Have you heard of iridology? 🌿

It’s a topic that often brings curiosity, especially when someone encounters it for the first time.

Iridology involves observing the colours, patterns and markings in the iris, the coloured part of the eye.

I joined the Nature’s Sunshine podcast to share my perspective on this practice and introduce it to those who may be unfamiliar with it.

For me, looking at our health as a whole begins with curiosity, asking questions and taking time to understand our individual experiences. ❤️

If you’ve been curious about iridology, I invite you to listen to our conversation.

The front catches our attention. The ingredients tell us more. 🌿

“Natural.” “High protein.” “Made with whole grains.”

Have you ever put something in your grocery cart because of a claim on the front?

Before I decide, I like to turn the package around.

For me, the ingredients are the first place to look.

Although I understand people look at the nutrition facts table, I find it can often be misleading. That is why I look at the actual ingredients first.

And if I don’t recognize an ingredient? I look into what it actually is. An unfamiliar name is a reason to ask a question.

Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean a perfect grocery cart. Some foods fit into my everyday meals, and others belong in my 20% fun! ❤️

As we find foods we know, enjoy and feel good eating, shopping becomes easier. We don’t have to start from scratch every time.

Later this month, I’ll share one of my favourite 20-minute meals using chickpea pasta. Simple ingredients, simple preparation.

Next time you’re shopping, turn the package around.

What do you look at first: the ingredients, the Nutrition Facts table or the front of the package?

Sometimes the hardest part of supporting our health is deciding where to begin. 🌿

Do we focus on what’s giving us the most trouble? Or start with something that feels easier to change?

Both can be a helpful starting point.

This is one of the reasons I developed BODiWELL around eight interconnected pieces of our health. We each have different needs, and we don’t all need to begin in the same place.

Perhaps your digestion or sleep needs more attention.

Or perhaps you could begin by drinking one more glass of water each day. Going to bed when you feel sleepy, instead of pushing through for another hour.

The key is to choose something you can repeat consistently.

Those small actions become habits. And as those habits become part of your day, they create momentum to keep going.

For October’s monthly intention, I invite you to start where you are, with one manageable step. ❤️

Where would you begin this month: with what needs the most attention, or with something that feels easier?

When we’re working on our health, it’s easy to focus on the one thing that hasn’t improved as much as we hoped.

At a recent follow-up, a client in her early 40s shared that she was still working toward relief in her arm. It was about 30% better, which is progress, even if it isn’t where she wants it to be yet.

Then we looked at everything else that had changed. ❤️

Her bowel movements now feel complete, and she no longer feels full and bloated. The spotting she used to experience before and after her period has decreased to one light day afterward. And a bladder issue that once troubled her hasn’t returned since last year.

This is why I like to look at our body as a whole. Some changes happen sooner, some take more time, and some become improvements we want to maintain.

If you’re working on your health, take a moment to notice what has changed. Your progress deserves to be seen. ❤️

When we start feeling better, it’s natural to think, “Wonderful, I’m done!”

And feeling better is worth celebrating. It tells us our body is responding.

But I often remind clients that feeling better and being fully rebuilt may happen at different times. Our body may still need support as it strengthens, stabilizes and settles into a healthier pattern.

So when symptoms improve, I like to ask: What does our body need next?

Sometimes the next step is giving that progress time to take hold. Because getting better matters, and so does helping our body hold onto it. 💚

Every September, I hear some version of the same question:

“Why does everyone seem to get sick as soon as school begins?”

Increased exposure to viruses certainly plays a role. Children return to school, adults return to fuller schedules, and we begin spending more time together indoors.

But I also like to ask another question:

What else has changed around us?

Our mornings may be more rushed. Bedtimes shift. Meals become less consistent. Stress increases. We spend less time outdoors, drink less water and sometimes lose the supportive habits we maintained throughout the summer.

Our body is being asked to adapt to many changes at once.

