Today we are celebrating @Renee Younger at a baby shower for our future granddaughter, due in a couple months. Looking forward to celebrating! Knowing that this beautiful little girl is coming into our lives is yet another reason for us to always make sure we’re taking care of ourselves, as we plan on chasing that little peanut around as often as possible! 😁

Please join me in wishing one of our community members a happy birthday. Happy Birthday @Lanee Reichert

I hope everyone enjoys some downtime today. Today would’ve been our little sister‘s birthday, and I am with my dad in North Carolina. I’m dropping a note to check in, and to also say that being tuned into what we need is a really important part of our health journey. Sometimes that means stepping away from the day-to-day, and taking space and time when we need it, and that is what this time with my dad has been for me. Is there something that you need right now and can take some action around today?

Walk down any grocery aisle and you'll see it now — protein cookies, protein chips, protein ice cream, protein everything. The marketing is clever: slap "20g of protein" on the label and suddenly a cookie feels like a health food. It's not. These products are still highly processed. They're built in a lab to hit a macro number, not to nourish your body. And here's the part most people miss: the protein in them often isn't complete, whole-food protein. It's frequently an isolated protein powder or concentrate, stripped of the fat, fiber, and micronutrients that would normally come packaged with real protein sources like eggs, meat, or dairy. Your body doesn't just need "protein" as an abstract number to hit. It needs amino acids in the right forms, alongside the cofactors — vitamins, minerals, healthy fats — that whole foods naturally provide. A protein bar full of processed soy isolate, sugar alcohols, and gums isn't giving you what a piece of grilled chicken or a couple of eggs gives you, even if the label says the grams match up. So before you grab that "high protein" snack, ask: is this actually food, or is it junk food wearing a protein costume? Real protein comes from real food. That's not marketing — that's biology. Reply and let me know — what's a "health food" that surprised you once you found out what was really in it?
