🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT + GIVEAWAY 🚨

Hey Salad Lovers! I’m still riding the wave from this week’s launch of The Build Your Bowl Salad Cookbook. Thank you all again for the love! But now it’s time to share the other half of the equation: the tools I use outside the bowl to support strength, energy and recovery.

I’ve officially partnered with Legion, and here’s why that actually matters.

If you follow me, you already know I don’t align with brands lightly. I believe in whole food first, smart supplementation second. And when it comes to that second piece, Legion is on a whole other level.

✅ Clinically dosed ingredients
✅ No artificial sweeteners or colors
✅ Transparent labels
✅ Third-party tested
✅ No fluff, no gimmicks—just function

I train hard. I fast daily (1-9 PM crew!). And as someone in perimenopause, I don’t need noise. I need real support that works with my lifestyle, not against it.

That’s exactly why I turn to Legion. I personally use Whey+ post-lift, Creatine daily, Vitality+ for stress and hormone support, and the Women’s Multivitamin to cover the gaps. Clean, science-backed supplements that meet me where I am.

🎁 GIVEAWAY TIME 🎁

To celebrate this partnership, I’m giving 3 winners a free Legion product of their choice!

1️⃣ Like and save this post

Woody and I delayed work this morning to sit still for a few minutes 🪷

With Ramsey heading into senior year and Aubrey starting kindergarten soon, there’s a lot in our bowls 🥗

But sometimes the simple rituals help the most. A quiet moment with hot coffee and infused water can ground the whole day ☕

This is wellness too 🌿

What’s one small ritual that’s helping you stay grounded right now ✨

Still in season. Still worth slowing down for 🍉

Watermelon’s having its moment—and it’s so much more than just a fruit. It’s a chance to hydrate, reset and get intentional about what you’re putting in your body.

If you’ve been rushing, skipping meals or forgetting to drink water altogether, here’s your sign: slow down. Cut it, chill it, infuse it. Take what’s left and give it new life.

You don’t need a complicated routine. Just real food, real flavor and a little space to care for yourself.

So go ahead and try it. Sip it. And, tag a friend who needs the reminder too ✨

In case you didn’t already know, June is National Fruit and Vegetable Month! As we wrap it up, I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that not everyone can eat fruits and vegetables, or even plant foods in general 🥗
⁣
Yes, it’s true…even the most nutrient-dense plant foods can cause real issues for some people—bloating, fatigue, gut pain and more.⁣
⁣
For those with plant food intolerance, eating the “healthy way” can feel anything but. And when nothing else works, an animal-based approach—like the carnivore diet—can be the thing that finally brings relief.⁣
⁣
It’s not a trend. It’s not extreme.
It’s just what works—for them.
⁣
In my latest blog post, I’m sharing:
✅ What plant food intolerance really is
✅ Why the carnivore diet can be a lifeline
✅ What we can all learn when we let go of judgment and lean into understanding⁣
⁣
This isn’t about promoting one way of eating over another. It’s about recognizing that healing doesn’t look the same for everyone.⁣
⁣
👀 Even if this way of eating isn’t for you, someone you love might really need this info.

If you and your partner don’t always see eye to eye on food, hit the link below and check out my latest blog for tips on keeping the peace at the table ❤️
