This website is dedicated to helping the reader towards better health by taking a holistic, natural approach with a special emphasis on the digestive system. For some of you, changes may come quickly, and for others, reaching your health goals may take some time, even years. The most important thing to remember is that no matter how long it takes, it starts with your first step. Do not be afraid to take that first step towards health, and keep moving forward!

When I have Mondays like today, I like to look back on Sundays like yesterday ... Sunshine, puppy dogs, my boys, and goats running loose in the backyard ❤️ . What do you do when you're having a stressful day and you're out of chocolate? Share below! Together we can get through this Monday 😉 . . . #mondaymotivation #stressedout #moneyisnotmyfriend #justaroundthecorner

This month we celebrate our 15th anniversary ❤️ . Every year since we've had kids (that makes almost 12 of our 15 years), we pretty much only go out for our anniversary. Last date night? Yup, a year ago. And it was wild too ... Groceries, got some gas, and did some storm chasing as we drove around southern Wisconsin (aka, we got caught in the rain). . As thrilling as that sounds 😉 the key is that we were spending time together where we were just focused on us. No kids, no other distractions. And that's so so important for couples to take the time to do. So my goal this next year? To have regular scheduled date nights, even if that means staying in and playing a board game. I don't want to wait another year to make time for us a priority. . What are some of your favorite date night suggestions? ❤️ . . . P.S. Happy almost anniversary @dragic.srdjan 😘 . . . #dateyourspouse #weekendidos #firstthingsfirst

This summer went by so fast! It's hard to believe the kids are all going back to school and the mornings are cool enough to need a hoodie. . This is the time of year when I start making up elderberry syrup again ❤️ One, it helps keep us all healthy as the germs fly around and two, it smells absolutely like fall when it simmers on the stove! Elderberries are packed with antioxidants and vitamins to help boost your immune system. Studies have shown that elderberry syrup can help shorten the duration of the flu, and our family has definitely seen its benefits when we remember to take it regularly! Side benefits? It also helps decrease inflammation and lessen stress ❤️ #score For the full recipe, hop on over to my website (link in bio) and search under "elderberry syrup". You can also check out my Instagram stories today as I go through the (super easy) process step by step! . . . #elderberrysyrup #naturalremedies #diy #yumyumyum

No explanation needed. It's been one of those days and the brownies are gooey 😁

These are my kiddos who had dairy issues for years. Eating ice cream. At the fair. Not organic, not grassfed, and yes, loaded I'm sure with sugar. . I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me twitch a little. 🥴 My "all or nothing" personality would love to put my kids in a bubble and only give them things that are "good for them". But as they get older, I am appreciating how much the years have helped them to heal, and the #gapsdiet has given them back so many foods that at one time they just couldn't tolerate at all. . I know I won't always be with them to watch their food choices like a hawk. So I'm working on letting go and helping them make better choices and eat well the majority of the time. I'm teaching them to watch how they feel after eating and listen to their body. Today, it felt good to let go and share a #boonecountyfair tradition with my boys. This ice cream stand has been around since my mom was a girl, I enjoyed ice cream here as a kid, and now my boys are looking forward to what flavor they will choose next year. And who knows? Maybe by next year my gut will have healed enough that I can enjoy a bite or two of ice cream too ❤️ . . . #guthealing #momlife #allergyfreekids #letthemeaticecream

When you're healing from a "chronic" illness, sometimes you forget to be patient. You forget that it took years for your body to break down to this point, and regardless of your treatment choice, it will take years for it to get back to the point where you can say, "I beat this." The key to surviving the journey? Looking for bright spots along the way (because they WILL be there!!) . My latest bits of hope: I took two trips this year, one out East (New York) and one out West (Utah). Both involved a lot of driving, stress, and a change in elevation. Since I first got really sick in 2016, I have not been able to get through one trip without spending at least one night vomiting (usually the first hotel night) or otherwise crashing in some big way. . But twice now (TWICE!) on both of the trips this year, I didn't! I got through the entire trip without getting sick once. No insomnia. No panic attacks. No crashes. . If you're struggling with your health right now, search out those little (big!) victories too. They help you see you're on the right path, and by reflecting on them, they can help you through the hard days when you really wonder if you're getting anywhere at all ❤️ xoxo . . . #holdontohope #nevergiveup #justaroundthecorner
