Y’all, I’m asking for some extra prayers today. ❤️ Y’all, I’m asking for some extra prayers today. ❤️ Today is finally MRI day. They’re checking my brain and my cervical and lumbar spine, and I’m praying this is one step closer to finally getting some answers about what’s been going on with me.

At this point, they’re looking into possibilities like Chiari malformation, MS, or something else entirely. And honestly… I have no idea what these MRIs are going to show.

I think one of the scariest parts is the possibility that they could come back “normal” and I’ll STILL have no answers. Because when you’ve been dealing with symptoms for so long, you almost start questioning yourself and wondering, “Am I actually crazy?” 😜

I obviously don’t want them to find anything serious, but at the same time, I NEED them to find something that can explain why I’ve been feeling the way I have. If you’ve ever been stuck in that horrible limbo of “I know something is wrong, but I don’t know what”, you know exactly what I mean.

So today I’m praying for clear answers, good news, and hopefully a diagnosis and treatment plan that can finally help me move forward. 🙏🏼 And I’m REALLY hoping I don’t have to wait forever for those MRI results either because the waiting is absolutely brutal.

It’s been such a stressful and exhausting journey, and I’m just ready to get this part OVER WITH. 😭

If you’re the praying kind, I’d appreciate one today. ❤️ And if you’ve been following along through all of this, thank you for being here. It means more than you know.

Now excuse me while I romanticize my fall coffee station and pretend everything is fine. 😂☕️🍁

Hey @mutualofomaha I genuinely want to know how yo Hey @mutualofomaha I genuinely want to know how you think I can safely work as a dental hygienist with extremely noticeable hand tremors and shaking happening all the time.

How can my short-term disability claim be denied while saying I’m still capable of doing a job that requires me to use extremely sharp dental instruments underneath people’s gums every single day?

If I were your dental hygienist, would you feel comfortable trusting me to clean YOUR teeth while my hands are shaking like this? Because I don’t.

I’m not trying to get out of working. I’m trying to protect my patients and myself while I figure out what is happening to my body.

I’ve spent over 10 years working as a dental hygienist, and right now I physically struggle to hold my instruments and perform my job safely because of these tremors. I still don’t have answers or a diagnosis, and I’ve been waiting weeks for a brain MRI to hopefully help determine what’s going on.

But in the meantime, I’m expected to just go to work and continue using sharp instruments in people’s mouths like nothing is wrong?

This is so incredibly frustrating. I want to work. I WANT to be able to work. But I also want to be able to do my job safely and responsibly.

This is what happens when the healthcare system and disability insurance system fail people who are genuinely struggling to work.

If you’ve ever dealt with a denied short-term disability claim, disability insurance, chronic illness, unexplained symptoms, tremors, or being told you’re “fine” when you know something is wrong, I’d love to hear your experience. ❤️

POV: Your cat gets 14 hours of sleep a day but YOU POV: Your cat gets 14 hours of sleep a day but YOU’RE the one who’s exhausted. 😹😂

I just wish I could sleep as peacefully as Toby does for ONE night. Must be nice to have a life where your only responsibilities are deciding when it’s time for your next nap or when you’d like a little snack. 😴🐾

What a life that must be… I’m sure it’s absolutely EXHAUSTING. 🤣

And naturally, he has to get his beauty rest after stepping directly on my face at 3 AM to wake me up. Because apparently my sleep schedule is interfering with his. 😂

Cat life really is something else. 😹🐈‍⬛

The Best Colostrum Brand

For a couple of months now, I have been taking powdered colostrum. Which when I first heard about it, I had no idea really what it was. I was seeing it all over Instagram and my social media. So I decided to research it more and determine why I should started taking it. As well as what the best colostrum brand is.

And after researching, and trying it out myself, I am happy to report that I have came up with the answer! If you’re curious about colostrum and want to know more information, then be sure to check out my post below.

I will be explaining all the benefits to taking colostrum daily and why you should add it into your daily routine too. You may remember I mentioned colostrum back in my post about hair loss a few weeks ago too.

And not only does it benefit your hair, but much, much more too! So definitely keep on reading to find out more about my favorite colostrum products! 

ARMRA

Full disclosure, I am not a healthcare provider or registered dietitian, so please consult your medical providers before taking any kind of new supplement to make sure it is right for you! This post also contains affiliate links, which means I make a small commission off anything you purchase through here, at no additional cost to you. Please read my full privacy policy for more details.

What Is The Best Colostrum Brand?

