No lettuce 🥬no problem! 🥗 Please, for the love of allllll that is holy- 🙏🏼 don’t stop eating fruits 🍎 , vegetables 🥕 , and salads out of the lettuce outbreak fear! There is SO much BS out there about the parasites. 😡 Focus on real sources with real answers- not every random “Detroit reporter” or “graphic from a news source” or random ass AI graphic out there. 🙂‍↔️ Ask a nutritionist, follow the CDC, or the state of Michigan health department etc. Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce from Mexico is the ONLY recall and known issue right now! ❗️ Yes it went to various places, iceberg lettuce only. Not raspberries, not other fruits, not other 🥦, not herbs. People made up BS graphics listing all the things that were linked to PREVIOUS outbreaks. NOT CURRENT. Have questions? Ask me, I’m here to help!

If you are 40 and beyond, you may have started noticing signs of perimenopause and more. Annoying right? The key is FUELING your body more, respecting it, and embracing these changes- even if the changes are annoying as hell! 🤪I recently attended a 6-course program by an amazing women's health pharmacist, and one of the things she said at EVERY class was how imperative it is to FEED our bodies correctly during perimenopause and menopause. I🍉🐔🐠🍽️f you aren't feeling the best, or peri is starting to show up- be sure you are FUELING your body to feel GREAT! Age powerfully! I can help:) Book online anytime right from your phone!

It’s a hell of a time to be a Certified Nutritionist in Michigan! 🤪 Never thought I’d tell clients to NOT eat lettuce and NOT go outside, but here we are! 🤣😅 Are beer 🍻 and eating chips inside the answer? I mean….. 🤣 ok No! Not the only answer! There are many things we CAN do to get our veggies and exercise in! 🏋️‍♀️ The recipe link here is great for getting vegetables in, and contain no lettuce. Steamed veggies, stir fry, grilling vegetables, eating fruits you can peel like bananas 🍌, apples 🍎, watermelon, and more are also perfect! The BEST advice I can give is to hit up your LOCAL farmers market!! Alpena’s market is on Saturday. Buying local produce cuts down on the parasite possibilities from transportation. It is ALWAYS IMPERATIVE to WASH ALL FRUITS AND VEGETABLES! Every single one, every single day- outbreak or not! Average food travel in the USA is 1500 miles from farm to fork! Lots of bacteria and pesticides involved. Please drop any other farmers markets you know of in comments! 💚🥕🥒 Also, there are a ton of FREE workouts on YouTube that you can do inside. Go to a gym or drop in yoga/pilates 🧘‍♀️ class to avoid outdoor Smokey air. There ARE solutions to the current issues, promise!
