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.

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

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.

Staying dry and odor free on a budget

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!

Yes Please…..

I laugh when people tell me they can’t afford it.

I’m like how can you afford not to??

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.

Making healthy choices

Let me help you make healthy choices!

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

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!