If you already read my post I mentioned above, then you know I highly recommend ARMRA Colostrum. In my opinion, this brand has worked wonders for me and I have enjoyed taking it. So for this post, I will be talking purely about ARMRA’s colostrum and ways it can benefit you too! ARMRA is nature’s first bioactive whole food bovine colostrum that is uniquely optimized for human health too!  

What Exactly Is Colostrum?

Colostrum is actually a dairy food produced by all mammals within the first 48-72 hours after giving birth. It is the first form of milk that a baby can receive. 

You may have heard of it being referred to as “liquid gold”. Since it is the very first nutrition we receive in life and contains everything else we need to survive and thrive too.

Current research shows that colostrum provides the vital functions of protecting and strengthening the mucosal barriers of newborns. And it activates physiologic pathways at the cellular level as well.

ARMRA colostrum contains over 400 active bioactive nutrients which in turn provides protective antibodies, whole food prebiotics, free amino acids, strengthening peptides, immunoglobulins, trace minerals, tissue growth factors, adaptogens, tissue growth factors, mitochondrial regenerators, antioxidants, and other supportive compounds to name a few!

All of these active ingredients act like a blueprint for the body which in turn helps cellular regeneration and repair. As you can see, it is definitely not just regular cow’s milk. 

ARMRA Scoop

The ARMRA Revival 

We all know that stress, pollutants, toxins, chemicals, medications, nutrient deficiencies, and so much more can damage and affect our bodies.

And in fact more than 90,000 new chemicals have been introduced to the public ever since the 1970s. And do you know how much of them have been tested for safety?! Only 1%!!

So no wonder that modern living damages the mucosal barrier. But thankfully, ARMRA Colostrum™ can help build it back! Continue reading to see how this pure bovine colostrum can help in so many different ways!

The Barrier 

The gut barrier is actually composed of 4 layers:

1. Gut Cell Barrier 

2. Mucous Layer

3. Microbiome

4. Immune Cells and Antibodies 

To have a healthy mucosal barrier means to have it in balance. Allowing the body to absorb all the essential nutrients, but also keeping out all the unhealthy substances we can take in just from breathing, eating, and drinking.

All the items mentioned above can cause this barrier to become more penetrable, which in turn makes it easier for the harmful particles to get inside our bodies. Which includes bacteria, mold, viruses, allergens, and environmental toxins.

All these exposures can make us ill, but also cause the immune system to activate and inappropriately trigger inflammation. In turn, this leads to so many modern health issues.

Such as allergies, weight gain, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, bloating, mental fog, sleep disturbances, anxiety, depression, and so much more!

But again, ARMRA is formulated to help your body build back a better barrier and support a healthy microbiome.

The Best Colostrum
I love adding the unflavored colostrum into my morning iced coffee!

Benefits Of ARMA Colostrum

By taking ARMRA daily, you can experience so many beneficial effects to your body. Antibodies can strengthen your immune system and optimize cellular health for whole body benefits. I will list some of the key potential benefits and side effects below for you as well.

Fortify Gut Health

If you struggle with boosting like I do, then this product is a lifesaver for you. I always tend to have bloating and digestive tract issues due to my endometriosis.

Sometimes, it doesn’t even matter what I eat, I could have the healthiest diet ever and still feel bloated in the evenings.

So by taking this daily, it has greatly improved this issue for me. ARMA fortifies your entire gut wall, optimizes your microbiome, and strengthens the gut wall. Which in turn blocks out all the irritants that can cause uncomfortable bloating and constipation. 

Strengthen Immunity

I tend to always get sick around the holidays. I joke and say that it’s time for my “Christmas cold”. And working in people’s mouths all day (in case you didn’t know- I’m a registered dental hygienist!) doesn’t seem to help my immune system.

Especially if they come in sick with a cold too. So I was desperate to try something that actually worked and helped strengthen my immune system. I’ve taken all the “immune gummies” and supplements before, but nothing seemed to work for me.

Until I started this. I have been around sick people and have thankfully, not caught anything here recently. And especially heading into the dreaded cold and flu season, I wanted my immune system to be strong and impenetrable!

Since ARMRA strengthens your immune barriers, it blocks out all the unwanted toxins that can come in and weaken the immune system. Keeping you strong and healthy!  

Ignite Metabolism 

All the toxins that enter into your body through a weakened gut barrier can cause a slower metabolism and inflammation.

Taking colostrum can help you absorb more nutrients, support balanced blood sugar levels, and modulates horomones. Such as leptin, which is a fat burning trigger that can boost your peak metabolic performance. 

