Wellness Minute on restorative sleep — Part 2 🌙

Getting enough hours of sleep is only part of the picture. The quality of that sleep matters too.

If you’re sleeping all night but still waking up exhausted, there may be things in your daily routine or sleep environment keeping your body from getting the deep, restorative sleep it needs.

Backkkk for another Wellness Minute 😚

Sleep is one of the most overlooked foundations of our health. 🤍

Ask me how I know… I’m a mom of two littles and I’m pretty sure I haven’t slept through the night in four years. 😂 So when I say I’ve learned how important quality sleep is, I mean it.

We can focus on nutrition, movement, supplements + hydration—but if we’re consistently missing quality sleep, we’re missing one of our body’s most powerful opportunities to rest, repair + recover.

What you do throughout the day can help set your body up for better sleep that night. I’m sharing a few simple ways to support your sleep + natural circadian rhythm in today’s video. 🌙

This is Part 1—save it + follow along for Part 2. 🤍

Time for another Thursdays Wellness Minute 🌱

Health-conscious people know… once you remove synthetic fragrance from your home, you can’t un-smell it.

It’s wild how “normal” it seemed before. Now the laundry aisle, car air fresheners, heavily scented candles, and strong perfumes can feel completely overwhelming.

What most people don’t realize is that the single word “fragrance” on an ingredient label can represent a mixture of dozens—or even hundreds—of chemicals, and companies generally aren’t required to disclose the individual ingredients because they’re considered trade secrets.

Many fragrance ingredients have been associated with concerns like hormone (endocrine) disruption, allergies, asthma, migraines, and skin irritation, which is why we’ve chosen to make the switch in our home.

It’s not about living in fear—it’s about reducing one more source of unnecessary chemical exposure where we can. Small swaps really do add up. 🤍

Another Wellness Thursday Tip 🤎

If you’re constantly exhausted, dealing with brain fog, getting cold easily, or feeling run down, don’t ignore it. Iron deficiency is incredibly common—especially in women.

One of my favorite ancestral foods for supporting healthy iron levels is organic, unsulfured blackstrap molasses. Try stirring 1 teaspoon daily into warm water or tea, or enjoy it before a workout. It’s naturally rich in iron and other blood-building minerals.

Other iron-supportive foods I love:
🥩 Beef
🫀 Liver (or ancestral organ blends that include liver and heart)
🍊 Pair iron-rich foods with vitamin C to help absorption.

⚠️ One important note: don’t guess. Ask your healthcare provider for a full iron panel (not just hemoglobin) before supplementing with isolated iron. Too much iron can be harmful, and the right approach depends on why your iron is low.

Real food first. Nourish your body the way God designed it. 🌾
