    Are You Concerned With Your Sons and Daughters Nutritional Needs?

    There’s nothing like a Mama’s pain of a wanting to provide for her family, and not knowing what to do or where to start – health wise and having sick loved one’s.

    That was my mom. Her pain ran deep. Constantly seeing her children sick but not knowing the next step.

    Wondering “why.” Feeling helpless but hungry for change.

    Years spent with frequent visits to the local pediatricians.

    This lead her into the medical field.

    The real breakthrough started not in typical western medicine but when we started learning about nutrition, herbs and natural health basics as adults.

    Years of pain and sickness, I learned the hard way, now you don’t have to share that heartache.

    The truth is, your health is your responsibility.

    Your children’s health is your responsibility until it’s not.

    Your habits will impact generations – or destroy them.

    We were raised in a culture where the doctors make most of the health choices and most people don’t really know what’s going on. What the medications are called. What they do…

    Enough of the nonsense.

    It’s time to take responsibility for our lives and those God has entrusted us with and get educated so we know what is going on with our health and we are not dependent on a system thats gets paid to keep people on medication or profits by keeping people sick.

    I love how plants give the body what it needs so the body can do what God created it to do- repair itself.

    So let talk a bit about greens and nutrition. The basics of some of the plants I’ve been on for over 13 years.

    I don’t even remember the last time anyone in my family had a cold or the flu. It’s that good.

    So, One of first things I implement for our family is a daily morning hydration electrolyte drink thats highly alkalizing.

    This is a must have for all of us. Especially my husband and I.

    Here are some of the gems & what they do.

    This powerhouse is my # 1 mineral drink (high mineral plants: Avena Sativa, Nettle, Burdock & Dandelion). A true fresh green drink & 100 % herbal. You will know that it’s a gentle daily detox, blood cleanser, liver lover, pH booster and a massive emotional stress destroyer machine that supports your adrenal glands hardcore!

    Which translates to: beautiful skin, happy organs, cleaner blood, kidney helper, stronger bones and teeth, breathe easy support and feeling GOOD type of refreshment = healthier, more emotionally stable family!

    Ps, it’s a no sugar drink but tastes sooo good!

    This is also a whole plant drink which means it’s superior in its absorption and effects in comparison to taking single nutrients or compound extracts in my opinion.

    Take vitamin C for example. When it’s taken alone, it’s not as effective as we think or have been lead to believe. In order for it to be effective, vitamin C needs bioflavonoids and vitamin K. They work best in these groups or constellations- not alone. Which is part of the reason why you actually FEEL this nutritional energy boost- usually in seconds (for me & my husband anyway). Because we are respecting the plant 🌱 as God intended. Consuming it in its freshest form outside of being raw.

  • Infections & Why You Maybe Getting Sick So Often

    Infections & Why You Maybe Getting Sick So Often

    Hey Mama,

    I wrote this for my dearly loved one, but I know it will bless you beyond measure & felt lead to share!

    Did you know that according to research, a round of antibiotics can DESTROY 90% of your gut bacteria!!! That’s right, after only ONE round.

    Why It Matters

    According to Birmingham Gastroenterology, about 70-80% of your immune system is in your gut.

    Which means the condition of your digestive system affects your health & immunity – hardcore.

    So if you find yourself with reoccurring infections, it’s not just a coincidence and you don’t just have to put up with it.

    The medical system is focused on creating & keeping sick customers but God wants to set you free.

    I remember when I worked at the emergency department I started to see patterns.

    People were coming in for infections. The SAME people.

    They would get an infection & then more often than not, get prescribed antibiotics then in a few weeks or months be right back with more infections. It seemed crazy.

    At the same time, I remember growing up, I used to be just like them. Frequent visits to the Dr. constantly on antibiotics. Never understood why. It was hell, expensive and time consuming and it sucked. Sicker than most.

    So one day when I was 19 or so, i had been sick months out of that year and nobody seemed to know why. I was on antibiotic after antibiotic & I was SICK of it.

    So I went into this herb shop, so SICK & after taking some items there… in THREE hours the infection that had been struggled with that whole year… GONE.

    I was shocked.

    Almost 20 years later, rarely ever get sick, went on, I believe it was 7 years without getting sick… here’s where I’d start today.

