Let’s talk about how to make a protein shake at home! I love protein shakes. Every morning, I indulge and start my day with a protein shake that is both delicious and packed full of amazing nutrition. But not everyone enjoys starting their day with the same thing in the…
Despite what you’d like to believe, your skin is not sterile. Nor should it be! There’s an entire microscopic world living as part of your skin microbiome. And that’s a good thing. So ditch those anti-bacterial soaps and hand sanitizers because, without that skin microbiota, you put your skin at…
Everyone’s stressed out. And I’m willing to bet good money that until now, you’ve probably managed to muscle your way through it. You put on a strong, brave face, right? I get it… I’ve got plenty of clients who do that daily. Heck, I’ve used that method myself for many…
If you’re suffering from dry, itchy, flaky skin or have psoriasis or eczema, you probably haven’t thought about how your thyroid is involved. Why would you?

I expected my very first holiday being gluten free to be a total bust. At the time, I didn’t have any strategies or gluten free holiday tips to rely on. Instead, I expected to hit a bunch of “speed bumps” pretty hard. Yes, I was embarrassed by a relative who mocked my diet…
Christmas is right around the corner. Have you figured out what gluten free Christmas recipes you plan to make? It can certainly be tough if you still miss those traditional recipes that are now off limits. What’s worse is watching everyone else eat them because you didn’t think (nor plan)…
“Another rash? Ugh.” I said out loud peering at the back of my arm. I was beginning to feel like a walking billboard loaded with these red, scaly patches of skin. People would stare. Some asked if I had ringworm (which can be contagious). I stopped wearing clothing that would…
