I’m turning 40 in May (and planning an epic celebration – well actually, hoping that Hubby is taking care of that one!)

There’s something about heading into your 40’s.

Maybe it’s that you give less f**ks what people think - Note that I said LESS, meaning it’s still something I’m working on.

But there’s been a sort of “homecoming.” A reconnection back to myself.

Less judgements.
More fun.
More honoring what my body needs.
More nourishment – on all levels.

I want to head into my 40’s feeling strong, confident, energized, feminine.

For many years I followed the hustle culture to grow my business.
I jumped on diet bandwagons.
I shamed myself for being hungry or wanting more carbs.
I obsessed over thyroid antibody labs and doubted my protocols to heal.
I people pleased.
I neglected boundaries.

About 2 years ago things really started to shift for me. I started asking myself how it would feel to:

trust my cravings
honor when my body wanted to rest
work less
delegate more
take longer breaks
honor the woo-woo side of myself
eat more ancestrally and go against diet culture
experiment with breathwork and plant medicine

And lo and be’hold, life transformed.

My nervous system took a deep breath. I think I literally heard it say THANK YOU. My energy increased. My antibody levels dropped. My libido skyrocketed. My grey hairs went away (seriously!). More peace, calm and femininity started to emanate from my being.

My Naturally Nourished program was born from this. I wanted to create a space where women can experience their own homecoming.

Learn how to trust themselves again.
To stop with restriction, deprivation or chasing the next supplement as a solution to all their symptoms.
To slow down.
Heal their hormones with real nourishment.

I’m kicking off our Naturally Nourished Reset on Feb 6th for 8 weeks and I’d love for you to join me.

Food is a huge component in the Naturally Nourished program, but we’re looking at it from a very different perspective.

One that is intentional. Intentionally providing your body with the nourishment (protein, carbs, fats, minerals, nutrients) it needs to thrive.

I’d love to have you join us! Link is in my bio 👆

In most cultures around the world, alcohol is the focal point of almost all forms of entertainment. Sports games, comedy shows, concerts–you name it.

It’s because alcohol is such an effective antidote to the social anxiety that plagues so many of us in our face-paced, densely populated, modern world.

In an effort to break his own patterned use of alcohol and cocaine, @robbiebent embarked on a ten day vipassana retreat in Israel, followed by multiple plant-medicine ceremonies, and returned home with a new lease on life.

These experiences set the trajectory for him to begin helping others benefit in a similar, more accessible way with his own wellness company, @othership. In today’s episode, Robbie tells us how Othership has become an effective, healthy alternative to alcohol-fueled evenings, by providing a new form of entertainment where sauna, ice bath and breathwork are the centerpiece of a fun night out.

In this episode of The Wellness Witch Podcast:
💫Robbie’s main takeaways from his 10 day vipassana retreat
💫How and why Robbie’s company, Othership aims to be an alternative to alcohol-centered events
💫The primary differences between breathwork and meditation
💫Different types of breathwork and their effects
💫The 5 pillars of health and the benefits of nose-breathing

Thyroid medications can definitely serve a purpose

Thyroid medications can definitely serve a purpose. I understand that when your symptoms of brain fog, weight gain, irritability, pms and exhaustion take over your life you feel like medication is the only option.

But I’m here to teach you how to heal your thyroid and metabolic health (fyi - your thyroid is your metabolic igniter) and in order to bring true healing, it’s important to understand that the thyroid doesn’t work in isolation.

There are numerous things that can be impacting why your thyroid function is low:

— stress & adrenal health
— nutrient deficiencies
— liver health
— gut health
— inflammation
— food intolerances
— lack of carbs (too much restriction)

So many things need to be considered.

So many women I know keep getting their thyroid med dosage increased year after year. This is a clear indication that it’s not working.

My course Naturally Nourished teaches you how to get to the root of your thyroid and metabolic issues and HEAL.

Whether you choose to stay on meds or not, the strategies and methods I teach will improve your health and hormones overall.
