Happy almost New Year! Before we close out 2019 I thought it would be fun to look back at the top ten most popular posts from this year – thank you so much for being part of this community! I’d love to hear what you want me to write about in 2020 – if you have a request please let me know in the comments below.

Also, I’ve been reflecting on this year and thought I’d share a few personal highlights/game changers from my list.

Highlights:

• Daily walks with my childhood crush, who also happens to be my husband
• Slow mornings with my littles – Spending time with each one as they wake up and wander into the living room where I’m sipping coffee
• Swimming with manatees
• Cousin Camp
• Heartfelt conversations with dear friends (and new friendships, too)

Game Changers:

• Being diagnosed with Lyme disease, which has taught me more about love, resilience and healing than I could have ever guessed
• Finally finding a home after two years of looking

And now, back to the top ten. In order of LEAST to MOST popular . . .

#10 – A Doctor Who “Gets You” At Your Fingertips: SteadyMD Review

When my family moved go a new state, we struggled to find a local doctor that takes a proactive approach to wellness.

Specifically, we wanted a functional medicine doctor that focuses on preventing and reversing the root causes of illness instead of just treating symptoms. This became especially important when I was diagnosed with Lyme disease and began my healing journey.

SteadyMD matched me with a doctor who understands my family’s lifestyle, is available to text and chat just about anytime, and charges me the same amount for one or one hundred visits a month. It’s all online, and my doctor can do just about anything an in-person doctor can do like order labs, refer to specialists, etc.

#6 – Lyme Disease: What I’ve Learned The Hard Way

Years ago, I thought I knew two things about Lyme disease:

• It was pronounced Lymes. (Nope)

• It wasn’t something to be concerned about where I lived. (Also nope, Lyme infected ticks are in half of all U.S. counties.)

Today I know more about it than I ever would have imagined, both from a diagnostic/treatment standpoint and the impact it can have on a family . . . mine.

#5 – Five Weighted Blanket Benefits for Kids & Adults (And How To Choose One)

One of my biggest challenges is consistently sending the “all is well” signal to my body so that it can access “rest and recuperation” (aka parasympathetic) mode instead of constantly flipping into “preparing to run away from tigers just in case” (aka sympathetic) mode.⁣
⁣
Unfortunately, the fast pace of modern life activates our sympathetic nervous system much more than our parasympathetic system. ⁣
⁣
If you’ve ever wondered how weighted blankets help with that, this article dives into the science of deep touch pressure PLUS the benefits, such as: ⁣

• Better sleep⁣ 
• Recalibration of the nervous system⁣
• Help with focus (in both kids and adults)⁣

#1 – Is 5G Safe?

A few weeks ago, a handful of 5G cell towers started popping up in my community. It’s a topic that’s been on my radar for a while now, but life got in the way. If you’re like me, I’m guessing you have some questions about 5G, too, like:

• Is it safe?
• What makes it so different from 4G?
• What do independent scientists and physicians say about it?

We dive into those questions, and I also share a link to some expert talks happening right now that cover simple, empowering steps we can take here and now.
