💌 Notes from Natalie I’m back west as you’re reading this…and let me just say…my Arizona blood does NOT do well in 30 degree weather. I lived in the Washington DC area for the first 32 years of my life. I’m 54 now. So yes…it’s been a...
Why The New Food Pyramid and 2025 Dietary Guidelines Matter More Than You Think. If you've been confused about what to actually eat, you're not alone. For decades, we've been fed contradictory nutrition advice that left us fatter, sicker, and more frustrated than ever. The...
💌 Notes from Natalie As you’re reading this, I’m in the Washington DC area celebrating my mom turning 80. When I first checked the weather it said 17 degrees and I briefly considered celebrating her via FaceTime from Arizona. 🥶 But now it’s almost 50 and that...

💌 Notes from Natalie As you’re reading this, I’m officially off the grid. Like real camping. No glam. No blow dryer. Questionable bathroom situation. Why am I camping? 🏕️ Because it’s Brooks’ 50th birthday week and this is what he wanted. And apparently when your husband turns 50,...
You're doing everything right. You started hormone replacement therapy, you're following your doctor's protocol, but something still feels off. The brain fog lingers. The weight won't budge. Maybe you're even experiencing new symptoms you didn't have before. Here's what almost no one is talking about:...
You've invested hundreds (maybe thousands) of dollars in high-quality supplements. You've done your research. You're taking vitamin D for bone health, magnesium for sleep, a multivitamin for coverage, probiotics for gut health, maybe adaptogens for stress. You're consistent. You're committed.
