Find Balance

At Livin 80.20, wellness is rooted in balance — not perfection.

We believe true health comes from nourishing the body, supporting the nervous system, restoring metabolic health, and creating sustainable habits that fit real life.

As a mother, wife, and critical care nurse, I’ve witnessed firsthand what happens when health is neglected and individuals are left navigating chronic stress, inflammation, exhaustion, and burnout. That experience led me to pursue a deeper understanding of holistic wellness, herbalism, and root-cause health support.

My mission is to help others reconnect with their bodies before reaching a place of crisis. Through 1:1 coaching, education, lifestyle guidance, and herbal support, I help clients build realistic routines that support long-term wellness from the inside out.

At Livin 80.20, we focus on:

Metabolic wellness
Nervous system support
Whole-food nourishment
Lifestyle & habit coaching
Herbal wellness education
Sustainable balance for everyday life

This is not about extremes.

It’s about learning how to support your body consistently while still enjoying life along the way.

Here you can explore our wellness services, shop handcrafted herbal creations, and begin building a healthier, more balanced lifestyle with confidence and autonomy.

A balance in mind, body, and soul.

Welcome to Livin 80.20.

Stress on your nervous system in the number 1 thing wrecking your health journey.

The brain fog, tingling, cravings, fatigue... symptoms are your body communicating. But how long do you leave alarms going off while you hit snooze?

Your nervous system wasn’t designed for constant stress.

If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, reactive, or just “off,” start with the basics before looking for another supplement or quick fix.

5 simple ways to help regulate your nervous system:

1. 🌿 Take 5 slow, deep breaths before every meal.
2. 🕊️ Slow down. You don’t have to rush through life.
3. 🏡 Protect your peace—and the people you allow into your space.
4. 🙏 Release your worries to God (or take time to surrender what you can’t control).
5. 📵 Disconnect from social media and constant noise. Your brain needs quiet.

Small habits, repeated daily, can help your body feel safe again.

Which one do you need to work on the most? 👇

Settling in to our home and finding our peace in our rhythm. While some nights are admittedly girl dinners, I strive for majority of our meals to be home cooked, nutritious, and made with love.

And having a little helper makes it even more fun (and a bit longer lol)

✨ Inositol
Inositol is a vitamin-like compound that plays an important role in insulin signaling, hormone balance, and cellular communication. It may help support blood sugar regulation, ovulation in women with PCOS, mood, and overall metabolic health. Comment "SUGAR" and I'll send you the link for your new fav blood sugar balancing supplement 🫶

🌙 Magnesium Glycinate
Magnesium glycinate is a highly absorbable form of magnesium known for its calming effects. It can support restful sleep, muscle relaxation, healthy stress response, blood sugar regulation, and hundreds of essential biochemical processes throughout the body.

🌊 Sea Moss
Sea moss is a mineral-rich sea vegetable that provides iodine, potassium, magnesium, and other trace minerals that support thyroid health, energy production, immune function, and overall wellness. It’s a simple way to help replenish minerals many people don’t get enough of.

🌱 Herbs + Tinctures
herbs have historically been used for thousands of years in treating and eating in common ailments. Many of today's conditions are the result of symptoms that go unaddressed. By learning and using herbs and creating tinctures to work with the body and promote healing and function of biological processes, we create an optimal environment for healing, recovery, and health.

Disclaimer: I do not believe it is wise to take any and all supplements without direct support and advice of a knowledgeable practitioner. Protocols and guidance can be key in your health journey to ensure safety and effectiveness. Always consult with your provider

I mean.... I just think it's pretty chic to vibe with your damn self and take care of your vessel.

Health + Wealth + Happiness
Mind + Body + Soul
Nourish + Restore + Heal

This is where we bridge real health 🤝 with nature 🌱

#holisticwellness #plantmedicine #herbalism #restorativesleep #nervoussystemregulation

Homeopathy is ancient medicine. And as an Ex-ICU RN and fellow parent, drugs are my last resort.

I believe when we create an optimal environment to promote healing, not only do you obtain symptom relief, but also true, quick healing.

When we use drugs like DayQuil or mucinex, essentially we are shutting down receptors in the body = reduced symptoms.

