If so, know that I understand and I've got your back with simple supplements and powerful lifestyle shifts.
Let me guide you through this journey personally as someone who has navigated myself and spent nearly two decades educating myself to help others make simple sustainable, and most important, impactful shifts to feel better.
Hey there! I'm absolutely thrilled that you've found your way to my corner of the digital world. Get ready to embark on this wellness journey together because, trust me, it's going to be nothing short of amazing!
​
My mission? I want us to revel in feeling absolutely incredible in our skin, no matter our age or our size, and to empower each other as we navigate the different seasons of life and aging. You and I both know that too often our health concerns get brushed off as mere consequences of aging, as if it's all supposed to be "normal." But let's set the record straight – normal isn't the same as optimal! Just because something is common doesn't make it normal. I'm want better for you!
​
We're aiming for comfort, confidence, and a deep connection with our bodies at every stage of life. And guess what? We can achieve that by using tools that not only heal but also repair, prevent, and support our body's natural functions, especially those ever-evolving hormone needs as we age. It can be frustrating when all you're handed are 'band-aids' for symptoms without addressing the root cause – that's where I come in to guide you!
​
Enter my game-changing "VITALITY ROUTINE" – a wellness trio curated from "Hugh & Grace." Trust me, I've done the legwork (tons of it!). This is what I use on my personal perimenopause journey and with so many of my private clients. So, buckle up as we explore the layers of self-care and nourishment together. Let's make now feel even better than a decade ago – sound like a plan?
SUPPLEMENTS WORK WHEN THEY'RE TRULY SUPPLEMENTAL!
Let's peel back the curtain on the secret sauce behind my transformative "ROUTINE". Supplements are often oversized. Trying to replace good habits with something that can be bottled. I would call myself a conservative when it comes to supplementation. But it can be incredibly effective when done right. Buckle up as we explore why these little wonders have become the backbone of my wellness journey and why they deserve a prime spot in yours too! For the past fifteen years, I've poured my heart and soul into guiding individuals toward their healthiest selves, putting a spotlight on the game-changing benefits of supplementation and whole-food nutrition paired with simple lifestyle swaps that allow you to still live & enjoy each day!
Our bodies are waging a daily battle against an army of stressors – environmental, emotional, technological, and notably, nutritional! These stressors throw our systems into overdrive, making it increasingly challenging for our bodies to do what they do best – maintain optimal wellness. It's like our internal mechanisms are constantly playing catch-up, struggling to obtain the nutrients, minerals, and vital elements necessary for our well-being.
Nutrient-depleted soil, the influx of processed and genetically modified foods, reliance on over-the-counter medicines, the surge in prescriptions, and an overtaxed nervous system form a complex web of health challenges. These factors compound over time, wreaking havoc on our well-being. And here's where the heroics of safe and efficacious supplements come into play. They're the linchpin in fortifying our body against the onslaught of modern-day challenges.
DELIBERATE SELECTION
In the vast ocean of supplement choices, my discerning approach is the compass guiding what I allow into my body. Hugh & Grace isn't just a supplement brand; it's a harmonious fit with my values, earning its spot in my daily health routine and supplement lineup. Forget the allure of quick fixes or trendy solutions – what we're embarking on is a thoughtful journey grounded in functional medicine principles and a dedication to bolstering the body's natural processes. It's about genuine healing, not merely suppressing symptoms or triggering new ones.
​
Enter: The Routine. This bundled trio features Hydrate & Detox, Marine Collagen, and the AM Supplement, strategically crafted to assist you in establishing a morning routine that regulates hormones and supports your entire system. Now, let me dive into the wonders of each of these game-changing, hormone-safe supplements.
​
I explained in depth the synergy of these 3 supplements and why they are such a powerful tool in our hormone and gut healing journeys to so many clients. The video below will help you understand just how intelligently this routine is curated and why I'm such a fan personally and professionally.
BETTER SKIN • BETTER HAIR • BETTER NAILS • BETTER JOINTS • BETTER BONES • BETTER YOU
Let's kick off with a supplement that has been diluted into just a beauty supplement, when it's actually an extremely effective wellness supplement when done right – the Marine Collagen Peptides. In a field flooded with collagen products and remarkably lacking in regulations (no FDA requirements for testing, standards, or efficacy), this one stood out to me for its exceptional quality & transparency.
​
While many brands pitch collagen solely as a beauty supplement, it's so much more – it's a true wellness supplement! Unfortunately, many options on the market focus only on Types I (and sometimes III) collagen, loaded with fillers, flavors and heavy metals. Finding a choice that includes all three collagen types and extends benefits beyond just hair, skin, nails, to our internal tissues like joints, ligaments, pelvic floor tissue, lining of our arteries - is rare.
​
Enter Hugh & Grace's Marine Collagen, a standout in the crowd. This beauty includes a blend of Types I, II, and III collagen sourced from 100% pristine Japanese Cod. No shortcuts, no compromises. The cod is farm-raised, ensuring a controlled environment and a diet shielded from ocean pollution, mercury, and more. With the testing to prove it!
​
But wait, there's more! Beyond the promise of stronger nails, radiant skin, and luscious hair, this collagen works wonders for muscle and joint repair, enhances skin health and elasticity (as estrogen declines so does collagen and elastin production), and even plays a role in preventing injuries for the active souls out there aiming to stay mobile well into their golden years. Not to mention preventing thinning of the vaginal tissues that can contribute to painful intercourse for many women as they age.
​
What's truly remarkable is its clear, tasteless, and versatile nature – effortlessly mix it into your morning coffee (after breakfast of course), smoothie, or just plain water. My personal favorite? Combining it with my Hydrate + Detox (coming up next) or indulging in an evening hot cacao treat. It's a simple yet profound act of self-love with lasting effects.
