When we think about gut health, digestion often comes to mind. But did you know your gut is like the control center for so much more than breaking down food? It’s deeply connected to your immune system, your energy levels, and even how your body handles inflammation. For those living with autoimmune conditions, gut health can play a massive role in managing symptoms and feeling better overall.
Here’s the fascinating part: around 70% of your immune system is housed in your gut. That means when your gut is balanced and thriving, it has the power to reduce inflammation, regulate immunity, and bring much-needed stability to autoimmune symptoms. On the flip side, an imbalanced gut—think too many processed foods, stress, or poor sleep—can trigger inflammation and make autoimmune symptoms worse.
For me, healing my gut was a game-changer. It didn’t just help with digestion; it shifted my energy, mood, and how I showed up in my day-to-day life. And while it wasn’t always easy (hello, lifestyle changes!), the results were worth it. Healing starts in the gut.
If this resonates with you, I’ve got some exciting news. In 2024, you don’t have to navigate your health journey alone. I’m hosting a workshop specifically for those ready to tackle gut health, support autoimmune wellness, and feel better—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Together, we’ll dive into setting personalized health intentions and building a sustainable vision that truly works for your life. No one-size-fits-all approaches here—this is about creating a plan that feels doable, not overwhelming.
So, if you’ve been waiting for a sign to prioritize your health, this is it. Let’s make 2025 the year you take control, heal from the inside out, and feel more like yourself again.
✨ You deserve to feel amazing. Let’s make it happen—together.

Let me let you in on a little secret: peppermint isn’t just for freshening your breath—it’s a gut health hero!
Here’s the deal: peppermint contains compounds like menthol, which work to relax the muscles in your GI tract. This helps food move more smoothly through your digestive system and can ease bloating, cramping, and that uncomfortable, too-full feeling we sometimes get after a heavy meal.
Think of peppermint as a gentle, natural digestive aid that supports your body’s process of breaking down fats and other rich foods. It doesn’t force anything; it simply gives your digestive system the boost it needs to feel better faster.
The best part? It’s ridiculously easy to work peppermint into your daily life:
- Sip on peppermint tea after a meal for a soothing digestive reset.
- Add a drop of peppermint essential oil to a glass of water (make sure it’s high-quality and safe for consumption!).
- One small change can make a big difference in how you feel. Just remember, everyone’s digestive system is unique, so listen to your body and see how peppermint works for you.
✨ When it comes to ingesting essential oils, I only recommend Young Living. Their oils are marked safe for consumption, so you can use them confidently.

Imagine this: You’re starting your journey to better gut health, but it feels like you're piecing it all together on your own. There’s no guide, no one to answer the questions that keep popping up, no friend who truly gets the ups and downs of trying to feel better from the inside out.
That’s exactly how I felt when I started working on my gut health. I was completely on my own. There was no roadmap, no one to ask about all the confusing symptoms, and no one who understood the endless trial and error. I was overwhelmed by all the information out there, unsure what to trust, and constantly second-guessing myself.
I honestly wish I’d had a group back then—a supportive space where I could ask questions, celebrate small wins, and get that extra nudge to stay on track. It would have saved me so much frustration (and Googling!).
But here’s what changed everything: I realized I wasn’t alone. Once I found a community of people who understood the struggles of gut health, everything shifted. These were people who got it—who wanted to talk about probiotics, inflammation, and those little daily habits that actually make a difference.
Suddenly, I didn’t feel so isolated. Having a group of like-minded individuals made all the difference. Together, we could share tips, cheer each other on, and even laugh through those awkward, TMI gut-health moments. It wasn’t just me tackling this huge goal by myself anymore; it was us, working toward healthier, happier lives.
If you’re feeling stuck or alone in your gut health journey, I want to encourage you to find your people. Whether it’s an online group, a local meet-up, or even a friend who’s interested in improving their health, having a supportive space can completely transform your experience.
Gut health isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey, but it’s one that’s so much easier (and honestly more fun) when you’re not doing it alone. Let’s build each other up, share what works, and remind ourselves that we’re all in this together. Because feeling good from the inside out? That’s something worth celebrating—together.

