Rage is not a familiar emotion for me. I mean. Look at this picture. No rage. No fear. No angry expletive-laden outbursts. One of my new favorite side effects of pregnancy is the whole “mama bear”- protective – angry outburst – thing. Here’s a scenario: I’m walking my dog across an intersection, and girl in silver…

Pregnancy Week 20: Halfway!
I officially just finished half of my pregnancy! So I figured I would take this post to do some rapid fire questions about what’s happening in this second trimester, how the baby is doing, and what my life typically looks like these days. Yay! Lets’ begin. Baby. How’s he doing? We had our anatomy ultrasound at 19…
Pregnancy Week 19: Focus
Pregnancy is WEIRD. And cool. I’m typically the kind of person who is anticipating the next event. I rarely stay in the moment, preferring to eagerly entertain fantasies of “what it will be like when…” or shudder in anxiety over “what if…”. Yoga and crisis events have been my only escape from this pattern…
Pregnancy Week 16: Fitness
It’s that special time of week again. Pregnancy Talk Time. I just entered my 16th week and am feeling relatively good. Not amazing, not horrible. But a solid GOOD. Before pregnancy I was definitely an advocate for sleep. I struggled with insomnia for a good two years and have an in-depth knowledge of how destructive…

Maca Cherry Bowl
Life’s just a bowl of cherries for me lately. I’m back living is San Diego after 4+ years of moving all around California and I’m loving it. The sun is brighter, the sky is bluer, the ocean is warmer. SD is definitely my happy place. As if i could be anymore enthusiastic, in my search…
What I Ate Wednesday
I thought I’d revive the ol’ “what I ate” post today. Whenever I talk to anyone about healthy eating, nutrition, nourishment, ancestral health, etc, I inevitably get the question, “So what do you eat?” Here’s an answer. I usually eat different stuff everyday. I’m not a food routine kind of person. I eat at different hours…

Every once in a while I like to share some stories, ideas, and products that I’ve come across recently. Here’s what I’m liking lately… INSPIRATION We Got This. This cause is near and dear to my heart. Alex, a former client of mine, was unexpectedly diagnosed with lung cancer last year. He’s an amazing, positive, and…
Gut Repair Week 7
Week 7 has come and gone which means I’m about to round out 2 months of the Repairvite Gut Healing Protocol. Food Let’s just say, I’ve been eating too much insoluble fiber (in the form of fruit and raw veggies). Never a good idea for me. Supplements I don’t know what it is… maybe the monotony,…
