intensive Program we take a deep dive with functional labs (DUTCH) to look at your hormone levels and really see what is happening within your body.

Knowledge is power!

Understanding xenoestrogens and their impact on health is the beginning of taking control of your well-being.

Learn how to minimize your exposure and make healthier choices today!

Taking care of your body is essential, especially when you're a busy mom!

Whether it's a quick walk with your baby or a dance party with your kids, find ways to add exercise into your daily routine.

Not only will it benefit your physical health, but it will also improve your mood and help you tackle the challenges of motherhood with more energy and confidence.

Remember, you deserve to prioritize your self-care too! ❤️
