At Flourish, we believe back-to-school season isn’t just about pencils and paper—it’s also the perfect time to reset healthy routines, boost immunity, and support both kids and parents as schedules get busy again. Let’s make this school year your healthiest one yet!

It's The Flourishing Life Podcast with Jackie and Tad!
This month we explore the evolution of breakfast and the food pyramid, discussing the myths surrounding breakfast's importance for cognitive function and the need for individualized nutrition. We delve into the impact of processed foods on health, the origins and consequences of the food pyramid, and the evolution of processed foods in America. We also address the Minnesota Coronary Experiment and its implications for dietary myths, emphasizing the importance of whole foods and healthy eating strategies for long-term health. You won't want to miss it!

Q: What is the most rewarding part of your job?
A: For me, it’s seeing the transformation that happens when patients realize they have the power to influence their health through lifestyle changes and mindset shifts. Being part of that journey is an honor.

Q: How do you stay up-to-date with trends in the health field?
A: I listen to podcasts and attend continuing education conferences focused on hormone health, nutrition, and overall wellness. I also learn a lot from my patients and their experiences, which pushes me to explore areas I may not have considered.

Q: Do you have a favorite motivationial quote or mantra?
A: "Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can." – Arthur Ashe

I love this quote because it’s a reminder that progress doesn’t have to be perfect or overwhelming. You simply start with what’s in front of you. Even small steps move you forward.

Q: What is your favorite way to unwind at the end of a busy day?
A: I like to go for a long walk outside. Sometimes I’ll listen to a podcast, but more often I choose music. I LOVE to cook, so when I get back, I can be found in the kitchen making something delicious for my family.
