When kids go back to school they are exposed to a wide variety of coughs, colds and flus. When looking for ways to support their immune systems remember the three S’s.

Sleep – make sure they get enough. One night of really bad sleep can decrease natural killer cell activity dramatically.

Sugar – sugar doesn’t just mean cookies, candies, and cakes. It can include your beverages and your starches like potatoes and pastas. Eating too much sugar can decrease the immune response for hours.

supplements – many of us, especially in the Midwest do not get enough vitamin D, making sure your child is sufficient can help support their immune systems. Elderberry has been known as “nature’s flu remedy“ with its amazing antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant anti-inflammatory and immune modulating properties.
Turkey tail can support both the adaptive and the innate immune response so gives a well-rounded support for overall immune resilience.

As parents, we always wanna give our kids the best. Showing them the lifestyle habits to keep them healthy will teach them how to support their bodies lifelong.

🥛 OAT MILK: HEALTHY… OR A HIDDEN SUGAR BOMB?

Oat milk has become a popular dairy-free choice—but have you ever checked the label? 👀

Some oat milks can contain added sugars and ingredients like gums, oils, and thickeners that you may not want in your everyday drink.

The good news? You have options! 🙌

✨ Look for unsweetened oat milk with NO added sugar and a short, simple ingredient list.

Or consider alternatives that are naturally lower in carbohydrates and sugar, such as:
🥛 Unsweetened almond milk
🥥 Unsweetened coconut milk
🌰 Unsweetened macadamia milk

💡 My tip: Don't just look at the front of the carton. Turn it around and check Total Carbohydrates, Added Sugars, and the ingredient list.

Your morning coffee can still be delicious without turning into a hidden sugar source! ☕️

What’s your go-to milk alternative? 👇

💩 Let’s talk about P**P!

Your bowel movements can tell you a lot about what’s happening inside your GI tract.

Regular bowel movements are important, and for some people, going 1–3 times a day can be a completely healthy pattern. But more isn’t always better. Going constantly, having loose stools, urgency, or suddenly going much more or less than usual can also be a sign that something deserves attention.

And it’s not just how often you go.

Pay attention to: 💩 Consistency
💩 Shape
💩 Color
💩 Urgency
💩 Straining
💩 Bloating or discomfort
💩 Changes from YOUR normal

Your p**p is one of the easiest ways to get clues about how your digestive system is functioning.

Want to take a deeper look at what may be happening in your gut?