    1. Colloidal Silver. It a natural antibiotic. It’s NEVER to be taken with salt or for more than ten days in a row. I think every home needs this. This is my trusted source. Please do your own research.
    2. Probiotics. Start a good one. I only trust 2 brands right now & would give to my family. These are extremely effective. They also have herbs to target brain health & memory. In a war, these can be considered as the actual troops themselves. “By protecting these good microbes, the harmful microbes have no place to locate.” Duke University
    3. CinnaMate. In a war this can be considered as the shield 🛡️ & nutrition. You’d never go to battle without your helmet and armor. And without nourishing your troops- there would be none. This 200 nutrient drink is also highly antimicrobial & especially antiviral. It also helps feed your good gut microbe. Vitamin drink. See it here.
    4. Vital- this drink, in a war will make the environment toxic to the enemy & helps clean up dead troops. A high mineral drink and boosts the pH level while gently cleaning the blood and have great nutrition for the liver. Get it here.
    5. Enzymes. Life cannot exist without these. Think of them like construction workers always building and tearing down. In a war they are the helpers so you body can focus where it must. They take a load off the kidneys & clean the blood, they can act as pain relievers too they are similar to NSAIDS, when taken on an empty stomach. These digest food and they are they best ones I’ve found on the market.
    6. You can find them here in this pack (no colloidal silver).

    Let’s talk diet

    For a strong body that rarely gets ill, what I found worked for me was high fruit and veggies.

    I feel best off of gluten, dairy and sugar. Although I do believe raw diary is healthy. And I go for the healthy sugar like raw honey or real stevia.

    Limited clean animal meats. I love nuts. Avocados. Love salads. Remember food should be fun and pleasurable not feel like boring and bland.

    Just consecrate yourself to God and ask Him to teach you what He wants you to eat. He will show you.

    And definitely stay away from coffee unless you was want to age prematurely, get wrinkled and poison your body slowly, that stuff is garbage.

    I love you beautiful woman of God. Stay close to Abba. He is the true healer.

  • God By Faith & Pharaoh By Logic

    God By Faith & Pharaoh By Logic

    Without faith it is impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6

    Those that are in the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:8

    I want to share a story of a lesson today.

    My husband was taking our eldest outside and I was helping him get ready, when I felt the Lord want me to do something I’d never done.

    It wasn’t a small still whisper like with the prophet Elijah, sometimes it’s an impression, or a download or it could be a millions ways- however He chooses to speak in that moment.

    It was a knowing this time.

    “Have your son scrape the new soap under his nails before he goes outside”

    Then after there was a bombardment of all these “what will and what if” thoughts aka the warfare.

    “What will my husband say?”

    “Should I do it?”

    I had just a moment to step into destiny or it would have been missed.

    I call our son over and ask him to scratch the new soap that is high in anti-pathogenic properties under his nails & tell him it is going to help him.

    He does one hand. He didn’t really like it. He didn’t want to do the other hand.

    I don’t force him.

    He goes out and tells his dad how he had soap under his nails and felt weird.

    My husband looks at me with this look like … “what are you up to now.” It wasn’t bad or anything.

    And I responded by saying it will help protect him.

    After they come back my husband tells me that our son found something in the ground, he wasn’t sure what it was but later saw that it was a piece of animal poop.

    Me: (in silence thinking “that is so disgusting”) what hand was it?

    My husband: the left hand.

    My son: no it was the right hand… this one…

    It was the hand that the soap was placed under!!!!

    This method is used to protect children and young ones against parasites.

    I had no idea what would happen.

    But God knew!

    Random acts of obedience.

    They don’t make sense. They RARELY do.

    What tremendous pain would have been felt if I had chosen not to listen.

    I praise God that He made me hear Him.

    We won’t know or understand everything- we weren’t meant to.

    That’s God’s job.

    It’s not His will for us to function like that in complete independence.

    It is His will to share things when He wills it. That creates a deep dependence on Him. The constant pursuit of His heart- this must be our ALWAYS #1 priority in life. Him.

    Anyhow I pray this blesses you.

    Incase you want to know more, this is the incredible soap I used. (Savings code: faithrefinedbyfire)

    God bless & stay close to God,

  • The Hidden Reason You’re Tired All The Time (That Has Nothing To Do With Sleep)

    The Hidden Reason You’re Tired All The Time (That Has Nothing To Do With Sleep)

    Hi beauty,

    Let me guess – you’re doing “all the right things.” Getting decent sleep. Eating pretty well. Maybe even exercising when you can squeeze it in. Yet somehow, you still feel like you’re running on fumes by 2 PM every day.

    I discovered something fascinating while researching modern fatigue patterns. It turns out the exhaustion most of us feel isn’t actually about lack of sleep or poor diet. It’s about something called “adaptive capacity” – and it explains why traditional energy solutions often fall flat.

    Why Your Body’s “Stress Battery” Keeps Dying

    Think of your body like a smartphone. Just like your phone has a battery that drains faster when multiple apps are running, your body has a finite capacity to handle stress. The catch? In 2024, we’re running about 47 background apps we don’t even realize are active.

    Work deadlines. Family responsibilities. Environmental toxins. Social media. Political tension. That weird noise your car is making. Each one slowly drains your adaptive capacity – your body’s ability to bounce back from stress.

