What if the reason you can’t lose weight, have energy, or feel like yourself… isn’t your diet? It’s your gut.

Years ago, I was doing all the “right” things, but I still felt bloated, inflamed, exhausted, and just not like myself.

When I stopped chasing quick fixes and focused on healing my gut. No crash diet. No extreme workouts. Just giving my body the foundation it needed to function the way it was designed to.

My energy came back. The brain fog improved. My mood improved, there is a direct tie from gut health to mental health. The bloating eased, I could easily look 3 sizes bigger at end of day from bloating. I finally understood something I’ll never forget…

Your gut is the foundation of your health.

It impacts digestion, nutrient absorption, inflammation, hormones, your immune system, and even mental health. In fact, your gut produces many of the neurotransmitters that influence mood, making a healthy microbiome important for both your body and your mind.

Years of processed foods, antibiotics, chronic stress, lack of sleep, illness, and environmental toxins can all throw your gut out of balance. The good news? Your microbiome can begin changing within 3 days of healthier habits, but meaningful rebuilding often takes several weeks to a few months with consistent nutrition and support.

These four products have been staples in my routine because they work together to nourish the microbiome, support digestion, strengthen the gut lining, and help your body do what it was created to do.

Don’t just chase symptoms and trends. Start on foundation.

And if you gotta sometimes live on gas station burritos and Sonic dogs on the road, Digestive Aide is you new BFF.

Comment GUT if you’d like to know where I’d start.

Today, I caught my reflection and realized...

I don't feel inflamed anymore. I don't feel stuck anymore.

It honestly feels like someone flipped a switch.

I've been doing something different over the past few weeks, and the way I feel has been even better than what I see.

One of the biggest changes for me has been glutathione. It supports healthy hormones, inflammation, detoxification, energy, immune health, & healthy skin from the inside out.

The biggest thing?

Quality matters.

• Not all glutathione is created equal, & getting it from a trusted, high-quality source makes all the difference.

If you want my glutathione guide & to see exactly where I get mine, drop "GLOW" below and I'll send it over.

Life is too short to cover up & not go straight to the source to fix it.

*This is not medical advice, just sharing what has been my personal experience*

Sometimes healing starts where you can't see it first. ❤️

💙 One thing that's made a huge difference for me? Prioritizing protein first thing in the morning.

Especially if you're using a GLP-1 medication, you know your appetite can change. That makes it even more important to be intentional about getting enough protein throughout the day.

Protein helps support:
💪 Maintaining lean muscle while losing weight
✨ Feeling satisfied longer
⚡ Energy and recovery
🔥 A healthy metabolism

Here's what works for me...

I used to be a big coffee drinker. But once I started making protein my priority within the first 30 minutes after I wake up, something unexpected happened...

I just stopped wanting coffee.

Now I start my day with 30–50 grams of protein by mixing Clear Protein into my Gut Glow. It's light, refreshing, and gives me a simple way to get a big jump on my protein goal before my day even gets busy.

For lunch and dinner, I aim for another 20–30 grams of protein at each meal.

If I need a little more later in the evening, another Clear Protein drink is an easy option.

I've found that when I start my morning this way, staying on track for the rest of the day feels so much easier.

What about you? Do you have a favorite high-protein breakfast or morning routine?
I'd love to hear what works for you!

Bam Bam has been sitting on my counter all day... and he's HUNGRY! 🥖❤️

Tonight he'll get fed, and then it's time to mix up three sandwich loaves and two artisan loaves. One of them is a brand-new recipe I've been wanting to try, so you'll have to wait and see how it turns out.

Back in January, I finally took the plunge into sourdough after years of thinking it was too complicated. I had no idea I'd fall in love with the process—or that so many of you would start following along and asking questions.

So... I've been working on something.

I'm putting together Nancy's Notions & Potions – From My Kitchen to Yours, where I'll share my sourdough journey, beginner tips, recipes, a little homestead life, simple wellness, and whatever else I'm learning along the way.

If that sounds like something you'd enjoy, leave me a 🥖 or comment "I'm in!" below.

I'm putting the finishing touches on it and would love to know who's interested before I open it up.

Now, if you'll excuse me... Bam Bam is waiting for dinner. 😊

Okay… I don’t usually buy chicken thighs.

Actually, I never do. 😂 These were given to me, so I figured, “Why not?”

I blended up some chipotles in adobo, mixed in my spices, made a smoky chipotle garlic marinade, rubbed it all over these chicken thighs, and crossed my fingers.

