LYME DISEASE 

It’s known as “The Big Imitator” because its symptoms mimic so many other conditions. Many people go years before getting the proper diagnosis.

As with any illness or autoimmune disease, if the root cause is not addressed, symptoms persist. Here are four common symptoms of Lyme Disease that are often misdiagnosed.

  1. Chronic Fatigue: Taking COQ10 can help rebuild energy at the cellular level.
  2. Brain Fog & Memory Issues: Herbs like Bacopa and brain supplements with Ginkgo biloba, Bacopa monnieri, and phosphatidylserine support recall, concentration and cognition.
  3. Joint & Muscle Pain: Supplements with Turmeric and Resveratrol help to reduce inflammation.
  4. Anxiety & Depression: Supplements with ashwagandha and saffron help regulate stress responses. Too often, people spend years with the wrong diagnosis of depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or stress. Lyme Disease can be diagnosed with a blood test, but if tested at too early of a stage, the test might result in an inaccurate result.

Persistence is key until you get the proper diagnosis!

What’s up with that tiny “e”?

Did you know that the tiny “e” on some products means they meet strict European health and safety standards? I didn’t—and it completely changed the way I look at what our family uses daily.

Europe has banned over 1,300 toxic ingredients from personal care items. The U.S.? Just 11. That’s not a small oversight—that’s negligence.

Even worse, some brands knowingly sell two versions of the same product: one clean and safe for Europe, and one cheap and toxic for the U.S. This isn’t about protecting our health. It’s about padding their profits, while we unknowingly put harmful chemicals on our skin and in our homes.

That ends with us. My family now checks labels, hunts for that “e” symbol, and sticks with companies that don’t compromise safety for savings.

Thankfully, my Wellness store delivers high-quality, American-made, toxin-free products without the luxury price tag. And let’s be clear—this isn’t just a “mom thing” or a “beauty thing.”

Men, you’ve got skin too. You’ve got families too. This is about protecting your future. Swapping out toxic products isn’t a trend—it’s a wake-up call. Once you know better, there’s no going back.

Do you garden?

Gardens love The Wellness Company! I LOVE using my products when I work in the yard or garden…whether as an insect repellant for my body, ant killer, or insect killer on plants. Here are some of my Healthy Garden Solutions:

Hostas
• Spray Tough & Tender on Hosta plants, especially if bugs are eating holes in them. Bugs will be GONE! Hostas will have no damage from Tough & Tender and stay beautiful the rest of the summer!
• Spray Sol-U-Mel on Hostas to keep bugs from eating holes in them.

Tomatoes
• If aphids attack tomato plants or for an infestation, use diluted Sol-U-Mel (one ounce of Sol-U-Mel per spray bottle) and start spraying. The smell is pleasant, and non-toxic to boot. No worries about getting it all over hands and arms or inhaling toxic fumes and it works quickly. Apply Sol-U-Mel solution a few of days later to the aphids that were missed and…no more problems with aphids!

Roses
• Spray diluted Sol-U-Mel on rose bushes to get rid of aphids.
• Spray Tough & Tender on rose bushes to prevent aphids and black spots on the leaves.
• In Spring, to prevent those hard-to-see thrips and browning blooms a spray with Tough & Tender takes care of them. When the roses are setting their first blooms give them a quick spray. Your roses will be beautiful and healthy and you only need to do this one time in the spring.

Ants
• Ants will appear here and there in the garden. You can use undiluted PreSpot, Sol-U-Mel or Tough & Tender on ants. A bucket of water with a bit of product is usually enough to discourage their presence. If it is a large hill additional spraying directly may be in order.

General Garden Use
• Tough & Tender makes a great fertilizer for tomato plants—used it as directed and the plants will thrive!
• For aphids in the garden, for example broccoli-cabbage crops, use diluted Tough &Tender. It is important to be persistent to follow up and check inside leaves to make sure the aphids are all cleaned up.
• Spray patio chairs in the places that earwigs like to hide, and they never come all summer long.
• Spray the entire garden with diluted Sol-U-Mel to ward off pesky bugs.
• Make a spray with one teaspoon of Lemon Brite, one teaspoon of Sol-U-Mel, garlic, cayenne and vegetable oil to spray for slugs and fungus.
• Spray fruit trees with diluted Lemon Brite dish detergent to protect against bugs.
• While in the garden, spray yourself with diluted Sol-U-Mel to keep away mosquitoes and black flies. It is especially effective when going berry picking in the bush.

