My goodness it’s been too long since I’ve written a post. This last year has been a busy year to say the least. A beautiful year of ups and downs, stresses and relief, celebrations, joy, mourning and contemplation. Certainly, a year full of personal growth and Nourish had alot of growth of her own. My goal is to start writing shorter, more frequent post with tips on health and wellness that you can implement (or not if they don’t resonate!) One thing that keeps coming up in my brain is the expense of wellness. Or that it needs to be expensive. We are inundated with exciting supplements, red li ..read more

Well Happy New Year to you all! I get it some of you don’t believe in making resolutions. But I love the energy of a fresh start. Whether it’s the new moon, equinox or solstice. I also just felt really ready to face by bull sh*t. I’m in a place where I love the way I eat. I naturally crave really delicious, nutrient rich foods. We cook at home a ton and also love going out to eat once a week (ish) to some of our favorite local restaurants. And I never feel guilty for eating pasta, having cocktails etc. I find so much pleasure in food. Now where my bull sh*t enters. I am an emotional eater. Yes ..read more

Road trips have been on the rise these last several months. Kimber recently drove all the way to California with her girls and mother in law and my little fam drove to Colorado a few months ago. Because not feeling crappy and eating delicious food are both so important to Kimber and I, you know we prepared a car full of food. Lord knows the middle of Kansas is not a bumpin food scene. And with young kids, snacks are necessary and snacks that don’t make their moods crazy is even more important (never ever to artificial food dyes or high fructose corn syrup any time for kids, but especially whe ..read more

Generally, when you think of smoothies you assume you are making a healthy choice.  Smoothies, especially those at large chain smoothie and coffee shops, can contain 80 plus grams of sugar (some over 100 grams which is more than 3 sodas…come on!!) and are often loaded with preservatives. This is fine if this sugar bomb smoothie is your occasional treat, but let’s hope that your occasional treat is not a smoothie, but rather something chocolate based from a dessert menu. They are trying to convince us that these “healthy” smoothies are healthy by showing cross fit athletes, yogis and runne ..read more

For Kimber and I, Nourish is so much more than a healthy restaurant. We both have such a passion for the body's ability to heal itself when it is given the right environment and the right tools. I wanted to go over a few foods to eliminate or at least minimize as much as possible and some healthy foods to add in. We recently did a video on this topic but here it is written out for you to reference.  Foods to Take Out of Your Diet (or at least minimize) Artificial dyes and preservatives - this is probably the most important. Dyes, additives and preservatives are considered toxins to ..read more

Regardless of your COVID feelings I think we all can agree that keeping our immune system and entire body healthy is what we are all after. I want to share things I do to keep myself and my little family healthy all the time and some things we have added in. It can feel overwhelming to make lifestyle changes but it doesn’t have to be. One thing I ask of you is to not think of a healthy lifestyle as something you do all the time or not at all. Everyday looks different and honoring your moods and emotions is just as important. The little changes make a huge difference in your well being. And yes ..read more

I STARTED MY PERIOD!!!! It’s been 18 YEARS since I’ve had a real period and 10 YEARS since I had a “birth control period”. Yes you read that right. I don’t know why I feel the need to share how this all went down. Maybe to show how wellness is so multifaceted or maybe someone could resonate. My journey is unconventional, a little woo woo and a testament to the body’s ability to heal itself. I also want to be so clear that this is my specific journey and there is no right, wrong, straight forward or simple path…especially when you are dealing with your hormones. And of course, consult with your ..read more

I’m not even close to perfect when it comes to health, I don’t believe in restriction or deprivation, but I also know how important it is to feel energized, healthy and vibrant, so wellness has become a part of my life. Our bodies respond directly to what we put into them and to the energy and thoughts running through us. Here are some of the wellness tips that are a part of my regular weekends and easy to take with you on holiday weekends. Cheers and happy celebrating! HYDRATE: I mean this is the least groundbreaking but this shit is important. Really really important. Being properly hydrate ..read more

Reducing Your Body’s Toxic Burden Kimber and I are all about eating nourishing food that helps our bodies thrive. But the last few years the realization and knowledge that what we put ON our bodies and our environment is just as important as what we put IN our bodies. (as well as our mental, emotional state, but that’s for another post…) We 1000% understand it can be overwhelming to switch from toxic, chemical laden products that are considered “normal” by mass advertising, to non toxic products. But these mainstream brands of household and body care products are increasingly being found to ha ..read more

We strongly believe in birthday treats and, well, just treats in general. But when it comes to holidays and birthdays, many of us throw in the towel and eat cake and cookies that aren’t even food at all. I am certainly not going to tell you to eat fruit instead of cake to celebrate your special occasions. You’re talking to the world’s #1 chocolate fan here. But what IS important is that we are actually eating REAL FOOD. Awhile ago someone gave my husband a cake from a popular grocery store for his birthday (a very nice gesture, of course). I was curious of the ingredients so I flipped over the ..read more
