My FREE 3-Day Gut Reset is available for download via the link in my profile. It’s all about consuming more cooked foods, blended soups, broths, smoothies, and fresh juices, all foods that are much easier on the gut to digest, give the gut a bit of a break, support a healthy gut lining, and feed the good bacteria for a balanced microbiome. Below are a few reasons why you would consider my 3-Day Gut Reset:

✅Introduction to heal the gut: Starting with a less restrictive gut healing protocol is a great place to ease into more of a gut healing diet and lifestyle. By including gut healing, supportive foods and suggested supplements, you can ease your way into more of a gut healing diet without so many restrictions.

✅Improved digestion: My 3-Day Gut Reset is designed to reduce bloating and digestive discomfort by including easily digestible foods such as blended soups. It also aims to promote gut healing. Additionally, I make a few optional supplement recommendations that will help break down foods, making it easier for the body to absorb nutrients and reduce digestive distress.

✅Travel reset: My 3-Day Gut Reset is my go-to plan after traveling or even after the holidays because it helps get things back on track when you’re off your normal diet and routine.
Immune boost: Support your gut, where most of the immune system is located, by eating nourishing foods.

✅Gut cleanse: Sometimes, the most effective cleanse involves supporting the body’s natural gut, elimination, and detox processes.

✅Eat clean: It’s beneficial to spend time eating clean, eliminating junk, and adding more nutrient-dense, nourishing foods now and then.

Are you getting adequate fiber?

Many people are unaware that the lack of fiber in their diet can be as harmful to their gut as consuming foods high in sugar and processed foods. It is recommended to consume 25 to 30 grams of fiber daily. Unfortunately, the average American adult only consumes about 15 grams of dietary fiber daily, which is only half the recommended amount. Below are a few ways lack of fiber intake negatively impacts the gut:

✅Starves the microbiome: The good bugs in the gut thrive on fiber. Fiber is their food and primary fuel source, and without it, they cannot survive.

✅Weakens gut lining: When the good bugs don’t have fiber, they either die or start eating away at the gut lining, which allows toxins to seep into the system, leading to further health complications.

✅Overgrowth of pathogens: More pathogenic and harmful bacteria flourish when beneficial bacteria do not get proper nutrients to live. This prolonged overgrowth of pathogens in the gut is the root of countless illnesses.  

✅Impairs digestion: You need fiber to digest fiber! The beneficial gut bacteria help break down certain fibers so they can be more easily absorbed into the system. When diets lack fiber over time, it can become more challenging to incorporate fiber back into the diet.

To help get more fiber into your routine, try adding at least one source of fiber with each meal. Also try incorporating different forms of fiber from veggies to beans and grains like wild rice. If the gut has a hard time digesting fiber, you might start with more blended soups and supplementing with a digestive enzyme, this makes it much easier for the gut to digest.

Oral Health is important!
White River Dental Hygiene, PLLC

In 2024, approximately 58,450 Americans will be diagnosed with oral or oropharyngeal cancer. That’s 160 every day and close to 7 Americans every hour ~ in 5 years only a little more than half of those diagnosed will have survived this horrific cancer.

Here's to the " she's a lot" women ❤️🙌✨️

If I even had a penny for all the times I have been AND am going to be called "a lot", I would be worth millions.

So yes, they say I'm "a lot" – and they're absolutely right. I am a lot of passion, a lot of strength, a lot of talent, and a lot of heart.
I am a lot of laughter, a lot of resilience, a lot of ideas, and a lot of love.
Being "a lot" means I have a lot to offer to the world, a lot to share with others, and a lot to be proud of.
So here's to all the women who have been called "a lot" – may we continue to be a lot of wonderful, a lot of inspiring, and a lot of fun!

The gut should always be the first place to start when thinking about maintaining optimal health. However, if you’re curious about whether or not you have underlying gut issues to heal, here are a few signs you may want to look for:

✅Digestive issues: Digestive discomfort especially after meals as well as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and an inability to digest foods can indicate a compromised gut. A great place to start is by supplementing with a digestive enzyme like my go-to No Bloat from to help break down foods while incorporating more easy-to-digest foods like blended soups.

✅Nutrient Deficiencies: Your body absorbs nutrients from foods through the gut lining. It’s not always that your body isn’t getting enough nutrients, rather, when the gut lining is compromised (aka leaky gut), foods are not properly absorbed which can lead to nutrient deficiencies.

✅Food Cravings: Cravings for unhealthy foods like sugar and even starchy carbs like noodles and bread could potentially be the pathogens in the gut talking (often Candida), telling your brain what they need to eat. Generally, if you work towards feeding the good bacteria by reducing processed foods and consuming more fiber, your cravings may subside.

✅Chronic Infections & Illness: Nearly the entire immune system resides in the gut so taking a daily probiotic to populate the gut with beneficial organisms, adding in more fiber to feed the good bugs, as well as drinking plenty of water throughout the day and reducing processed foods and sugar (this feeds the pathogens) can all help to strengthen the gut and boost the immune system.

✅Food Sensitivities: Often sensitivities stem from a permeable gut lining, allowing foods to seep into the system where the body recognizes it as foreign and attacks. Generally, once we heal the gut lining, we can reverse many of these food sensitivities.

I recently launched my FREE 3-Day Gut Reset with sharing my plan for eating foods that help support the gut for three days. The diet includes cooked foods, blended soups, broths, smoothies and fresh juices, all foods that are much easier on the gut to digest, give the gut a bit of a break, support a healthy gut lining, and feed the good bacteria for a balanced microbiome. You can access my free e-book by clicking the link in my profile. Below are a few reasons why you would consider my 3-Day Gut Reset:

✅Digestive troubles: My 3-Day Gut Reset helps ease bloating and digestive discomfort by incorporating foods that are much easier on the gut to digest like blended soups as well as healing the gut. Plus, I encourage supplementing with a digestive enzyme to help break down foods so they’re more easily absorbed, also helping to reduce digestive distress.

✅Gut cleanse: Sometimes the best cleanse is simply supporting the gut, the body’s own natural elimination and detox pathway.

✅Post-travel: My 3-Day Gut Reset is my go-to plan after I travel or even after the holidays because it helps get things back on track when you’re off your normal diet and routine.

✅Immune boost: Nearly the entire immune system is located in the gut so what better way to help boost the immune system by sending a little love to the digestive tract.

✅Intro to heal the gut: If you’re thinking of implementing a more restrictive gut healing protocol, starting here is always a great place as you’re including foods that are more supportive of the gut and will get the body familiar with more gut healing nutrients like broths and digestive enzymes for additional support, two things that might be recommended in a gut healing protocol.

✅Eat clean: Now and then it helps to dedicate some time to simply eating clean. Cutting out the junk, incorporating more nutrient-dense, nourishing foods.
