Is your child dairy-free?🥛🚫 Do you plan for their calcium needs?

You NEED to, because peak bone mass is 95% by age 20.

Kids need a lot of calcium. 😮

Here’s how much they need from food:
1–3 years: 500–700 mg/day
4–8 years: 700–1,000 mg/day
9–18 years: 1,000–1,300 mg/day

You can reach these amounts without dairy, but you’ll need a plan.

If you want some strategies, read my latest blog post. Link in bio🔗

If mealtimes feel like a daily battle, you are so not alone.

Picky eating is one of the most common things I see in practice — and it’s almost never just stubbornness.

Sensory sensitivity, nutrient gaps (hello, zinc 👀), and gut health can all play a role.

The goal isn’t to force broccoli by Tuesday. It’s understanding what’s driving the food refusal, so you can support your child’s body — and your own sanity — with a plan that actually fits your kid.

You hold it together at work. At home. For everyone around you. 💛

But inside? Your mind is always on.

High-functioning anxiety is one of the most common — and most overlooked — struggles in women. I see it in my patients all the time.

When you’re still functioning, still showing up, still getting things done... nobody thinks to ask if you’re okay.

And honestly? You might not even ask yourself.

That’s exactly why I’m sitting down with somatic therapist Laura Faberman MSW, RSW for an honest, no-fluff conversation about what’s really going on — and what you can actually do about it.

Quietly Overwhelmed:
Understanding High-Functioning Anxiety in Women

🗓 June 12th | 12–1pm | Free & online

We’ll be covering: — What high-functioning anxiety actually looks like — Why it lives in your body, not just your mind — How naturopathic medicine can help — How somatic therapy creates real, lasting change — Live Q&A — bring your questions.

If you’ve ever thought “I should be fine, I’m functioning” — this is for you.
