🦠➡️🧠 Your gut shapes your emotions. Discover how microbiome balance supports mental clarity, resilience, and emotional wellbeing. A new frontier in mental health begins in the gut.

Honored to announce that I’ll be speaking at the 2026 Mind Matters Conference.

I’ll be presenting “Feeding the Injured Brain,” exploring how nutrition and the gut–brain–microbiome axis influence recovery, neuroplasticity, and mental health after brain injury.
This work reflects a core truth I see in clinical practice every day:
The brain does not heal in isolation. It heals through the gut, the immune system, and the metabolic environment that surrounds it.

I’m grateful to join an incredible group of clinicians, therapists, and advocates dedicated to advancing brain health and recovery.
This is part of a larger mission—to bring microbiome-informed care into mainstream conversations about brain health, mental health, and healing.

Thank you to the North Dakota Brain Injury Network for including me.

✨ Honored to be quoted in Vogue Arabia this month ✨

I shared why gut health is at the center of women’s hormones, fertility, and reproductive health — a connection that is too often overlooked in mainstream care.

Here’s what I talked about:

The estrobolome, a group of gut bacteria, helps regulate estrogen.

When imbalanced, it can drive PMS, irregular cycles, fibroids, infertility, and mood changes.

Diversity in diet — aiming for 30+ plant foods a week — strengthens the microbiome that protects hormone health.

Stress and how we eat (not just what we eat) directly affect gut and hormone balance.

Women’s symptoms should never be dismissed as “all in your head.” The gut is the missing piece of the hormone puzzle — and it deserves to be part of every conversation about women’s health.

With gut health finally getting its due as the body's second brain, it is integral to assess how gut health impacts the reproductive system of a woman

I’m honored to be speaking at the American Association of
Naturopathic Physicians Annual Convention this year!

🧠 Advancing Mental Health: Exploring the Gut-Brain-Microbiome Axis

This topic is at the core of my work as a naturopathic doctor—and I can't wait to dive into the latest science on how gut health profoundly impacts brain function, mood regulation, and mental health disorders like depression and anxiety.

I'll be exploring the intricate biochemical dialogue between the gut and brain—how stress, diet, antibiotics, and inflammation alter the microbiome and influence our minds. And most importantly, I’ll be sharing clinical strategies to help restore balance using food, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle medicine.

The future of mental health treatment is integrative, and the gut is a major piece of the puzzle. 🌀🌱

If you’re attending the AANP Convention, I’d love to see you there!

Let’s be honest—rest doesn’t come easy for most women.
You’ve been taught to prove your worth through productivity.
To make sure everyone else is okay before even checking in with yourself.
And you’ve probably been praised for it… even as your nervous system quietly frays.
This retreat is your permission to stop.
To listen inward.
To feel safe in stillness again.
It’s not indulgent. It’s necessary.
You’re allowed to need rest.
And you’re absolutely worthy of receiving it.

We’ve been taught to power through discomfort.
To override tiredness. To ignore overwhelm. To silence the body.

"I feel guilty taking a whole day for myself.”

You wouldn’t feel guilty letting your phone charge, right?

Your nervous system is more important than your inbox.

And when you care for yourself deeply, you’re able to show up from a fuller place.

This retreat isn’t about stepping away from your life.

It’s about returning to it—with more clarity, calm, and energy.

You’re allowed to take up space.

Especially sacred, restorative space.