We’ve all been there—those days when your mood is swinging like a pendulum, your energy is in the negatives, and “that time of the month” feels like it’s sneaking up on you, ready to wreak havoc. It’s frustrating, exhausting, and let’s be honest, sometimes it feels like your body is running the show.
But what if I told you there’s a simple, natural way to support your hormones and take back some control?
Yep, I’m talking about essential oils.
I know, I know—essential oils can seem like a trendy buzzword. But hear me out. These plant-based powerhouses have been used for centuries for a reason—they work. When it comes to hormones, a few specific oils can do wonders for balance, stress relief, and overall well-being.
My Top 3 Go-To Oils for Hormone Support
- Clary Sage: This oil is a game-changer for hormone health. Clary sage is known to help balance estrogen levels, which can be a lifesaver if your hormones feel like they’re running wild. Whether it’s that time of the month or just daily hormonal ups and downs, this oil can offer some much-needed support.
- Lavender: If you’re feeling stressed (and who isn’t?), lavender is your best friend. Stress can wreak havoc on your hormones, and lavender helps calm your mind and body, reducing cortisol levels. It’s also fantastic for sleep, which is essential for overall health.
- Frankincense: This oil is a multi-tasker! It promotes emotional balance, reduces inflammation, and supports hormone health. Think of it as the glue that holds everything together when your body feels out of sync.
You can diffuse these oils, apply them topically (diluted with a carrier oil), or even add a few drops to a warm bath for a relaxing, hormone-supporting soak.
If you’ve been looking for a way to feel more in control of your hormones—without turning to chemicals or invasive treatments—these oils might just be the natural solution you’ve been searching for.
Ready to try them? Trust me, they’ve been a game-changer for me, and I can’t wait to hear how they work for you!
PS - I only recommend using Young Living essential oils!

As busy moms, we’re constantly juggling the never-ending to-do list, from kids' activities to work and everything in between. It’s easy to feel like we don’t have time to focus on our own health—especially when it comes to gut health. But here’s the truth: taking care of your gut doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. You can incorporate simple, nourishing snacks that support your digestion and keep your energy levels steady throughout the day.
Here are some of my favorite gut-healthy snacks that are easy to whip up and perfect for those on-the-go moments:
1. Organic Yogurt with Chia Seeds and Berries
Yogurt is packed with probiotics, which help promote healthy digestion by supporting the good bacteria in your gut. To take it up a notch, toss in some chia seeds for added fiber, which keeps things moving, and top it off with antioxidant-rich berries. This combo is a delicious way to keep your gut happy and your energy steady.
2. Apple Slices with Almond Butter and Cinnamon
Apples (especially with the skin on) are rich in fiber, which is key for digestion. Pairing them with almond butter gives you healthy fats, while cinnamon adds flavor and an anti-inflammatory boost. It’s a simple, tasty snack that hits the sweet spot while also being great for your gut.
3. Homemade Trail Mix with Walnuts, Pumpkin Seeds, and Dark Chocolate
Walnuts and pumpkin seeds are high in omega-3s and fiber—two nutrients that your gut loves! And let’s not forget about dark chocolate, which contains polyphenols that act as probiotics, feeding the good bacteria in your digestive system. This trail mix is easy to prep and can be stored in small bags, making it a perfect snack to grab as you head out the door.
4. Carrot Sticks with Hummus
Carrots are a great source of prebiotic fiber, which helps feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut. Pair them with hummus for a dose of healthy fats and protein that will keep you fuller for longer. This snack is not only good for your gut, but it’s also super easy to pack in lunchboxes or munch on while multitasking.
5. Kefir Smoothie with Spinach, Banana, and Flaxseeds
Kefir is a probiotic powerhouse, full of good bacteria that support digestion. Blend it with spinach for extra fiber, a banana for prebiotics, and flaxseeds for those gut-loving omega-3s. You can also swap out the kefir for organic coconut yogurt if you prefer a dairy-free option!
With these easy snack ideas, you can support your gut health while still managing the chaos of motherhood. You don’t have to sacrifice your well-being just because life gets busy. These snacks will keep you fueled, nourished, and feeling your best!
So the next time you're hungry, skip the processed snacks and give one of these gut-friendly options a try. Your body (and your gut) will thank you!
