How to Boost Your Immune System by Starting With Your Gut Health

I received this product for free from Moms Meet (momsmeet.com) to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links.

What do think about when you read the words “GUT HEALTH”? Is it fiber and water? Veggie cleanse? Maybe probiotics and prebiotic? I used to think it was so simple!

Your digestive track is completely made up of bacteria good and bad! Ever heard the word micro-biome or leaky gut?

When you have an over production of bad bacteria it can cause a lowered immune system which can make weight loss extremely difficult, cause depression and make your mind foggy, and make you more susceptible to catching colds!

Why You Should Dispose of Unwanted or Expired Medications

This shop has been compensated by Inmar Intelligence and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #AprilDrugTakeBackDayWA

I don’t always get personal on the blog, but when you have a passion for the subject matter, you want to make more people aware so they can avoid the same type of scenario.

I know I have talked about family before who struggled with addiction, but I feel this is super important so I am going to speak out again. In Washington, it’s National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on April 30th, which is great because there are LifeInCheck Consumer Drug Take-back ™ kiosk to discard unwanted and expired prescription drugs. However, you cannot discard pet medications or needles in the state of Washington.

Find Health Coverage for Your Way of Living During Open Enrollment with Washington Healthplanfinder

I’ve partnered with the Washington Healthplanfinder to share information about open enrollment (Nov 1st-December 15th). As always, all opinions are my own.

For the last 2 years, we’ve collaborated with Washington Healthplanfinder, where I shared personal stories and talked about affordable health care after my husband lost his job (below), and where my husband’s previous employer didn’t offer spousal insurance.

We all know 2020/2021 has been a wild ride, to say the least, which could be an understatement for most people. My husband ended up losing his job around March 2020, which meant we lost all of our insurance plans for all 4 of us. We panicked about not being able to afford bills because unemployment was a nightmare to get started, but, thankfully there were resources available to keep us afloat in this time of need.

Since we had a great experience with Washington Healthplanfinder before, we knew they would be the best option for us to sign up for health insurance in the meantime so we would have the financial safeguard if any type of emergency were to suddenly pop up. We didn’t want the possibility of a costly medical bill without health coverage to put us into debt and add more stress to the already stressful 2 years.

With 2 small children, our dream is to be healthy, and we can’t do that without staying active, getting vitamin D outside, eating healthy, taking our minerals and vitamins, and having health coverage to keep ailments at bay