But under the surface your body is still fighting.

If you provide nutrients, the body gets better faster! You feel better faster!

And when you focus on nutrition and key supplementation like Elderberry syrup, vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc, you may find you spend this next cold season much healthier than ever before 😉☀️🍛

I mean just imagine Swiss cheese🧀 (gut lining) trying to absorb nutrients, maintain function, and communicate with your brain!!

Now imagine all these roots 🪾 (neurons) branch down into the gut to obtain neurotransmitters from gut producing bacteria and create an optimal environment for happiness, clear thoughts, interconnected body system . 🧠😶‍🌫️🤓

The nervous system and gut are very interconnected. I think this is a PART ONE. Let me know your thoughts in the comments questions and what you'd like me to expand on for PART TWO ✌️ maybe let's draw pictures for all your visual learners out there and you can see my wonderful artist skills 🤣

Somehow protein became another marketing buzzword.
Protein lip balm? Really..??

While companies race to add protein to everything from candy to beauty products, many people are still under-eating actual protein from whole foods.

Protein isn’t just for building muscle. It’s essential for blood sugar regulation, hormone production, immune function, tissue repair, satiety, and long-term metabolic health.

Before buying the newest “high-protein” product, ask yourself:

Have I prioritized real sources of protein today? Because real food provides real nourishment.

Pretty packages filled with "protein" just are NOT the same.

Foundations will always outperform fads. 💪🥩

#protein #bloodsugarbalance #musclebuilding #longevity #foundationalwellness

Nip the oatmeal and toast in the morning, or running on just a handful of berries and nuts with a cup of coffee to carry you along. This sets the body up for inflammation, stress, and running on sugar spikes and crashes.

Sugar = destruction

Protein + fiber = stability

Take the time to ensure a protein/fiber rich breakfast.

Some mornings are busy and out the door early so meal prepping may be your best friend

Think ground beef patties, boiled eggs, nut butters, avocado, berries, protein shake, etc

Make time to fuel your body and begin building habits to sustain wellness and strength.

Liv

Watching your babies grow and express interests is the coolest. Especially when it's things you loved growing up too. Gymnastics remains at the core of my soul.

Throwing some flips, hopping back up on a beam, or muscling through some kips on a bar - I absolutely love the gym. And coaching was one of my favorite eras of my life.

Coaching kids and watching them persevere to learn through hard things is the coolest, most rewarding feeling ever.

My son offers me the world of action figures, super hero's, race cars, and monster trucks! Fun, fast, fighting.

My daughter fits right on in there with her brother but still offers all things girly too. Nails, gymnastics, horses, and makeup.

It's the best of both worlds. And as my little one develops a love for the gym, my heart grows and grows.

Oh Hiiiii! Pool side Essentials comin at ya! 🌊☀️

Did you know nutrient deficiencies can further perpetuate sunburn. Your skin is your LARGEST living organ. If you are saturated in sugar, lacking in essential fatty acids and key nutrients like vitamin D, C, and E... your risk of sunburn is rising

Those seed oils and processed foods... they're oxidizing your cells faster. Aka AGING YOU FASTER! Becauuussseee YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT...

The secret to youth can't be bought in a bottle my friends. It's foundational.

Simple changes. Raw foods. Real movement. Natural light. Nutrient dense diets that provide the essentials.

It's not rocket science... just the basics 😘

While many of you see me as a nurse with knowledge, I see me as a mother and an ally who cares for the people.

I became a nurse to care for those outside of my family tree. I thought I would help heal them and support them through their darkest days and see them go out and live their best life after.

I had my children and in doing so, I refused to have them behind hospital doors and then I began to question the standards of what I was supposed to inject into their bodies and why?

"Why" is the biggest question you should be asking.

And I began to read, map out timelines & ingredients.

Instead of going to my Wellness baby checks and just saying "OK, this is the standard, give it"

instead I said, give me the insert and let me read it and decide if that is safe and effective for my child or not.

Is my child at higher risk of getting sick or are they at higher risk of getting a side effect from these?

And as a nurse myself - I was trained to be the hand that injects this into the children. You newborn. To look you in the eye and confirm "yes it is safe and the healthiest thing for your baby."

