Heading out on our annual family backpacking trip in the northern Sierras. Will post more about how we eat healthy GF, DF, and minimally processed on the trail post trip, but for now here's some of my favorites: homemade grassfed GF jerky, seaweed, nut/super berry/seed/cacao medley, bone broth, tea and herbal tonics, tubes filled with coconut butter, tahini, and nut butter, GF crackers, wild salmon packets, protein bars. This will be my first time trying some packaged meals, but they're Gf, lightweight and less bulky then some of our other meals so we'll give it a go. More to come, but for now, we're heading into the woods for some rich nourishing offline time communing with nature and loved ones. See you all on the other side in a couple weeks. 🌿💖✨ #vesselandsoul #functionalmedicine #healthcoach #backpacking #healthy #glutenfree #healthytips #health #diy #organic
Had such a lovely time connecting with friends old and new at the @lovebeautywellnessfestival this weekend, sharing the magic of @foriapleasure and @foriawellness , women's wellness through Functional Medicine, and further fueled with inspiration by my ladies @taraamackey and @m.parkestudio and their healing journeys and heart filled work. It's fun seeing wellness and natural beauty becoming more trendy and available, however let's not get swept up in the veil that we must look a certain way or spend all our money on a spectrum of fancy products, health is found in infinite forms and often the most nourishing fuels are even free. Aka community, love and heart felt connection, presence, grown and foraged foods, sunshine, breath, play, laughter,..what else? #community #love #vesselandsoul #functionalmedicine #fmchc #healthcoach #lovebeautywellnessfestival #godeep #nourish #health #wellness

Sorry Instagram world I don't have any exotic vibrant fruit on hand, and I'm only adulting so much today, so when you can't make it beautiful, make it fun...or just always make it fun. Happy food makes happy you. My workshop/talk yesterday on Gut Health for Hormone Balance was a success, felt so very good, and now I have coconut yogurt for days, so I'm gonna experiment with some coconut popsicles next. #vesselandsoul #functionalmedicine #healthcoach #fmchc #womenswellness #guthealth #coconutyogurt #happyfood #fermentedfoods
YES. The future is here, if we just tune in and listen, and equip ourselves with the guidance and tools that show us how to nourish our power. There are so many 'gurus', 'healers', etc. out there, and increasingly so with our ego, monetary system, and the ever expanding interweb, but I would urge us all to align most with those that help empower US to find OUR strength, wisdom, beauty, and infinitely intelligent healing power withIN. That doesn't mean without tools, such as healing foods, herbs, supplements, practices, and guiding wisdom, as all of these become a part of you too, and tune your DNA to the music of a life thriving. The medicine of greater health and happiness lies within our relationship with ourself, our body, mind, intuition and heart. You are meant to thrive. Be curious in finding the deeper answers, be compassionate in your journey to and from where you are, and enjoy the process every step of the way, for you are magic expressed as life! #vesselandsoul #functionalmedicine #healthcoach #fmchc #womenswellness #thomasedison #gowithin #presence #health #healing #love #medicine #nutrition #diet #lifestyle #selfcare
What's the most under acknowledged and MOST IMPORTANT system for HEALTHY HORMONE BALANCE? It's actually not the health of thyroid, adrenal, or even reproductive glands... and if you've been around me long enough, you're a mcsmartypants and you guessed it, its 'the gut microbiome'! If you have challenging PMS, heavy periods, acne, stubborn weight or bloating, cystic breasts or ovaries, low libido, low mood or irritability, then bringing some love and attention to the health of your gut is the best thing you can do to support healthy hormone balance, detoxification, and overall health and wellbeing. Join us tomorrow evening, Tues June 27th at 6:30pm, for a discussion on the gut and our hormones and what we can do to be more balanced, healthy, sexy and vibrant women! When: Tuesday June 27 Time: 630-830pm Cost: $35 (or $40at the door) Where: 360 Fit Haus @360fithaus TICKET LINK IN BIO! #vesselandsoul #functionalmedicine #healthcoach #fmchc #workshop #womenshealth #hormones #guthealth
