Heyyyyy GutZ Fam! 👋🏾💛 Y’all miss me?! 😂

I know, I know… your girl has been MIA. I had to take a little mental break because life was LIFE-ING, and sometimes you just gotta log off and regroup. 😩😂

BUT IT’S SEPTEMBER and I told myself I was getting back to my GutZ Girl roots… literally. 😂 So before this first day of September is OVER, here I am! 🙋🏾‍♀️💛

Nowwww… first order of business:

TikTok made me do it. AGAIN. 😒😂

Has anybody tried this Medicube Kojic Acid + Turmeric combo?! 👀 I got the pads AND the serum because apparently TikTok thinks I have unlimited skincare money. 😂

And listen… my PCOS girlies already know about this hyperpigmentation struggle. 🙄 Then you hit your 40s and peri starts peri-ing too?! Whewww. 😂

So I need the REAL reviews from my girlies. Have you tried it? Did you love it? Did you see a difference? Did it actually help with your hyperpigmentation? Or did TikTok get you too?! 😂👇🏾

Talk to meeee! I missed y’all! 💛

GutZ Fam… if your brain likes to clock in for a whole second shift the minute your head hits the pillow, come here! 🥴🤣🤣🌿😴

I’ve shared different teas with y’all before, but this is one of those bedtime blends I’ve actually used and still keep in rotation because whew… between stress, hormones, perimenopause, and just LIFE life-ing, sometimes my mind does NOT understand that bedtime means GO TO SLEEP! 😵‍💫🤣

My blend? Chamomile + lavender + just a pinch of valerian root. ☕️🌼💜🌿

🌼 Chamomile contains apigenin, a plant compound that’s been studied for its calming and sleep-supportive properties.

💜 Lavender contains natural compounds like linalool and linalyl acetate and is often used to support relaxation and a calmer nighttime routine.

🌿 Valerian root is the little extra in this blend! 👀 It’s commonly used in nighttime herbal blends and may support relaxation through pathways involving GABA, one of the brain’s calming messengers.

I usually steep mine for about 10 minutes and drink it warm around 30 minutes before bed. And babyyy… for me, this is one of those blends that helps me settle down and get my body in bedtime mode. 😴🙌🏾 Now am I saying one cup is gonna have everybody knocked out in 20 minutes? No ma’am 😂 everybody is different. But I can tell you this is definitely one I still reach for when my brain refuses to clock out for the night! 🥴🤣🌿

Have any of my girlies tried valerian root before?? 👀 I feel like everybody knows chamomile and lavender, but valerian root does not get talked about nearly enough! 🥴🤣👇🏾

As always, do your own research and check with your healthcare provider, especially if you take medications or anything else that causes drowsiness. 💚

Alright GutZ Fam… today we gotta talk about KOMBUCHA 🥴🤣🤣

And before the kombucha girlies come for me… HEAR ME OUT! 😂🙌🏾

I know it’s one of the cool gut-health drinks. Fermented tea, live cultures… all that good stuff. And depending on the brand, it may help support gut health and digestion. 👏🏾💚

BUT BABYYYYY… I personally do NOT like it. YUCK! 🤣🤣🤣 And I think my biggest mistake was watching how it’s made. Once I saw that big ol’ SCOBY floating around looking like a wet mystery pancake… I was DONE. 😭🤢🤣

It reminded me of how everybody said, “Don’t watch What the Health unless you’re ready to stop eating everything.” 😂 That’s me with kombucha. Some things I just did NOT need to see behind the scenes! 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣

Now I’ll still give it its flowers 🌸 because kombucha is fermented sweetened tea made with bacteria and yeast, and some varieties contain live cultures that may support the gut. But all kombucha is NOT created equal… some can be high in added sugar, so check those labels, girlies! 👀

Me personally? I’ll be over here with my probiotics, prebiotics, and fermented foods I can mentally handle. 😂💚

So tell me… ARE YOU TEAM KOMBUCHA OR TEAM ABSOLUTELY NOT?! 👀🤣 And if you drink it, what flavor is actually GOOD??

Ladies… we need to talk about FERRITIN. 👀🩸

Because babyyyy, I have been down a whole rabbit hole watching videos, reading, and connecting some dots in my own life… and I truly don’t think we talk about this enough.

For a while now, I’ve been dealing with brain fog, persistent headaches, random light dizziness, nausea with motion, low energy, and just this weird feeling like something is OFF. Not necessarily sick… just not feeling like myself.

