Enhancing Lives

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.

Ready to stop starting over?
Let’s talk about how to make healthy living simple, sustainable, and actually enjoyable.

Comment “Ready” or send me a message—I’ll meet you right where you are.

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

Asking me to stop sharing about health and wellness is like asking me to abandon my core values — it’s simply not an option. These issues are too important, and people need to wake up. I’ll keep speaking out until they do.

Another reason I’m obsessed with my Wellness store!! Non-toxic deodorant for $5.49— it smells amazing and keeps me and my family dry!

I’m like how can you afford not to??

I’m thrilled to say I’ve avoided the DIY lip balm route for 21 years thanks to Sun Shades lip balm. It’s always kept my lips hydrated, so chapping is never an issue. I purchase three for $6.57 at my favorite Wellness shopping club.

It comes in many different flavors and here are a few of the choices:
Sun Shades® Lip Balm: Piña Colada
Sun Shades® Lip Balm: Cranberry Tangerine
Sun Shades® Lip Balm: Mountain Mint
Sun Shades® Vanilla Bean

Oh yeah, I don’t sell these, However I can show you where to get them. Just contact me to find out how!

Creatine For Women Over 40

Creatine has thousands of studies behind it showing tons of benefits ranging from brain health and muscle recovery.

Look at what it can do for you:

  • Sharper Mind: As estrogen declines, so can memory and focus. Creatine may help improve cognition and reduce brain fog.
  • Stronger Muscles: Women naturally lose muscle with age, especially postmenopause. Creatine helps maintain strength and mobility.
  • Stronger Bones: Paired with resistance training, creatine may boost bone density and help prevent osteoporosis.
  • More Energy: It helps the body use energy better, reducing fatigue and improving recovery.
  • Mood Support: Creatine may help reduce feelings of depression and anxiety, improving overall mood.

I incorporate this into my post workout routine, in a mix that has all nine essential amino acids, polyphenols, and magnesium and it tastes great (yay)! As you can see from the list above, you don’t have to work out to benefit from creatine. Perhaps consider this to your daily regimen!

Love this new Harvest Pure.

When you buy fresh produce, how do you wash it? Many of the pre-packaged fresh vegetables are labeled that they have been washed, That includes the re-cut vegetables too.
Well, I tried this new product, Harvest Pure to clean my lettuce before making my salad. My lettuce was labeled that it had been washed. Well, here’s the result of washing my lettuce with Harvest Pure—this is the dirt residue.
When you know, you know.

“Most store-bought coffee contains mycotoxins—toxic compounds produced by certain molds that grow on coffee beans during harvesting, chemical processing, and storage. As of 2025, many big-name coffee brands don’t publicly disclose whether they test for mycotoxins. Hmm… weird! I wonder why?
So instead, I found a USA-based brand that actually tests for mycotoxins—and you better believe their coffee is 100% MYCOTOXIN-FREE! Plus, [being a USA company is] local enough for me.“

One whole bag of this goodness is just $11.49—100% worth it!

Let me help you make healthy choices!

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a condition characterized by extreme tiredness or fatigue that doesn’t improve with sleep. It can often be misdiagnosed as depression which leads to improper prescribed anti-depressants.

Who is at risk for Chronic Fatigue? The top seven risk factors for chronic fatigue syndrome are:

  1. Women between the ages of 30 and 50.
  2. Being overweight
  3. Being inactive
  4. Having allergies
  5. Depression
  6. A stressful life
  7. Exposure to toxins

Technically, there is no cure, but there are steps you can take to address it. First, however, you have to know the root causes of CFS.

Root Causes of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Here are some common culprits of CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome):

  • Viral, bacterial, or parasitic infections
  • Epstein-Barr virus
  • Heavy metal, toxic chemicals or mold 
  • Unhealthy digestive system and gut microbiome
  • Thyroid issues
  • Immune conditions
  • Adrenal exhaustion 
  • Hormonal Imbalances
  • Inflammation 
  • Mitochondrial dysfunction
  • Nutritional deficiencies 
  • Hypertension 
  • Mental stress

Pretty big list, right? So it’s important to not “self diagnose” an issues that’s not there. 
If you do have a proper diagnosis, here’s a few steps you can take to feel better:

  1. Eat a well balanced diet
  2. Consult about proper supplementation. Chances are you are deficient in more than one area
  3. Exercise within your limits
  4. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day

As always, I’m here to help in any way I can!

My world just got clearer!