Let me tell you…🔥🔥🔥

It turned out SO good! Roger and I both agreed this one is definitely going into the rotation. Sometimes the recipes you almost don’t make because you’re unsure end up being the ones you come back to.

One of my favorite things about being home more is having time for little things like this… trying new recipes, cooking dinner, and actually slowing down enough to enjoy the evening instead of always feeling rushed.

That’s one of the reasons I love what I do from home. It has allowed me to build something around my life instead of trying to squeeze my life around a job.

If you want the recipe, drop a 🍗 below and I’ll send you my recipe card!

And if you’ve ever wondered what I do from home, or how I’ve been able to build something that gives me more flexibility, feel free to ask. I’m always happy to share my journey.

Happy Thursday, friends!

Today I was walking through Lowe’s wearing my “One Bean Club” shirt when a man stopped me and asked what it meant.

I told him it means I’m a living kidney donor.

And I shared something most people don’t know:

More than 90,000 Americans are currently waiting for a kidney transplant.

Kidneys make up about 85–90% of the entire transplant waiting list.

Every year, more than 40,000 people are added to that list.

And while they wait, about 12 of them die every single day.

Before I could say much more, he turned around and walked away.

But then two women nearby asked me to keep talking.

They wanted to understand how living donation actually works.

What surprised them most was learning this:

You don’t have to be a match for the person you want to help. And you don’t even have to know someone who needs a kidney.

I wasn’t a match for my brother Tim.

I donated through a voucher program. My kidney went to someone I matched with, and the moment I donated, the voucher was activated for Tim. Fourteen days later, he received his transplant.

Without that option, he could have waited years on the list.

That’s the part most people don’t know.

There are people walking around every day with healthy kidneys who could save a life and don’t even realize it’s possible.

I’m not a hero.

I’m just a daughter and a sister who’s been up close to what kidney disease does to families.

So I’ll ask you the same question I asked them:

Before today, did you know living kidney donation was even possible like this?

And if you did… what do you think stops most people from learning more about it?

I’d really like to know. 👇

STOP over complicating Protein!!

Clear Protein is one of the simplest ways to support daily protein intake without overthinking nutrition.

Many people struggle to consistently get enough protein throughout the day, especially with busy schedules, skipped meals, or grabbing quick options that don’t support their goals.

Clear Protein Plus offers an easy, light option that can be used in a variety of ways:

Morning routine support
Post-workout nutrition
Midday or afternoon protein boost
Simple meal replacement option when needed

The key benefit is consistency. When nutrition becomes easy to follow, it becomes easier to maintain habits that support energy, body composition, and overall wellness goals.

Instead of trying to overhaul everything at once, adding simple tools like this can help create more structure without adding complexity.
Small daily choices often have the biggest long-term impact.

And this my friends, is so delicious!!
20g protein that thinks its a juice!

Biohacking Your Health: The 5 - 10 - 20 Rule!

This one tiny habit has made a huge impact on my energy, mood, and sleep over the last few years—and it's so simple.

Every morning, I get outside and let natural light hit my eyes.
Why? Because getting UV light first thing helps reset your Circadian Rhythm—your body’s internal clock. And that clock controls:

Sleep patterns
Hormone release
Appetite & digestion
Mood..and so much more!

Here’s the simple rule I follow:
☀️ Sunny? Get 5 minutes of morning light
☁️ Cloudy? Make it 10 minutes
🌧️ Raining? Sit by a window for 20 minutes

That’s it. No supplements, no devices—just light.

Try it for a few days and see how your body responds. You might be surprised at how much better you feel!

I’d love to hear if you’ve tried this—or if you’re willing to give it a go!

Drop a “YES” in the comments if you’re in, and tag a friend who needs this kind of simple health boost!

Where's my energy drink peeps at?

I was a 1-2 a night (night shifter here) plus a Big Gulp or 2 of Diet Dr. Pepper & honestly I loved them. I didn't care what people said about them. Just being honest.

But when I say I haven't touched one in over 7 years & I haven't missed it, I mean it.

My swap to this also allowed me to skip the chemicals that actually work against my body too!

If you are looking for a swap but scared vou won't like it, I get it, that's why you have 45 days to try it out! Don't like it, send it back.
No strings attached.

This is actually cheaper, and not to get too scientific but this is loaded with organic ingredients. It actually helps with brain fog too!
Sign me UP for that.

Not throwing shade at my energy drink drinking peeps, but if you want to make a swap I have 2 discount codes...

Just comment "Energy" and I'll send the link and codes directly to you!
