What are my qualifications? I am almost 33 and 6 years into surgical menopause. I am a certified personal trainer. I have been in and out of the fitness industry for 10 years. Taking time off to focus on family, homeschooling, and gaining experience, yet always picking up dumbbells. I started from rock bottom health and have been climbing that ladder ever since. What works for me might not work for you, vice versa. Have you tried any of the vitamins listed?

1. Liquid Morning Vitamins. Sounds gross but hear me out. Absorption should be the main focus when taking vitamins. Taking a large gel cap that hurts your tummy and changes the color of your urine? Not cool. This brand has several flavors and types of liquid multivitamins. I’m linking my preference. I take one tablespoon every day, the bottle lasting two months. I know that it’s the recommended dose for children, and this is my sweet spot. Not jittery, not scatterbrained, yet energized.

2. Vegan Chlorophyll Drops. I take this a few times a week. If you are actively eating dark leafy greens every day, then you probably won’t benefit much from this. The difference in my skin is night and day. Rosacea on my nose and cheeks always improves when I take this regularly!

3. Vitamin D 3 and K 2. If you wear SPF then you’re most likely vitamin D deficient. K2 is proven to help bone density and reduce the risk of bone fractures. In simple terms, K2 helps calcium stick to your bones. I take this daily and year-round. When I am not consistent, I have brain fog, sore-more-than-usual joints, and general malaise.

4. Sea Moss. There’s been a huge peak of sea moss products lately. Research all suppliers. I am finicky when it comes to textures like gel. I take a capsule. Sea moss is loaded with natural minerals. The typical American diet doesn’t begin to cover most of the daily dietary needs, this is a good place to start (especially if you don’t want to commit to taking a daily liquid vitamin).

5. Nutritional Yeast. I sprinkle this on all of our food as a seasoning. It has a slight buttery taste that can improve creamy dishes, stews, and puddings. Nutritional yeast is a good source of b vitamins. I highly recommend adding this to your arsenal if eating red meat is off the table for you.

6. Magnesium. If you’re not taking magnesium, you should start today. There are many different kinds of magnesium. I can have magnesium chloride in a cream to improve skin health and relax the body. Another example is taking a magnesium glycinate tablet to help with anxiety.

7. Bone Broth. Not ever having Anthony B’s broth is a travesty but store-bought is fine. In my experience, bone broth helps digestion, strengthens joints and connective tissues (hello, facia), and aids in fingernail strength. Bone broth is better than collagen supplements because it is a whole protein.

8. Mushrooms. I’ve been committed to Sacred Seven for the past six years or so. Adding pinches of mushrooms to my coffee every morning. At first, I felt no change at first, but after a while, I started recalling memories and things of the past that I had forgotten. Sure, there’s no definitive proof of my claims, yet there are studies that show mushrooms do open and connect neural pathways.

9. Golden Juice. Carpal tunnel? Nearly nonexistent. Turmeric is proven to help inflammation. Vitamin C and black pepper aid in the absorption of turmeric and are a bonus in immunity support. Will post a recipe soon!

10. Vanilla Protein Powder. I buy the Elevation brand from Aldi as a part of our routine groceries. Both the chocolate and the vanilla flavors are palatable. I am comfortable using whey protein, I find it tastes better than most plant-based protein powders in stores. I do not use protein powders to replace any of my meals. Protein powders are excellent for recovery after heavy training sessions.

My Mother’s Day Reality Check

I have a plan.

I’m going to use Amazon as my branded, dropshipped wellness store.

Use Pinterest and my blog to market my brand.

Use reels and TikTok as a video log to my blog.

Email marketing to introduce new products and hook sales.

Have Facebook as a home base.

I want it so automated that all I have to do on screen is make/post daily content.

My Mother’s Day Reality Check

I have to implement all of this soon, so I can build my coaching program for the ladies, write chapter two of my book, start group coaching on Saturday mornings, and sell my honest blood/sweat/tears as digital content.

My love for fitness is where all of this started. Holistic health and plants are a special interest. What I do with those plants (soapmaking) is an even more niched down reality of mine.

My 8 month plan has evolved into an ‘automate all that I can before moving to Texas in 2025’ plan.

I’m using mom brain to do all of it. I know things look super unconnected and I’m aloof to time. I am still just a girl! I have delayed processing and forget how to communicate my needs, I can’t help it. I’m tired.

The cherry on top is that I have made an educated decision to go gluten-free. Controversial, I know. Genetics plays such a big role in my day-to-day life, I cannot ignore the call to action in front of my face.

Especially when it’s clearly on my face. I’ve always had rosacea on my nose and cheeks. The first week I was completely gluten-free my sister said that my complexion had improved, and I was indeed glowing. This morning, both cheeks and the nose are red and puffy with blemishes. I suppose the hot and ready pizzas are to blame. My stomach hurts but I’m being brave about it.

What Moms Really Want for Mother’s Day

I’ve worked for years to get this far. So has Jacob. I am excited to find out what’s next. I am even more excited knowing that what we both are doing today is setting the foundation for the financial stability of our legacy.  I never want them to suffer or fight as hard as we have; yet I pray that they are even more humble and just than I could ever be.

It’s Mother’s Day weekend. I am supposed to write a blog about What Mom’s Really Want For Mother’s Day; the next week, What Mom’s Got For Mother’s Day (I know the English isn’t perfect but for a Pinterest post, it’s fine).

I received many different answers, varying from countertop appliances to body modification… one common answer among all platforms: a peaceful day at home with loved ones and fur babies, with good food and entertainment. Delightful.

The house cleaning begins today. The shopping tomorrow. Don’t forget the routine extracurriculars and the holiday crafting. The baking and the marinating. The SPF! And a garnish for your beverage.

I hope you enjoy your time with the family. Whatever gifts you may receive are a display of gratitude, not a measure of your worth.
