Feeling under the weather? ❄️🤧 Listen up—most of y’all don’t need antibiotics!

If you’ve been sick for less than 10 days, it’s probably a virus, not bacteria. No amount of antibiotics will fix that. 🤷‍♂️ But if you’ve got 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗳𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 (𝟭𝟬𝟯+ 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟱-𝟲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀) and you’re testing negative for flu/COVID, then maybe it’s time to check in with a doc.

Until then—rest, hydrate, take your vitamins, and stay home so you’re not sharing the love (aka germs) with everyone else.

Tick prevention matters more than you think.

With Alpha-Gal Syndrome, avoiding new tick bites and re-bites is one of the biggest things you can do. You also have to be careful with foods, medications, supplements, and other products that may contain mammal-derived ingredients, so you’re not continuing to trigger the immune response.

On this episode of Feed Your L.I.O.N. Podcast, I break down Alpha-Gal Syndrome, Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tick bite prevention, and why tick-related illnesses are becoming something more people need to understand.

What actually makes your period start?

When pregnancy doesn’t occur, progesterone and estrogen drop, menstruation begins, and day one starts again. Typically, menstruation happens around days 1 to 5, the follicular phase runs through about day 13, ovulation is around day 14, and the luteal phase is usually days 15 to 28.

On this episode of Feed Your L.I.O.N. Podcast, “The Female Cycle Explained,” I give an overview of the female cycle, including ovulation, hormones, what’s considered normal, and why you may feel different throughout the month.

Your skin deserves ingredients you can recognize.

Tallow, jojoba oil, and lavender come together in a simple, natural cream made with dry, irritated, and inflamed skin in mind. Sometimes going back to simple ingredients is exactly what your skin needs.

On this episode of Feed Your L.I.O.N. Podcast, I sit down with Michelle Gerlach of Willow Valley Farmhouse to talk about natural living, herbal remedies, tallow-based skincare, and knowing what goes into the products you use every day.

A tick bite can change how your body reacts to food.

With Alpha-Gal Syndrome, the lone star tick can introduce a sugar molecule that triggers your immune system to create antibodies. That same molecule is found in red meat and other mammal products, which can lead to delayed allergic reactions over time.

Joy isn’t only found in the big, exciting moments.

Sometimes it’s found in the ordinary places, in your work, your routine, your responsibilities, and the small things God has placed in front of you today. If we miss the little moments, we may miss the bigger story He’s writing through them.

On this episode of Feed Your L.I.O.N. Podcast, I sit down with Becki Meadows Williamson to reflect on the biggest takeaways from the summit, including faith, leadership, spiritual growth, healing, purpose, and how those lessons apply to everyday life.

How you speak to yourself matters.

The way you identify yourself, the choices you make, and the habits you repeat all shape the direction of your life. You may not be able to control everything around you, but you can control how you show up, what you practice, and who you decide to become.

On this episode of Feed Your L.I.O.N. Podcast, “Unpacking Atomic Habits,” I sit down with Nicci Gibbs to talk about how small habits, consistency, and mindset shifts can help you build lasting change.

Consistency beats intensity.

You don’t have to go all in for hours at a time to make progress. Five or 10 minutes a day, done consistently, can take you further than one big effort you never repeat.
