Embolden Nutrition

Thank you to each and every one of you who support my small businesses in ways big and small.

Whether you have been a client, participated in a group course, referred someone, or simply helped broaden my audience online by liking, sharing, or commenting, I’m SO grateful! 🫶🏼

YOU are the reason that I do what you do! I am so thankful for your continued support, and wherever you’re at on your wellness journey, I’m excited to offer ways to support you.

If you’ve been considering diving deeper into private nutrition coaching, I’d love to chat with you about next steps.

If you’re just getting started, I’d love for you to check out for a huge discount on my new gut health + detox program! This week only!!

CLEANSING/DETOX | CASTOR OIL PACKS SUPPORT GLUTATHIONE​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Looking to enhance your cleanse/detox?! Why not start by supporting your master detoxification agent, glutathione.

We are constantly exposed to thousands of toxins – in the food we eat, the air we breathe, the products we put onto our bodies. We can run but we can’t hide, these toxins are bound to enter our system and glutathione helps to move most (if not all) of these harmful substances OUT.

It can become depleted very easily in the body, and unfortunately there aren’t many food sources or ways to get more of it. Castor oil has been shown in studies to effectively preserve glutathione levels, improving the elimination of toxic substances.

Castor oil packs worn over the liver help promote healthy levels of glutathione to keep your detox mechanisms running smoothly.

I love because they are so easy to apply and wear around the house (or while I sleep!), and there's no mess.

I can't wait to see you LIVE today at 2pm for my How to Optimize your Microbiome webinar with !! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​If you haven't RSVPd yet, there's still time! Head to the link in by bio and I'll see you this afternoon!

Almost 6 years ago, my functional doctor at the time told me that he didn't think my body could maintain a pregnancy. I was deep in gut dysfunction and my diet was reduced to a handful of foods. I still struggled with debilitating pain and migraines each month. I was on over a dozen supplements at the time. He told me that there was nothing else he could do for me.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Yes, the success story I often tell of my health transformation is from the beginning 10 years ago... and yes, I made huge strides in the beginning. But 5 years ago I made a big pivot in taking full responsibility for my own journey when the doctor gave up and I became resolved to HEAL MYSELF.

Motherhood was the reason I needed to be well.

I keep healing through each pregnancy. Each postpartum. I'm stronger with each one. For my babies. Because of my babies.

My healing journey is not wrapped up with a neat little bow, but I'm continuing to make huge strides and I'm thankful that motherhood (with all its challenges) is still healing me.

To all the women healing not just for but because of their children (and future children), Happy Mother's Day.

"eat healthy and exercise"​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"eat less and move more"

"you just need to burn more calories to create a deficit"

Do any of these sound familiar to you? Maybe your doctor has even been the one to give you this "advice."

But as a gut health expert, let me tell you that if you have stubborn belly bloat and other digestive issues, not only is this advice unhelpful, it can actually be making things A LOT worse.

By following this advice you could unintentionally be SABOTAGING your health goals. Chronic dieting, not consuming enough calories, cutting out entire food groups, fasting incorrectly, and overexercising can wreak havoc on your gut MICROBIOME and cause chronic low-level stress on your body that can actually keep you from losing the weight.

Join me and for a free webinar next Tuesday May 16 to discuss the 4 ways that the Microbiome Optimizer program will help you transform your gut health and help you PERSONALIZE your diet, supplements, exercise, sleep, lifestyle... ALL the things, to reach your health goals.

anybody else just here for the guac? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I get it, the name Microbiome Optimizer™ can be a little daunting.​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​I mean, what the heck is a microbiome?

Let me invite you to join me LIVE Tuesday May 16th at 2pm EST to answer this question for you, and even more importantly, why you should want to optimize YOUR microbiome.

You see, I created this unique program to solve a few major pain points that I kept seeing over and over in my private practice:

1. Unresolved/unexplained digestive symptoms. You have been living with chronic bloating, constipation, diarrhea, etc. but you can't figure out why. Or perhaps you have symptoms like skin issues, metabolic dysfunction, or stubborn weight gain and you have a hunch that your gut might be to blame.

2. Curious about functional testing. You've done your research and you're wondering, do I have food sensitivities? Do I have a leaky gut? Do I need a specific probiotic? Can stool testing help me figure this out?

