I (Jen) have been drinking lemon water first thing in the morning for several years. I first learned about it through the Medical Medium, Anthony Williams, and knew my liver needed the help. Little did I know what other great things it does for my body. I usually use fresh lemon juice, about half a […]
I (Jen) keep seeing 21-day cortisol reset programs being sold all over social media. You’ve probably seen them too and wondered, like I have, what the secret is — and whether they know something I don’t already know. Recognizing that I have cortisol issues, this is often top of mind awareness for me, and programs […]
I (Jen) have noticed something over the years — winter has a way of turning the volume up on everything we feel. The days get shorter. We spend more time inside. Our routines shift. And suddenly our mood feels heavier, motivation dips, and it’s easy to wonder if something is off. I want to say […]
Several months ago, I (Jen) wore a CGM—continuous glucose monitor—and it was super eye-opening. It showed me something encouraging: when I ate the right foods, my blood sugar was actually pretty stable. But it also revealed that I still had some things to work on.

Known as the “lung herb,” it has been used for generations to ease congestion, open the airways, and support clearer breathing. Let me tell you a quick story… A Personal Story: The […]
As the crisp air of fall rolls in, we step into Metal season in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Each element in TCM—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—represents more than just nature. These elements guide how we move through the year, our emotions, and even our health. So what does the Metal element mean in our […]
September is the perfect time to show your gallbladder a little extra love—by giving it a good flush. According to our friend Dr. Susie Schultz, timing matters. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the gallbladder gets its big renewal in February, and during that month, we want to support it gently—not stir things up. That’s why […]
A few months back, we got to spend some time with Angie Christensen of Simply Divine Eating. Not only did we have a blast hanging out, but we also picked her brain about something we’ve been curious (and a little obsessed) with lately—fermented foods. Jennah’s been making sauerkraut for years, while Jen has been more […]
