More than 10 years of working night shift has taught me to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to sleep. Quality rest is hard when you have a busy mind. It's even more difficult when you're trying to accomplish it while the rest of the world is awake. Make getting good sleep a priority in your life and you will feel better in every way.

Self care is self love! All the things that make me feel better!

Menopause arrived during the hardest time in my life and the combo really hit me hard. It was a rough ride for a couple of years but these are some of the things that are getting me through.

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's 15 years ago. 13 years ago we discovered a small cancerous tumor on my thyroid and had it removed. I eat gluten free, take Armour Thyroid (mostly because I never felt good while on Synthroid/Levothyroxine) and I take supplements that help support my gut, liver and kidneys. I am human-sometimes I fall off the wagon of consistency with supplements, but when I feel my Hashimoto's starting to flare I go back on this regimen and it helps to calm everything down. In addition to supplements I practice hot yoga (the best detox IMO), practice diaphragmatic breathing to calm my Vagus nerve, use a rebounder periodically for lymphatic drainage and I have accupuncture one per month. It's frustrating to have to figure all of this out on my own, and it's not cheap, but there is nothing worse than feeling crappy and nothing better than feeling good so I do what I can to control what I can control

My go-to self-care products that help me feel my best, even on tough days.

Explore the herbs & beverages I incorporate into my daily routine for optimal wellness. These little powerhouses make a big difference!