3. Feeling a little left out in the cold. Maybe you've brought some of these questions to your doctor and you haven't gotten a straight answer, they've dismissed you altogether, or perhaps they just don't offer the kind of support that you need.

MICROBIOME​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Have you ever heard of biofilm? It’s this sticky, slimy substance that bad bacteria can produce to protect themselves from being killed off.

Think of the gross stuff that clogs the drain of your sink, the plaque that forms on your teeth or the slimy coating you find on stones in ponds. Now imagine this inside your gut - yikes!

There aren’t many natural substances that have the ability to break down this gunk, but luckily castor oil is scientifically proven to be one of them! Research done in periodontal medicine showed that castor oil was just as effective as conventional denture cleaners at breaking down biofilm in the mouth.

Castor oil packs may also improve the microbiome of the gut by breaking down biofilms produced by bad ‘gut bugs’.

This is why castor oil packs are the PERFECT addition to your Microbiome Optimizer program! I love because they are so easy to apply and wear around the house (or while I sleep!), and there's no mess.

BLOATING AND CASTOR OIL PACKS​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Have you ever been so bloated, you look like you’re 6 months pregnant? Maybe someone even congratulated you on your little bundle of joy, that was really a food baby? So embarrassing…

But have no fear - I’ve got you! My favorite tool to help with a bloated tummy is the castor oil pack. It helps to improve digestion and reduces gas and bloating. Not to mention it helps regulate bowel movements, reduce inflammation, improve detox and balance stress!

Castor Oil packs are a fantastic way to support your gut and open your drainage pathways while you dig deeper into root causes.

Don't know where to start? Check out my Microbiome Optimizer program. We start with testing (not guessing!!) and show you how to personalize the interventions based on what YOUR gut needs.

Drinking responsibly this St. Paddy's day?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So many of my clients think they have to give up coffee to heal their gut, but that's not always the case! I'm more concerned about WHEN you're drinking it and the QUALITY of the coffee itself.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When is best? With or shortly after breakfast (never on an empty stomach), ideally with a little raw milk cream or clean non-dairy alternative and always before 2pm, especially if you have trouble sleeping!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Making the switch to drinking high-quality coffee is one of the easiest swaps you can make to improve your overall health. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
is proudly sources their beans from organic, shade-grown farms that use sustainable farming practices and roast them in small batches to reduce waste and ensure quality. They specifically test for mold and mycotoxins, which is a big deal for me.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When coffee is produced responsibly it is a nutrient-rich superfood packed with phytochemicals, essential minerals, and powerful antioxidant activity. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

Has the fear of experiencing cleansing symptoms like insufferable fatigue, headaches, acne, muscle aches, pains, and overall feeling unwell, stopped you from doing a cleanse or detox? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​If they have, there is a way to prevent them! First and foremost, these symptoms are signs that your body has a lot of toxins and stuff that needs to find its way out.

THEY ARE ALSO MESSENGERS LETTING US KNOW OUR DRAINAGE SYSTEMS NEED SOME WORK.

More importantly, it’s a sign that your body is STRESSED! When we’re stressed, we cannot cleanse.

Castor oil packs are a MUST (and my go-to!) during any cleanse to help with preventing these dreaded symptoms. Not only does the castor oil pack help you cleanse, but it also calms your nervous system down, and switches it into the relaxed state so that you can heal. Castor oil packs also help your body move what needs to come out! You will p**p better, sleep better, cleanse better, bloat less, and stress less… better drainage for better results!

So that you can FEEL BETTER!

I love less mess, heat free castor oil packs. Check them out on my favorites page in my bio or go to https://shop.queenofthethrones.com/emboldennutrition

Maybe you're frustrated because you've been trying to tell your primary care provider about your digestive symptoms and they sent you to a GI specialist, but after a scope or two, you've been sent away without answers.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Maybe you found a functional doctor or have been following a health guru who told you that a certain elimination diet or supplement regimen would solve all of your issues, but now your diet is super restrictive and you're afraid to reintroduce all the things you've cut out. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you've been wondering how to cut the GUESSWORK and know exactly how to identify your root causes AND what steps to take to heal your gut for good, hang tight, because I've got a solution for you. Exciting announcement coming for you TOMORROW!! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

Things have been quiet around here as I've been cooking up some exciting things behind the scenes...​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Stay tuned for Friday's big announcement to celebrate Embolden Nutrition's birthday!! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

