In this episode, I’m sharing what it really means to take care of your health when life looks different, how I’m preparing to shift from a season of flexibility into motherhood, and why your 24 hours don’t have to look like hers to still be meaningful, productive, and healthy.Do you feel like your metabolism has slowed down?

This week I sat down with Dr. Patti Gonzalez to talk about something most of us don’t want to think about… parasites. Yep, every human has them, and yet it’s one of the least talked-about topics in the U.S. (even though parasite cleanses are totally normal in other countries). We dive into how parasites can actually show up in your body, the symptoms you might not connect to them, how to safely get rid of them, and why this conversation is finally starting to go mainstream. If you’ve ever been curious about parasite cleanses, or wondered if they’re just another wellness trend, this episode is going to blow your mind.Dr. Patti Gonzalez is a retired chiropractor turned Health Concierge She believes optimal health is not a destination—it’s about returning to the innate design of the body.