The more I read the more I could NOT do that! I could not lie to you! I could not tell you to only introduce one food to your child at a time while simultaneously injecting known carcinogens and heavy metals directly into your baby's bloodstream.

And it was my job too...

I began to reflect on many medication's across-the-board. The ingredients that existed inside of them and the fact that many of them were just a boatload of chemicals and preservatives in fluid with a little bit of .

I envision mixing medication's and people's bodies as I infused drips upon drips in the ICU and I felt like I was in the magic school bus watching bombs go off all throughout their body with no idea of what was happening between these medication's inside as they mix mixed. Because the research truly doesn't exist to fully understand how everything interacts within one being.

So I left. And now I educate you before crisis. And I always encourage you to Do. Your. Own. Research.

#HealthcareTruth #CriticalCareNurse #FunctionalNurse #WakeUp #yourhealthisuptoyou

Fauci plead the fifth on 111 counts of Covid madness and massacre. And you think it was just him? You don't think there was big players funneling the pockets to say the things that were meant to be said and wanted to be said.

The same goes across the board. The big players write our standards, they lobby for what they want us to follow and provide. The standards for policies and procedures to be followed.

Big P lobbies for big websites like Cleveland clinic, Mayo clinic, Endocrine Society to say the things they want said

Do you think that big Pharma would ever want something natural and available to win over one of their drugs? Why do you think they slam statins like candy, lower the cholesterol standard to do so, and no mention of Berberine to you?

A manufacturer that is completely immune and not held liable for the pain and suffering they cause upon others is not to be trusted.

Not only has there been no true placebo safety testing, but some states do not even allow personal or religious exemptions. Thus they make it more difficult for your child to live and they make you bend to their will.

So how is Roni 💉 different?

The national childhood immunization act doesn't protect your kids, it protects big Pharma. It protects manufacturers from ever being targeted for your child or you to prove harm from them

$.75 from our tax dollars for every 💉 given are put into a fund to pay out to cases that are actually able to prove vaccine injury.

The makers are never hit never held liable and you and I suffer.

The stats are not accurate, we don't know what to believe.

So what I encourage you to do, is go do YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

ASK BETTER QUESTIONS

THINK FOR YOURSELF

Because then you'll know exactly what you should and shouldn't believe.

I believe in informed consent. And when you start digging through the research you realize that you may say no more often than you say yes to a lot of what they want to make you do

#faucisucks #takebackyourhealth #ourkidsmatter #saveourchildren #wakeup

I'm breathing and rewiring from years of chronic stress as someone who is fairly good at managing stress...

My work as a nurse placed me in an environment of dangerous drugs, radiation, fluorescent lights, lack of hydration and meals, long hours, poor sleep, the list goes on

Motherhood with babies gave me restless nights, caring for everyone else more than myself, and running on empty when I had nothing left...

Marriage posed learning curves and making changes to understand childhood traumas and how to communicate kindly and thoroughly...

All a constant work in progress. BUT THATS JUST IT! Livin 80/20 surround PROGRESS over PERFECTION.

My nervous system was fried. And I could tell by how my body felt in stillness. The anxiousness, the fidgeting, the heart rate, breathing rate, thoughts wondering and yelling to get up.... and I knew I need deeper work

☀️Waking up and going for a walk
🌱Grounding outside in the sunshine
☕️Creating time windows for silence and self reflection
🐮Eating protein rich meals and actually sitting down
💦Hydrating thoroughly
🌙Sipping tea in the evening, dimming lights, and putting my phone down before entering my bedroom
🪱 Using herbs and healthy foods to cleanse my body and open up any clogged pathways

Your HEALTH can NOT be sold to you. And can only be crafted by YOU!

And you and I are both very aware of all the marketing surrounding the latest "health hack"

I am not hear to sell you a quick fix.
I'm here to hold you accountable.
I'm here to educate you to a point where you are so confident in yourself, you know you can take over the reigns and live a healthy beautiful life.

Happy to have ya!

Your body is always communicating.

Symptoms aren’t the enemy—they’re often signals that something deeper needs your attention.

Modern medicine has an important place, especially in emergencies and life-threatening situations. But somewhere along the way, many of us were taught that every symptom needs to be silenced immediately rather than asking, Why is this happening?

