When a mama says "My kids are always sick"


Having sick babies is the worst!  It breaks our hearts to see them not feeling good, & it’s exhausting for us mama’s.  And if you don't have kiddo's keep reading because all of these tips are good for us BIG kids too!

Do my kids get sick? Yup! They are building their immune systems so it’s going to happen. 
We have found some ways to support their little bodies & immune systems to not get sick so often or help them bounce out of it fast if they do pick something up. 

  • First thing! Cut back on sugar. Sugar suppresses your immune system! If someone in the house is not feeling good, we take a break from sugar, so their immune system has all the strength it needs to fight off those germs! 
  • Less Dairy - Dairy can be inflammatory and increase mucus, so this one is important especially when anyone has a sniffle or congestion 
  • Probiotics - 70% if your immune system is in your gut! My guys take their probiotic every night ESPECIALLY during cold and flu season! 
  • Immune system supporting supplements - Finding good kid's vitamins these days can be a little crazy. A lot of the supplements out there for kids have lots of sugar, artificial sweeteners, and even food dyes! No way we want things like that in our vitamins! They are supposed to be helping our health not hurting it...  HERE are our favorite good supplements for kids. 
  • Antioxidants - all the good fruits and veggies to keep that immune system strong. Things like Elderberry Syrup and Ningxia Red are our go to's to add in extra antioxidants. Mama’s!!! Ningxia Red is your friend especially if you have a picky eater. It’s yummy and if they didn’t eat their fruit and veggies at least you know they had some superfood goodness #momwin 
  • Homeopathy - love this natural holistic approach to medicine! We have a great Homeopathic doctor that has helped us deal with everything from colds, flu’s, pink eye.
  • Essential Oils - These little bottles of plant magic have saved us more times than I can count. Let me just say when the stomach flu hit our house, I was oiling up those little tummy’s, & I was amazed how fast they snapped out of it! Everyone around us was struggling for days! Fever's, coughs, sniffles, whatever comes our way, we have an oil to reach for that helps us out. Can i just say Thieves' oil is my bffLove that God made plants with the power to help our bodies! Amazing that each one helps with different things!

An Empowered Healthy Life

 
Ok, let's talk healthy family's. Everyone wants that, right? But sometimes it seems overwhelming to start the natural health journey. Let's help you start your path to healthy living for you and your family. You won't regret it!  Here is my story of my journey to this healthy life! 

Being healthy wasn’t always my priority. I was in my 20’s, and thought I was pretty healthy... I didn’t drink pop… I tried to stay active… would eat a salad here and there. I loved my candles, smelly lotions, used the typical house cleaning products, always tried the latest makeup, and every product that promised gorgeous hair. 

Then life changed… we got the call that my sister was in the hospital with a diagnosis of cancer at age 23. “What?!?!?! That isn’t supposed to happen!” was all my brain could think… 6 months later, she was gone. A whirlwind of emotions and a longing to know why this happened hit me, and my quest to begin a healthier life began.

 I was overwhelmed as to where to start with all of this. I worked in the medical field at the time, and I saw people everyday come in with a list of problems and a list of medications paired with that. But they kept coming back and weren’t getting better. I knew that there had to be a better way! 

I dove into a Massage Therapy Program and started pursuing my Health Coaching Certification. My mind was blown with all that I learned about how Nutrition, Emotions,and avoiding toxins in our products make a huge impact in our life! Small changes started happening, I was breathing better, my digestion felt great, my skin issues were going away, I wasn’t getting sick as often, my hormones were in line. 

Fast forward a few years, my two little boys are here! And let me tell you, mamas, I am so happy to have better options for them. Being a mom is crazy with a capital C! Eating and living healthy can be super overwhelming... so overwhelming that sometimes you just want to throw the towel in and give up…

 I’m here to say, you totally got this! Living healthy doesn’t have to be hard! You can feel empowered with your choices and know that you and your family are happy, healthy and feeling their best! Are you ready to dive in and never look back? #knowbetterdobetter
