There’s a lot of buzz about “Nature’s Ozempic” lately. Let’s talk about it! Ozempic, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mimics a hormone your body naturally produces to regulate appetite, blood sugar, and digestion. It’s effective for many people, but it’s not a cure-all. Once you stop using it, you might find yourself back at square one unless your body is…

It’s so easy in a world where we're frequently told to push through pain, ignore discomfort, and "suck it up.” Think about this: how many times have you felt something was wrong, only to be told, "You're fine, you're just tired," or "That’s normal for women"?

I’ve lost count of how many times someone has labeled me a “witch doctor.” It’s almost a weekly occurrence, and while it used to bother me, now I find it more amusing than anything else.

Castor oil packs, castor oil for acne, castor oil laxatives, castor oil for hair growth… is it worth the hype?

You’ve heard the mantra “hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.” We try to hit half our body weight in ounces per day, right?

For example, athletes and individuals who sweat a lot lose not just …

What’s the big deal about gluten? I’ve been gluten free for many years and in many ways it saved my health, but let me give you some background.

Gluten can trigger a severe autoimmune response (celiac disease) or other unpl…

I didn’t always love coffee. Shocking, I know! I didn't even like the smell of it until after I had my second child.

Is that my trauma speaking? Trauma is like a big, unchewed ball of food stuck in your brain, preventing you from moving on.