    The Ancient Solution to Modern Exhaustion

    Here’s where it gets interesting. Traditional cultures had a secret weapon against this kind of systemic fatigue: adaptogens. These are rare plants that actually help your body adapt to stress instead of just masking tiredness like caffeine does.

    The science behind this is pretty mind-blowing. Adaptogens work at a cellular level to help your body maintain balance under pressure! Think of them as training wheels for your stress response system. They don’t just give you energy – they teach your body to use energy more efficiently.

    The Cascading Effects Nobody Talks About

    When your adaptive capacity improves, something fascinating happens. It’s not just about having more energy. People report better focus at work, more patience with their kids, a stronger bond with their spouse, and even improved digestion (fun fact: stress wreaks havoc on your gut).

    One woman, a busy mom of three, started incorporating adaptogens into her routine and noticed she wasn’t stress-snacking in the afternoon anymore. Her sugar cravings disappeared because her body wasn’t desperately searching for quick energy fixes. Usually when the body signals that it’s hungry, it’s really saying- we are low on nutrients – feed us. So if you can respond to your body with giving it true nutrition instead of coffee or sugary drinks and snacks that are really a band aid and a very superficial approach, you will revolutionize your health.

    The Simple Way to Test This For Yourself

    Here’s the thing – everyone responds to adaptogens differently. That’s why I always suggest people start with a variety pack to find what works best for their unique system. It’s like dating – you need to meet a few before you find your perfect match.

    If you’re curious about trying adaptogens but don’t want to commit to full-size products yet, I’ve found a pretty sweet deal. There’s a sample pack that lets you try 7 different adaptogenic drinks for $14.95 (with free shipping for first-timers). The best part? It comes with a $15 gift card for your next purchase – basically making it risk-free.

    But whether you try that specific pack or not, start paying attention to your adaptive capacity. Notice when your “stress battery” feels low. Look for patterns. Understanding this one concept could completely change how you approach your energy management.

    → Learn more about the Adaptogen Sample Pack here

    Remember: True energy isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building your body’s resilience, one small step at a time.

    And of course, make sure you are resting in God’s presence.

  • When God Led Me to Ditch Toxic Bug Sprays (And What I Found Instead)

    When God Led Me to Ditch Toxic Bug Sprays (And What I Found Instead)

    I still remember that summer evening, sitting on my front porch trying to have my quiet time with the Lord. But instead of peaceful reflection, I was frantically swatting mosquitoes and scratching bites, while worried about the harsh chemicals I’d sprayed on my skin.

    Have you been there? Caught between wanting to enjoy God’s beautiful creation and dreading the swarms of biting insects that seem determined to drive us indoors?

    The Toxic Truth I Couldn’t Ignore

    The Holy Spirit had been convicting me about what I was putting on my body – His temple. When I finally researched the ingredients in my conventional bug spray, I was horrified. DEET, Permethrin, and a cocktail of neurotoxins that could cause everything from skin reactions to seizures.

    1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. How could I keep knowingly applying these harmful chemicals?

    A God-Given Alternative

    Through prayer and research, the Lord led me to discover the incredible power of His natural creation. Did you know that organic lemongrass oil naturally repels 176 types of mosquitoes?

    Or that lavender oil not only deters insects but promotes calm and healthy skin?

    This revelation transformed my outdoor time.

    Instead of choosing between toxic sprays or staying inside, I found that God had already provided safe, effective solutions through His creation.

    The Ripple Effects of Going Natural

    When I switched to natural bug protection, something beautiful happened.

    My evening devotional time became truly peaceful again.

    My children could play outside without me worrying about harmful chemicals on their skin.

    Even my garden time became a worship experience, seeing how God provided everything we need in nature.

    Sisters, we don’t have to compromise our health or our convictions to enjoy outdoor living. The Lord has given us everything we need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3), including natural ways to protect our families.

    A Simple Step of Stewardship

    If you’re feeling led to make this switch like I was, I want to share a resource that’s been a blessing to our family.

    Abba showed us a place where prayer is the foundation to these turn key formulations, and a natural Bug Off Body Butter was created that combines God’s powerful plant ingredients with deep moisturizing benefits.

    One sister in Christ, Janea recently shared: “Sat outside at a family gathering and not one mosquito bite! I’m usually spraying and double spraying toxic bug spray so I’m so happy to have found this!”

    I give God all the glory for leading me to create this natural alternative. If you’d like to learn more about our Bug Off Body Butter, you can find it here: Natural Bug Protection

    Whatever you decide, I pray this information helps you make wise choices for your family’s wellbeing. May we all be good stewards of these temples He’s entrusted to us.

    In His Grace,
    Julianne