Ten years ago today I started my first job as a bedside nurse on a Neurological Intermediate Care Unit. 🩺

I still remember how excited I was to be doing what I loved: helping people recover from traumatic brain injuries, strokes, and seizures. Once I experienced my own healing from migraines through food I began to question everything I was taught in nursing school and started to see healing through a completely different lens. If food could heal my migraines, what else could it do? 🤔

Fast forward ten (!!) years and I have learned SO much and UN-learned so much more. I’m now in the business of helping people heal themselves by listening to them and honoring their lived experience, providing them a different lens with which to view their symptoms and diagnoses, AND then giving them the tools and resources to reclaim their own wellness. ❤️

Functional nutrition was a God-send for me and it has been a tool by which God has used my experience to encourage and support countless others.

As Embolden Nutrition rounds the corner on year three in just a few weeks, I’m humbled by the ways that I’ve been blessed to be a part of so many of your healing journeys as a Functional Nutritionist. Only God knew that those days as a baby nurse were preparing me for something bigger than I could have ever dreamed. ❤️❤️

Anybody else had sick kids this Christmas? 🙋🏼‍♀️ 🎄

Seems like new symptoms always pop up in the middle of the night when everything is closed and I can’t tell you how much better I feel knowing I’m prepared to support my babies at home.

Best additions to my medicine cabinet lately? A *quiet* handheld nebulizer and hypertonic saline for that middle of the night croup. Swipe for a few of my favorites... (refrigerated homemade elderberry syrup and Respiguard not pictured). And of course my old standby, the nose frida (never attempt without loosening that junk up with saline spray first!).

Many of these items can be found at your local pharmacy, Amazon, or discounted from my Fullscript account. DM me for the link!

Christmas came early at the Lawson house! Thank you for such a lovely gift of all our favorite goodies. Check out that beautiful bento box and classy water bottle too!

Clients DM me for a special code for 25% off your first order! 🎄 We love Siete!!

It’s FINALLY HERE!! The program that is a culmination of my 10+ years of personal and professional experience in gut health, now available through in an app with personal health coaching, functional gut testing and supplement recommendations, and 12 weeks of gut-loving content! 🥳

This program is only available through a practitioner, so if you don’t have a functional provider and are interested in learning more, be sure to join my email list so that you’re first to know when this complete program will be available through !

If you’re a practitioner looking for better outcomes for your patients with GI complaints, join us tomorrow on Facebook Live as we walk you through all the reasons why we believe this program is the tool your patients (and your practice) have been missing!

A little behind the scenes look at what I’ve been up to lately! 🎥 I am so excited to be teaming up with on this next project that I will be able to share with you all VERY SOON!! 👏🏼

✨Celebrating TWO years!!✨

What a wild ride these last two years have been. I have been so honored to witness the successes of so many wonderful clients who have entrusted me with their health journey. I have been so blessed to meet and link arms with so many talented colleagues, several of whom have become great friends.

I’ve learned many things through trial and error. Some ideas have worked out great, others were lessons learned the hard way.

I’ve learned so much about myself through this process... particularly because the birth of my first baby and the birth of my business baby were only just a few months apart. It has stretched me and challenged me, and I’m so grateful for those who have come alongside and supported me along the way.

As we anticipate even more changes and growth in year three, I’m super excited to see how the Lord blesses this passion project of mine. I absolutely LOVE empowering people to find healing through nourishing themselves well. ♥️

Happy New Year from Embolden Nutrition!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm starting this year with a renewed passion for what I do, and I want you to know my WHY.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My interest in nutrition is personal, and my mission to inspire vibrant health through personalized nutrition has largely sprung from poor experiences myself and my family have had under the traditional SICKcare model.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It wasn't until I found functional medicine and began exploring root causes that I began to see relief from chronic migraines, allergies, and gut and hormone imbalances.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It wasn't until I discovered hidden infections and explored principles of foundational medicine that I truly understood what it was going to take for my body to finally heal.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am on a mission to make sure that you don't have to figure all of this out on your own like I did. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want to help you get to the root of your symptoms instead of continuing to band-aid them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want to be the encouragement you need to slow down, say no, and take care of yourself mentally and spiritually first, then nourishing your physical body second.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want to be the guide for you that is able to w**d through all of the noise and provide you with a personalized, do-able plan to eat well and feel great. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does this resonate with you? I sure hope so! Let me know in the comments, or reach out by DM to continue the conversation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🎶”The thrill of HOPE, the weary world rejoices!” has been playing over and over in my head this advent as the weight of this world can often feel so heavy. Praying that you will know the peace and joy that comes from knowing Jesus Christ this Christmas. May you find true rest in Him. ♥️ Merry Christmas, friends!

