Are you a sugar addict?
We have been doing a 7-day sugar detox this week in my Facebook group.  
Do you eat too much sugar?
Have you ever tried to cut it out completely? 

Here are some excellent reasons for you to consider if not cutting it out entirely, at least limiting how much you consume.  

  1. When you consume sugar, it is immediately absorbed by the body into the blood stream and is stored as fat. As a result, cutting sugar from your diet can help you lose weight.
  2. Consuming sugar may increase your risk of developing diabetes. When you consume sugar and you get a spike in blood sugar your body releases insulin. This constant release of insulin is not good for your body and can cause insulin resistance.
  3. Sugar contributes to inflammation in the arteries which also increases your risk for cardiovascular disease. Studies show that inflammation in the body can lead to many issues.
  4. And did you know that sugar causes you to age faster? It has been shown to contribute to premature aging. 
  5. Sugar is not good on your liver; it can lead to the condition known as fatty liver.
 There are so many other things that sugar does to our bodies.  If you would like to learn more here is a great article I found on WebMd.  You can check it out here.

🌿 My Story: From Frustrated Mom to Natural Solutions

There was a time when life felt a lot harder than it needed to be.
I was doing my best to care for my growing family—but when it came to the everyday bumps, bruises, sniffles, and sleepless nights, I felt stuck. Everything I was told to keep “on hand” didn’t sit right with me. I hated relying on over-the-counter medications that only masked symptoms, especially for my little ones.
Then came the allergies.
One of my daughters struggled every spring, and my mama heart knew—there had to be a better way.
During one of those heart-to-hearts with my niece, she told me about a natural product that changed everything for her. I was intrigued, but I waited... for almost a year. I guess I was skeptical, or maybe just overwhelmed.
But that next spring? Her allergies hit hard. I was tired of the cycle.
So I took the leap—and I’m so glad I did.
What started as a simple step turned into a lifestyle shift. The products worked. No more allergy meds. Fewer sick days. More energy. And as I kept learning, I found even more ways to support my family naturally—from seasonal sniffles to emotional stress, and even hormone balance for me as I navigated perimenopause.
Now, instead of feeling helpless, I feel empowered.
And our family is stronger—and healthier—because of it.
If you’re longing for that kind of peace too, I’d love to walk this path with you.
Come learn with me—one simple, natural step at a time.
