2026 Issue #34 Sometimes “moving on” isn’t the same as letting go. Hi Reader, Recently, I was working with a client who was struggling with poor circulation in his legs. During our session, I kept getting a very specific—and seemingly random—impression. “Did you ever work in construction?” I asked him. He looked surprised. Yes. He had. I told him what I was sensing: “I keep seeing your legs taking you somewhere you didn't want to go. You went because you had to, but your heart wasn't in it....

2026 Issue #33 Three weight-loss myths you can finally stop believing Hi Reader, I felt like a diet expert loooong before I ever became a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner! After years of dieting, I honestly thought I'd tried it all. Low-fat. Low-calorie. Fat-free. Counting points. Eating every two hours. Starting every Monday. 🙃 When I finally learned the things that helped me go from a size 14 to a size 4—and more importantly, maintain it—I realized I had to unlearn a lot of what I grew up...

2026 Issue #32 Why Dealing With Stress Actually Matters Hi Reader, When I first started studying Nutritional Therapy, one of the very first things I did was have my minerals tested using a hair sample. The results came back with something I knew but wasn't expecting... My body was under stress. Not emotionally. Not mentally. Cellularly. At about the same time, I also completed a comprehensive stool test. Guess what that showed? Stress. I remember thinking... "How is it possible that stress is...

2026 Issue #31 How a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Stops Sugar Cravings Hi Reader, About a month ago, I noticed something interesting happening at our house. Every night after dinner someone would ask… “What do we have for dessert?” At first, I didn’t think much of it. Then I realized… It wasn’t an occasional treat anymore. It had quietly become an every-night expectation. Sometimes you’re so close to a habit that you don’t even notice it’s become one. That was me. My first thought wasn’t,...

2026 Issue #30 Here's what I look for first when a client can't lose weight. Hi Reader, Before I became a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I would have told you I was the queen of dieting... ...because I was always on a diet. Back when I was a size 14, there were certain foods I had completely written off. Mayonnaise. Bacon. Donuts. 😭 If someone had told me I'd someday be making my own mayonnaise, enjoying bacon without guilt, and even eating the occasional donut, I would've laughed. (Check...

2026 Issue #29 Your Body Knows What It Needs Hi Reader, People often ask me why I started making tea, and my answer usually catches them off guard. Honestly... it was selfish. I didn't start making tea to open a tea business. I started making tea because I wanted to feel better. I wanted to improve my own health and the health of my family. I had pill fatigue from supplement that often seemed just as processed as the pharmaceuticals I was trying to avoid. I started paying attention to the...

2026 Issue #28 From Cornfield to Flower Garden: A Story About Growth and Transformation Hi Reader, I was walking through the U-pick flower and tea garden this week when I noticed something I'd never seen there before. A hummingbird. It hovered from flower to flower for just a few seconds before disappearing into the trees. I stood there smiling because a thought immediately crossed my mind... A few years ago this was just a cornfield. There weren't rows of flowers and herbs with beautiful...

2026 Issue #27 Every Symptom Has a Story Hi Reader, I’m always looking for new ways to help my clients get to the root cause of what’s going on in their bodies. Recently, I trained as a medical intuitive and have been impressed with the results when I use this method for my clients. One of my recent practice clients had struggled with seasonal allergies for years. Every spring his nose would start dripping, he’d feel stuffed up, and some days he didn’t even want to get out of bed. Allergy...