With love, The Lawsons

Parmesan Chicken & Kale Skillet ✨

The Second Annual is in full swing! Five Fall-inspired dinner recipes to spark some inspiration to get back into the kitchen and show you how simple it can be to incorporate into your weeknight meals.

This SUPER simple recipe came together in less than 20 minutes start to finish, and I served it over a bowl of chickpea noodles to coax my toddler to give it a try! 😉

We’ve still got a week to go, and I’ve got 4 more recipes to share! DM me if you’re interested in joining the challenge! It’s not too late!

Have you seen these at your local market? This is the time of year to eat those warm, comforting foods-- think lots of root veggies and crucifers! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Christened our new kitchen this weekend with a big pot of soup and some cookies to celebrate!

Praise the Lord we’re almost done and hooray for Fall! 🍂 Can’t wait to show y’all the before and after! 🤩

Two awesome new books from two inspirational women hit shelves yesterday and I couldn’t be more excited to share them with you!!

I got an early release copy of from my girl and let me tell you, you will relate SO much with her personal journey. Danielle is passionate about using as it has been so instrumental in her healing, and she wants you to know that healing foods CAN and SHOULD be delicious. If you don’t have her cookbooks, you’re definitely going to want to check them out as well!

And then of just released her THIRD amazing cookbook and I think this is her best one yet. She has her roots in holistic nutrition and crafts every recipe with health AND taste in mind. She takes all the guesswork out of planning and fixing dinner, and with this cookbook, dinner is FIXED! 🙌🏼👏🏼

These women and their work have been so instrumental in my own journey both personally and professionally, and their recipes are on regular rotation in my house. I hope you’ll be inspired too. ❤️

Congrats, ladies, on a belated !🥂

Showing up authentically. ✨

I’m in a season of refining. A season of pause to recenter my priorities and digging deep to remind myself of my passion. Leaning into the hard things and allowing them to challenge my perspective on life, on motherhood, on growing a clinical practice and building a business that I love.

To be honest with you, there are so many things going on in my life behind the scenes that I wonder sometimes if I can keep showing up and holding space for my clients when I don’t even feel like I’ve got it all together.

What I’m realizing is that there is so much more value and intimacy in the coaching that I do when I can show up and be vulnerable too.

My kitchen is the heart of my home, my happy place. It’s currently scattered in a million pieces and covered with drywall dust as we plug along on the renovation we started in May. 🤪

Anybody else here feel like it’s hard to keep prioritizing health in the midst of chaos? 🙋🏼‍♀️

My challenge to you is this: keep moving forward. Keep stacking growth. Don’t let your circumstances derail you from your goals.

If you’re looking for a coach who’s got it all together, someone with all the answers, it ain’t me folks. But if you’re looking for someone who will show up and hold space for you to be yourself, to guide you towards uncovering your own root causes of illness and care deeply about what you’re going through, to encourage you when you experience set backs and remind you that healing is a journey, to cheer you on in victories big and small— then I’m definitely your girl. 👍🏼

Are you ready to take that next step and really get to the root of what’s ailing you? ‘Cause I’m here for it.

Cheers to washing dishes in the bathroom sink, and progress over perfection. ❤️

How often do you eat vegetables with breakfast? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Below are some ideas for adding more vegetables to your breakfast, which is my favorite way to get that FIBER you need for digestion and blood sugar balance!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make a veggie-packed omelet or add veggies to your scrambled eggs. Veggies like onions, peppers, spinach, and broccoli work well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Smoothies are a great way to add more veggies like leafy greens, cauliflower, zucchini, beets, or carrots. Feel free to experiment and find different combinations that you enjoy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be unconventional! Try eating something for breakfast that is not a typical breakfast food. A salad can be delicious in the morning, especially topped with a fried egg, loaded with berries, or paired with a savory dish like quiche. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How are you going to increase your veggie intake at breakfast? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
