I never thought I’d say this… but sourdough and I are officially back 🤍

After taking a break from bread for a while, I’ve slowly fallen in love with sourdough again — and when it’s made right, my body actually loves it too. Long fermentation, simple ingredients, and a few tried-and-true tools make all the difference for a perfect loaf every time.

I’m linking everything I use for my go-to sourdough setup (from starter essentials to my favorite baking tools) so you can recreate it at home too 🍞✨

Postpartum is a season of listening to your body 🤍
Hormones, metabolism, cravings — it all shifts, and I’m learning to support myself gently instead of forcing anything.

My next step in this journey is trying the EquiLife GLP-1 Tone™ System — a natural, non-injectable supplement protocol designed to support metabolic health, balanced blood sugar, and appetite regulation by working with your body, not overriding it ✨

What drew me to this is the focus on supporting the body’s own GLP-1 pathways naturally, without pharmaceuticals or synthetic hormones. It also includes targeted gut support, which feels especially important postpartum.

I’m going into this with curiosity, consistency, and realistic expectations — supporting my body now while keeping long-term health in mind.

We switched to bamboo toilet paper for a reason 🤍

When my daughter Ruby was three, she had a really rough UTI. As a mom, that was my wake-up call to look at everything she was coming into contact with daily — even the things we don’t usually think twice about, like toilet paper.

Most conventional toilet paper is made from trees and often bleached with harsh chemicals, fragrances, or residues that can be irritating, especially for sensitive skin. Bamboo toilet paper, on the other hand, is naturally hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and much gentler on delicate areas.

Bamboo is also more sustainable and requires fewer chemicals to process, which means fewer toxins near one of the most absorbent areas of the body. Since switching, it’s been one of those small, simple swaps that gives me peace of mind — especially for my kids.

Sometimes healthier living isn’t about doing everything — it’s about making better choices where we can 🤍

PSA: always rinse your canned beans 🫶🏼

That “soapy” foam isn’t soap — it’s natural saponins + starches that can irritate your gut and add extra sodium. A quick rinse = cleaner taste, happier digestion, and way less bloat ✨

Small habit. Big difference.

What I ate during my 7-day functional medicine liver detox ✨
Simple, grounding foods over here—quality meat, lots of veggies, and all the soups. One of my favorite things about detoxing in the colder months is how easy it is to make a warm, healing soup that supports digestion, minerals, and liver function while keeping me satisfied🤍

Nothing healthy here - just a glimpse into my daily life 💛

Homemade immunity shot, made fresh 🧡✨

I juiced carrot, turmeric, ginger, lemon, grapefruit + a pinch of black pepper for a simple daily immunity boost.

Why these ingredients work:
• Carrot → rich in antioxidants + vitamin A for immune support
• Turmeric + black pepper → powerful anti-inflammatory combo (pepper boosts absorption)
• Ginger → supports digestion + circulation
• Lemon & grapefruit → vitamin C for immune defense and detox pathways

Small habits like this go a long way in supporting your body naturally 🤍

Morning yoga > morning chaos ✨

Even just a few minutes of yoga in the morning makes a difference — loosening tight muscles, supporting circulation, calming the nervous system, and helping my body feel more grounded for the day ahead.

As a busy mom, getting out the door for a class isn’t realistic, so home yoga is what works for me. I use my Peloton for quick, effective yoga flows I can squeeze in before the kids need me — no commute, no pressure, just movement.

Day 7 of 7 ✨
I wasn’t perfect. I started my period halfway through. And the scale? It doesn’t get the final say.

What does matter is that I supported my body, dumped stored toxins, and gave my liver some real love. I feel mentally lighter, physically less inflamed, and more connected to my body than I did on day one.

Detoxing isn’t about perfection or punishment—it’s about intention, awareness, and support. And this one did exactly what I needed it to do 🤍

Postpartum has stretched me in ways I never expected—physically, emotionally, all of it. Taking a few minutes each day to care for my skin has become a small act of self-care.

Confidence looks different in this season, but I’m learning to meet myself here.” ✨

Working out during a detox looks different ✨ Your body is already working hard in the background, so this isn’t the time to push. The goal is to listen and move in ways that feel good that day.

Day 6 of 7 🤍
Food aversions are real during a liver detox. Leftover chicken was a hard no last night, so I grabbed a Sweetgreen salad that fit the guidelines—and it was so good. Loving that I can still eat out mindfully while detoxing. Also noticing less inflammation in my face and already looking better than day one ✨

Detox pro tip you’ll thank me for later 👀🥤

If you’re doing a detox that includes daily shakes, don’t commit to just one flavor — trust me, flavor fatigue is real by day 3–4.

My go-to tip:
✨ Buy another shake flavor so you can mix things up
✨ If you’re detoxing with a partner, grab one of each flavor and share/swap
✨ Doing it solo? You can buy the shake by itself — no need to purchase the full detox kit again

Little things like this make it way easier to stay consistent and actually finish strong.

Day 6 detox update… and the scale isn’t telling the full story 👀

Day six of my 7-day liver detox and the weight loss looks slow today — but I started my period this morning.

Here’s why that matters ⬇️
During your cycle, your body naturally holds onto water weight, experiences hormonal shifts, and can feel more inflamed — even when you’re detoxing and doing everything right.

Translation: the scale may pause, but progress is still happening ✨

I’m focusing on less bloating, clothes fitting better, dumping toxins, and supporting my body through this phase — because healing and fat loss aren’t linear, especially for women.

Day 5 of the Liver Detox ✨

The scale is holding steady today—and that’s okay. For women who still have cycles, hormonal shifts (especially right before your period) can cause temporary water retention and stall scale changes, even when detoxification and fat loss are happening behind the scenes.

This is actually why I don’t normally step on the scale daily during a detox. For many women, it can be mentally discouraging and doesn’t reflect what’s truly happening in the body. I usually weigh in at the beginning and again at the very end.

I’m sharing daily this round purely for education—to show you how a woman’s body can respond during a detox, especially around cycle timing. Progress isn’t always linear, and the scale is only one small piece of the picture 🤍