This is why I prefer to talk about supporting immune function, rather than simply “boosting” it. Our immune system does not work in isolation. It is connected to our sleep, stress, nutrition, digestion, elimination and everyday habits.

In my newest blog post, I explore why illness often seems to increase in September, along with practical ways we can support the whole body before we feel depleted.

You do not need to change everything at once. Sometimes one earlier bedtime, one nourishing breakfast or one daily walk is a beautiful place to begin.

Healthy eating does not have to mean complicated recipes or spending hours preparing meals.

A client gave me this beautiful assortment of vegetables from her garden, and they were SO yummy! 😊

When I have plenty of fresh vegetables, I wash and cut several at once, then keep them ready in the refrigerator. This makes it easy to add them to eggs, greens, a healthy pasta or whatever else I am making.

I do the same with vegetables I plan to cook. I prepare butternut squash, sweet potatoes or rutabaga ahead of time, or buy them already cut when I am in a pinch. Then, I can simply steam them with green or yellow beans.

Nothing fancy. No marathon meal-prep session.

Just doing a little ahead of time so the foods I want to eat are easy to reach for when I need them.

This is one of the ways I practise Optimized Nutrition within BODiWELL.

Sometimes eating well is not about learning another rule or finding another recipe.

It is about making what we already know easier to do. 💚

Food tracking doesn’t need to be scary. 💚

If you are experiencing symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, headaches, cravings, skin changes, or digestive discomfort, it can be difficult to understand what your body is trying to tell you.

This is where keeping a food diary can be so helpful. (I know, nobody likes to doing it blush but bear with me and keep reading)!

Writing down what you eat and how you feel afterward can help you notice patterns that are easy to miss in the busyness of everyday life.

Did your energy change?
Did a symptom appear?
Are certain foods leaving you feeling better, or worse?

Tracking isn’t about judging every bite or trying to eat perfectly. It is about gathering information, connecting the dots, and making more informed decisions for your body.

I’ve created a simple, intuitive Daily Food Tracker Diary to help you plan your meals, record what you are eating, and begin listening more closely to your body.

It is available as a complimentary digital download for a limited time.

Your body is always communicating with you. Sometimes, we simply need to slow down long enough to hear what it is saying.

DM me what connection you find as I love to hear them!

What if exercise does more than strengthen our muscles? 💛

I love when new research helps us see another connection within the body.

A recent scientific review explored whether exercise may influence the glymphatic system, a pathway that helps clear waste from the brain and is especially active while we sleep.

Now, this doesn’t mean exercise has been proven to “clean” the brain. There is still so much to learn. But movement can influence several processes connected to glymphatic function, including sleep quality, blood-vessel health, inflammation and brain activity.

And, of course, this made me think of BODiWELL.

We may talk about Exercise & Movement and Deep Healing Sleep as two separate pieces, but our body doesn’t experience them separately.

Movement may support sleep.
Sleep supports restoration.
And together, they may support the incredible ways our brain and body care for themselves.

This is why I love connecting the dots. Our health doesn’t live in little boxes. Every part of us is in conversation with the whole.

The more we understand these connections, the more fascinating our body becomes. ✨

September has a way of inviting us back into routines.

But returning to routine does not mean we need to do everything at once, or do everything perfectly.

Sometimes the most helpful question we can ask is:

What matters most right now?

Once we know the answer, we can make that one thing easier to do.

Put it in the calendar.
Prepare for it ahead of time.
Keep what you need somewhere you will actually see and use it.
Remove one small obstacle standing in the way.

And when you cannot do everything, as we seldom can, choose to do what matters most rather than doing nothing at all.

I have learned that when something is truly a priority, we can usually make a little more room for it. We may need to adjust, simplify, and tweak and tweak along the way. 😊

This September, my intention is not to do more.

It is to make what matters easier to do.

What is one thing you would like to make easier for yourself this month? 🌿
