Healthy Highlights june 2024
We just had the summer solstice, and it's more important now than ever to revisit your intentions you set in the winter. We're halfway through!
It's a great time of year to get functional testing done. That way, you'll have your results and a plan in hand ready to go for the fall. The best way to enter the holiday season is prepared, after all!
Here are my healthy highlights for the month of JUNE 💛
Healthy Highlights
Healthy Habit
My evening tea time ritual has been my saving grace. With the summer sun setting so much later, I've been having a hard time winding down at night. To help get myself into a relaxed state, I've been making a cozy tea and curling up on the couch with a good book (and my castor oil pack)!

Wellness Tool
BodyBio Supplements, a must have! I have been thoroughly impressed with each of their products that I have tried. I love sharing research-backed, high quality supplements, especially some you may not have heard of yet! Get them here for 20% off. Be sure to use the code ALCHEMY at checkout!
A few of my favorites, but really all of their products are amazing:
PC Oil: A PC complex that ensures cell membrane integrity and function, supports liver function, fights brain fog and is essential for memory.*
Butyrate: Fuel for a healthy gut. Research has shown that butyrate creates an environment where cancer cells are not given the conditions. It is a postbiotic (produced by a healthy microbiome) that is found in lean individuals, and not in obese individuals. It also burns fat and suppresses the desire to overeat. So worth it, but I will warn you, it has a smell!
E-Lyte: Most people are dehydrated. Electrolytes can help bring you back into balance. I love this one in particular for the balance of Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium. It's easy enough to add into a drink, too!
Functional Test
The GI MAP is a microbiome test that can reveal stressors from your diet and lifestyle that may be driving your symptoms. If you have a history of antibiotic use, you need to take advantage of this information. I recently ran a GI MAP that uncovered specific links to my client's top concerns of weight gain and prediabetes—how powerful is that! Now she can rebuild her gut naturally with the information learned from this test.

Podcast
You absolutely have to listen to this. It's a riveting, eye-opening story. Learning about Marilee's story (the founder of Branch Basics) seriously put a lot of things into perspective for me about toxins in the home. And I've already done a lot of the dirty work going through my products! Full disclosure, I actually don't use Branch Basics because I have found that Blueland's dishwasher tablet formula does a better job with keeping glasses clear, not foggy, which was my experience with BB. Either way, I'd take foggy glasses over toxic soup on my dishes!
How to Detox Your Body & Get Rid of What's Poisoning You in the Home
Book
Lighter by Yung Pueblo is a book that I adore. This is a great book to begin exploring your emotional terrain and is a great way to begin “detoxing” stuck emotions. Emotions are a huge part of healing and your journey to wellness, so don't skip this step!
