Is your body digesting properly?

Because of the way food is farmed and processed our bodies have a difficult time fully digesting

I want to ensure that your body is able to heal from the inside out.

The first step is to ensure that you are eating a healthy diet, in which at least one meal each day contains only raw foods (such as a salad with nuts or a bowl of fruit).

The second step is to ensure that you’re able to completely break down any food that you eat to forms that your body can put to work in the healing process.

In order for nutrients to really be absorbed, they need to be digested properly. Because of the way food is farmed and processed our bodies have a difficult time fully digesting it and causing things like bloating, gas, acid reflux, etc.

I recommend a whole food formula called Optimal 1 Digest-A-Meal that contains all of the plant enzymes and probiotics needed to break down and absorb your food.

If your meal is cooked or processed, take at least 1 capsule right before you eat. You should be taking 2-3 capsules each day and the bottle will last for a month.

Get a bottle today to stop indigestion discomfort and fully absorb the nutrients your food is trying to give you.

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Step into a Healthier Season

By Andrea Kiesel • April 16, 2026

Have you noticed your body feeling a little different lately? Spring brings longer days, brighter light, and a natural shift in our body’s rhythms. Light entering the eyes signals the brain to adjust hormones like melatonin, cortisol, serotonin, and dopamine. These changes help move us from winter’s slower pace into spring’s renewed energy. But for many people, this seasonal transition doesn’t always feel smooth. You might notice: sleep changes after daylight savings mood fluctuations increased allergies digestive discomfort or bloating feeling wired but tired emotional sensitivity or stress Often this simply means your hormones and nervous system are recalibrating with the changing light. The Gut–Hormone Connection One of the biggest players in this seasonal shift is your gut . The gut is not just responsible for digestion. It plays a key role in: hormone regulation immune system balance detoxification neurotransmitter production In fact, about 90% of serotonin (the “feel good” neurotransmitter) is produced in the gut. If the gut is inflamed or out of balance, the body may struggle to adapt to seasonal changes. This can show up as: fatigue brain fog mood swings or anxiety food sensitivities worsening seasonal allergies Supporting gut health often helps stabilize the entire system , allowing hormones and the immune system to function more smoothly.