Optimal balance of high-quality electrolytes • Helps to strengthen immune function • Promotes healthy aging and overall health
Let's dive into the hero product that got my attention when Hugh & Grace first approached me to speak at their annual conference & share my simple lifestyle shifts for healthy hormones.
Crafted by the brilliant minds behind LiquidIV and LMNT, this elixir is not your average hydration boost. It goes beyond mere sugar and salt; it's a powerhouse that doesn't just hydrate but also nurtures & protects cells, organs, and even supports gut health with its pre and probiotics.
This elixir has seamlessly woven itself into the fabric of my lifestyle and health routine, playing a pivotal role in maintaining my baseline of hydration and overall well-being.
In a world where dehydration can lead to a significant decline in cognitive function, this elixir stands out as a game-changer. It's worth noting that many people are mildly or chronically dehydrated, often resulting in mild or chronic constipation. Hydration requires more than just water. True hydration is a replenishment of depleted minerals. Minerals like magnesium that are responsible for hundreds of processes in our bodies and 80% of us are deficient in it. Did you know our stress response eats up magnesium? And let's talk about bowel movements & potassium – are you emptying your bowels 1-3 times a day? Daily bowl movements require adequate hydration and minerals and are a key component in your body's ability to detox excess estrogen and endocrine disrupting chemicals or EDCs.
Hydrate + Detox is designed to pull water and hydration INTO our cells, ensuring that the minerals and nutrients are efficiently utilized. It also aids in moving waste OUT of our bodies, a crucial step in eliminating toxins. The elixir acts as a source of fiber, potassium, and magnesium – vital elements for immune system health, hormonal balance, and overall well-being, which can be depleted by our body's stress responses.
Now, let's shine the spotlight on the STAR OF THE SHOW – L-Glutathione. This powerhouse ingredient sets Hugh & Grace apart from the rest by acting as our first line of defense, preventing toxins from entering our gut. It binds to environmental toxins and bile from our liver, facilitating their complete elimination from our bodies.
But wait, there's more! L-Glutathione contributes to cellular repair, minimizing damage from free radicals, oxidative stress, and environmental factors. The result? We look and feel younger, and we're better equipped to live longer and better.
Hydrate + Detox isn't just a gut health tool with pre and probiotics; it's a fantastic source of fiber, with added potassium and magnesium – crucial for women in perimenopause.
On a personal note, my energy levels, inflammation, digestion, and even brain fog have seen a drastic improvement since I started using it consistently. It's been a game-changer, replacing almost a number of other supplements I was using daily and saving me both time and money. My go-to ritual? Adding collagen right into it, mixing with fresh water, frothing it up, adding some ice, and sipping on that delightful lemon flavor to start the day. This helped me overcome my coffee/caffeine habit which has helped improve my cortisol regulation and overall hormone health. Sometimes, I'll even indulge in a couple of servings a day if I'm feeling sick or traveling.! Cheers to feeling and living your absolute best!
Boost Your Natural Energy • Help Improve Your Mood • Caffeine-Free • Hormone-Safe
Let's shift our focus to the morning superhero – a dynamic blend crafted to elevate your natural energy, uplift your mood, facilitate detoxification, and enhance your complexion.
​
Its primary mission? Tackling the effects of stressors from our daily grind, surroundings, and life's challenges. This powerhouse aids our body's resilience and adaptability to navigate stress in any environment, promoting overall well-being.
​
But there's more to it than that – it's a strategic ally in the battle against inflammation, often considered the root of all diseases plaguing our modern world. Rather than seeking quick fixes, this supplement provides sustained support, empowering your body to handle stress and inflammation with grace. In a stress-laden world, this supplement harmonizes with your body's natural circadian rhythm, emphasizing a holistic approach to well-being.
​
Our morning supplement is carefully curated with ingredients to bolster the health and efficiency of our liver – a cornerstone for a healthy gut and balanced hormones. A well-functioning liver ensures optimal toxin removal, allowing the ingredients to assist in repairing and restoring its vital functions.
​
Maintaining balanced blood sugar is another key factor for hormonal health, and the ingredients in our morning supplement step up to support your body in regulating blood sugar levels. And let's just bust the myth right now that this is only relevant for people with issues that show up on a blood test. As we age, as our stress levels grow, as our estrogen declines, we become more insulin sensitive. So any support we can get can help with stabilized energy, cravings, and even weight loss resistance.
​
The synergistic blend of ingredietns provides robust immune and cardiovascular support while combating oxidative stress to boost antioxidant health. Checkmarks across the board for hormone support through cortisol, decreased inflammation, anti-aging benefits, and detoxifying our body from environmental stressors (EDCs). As a result, this supplement naturally enhances our energy levels, mental clarity, and skin health. It's your morning essential for a revitalized and radiant YOU! Every member of family uses Hydrate + Detox and the Morning Supplement.

HEAR FROM OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE TRANSFORMATION...
Kelli M.
"I'm a person of routine in life. Once I find a system that works, I'm all in. I'm someone who has dealt with IBS my whole life. The morning supplement gives me healthy sustained energy. The hydrate + detox doesn't only hydrate me for my morning workout & teaching ballet, but the pre and probiotic have helped my tummy & digestion get on the right path."
Courtney B.
"I've been using the routine for 2 months, and outside of my digestion being fantastic (like clockwork), my energy is amazing. I'm a mom to 3 kids; a toddler and 2 in activities until 9 pm, & I'm no longer yawning in the stands. I feel present & focused."
Jen B.
"I have less brain fog and afternoon energy crashes, but the most exciting is my period sneaks up on me now because I don't have cramps & bloating. I didn't realize so much of what I was struggling with was hormone related."