Improve Mood, Energy, and Focus

​If you want to feel clear and focused throughout the day, you should definitely start taking this! Gut health and brain health are directly related so by taking colostrum, you are supporting the production of hormones like serotonin and GABA.

Which in turn promotes the health of your brain cells. This ultimately translates into improved mood, mental clarity, and clean energy. Which you can experience without a caffeine crash!

The Best Colostrum Brand
You can make several yummy mocktails with the different flavors of colostrum too!

Restore Sleep

ARMRA helps to balance out your cardiac rhythm. Since ARMRA helps revive microbiome health, it in turn fuels synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters that are essential for regulating the sleep cycle.

For example, like melatonin, which when produced at the gut wall is 400x higher than in the brain. 

Support Sinus Health

By taking ARMRA, you can focus on feeling your best all year round! This supplement can seal and strengthen the immune barriers for your nasal passages, sinuses, and lungs!

These barriers can in turn block out all the allergens entering your body and triggering symptoms. This is definitely a must during peak allergy season! Get your immune health back in shape by taking ARMRA daily! 

Enhance Skin Radiance 

Of course you know that glowing skin begins from within. And by taking ARMRA you can get strong anti-inflammatory benefits with prebiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, growth factors, and regenerative peptides that actually help to reverse age-related changes.

Also, helps active collagen production, enhance skin radiance, and strengthen the skin barrier. Which ultimately protects against toxins and UV light damage. 

Activate Hair Growth 

You may remember this from my telogen effluvium hair loss post, but this was one of the main reasons I actually started taking colostrum supplementation.

When you experience hair loss, you are willing to try out anything and everything to reverse it. And luckily for me, not only has my hair improved drastically, but I am experiencing all these other amazing benefits as well.

Studies have shown that ARMRA helps reactive hair follicle stem cells and supports the hair microbiome. Which combats hair loss by reversing the inflammation and blocking chemical damage to the hair follicle. 

Fuel Performance and Recovery 

If you’re into working out and training, taking a colostrum powder is something you should also consider. Preliminary research has shown that taking colostrum can give you up to a 20% improvement in fitness strength, stamina, and endurance.

It’s also been shown that it can decrease your recovery time after exercise to up to 50% as well. By taking colostrum daily, it can enhance nutrient absorption, stop inflammation, and fuel cellular regeneration with peptides, growth factors, and functional nutrients for your best athletic performance yet!

By taking this supplement, you can harness all the strength, recovery support, and mobility that even the most professional athletes have. 

How To Take ARMRA Colostrum

This high-quality supplement is in powder form, which makes it easy to add into many different drinks, smoothies, yogurt, etc. ARMRA Immune Revival is available in several different flavors as well.

I would say the most common one would be their unflavored jar. Even though it states it is unflavored, I think if you add it to just plain water, it kind of makes for a milky fluid. Which isn’t bad, but I do think there is a slight flavor there.

ARMRA Mocktail

I like using this one in my iced coffees, or my pre-workout that I drink. If you add it into something that is already flavored, then you really don’t notice it. And you always want to add it into some kind of cold beverage.

Adding colostrum into something with high heat can damage all the bioactive compounds and whole foods in the product and not be as effective. They also have different flavors such as blood orange, watermelon, and peach (seasonal).

I have tried the blood orange too and really like that one as well. It tastes delicious in regular water, or you can even add it into recipes to make a mocktail with it too! 

ARMRA Mocktail Recipe

Enjoy The Variety Of Health Benefits From Taking Colostrum

​Well, as you can see from all the recent research above, as far as dietary supplements go, ARMRA Colostrum is definitely one of the best!

Who doesn’t want their immune response and immune function to be top notch as we are about to enter cold and flu season?! I know I sure do.

And after reviewing the best colostrum supplements, I think ARMRA is definitely a solid choice. It’s a reputable brand with a very high-quality product so you can easily add this into your daily wellness routine.

And good news for you- you can use my code “Charity” to get 15% off your first order with ARMRA Colostrum! I promise you will love all the gut health benefits and everything else you receive just from taking it daily.

Have you ever tried taking a colostrum supplement like this? Or do you yourself take ARMRA too?! I’d love to hear how you take it below too. Let me know if you have any good mocktail recipes for it! I love trying new ones out!

    I have heard about colostrum from social media adverts and influencers, but I must admit that I never really looked any further into it. Reading this was really interesting as I had no idea it had so many potential benefits!

How can my short-term disability claim be denied while saying I’m still capable of doing a job that requires me to use extremely sharp dental instruments underneath people’s gums every single day?

