I’ve been preparing some course material for my upcoming Preconception Group Coaching Program (which launches October 4th!) and I’m always so excited about the incredible role that optimal nutrition plays on preconception health.

Choline is critical for a number of physiological processes during the prenatal period with roles in membrane biosynthesis and tissue expansion, neurotransmission and brain development, and methyl group donation and gene expression.

Making the choice use non-toxic items in the home can be overwhelming to know where to start. It’s important to take baby steps and just tackle one room or area of the house at a time. I always recommend starting with the laundry room since clothes and linens are close to the body.

This is one of the most common questions that I get from clients and followers. And one that I’ve actually been quite interested in myself. I’m in my second postpartum currently and I’m interested to see when my first period shows up this time. With my first, I didn’t get my period back until almost 15 months postpartum. I pumped and nursed throughout my first postpartum period and co-slept through 15 months.

With kids going back to school, it inevitably brings a lot of new germs home. I get several questions a week on my favorite immune-boosting supplements for kiddos and these are a few of them. I recently just restocked our home herb/supplement cabinet with several of these!

It’s that time of year where we are getting all of our supplies for heading back to school. I have made a list of some of my non-toxic favorites and put them all together to make it even easier for you as you get your little ones ready for a new school year! You can check out the complete list that I have on my Amazon Storefront and if I’m missing anything - I’d love to hear about your favorite non-toxic back to school items!

With summer upon us, I’ve been finding new ways to keep us all well hydrated during the warm summer days playing outside, adventuring or gardening. We never got into the popsicle game before moving to the southeast and I have to say… they’re pretty much a summer essential here! I

In an effort to provide more resources for followers and clients, here is my full Non-Toxic Healthy Kitchen Swap Guide for Hormone Health!

Herbs can offer so much healing support and true nourishment. It’s important to try to optimize your vitamin and mineral intake to replenish those lost nutrient stores from birth. This herbal tea is one of my favorite blends to recommend to new moms and those trying to work on hormonal imbalance, mineral support, etc. These three herbs Red Raspberry Leaf, Nettle Leaf and Oatstraw are a few of my favorites and here’s why:

Stress is a huge factor when it comes to healing. Oftentimes when working with clients, we can optimize everything from nutrition, supplements, environmental toxins, etc. but if stress is still high the body will have a difficult time fully healing. Underlying stress can cause a variety of health problems but these are some of the most common symptoms that I see in clients:

With summer just a few days away, it’s officially time to start focusing on seasonal eating for summer. Since we’ve moved back to the southeast, I’ve been blown away by the lush landscape of Tennessee and how FAST things grow here. I wouldn’t say that I innately have a green thumb, but the environment seems to be working in our favor because our garden is thriving! It’s exciting to pull so much produce out of our garden each week. Colter has been getting so excited and keeps saying “he grew it all by himself!”

My son, Colter, loves a good fruit leather or gummies throughout the day and I hate that they can be a pure sugar bomb! I started making these nutrient-dense fruit leathers similar to how I make gelatin gummies and they’ve been a hit! I always use perfect supplements grass fed gelatin because it’s tested for glyphosate and is one of the highest quality gelatin products available. Use code LIVEWILD10 to save on all perfect supplements products!

I’ve had several clients reach out this week asking for recommendations for supporting the body with exposure to wildfire smoke.

When we lived in Colorado, we had frequent exposure to wildfire smoke and these are a few of the things that I like to focus on to support our family. Exposure to wildfire smoke can cause oxidative stress on the body so it’s important to do as much as possible to support the entire family!

Sickness and congestion in pregnancy can be troubling when you feel like you have no idea what is safe to take to alleviate symptoms. Luckily, there are a plethora of natural remedies that can help alleviate symptoms for the common cold and recurring congestion.

It has truly stood the test of time which is why it’s still an incredible resource we still use today. In fact, I find that every client that I have use castor oil packs sees a major shift in their health journey!
