For me, simply knowing that important parts of the immune system circulate in the blood means we should approach blood draws intentionally… and definitely nourish deeply before and afterward. I broke my fast with fresh organic juice followed by a smoothie! 🍊💫

It’s important to remember that the body sees blood as sacred life force and not something endlessly expendable!

Maybe it’s the thalassemia minor in me 😂 but I’ve always viewed unnecessary blood loss with caution. I requested minimal blood to be taken by asking for half vials instead of full ones. (They only use a few drops in reality… I have friends who work in labs 😉 and with kids they can get so much from a simple finger prick, you get the picture.)

Not medical advice, just honoring my body, my history, and what feels aligned for ME. ✨

[I’m collaborating with for a full-body MRI scan next week + while I’m not one to usually go looking for problems, I think this is something that can be empowering!! + am excited to share the experience!]

The symptoms I started getting didn’t make any sense... & If food alone was the answer, I would have stayed healed. �
You can manipulate the physical body only for so long. Important and powerful, yes of course, but not the whole picture. And you guys KNOW ME. I was doing everything “right.” Clean eating. Structured routines. Clinical knowledge. And yet stress still showed up, symptoms still showed up. Migraines started during my clinicals, my thyroid was swinging in a way that was unusual for me, and my green juice wasn’t enough to offset the stress.

Worst is I knew all of this, I know the importance of the woo-woo 🧙‍♀️ side, I’ve been to the retreats, I do it daily yet I had still placed so much emphasis on the physical and just let stress take over during a hard season.

Life gets busy, we’re young parents, we take on too much, and it’s just life. But knowing that the physical alone won’t cut it long term changes everything.

That’s how we upgrade the system and programs in place and elevate!!!

Hi fam!! So This👇🏼is what I mean when I say The Missing Layer and what All layers actually look like in practice. I’ll break down how we support each, and what each layer is up against so you can actually understand why it matters!

Everything we do falls into 1 of 3 categories: emotional, chemical, or physical.

Emotional
Nervous system, perception, regulation
Meditation, breathwork, prayer, mantras 🧘🏻‍♀️🌬️🙏🏼
(Family tragedies, loss, betrayal, job, finances)

Chemical
What’s happening internally
Supplements, nutrition, hormones 🥗💊🧬
(Bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, illness, hangovers, blood sugar levels, chemicals in food)

Physical
What you do with your body
Movement, sleep, consistency 🏃🏻‍♀️😴✔️
(Accidents, injuries, falls, traumas, poor posture, late nights)

And just to clarify, nutrition actually touches all 3, but its primary role is chemical. Think: Eating IS physical—> What it does IN your body is chemical.

This isn’t new information! A lot of different fields and my favorite healers have touched on this in different ways. This is just how I see it play out in practice.👇🏼

Most people tend to lean heavily into one.
•They’ll focus only on meditation and wonder why nothing is changing physically.
•Or they clean up their nutrition but still feel constantly on edge.
•OR they stay consistent with workouts, but something still isn’t shifting..

We’re usually missing a key piece and in my field especially(!!!) the missing layer is the emotional piece. You can only manipulate the body for so long. And yes, it will work to a degree.. because anytime you take out the garbage, the body will respond and you’ll see improvement! 1000%
BUT what keeps it working long term is that emotional layer. 🧠

My next program will go deeper on all three, not just what we eat. It’s the aTayloredHealth approach, refined. A coming home to a way of incorporating all aspects into the work. You know I’m always training myself to bring you nothing but the best and after 15 years of studying and LIVING this work, I can say with the utmost confidence that when you’ve got all 3, that’s the gravy baby. 😉

For years, my work has been centered around nutrition. And it absolutely works.. to a point.💡

I’ve spent over a decade studying spirituality, neuroscience, and the mind-body connection. I’ve done the retreats. I meditate 2x daily. This has always been part of how I see health.

But somewhere along the way, once I stepped into my clinical role and credentials it felt like everything got reduced to one thing: a meal plan. And I understand why but I also know it’s not enough!

Because the people who truly get better aren’t just changing what they eat. They’re changing something deeper. 🔑

That’s the direction my work has been moving in, and while nutrition will always be a core part of my work (it is undeniably one of the most powerful tools for health), I’m excited to start sharing more of the deeper layer that holds it all together. 🔗

You know I’ve always been a little “woo-woo”… I just used to keep that part quieter. Not because it wasn’t real, but because I couldn’t fully explain it yet. Now I can, and it feels like time to start sharing more of that layer in a way that’s practical and real.

If you’ve been here for a while, you probably already know that side of me and if you’re new here, you’ll start to see it. :)

I’ll call it The Missing Layer.

I took a step back from social media for Lent and honestly it was really good!

There’s something about getting quiet that brings you back to what actually matters 🤍

I missed you all but I didn’t miss the noise here. And the break gave me a lot of clarity on how I want to be here moving forward.

Less posting just to post.
More saying something when there’s actually something to say.

I had the pleasure of being a guest speaker on Baker Health Talks last week and I so hope you will get a chance to listen!

We discuss my mission of healing through food and nutrition. I also share my holistic approach to supporting clients with chronic illness, practical wellness tips such as "activating" your water, and navigating dietary choices.

On this episode of Baker Health Talks, we are joined by nutritionist Alessandra Taylor, where she delves into her mission of healing through food and nutriti...