Then it hit me… EBONY, what about your iron?! What about your ferritin?! 🤦🏾‍♀️

I already have a history of severe anemia, and the last time my ferritin was checked, it was LOW low. Ferritin is basically a marker of your body’s stored iron, and low iron is about so much more than just “being tired.”

It can show up as brain fog, headaches, dizziness, weakness, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, poor concentration, irritability, restless legs, hair shedding, and can affect how you feel mentally and emotionally too. 👀

Especially my ladies with HEAVY PERIODS‼️ Please don’t assume feeling drained, foggy, moody, dizzy, or completely worn down is always “just hormones” or “just getting older.”

So I’m getting back serious about mine. I’m using liquid iron because regular iron pills and my stomach have NEVER been friends 🥴😂, and I’m also trying lactoferrin after learning more about its potential role in iron absorption and iron status. I’ll keep y’all updated on my experience.

Ask about your CBC, ferritin, iron, TIBC, and transferrin saturation. Know your actual numbers. 🩸

Because sometimes we’re trying to fix the brain fog… the mood… the energy… the headaches… the hair shedding… that “I just don’t feel like myself” feeling…

Ladies, when was the last time you had your ferritin checked? 👀

Just sharing my personal journey and what I’m learning. I’m not a doctor. Symptoms can have many causes, and too much iron can be harmful, so please talk with your healthcare provider.

Heyyyyy GutZ Fam! 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾💚

Listen ladies… y’all know I’m always gonna put my girlies on to the little things I’ve been adding into my own wellness routine! 🌿☕️ And clove water is one of them. 👀

I’ve been drinking mine about once a week, and babyyyy these little cloves have been used traditionally for so many things, especially when it comes to digestion, oral health, antioxidants, and women’s wellness. 🙌🏾💚

Now y’all know I’m never gonna sit up here and tell you something is a miracle cure because nopeeee… we don’t do that over here. 🥴🤣 But I will absolutely share what I’m using, what I’m learning, and what may be worth looking into for yourself.

Simple. Inexpensive. Probably already sitting in somebody’s kitchen cabinet. 😂🌿

Any of my girlies already drinking clove water or clove tea? 👀 And if not… should I show y’all exactly how I make mine? ☕️💚

Heyyyy GutZ Fam👋🏾☀️💚

Listen... sometimes wellness looks like supplements, teas, and trying to figure out what in the world these hormones are doing. 🥴😂 And sometimes it looks like a big ol’ bowl of fresh fruit cut up in the kitchen. 🙌🏾🍉🍍🍓🍈

Tall Guy understood the assignment this morning! 👏🏾😂 We’re stocked up, chopped up, and ready because if it’s already washed, cut, and sitting in the fridge... I’m a whole lot more likely to grab this before I start looking for something I had no business looking for. 🥴🤣

No pressure. No perfection. Just little choices that make taking care of ourselves a little easier. 💚

Now tell me... what fruit disappears FIRST in your house? 👀 Mine is definitely watermelon! 🍉😂

Listennnn… 👀
I’m all for getting to the root cause, supporting hormones, lowering stress and working on that stubborn midsection… but when I heard “melt toxic visceral fat” with no calorie counting and no supplements?! 🥴 Babyyyy, I stopped mid-scroll because I have QUESTIONS!! 🤣🤣🤣

What y’all think about this one? 👀

GutZGirl is back... and I couldn't come back empty handed! 🙃☺️👋🏾👋🏾

We made a fresh batch of Palo Azul tea this morning, and I had to share it with y'all! 😍💙

If you've never heard of Palo Azul before, watch the video! 👀 It's a traditional herbal tea that many people enjoy as part of their wellness routine to support hydration, healthy digestion, and overall kidney and urinary tract wellness. It's naturally rich in plant compounds and has been enjoyed for generations.

The coolest part? Depending on the lighting, it can look almost clear... then suddenly turn this gorgeous blue! 💙✨

Y'all know I'm always looking for natural ways to support my gut, ease bloating, and take better care of my body. I love learning about herbs like this and sharing what I'm learning along the way.

Have you ever tried Palo Azul, or is this your first time hearing about it? 👀👇🏾

As always, do your own research and talk with your healthcare provider if you have any medical conditions or take medications. I'm simply sharing what I'm learning on my wellness journey. 💚
