Busy moms, this one’s for you.

Even with good intentions, these habits sabotage your gut:

1. Skipping breakfast – Skipping meals triggers blood sugar crashes and bloating.
   
   
2. Relying on caffeine – Temporary energy spikes disrupt digestion and stress your nervous system.
   
   
3. Eating on the go – Multitasking prevents proper digestion and signals stress to your gut.
   
   

Tip: Pick one small habit to change this week—eat a mindful breakfast, drink water before your first coffee, or sit down for one meal without distractions.

Comment below with the habit you’re tackling first this week.

Sunflower, safflower, soybean, canola—all heavily processed, stripped of nutrients, and often oxidized by the time you eat them. These seed oils irritate the gut lining...

If your belly feels more like a firecracker than a peaceful picnic blanket after your summer celebrations, you're not alone.

Between the BBQs, beach days, cocktails, and late nights, your gut might be feeling off—bloated, gassy, uncomfortable, or just... off. As a Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner, I can tell you this is very common this time of year—and it’s not a sign that something is “wrong” with you. It’s a sign your body is doing its best to respond to a lot of inputs all at once.

Let’s break down what might be triggering your symptoms—then talk about what you can do to find relief.

Alcohol is one of the most common gut disruptors. Whether it’s beer, wine coolers, seltzers, or that spiked punch at your cousin’s BBQ, alcohol irritates the gut lining, can cause inflammation, and throws off your gut microbiome. It also reduces digestive enzyme production, which makes it harder for your body ...