If I were your dental hygienist, would you feel comfortable trusting me to clean YOUR teeth while my hands are shaking like this? Because I don’t.

I’m not trying to get out of working. I’m trying to protect my patients and myself while I figure out what is happening to my body.

I’ve spent over 10 years working as a dental hygienist, and right now I physically struggle to hold my instruments and perform my job safely because of these tremors. I still don’t have answers or a diagnosis, and I’ve been waiting weeks for a brain MRI to hopefully help determine what’s going on.

But in the meantime, I’m expected to just go to work and continue using sharp instruments in people’s mouths like nothing is wrong?

This is so incredibly frustrating. I want to work. I WANT to be able to work. But I also want to be able to do my job safely and responsibly.

This is what happens when the healthcare system and disability insurance system fail people who are genuinely struggling to work.

If you’ve ever dealt with a denied short-term disability claim, disability insurance, chronic illness, unexplained symptoms, tremors, or being told you’re “fine” when you know something is wrong, I’d love to hear your experience. ❤️

POV: Your cat gets 14 hours of sleep a day but YOU POV: Your cat gets 14 hours of sleep a day but YOU’RE the one who’s exhausted. 😹😂

I just wish I could sleep as peacefully as Toby does for ONE night. Must be nice to have a life where your only responsibilities are deciding when it’s time for your next nap or when you’d like a little snack. 😴🐾

What a life that must be… I’m sure it’s absolutely EXHAUSTING. 🤣

And naturally, he has to get his beauty rest after stepping directly on my face at 3 AM to wake me up. Because apparently my sleep schedule is interfering with his. 😂

Cat life really is something else. 😹🐈‍⬛

PSA: If you want the best faux fall mums, don’t wa PSA: If you want the best faux fall mums, don’t wait… they sell out every single year! 🍂

I know it feels a little early to be thinking about fall decor, but trust me on this one! These realistic faux mums are one of my favorite outdoor fall decorating finds, and they always disappear fast.

Last year I finally swapped my real mums for faux mums, and I haven’t looked back! 🤎 I could never figure out how to keep real mums alive. Too much water? Not enough? Either way, mine never seemed to last more than a few weeks. 😅

Now I can decorate my front porch for fall with beautiful artificial mums that look incredibly real, save money in the long run, and I get to reuse them every single autumn. It’s honestly one of the best fall decor investments I’ve made!

So tell me… 🍁 Are you Team Real Mums or Team Faux Mums? I’d love to know which you prefer (and if you’ve actually mastered keeping real mums alive, please share your secrets! 😂)

Why do husbands suddenly develop selective vision Why do husbands suddenly develop selective vision when they get married?! 😂

Anyone else’s hubby like this?! Because explain to me how this man can spot a golf ball from 100+ yards away… but somehow can’t find the ketchup when it’s literally RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS FACE in the fridge. 🤣

Apparently, he has 4K vision for golf and absolutely ZERO vision for anything I ask him to find. 😂

I guess when it comes to golf, he really knows how to lock in… but when it comes to finding something in the refrigerator? Suddenly he’s legally blind. 💀

Husband humor + marriage humor is truly unmatched. 😂 Tell me I’m not the only one married to a man with selective blindness! 👀

POV: You’re overwhelmed, so naturally you decide t POV: You’re overwhelmed, so naturally you decide to bake something completely from scratch… because adding more work to your plate seems like a GREAT idea. 🤣🍰

I like to tell myself that baking is therapeutic for me, and sometimes it really is! But other times, I’m already in the middle of 17 things and somehow decide that this is the perfect moment to make a homemade dessert from scratch. 😂

Like… am I stress baking or just creating additional stress for myself?! 😜

But honestly, I really do love baking. There’s just something about measuring ingredients, mixing everything together, and ending up with something delicious that makes all the chaos feel worth it. 🤎

Please tell me I’m not the only one who uses baking as therapy and then immediately regrets how much work I just created for myself. 😂👇

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I’ve been dealing with hair loss and I’m currently using minoxidil to help with it. The only downside? It also makes the peach fuzz on my face grow way more intensely and way more quickly… which basically means I’ve been growing myself a little peach fuzz beard. 🤣

Enter my new @michaeltoddbeauty dermaplaning tool! 🙌🏼✨ This at-home dermaplaning tool has seriously been a lifesaver for removing facial hair and peach fuzz. It’s super convenient and easy to use, and I LOVE the spray because it makes every single little hair so much easier to see.
