Mission to Wellness

Peak seasonal eating is officially here! 🍓🥬

For those of us in the northern half of the country, we are right in the sweet spot for eating local, seasonal food. From a biological standpoint, this is exactly how our bodies evolved to thrive!

It’s easy to forget that the ability to eat whatever we want, whenever we want, is a brand-new phenomenon. Mass refrigeration and global shipping have only been around for a historical blink of an eye. I might be giving away my age here, but I still remember when strawberries were strictly a late-spring luxury—and how incredible that very first bite of the season tasted!

Why choose local?

1️⃣ Maximum Nutrients: Produce picked at peak ripeness has time to develop its full profile of vitamins and phytonutrients.
2️⃣ Ultimate Freshness: Nutrients start to degrade the moment a crop is harvested. The shorter the trip from farm to table, the healthier it is for you!

🌱 No backyard garden? No problem! Hit up your local farmers' market or look into a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).

📢 What's coming up: I don't have any open group cohorts running at this exact moment, but if you want to gather a few friends or family members to run through one of my signature programs—like the Wellness Reset, Smart Slimdown, 5-Day Vegan, or Immune Boost—reach out! We can set up a custom schedule, and I will tailor all the recipes to focus on the gorgeous, nutrient-dense seasonal produce available right now.

Today is National Sunscreen Day… who even knew that was a thing? ☀️

But it’s actually a great reminder heading into summer.

I recently heard that tanning bed use is increasing again among young people, likely influenced in part by social media tanning trends. Unfortunately, tanning beds dramatically increase the risk of skin cancer.

If you want that summer glow without damaging your skin, try tinted makeup or a tinted sunscreen instead.

And remember — not all sunscreens are created equal.

Look for mineral-based sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These ingredients sit on top of the skin, reflect UV rays, and are generally considered safer for both our bodies and the environment.

Need product suggestions? Feel free to DM me.

Also: hats and sunglasses still matter. 😎

What about Vitamin D? During the summer, many people can get enough from just 5–15 minutes of midday sun exposure, depending on skin tone, weather, and location.

Protect your skin now — your future self will thank you!

Did anyone else see the Pete Wells article in today’s New York Times? 📰

It’s titled "Is Loving Food the Secret to Eating Less of It?" and it is such a breath of fresh air! He talks about how moving away from self-denial and toward true enjoyment helped him reclaim his health.

I’ve always believed that health shouldn’t feel like a chore or a battle. That’s why my Wellness Reset program isn't a "diet"—it’s a foundation for a better life. We focus on the big five: Sleep, Nutrition, Stress, Movement, and Self-Care.

I have exciting news: I am now offering the Wellness Reset as a private experience. If you’ve wanted to do the program but couldn't fit the group sessions into your calendar, this is for you. We’ll work one-on-one at a mutually convenient time to tailor the Reset specifically to your needs.

Is Loving Food the Secret to Eating Less of It? The case for ditching self-denial and embracing enjoyment.

We all know candy isn’t great for us because of the sugar…
But a recent study by Healthy Florida First found that many popular candy brands may also contain elevated levels of arsenic.

And here’s something else to be aware of: chocolate—especially dark chocolate—can contain lead and cadmium. Not because they’re added, but because cacao plants naturally absorb these metals from the soil.

Why does this matter?

Because it’s not just about calories or sugar anymore. Sugar can disrupt the balance of your gut, and heavy metals may place added stress on your digestive system and your body’s natural detox processes.

Definitely gives you pause.

If you’ve been thinking about cutting back on sugar but keep finding yourself pulled back in, you’re not alone. Those cravings are real—but they can be managed with the right support.

If you’re ready to get off the sugar train and feel better, reach out. I’d love to help you get started.

The 2026 Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen lists have just been released!

If you’ve ever felt unsure about when it’s worth buying organic, these lists are a great guide. They rank fruits and vegetables based on pesticide residue, helping you decide where it matters most.

The good news? You don’t have to do it all. Even a few small changes can make a difference.

I’ve included the links to the full lists in my latest newsletter—take a look and see what might work for you!

This morning in my gym class, the trainer announced there are 78 days until summer.

That might sound like pressure—but it can also be seen as a great opportunity.

78 days is enough time to make meaningful changes:

✔️ Improve your nutrition
✔️ Support your gut
✔️ Move your body consistently
✔️ Build habits that last

No extremes. No quick fixes. Just steady progress.

If you’ve been thinking about getting back on track, now is a great time to start.

We all know that smoking isn’t good for us, and most of us know when our sugar intake or weight has reached a point that feels "off." But knowing isn't the same as doing—and breaking old habits is hard!

This February, I’m focusing on Heart Health Awareness. I’ve seen my clients achieve incredible shifts in their blood markers by simply changing how they fuel their bodies. No gimmicks, just sustainable nutrition that actually tastes good. 🥑✨

It is never too late to start, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

I’m opening up a few spots for free discovery calls this week. If you’re ready to see real, lasting improvements in how you feel, drop a ❤️ below or send me a DM!