People always ask me what my secret is, as all my plants seem to do better after being sprayed with the Sol-U-Mel. I tell everyone that they can wash the floor and pour that water in their garden! Really, they ask me? Yes, I say, these products are safe and your garden will beccome amazing! I am so happy that I have something safe that I can use!

Ditch the Diet. Embrace the Lifestyle.

Are you tired of hopping from one diet to the next with nothing to show but frustration and yo-yo results, you’re not alone? Diets are temporary. But a healthy lifestyle? That’s where lasting change lives.

Here’s what I’ve learned—and what I share with the clients I coach:

1. Focus on daily consistency, not perfection. You don’t need to “start over” every Monday. One off-day doesn’t ruin your progress—it’s just life.

2. Make protein and planning your best friends. A simple protein-forward breakfast and a bit of weekly prep go a long way in beating cravings and stabilizing blood sugar.

3. Think beyond the scale. Energy, sleep, mood, and confidence matter just as much—if not more—than a number.

Can we talk about Berberine for a second?

It is not a weight loss magic pill. So please do not compare your health journey to those who have lost weight on the product.

If weight loss is your goal, talk to me about the R3 in combination with the Berberine along with GC Control. 💚

Now here are the benefits of Berberine and why it’s amazing for your health!

Lowering Cholesterol: Taking Berberine regularly appears to lower total cholesterol, “bad” cholesterol, and triglycerides in people with high cholesterol. It works differently from today’s standard cholesterol medications, so it may help treat people who are resistant to other cholesterol-lowering drugs.

Heart Health: People with heart disease often have fatigue and irregular heartbeats. Studies show that taking Berberine combined with standard heart disease treatments reduces these symptoms. Berberine reduced the risk of death from heart disease without apparent side effects.

Blood Sugar Control: Berberine has also been shown to lower glucose levels in people with diabetes. Studies show that it helps your body respond better to insulin and prevents your liver from creating more glucose. As a result, people with diabetes may find berberine helps lower their blood sugar levels.

Lowering Blood Pressure: High blood pressure is associated with heart disease and strokes. Taking Berberine may help lower your diastolic and systolic blood pressure (the bottom and top numbers of your blood pressure reading).

PCOS Symptom Relief: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, can cause problems such as high cholesterol, insulin resistance, and trouble losing weight. In some studies, Berberine helped women with PCOS control their cholesterol, lower their waist-to-hip ratio, and increase their response to insulin.

Weight Loss (how it actually works): While Berberine is not a magic weight-loss pill, it may help people with a body mass index (BMI) over 30 lose weight. Two studies have shown that taking Berberine over the course of three months results in significant weight loss. This may be due to how berberine helps control insulin and other hormones that regulate your fat cells.

Hope this helps. 💚

Having trouble losing those extra 5-10 lbs?

Maybe it’s your blood sugars.

Blood glucose levels and weight management are strongly connected. Constantly elevated glucose levels prompt excess insulin production. As a result, more glucose is stored as fat, and excess fat—especially belly fat—is one major cause of insulin resistance. 

Recent studies hint that up to 88% of all US adults may have some level of insulin resistance, and it can commonly be found in those who are overweight or obese. Maintaining healthy insulin levels allows your body to utilize fat as energy for healthy weight management. A healthy weight supports glucose control and overall metabolic health.

There are natural supplements you can take to help balance your blood sugars:

  • Berberine (a natural compound derived from plants that supports healthy glucose metabolism
  • Milk Thistle (The liver is the primary site for glucose metabolism and milk thistle supports healthy liver cells
  • Chromium (a mineral that facilitates the movement of glucose from the bloodstream to the cells)

There are lots of berberine products on the market. If you need help navigating, let me know. I’m glad to help teach you what to look for.

Sharing is caring