Fever? Tylenol.
Pain? Ibuprofen.
Cramping? Midol
Acne? Birth control

As a functional nurse, I believe healing starts by supporting the body—not just suppressing what it’s trying to tell us.

Plants have been used across cultures for generations to nourish the body and support its natural healing processes. They don’t replace the need for medical care when it’s necessary, but they can be powerful tools alongside healthy nutrition, rest, hydration, and lifestyle.

When my 4-year-old recently developed a high fever, my focus wasn’t simply on making the number disappear. My focus was on supporting his body while monitoring him closely.

Here’s what we did:
• A lukewarm bath for comfort (not a cold bath).
• Lots of snuggles and skin-to-skin comfort to help him relax and his heart rate, breathing, and temperature to regulate.
• Plenty of fluids and nourishment. Real homemade chicken soup, not Campbells.
• Elderberry syrup as part of our supportive wellness routine. High vitamin A & C
• A cool cloth on his forehead for comfort.
• Close observation of his symptoms and how he was acting.

12 hrs later - cleared.

A fever itself isn’t always the problem. Often, it’s a sign that the immune system is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

A child may have a 104 fever, eating well, drinking water, playing in between.

Another child may have a 101 fever, lethargic, nauseous, not drinking... now that would absolutely make me lean more concerned to seek medical help.

The question isn’t always, “How do I make this symptom disappear?”

Sometimes the better question is:
“What is my body trying to tell me?”

*This is not medical advice. High fevers—especially in infants, prolonged fevers, or fevers accompanied by concerning symptoms—should always be evaluated by a healthcare professional.*

Well I heard the news, cyclospora is in town wrecking havoc on some of your guts.

The good news is, the stronger and more capable the vessel, the harder it is for invaders to harm you.

- open detox pathways
- good stomach acid
- strong gut lining
- clear healthy brain
- clear communication system
- nourished cells

Your body is an ecosystem, a vessel, an entire working system all on its own. When you give it real nourishment and tools, it gets sh** done for you.

As in... it heals its own damn self.

What's funny is our ancestors survived hundred of thousands of years living alongside these nasty creatures. How?

Because they knew plants heal and how to use them. Big P just found out how to take the compounds from a plant, make them synthetic, and make you pay an arm and a leg for it with a laundry list of side effects attached. Herbs and plants don't cause the same problem for you.

follow the money hunny, and you'll realize exactly why you haven't been educated on the importance of a good ole fashion parasite cleanse let alone keeping your system flushing and detoxing.

Liv

Baby girl marks 3 years around the sun 🎉🫶 and mamas wanted an Elsa cake. So we made one together. ❄️🎂

Making our birthday cakes together is one of my favorite childhood memories I've created for my babies. I hope they know how much I love this life with them �💌🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

Super stoked to feed the fam @capital.farms for the next few months

Ordering local meat has been top of the list for our family! It's a hard price tag to meet at first, but you end up saving so much money, family stocked for months, and quality meat raised humanely and right!

I always would tell my hubby - I don't want to eat sad miserable cows. That's no way an animal should be treated. I care about the life they lived and the quality of how they were raised. God's way.

In the last 90 days, our world flipped. And we had no idea what was in store for us. 🤯

There were a few bumps along the way but in all, the stars simply just aligned.

Every time I take a step and look around I think "wow, we live here? How are we so beyond blessed?" 🙏

I've spent the last 5 days unpacking and I am simply exhausted. And we have my little one's birthday to celebrate this weekend too!! Boy oh boy is it busy. 🎉

So excuse me while 'm a bit MIA from here for a bit. I'm busy making our home OUR HOME 😍☺️💌🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

Be Brave and Do "crazy" shit!

I started this business while still enslaved to hospital policies.

I worked in an environment of skeptics.

I was the "holistic woo woo" nurse that often got a side eye.

I'm sure I worked alongside so haters and doubters...

But that didn't stop me from persisting and following my dream

I refused to stay miserable and stuck. So I made a change and found my real purpose with the skills I was blessed with.

My friend, you can change your situation and build a career that fulfills you rather than drains you.

You never know if you never try, so just jump and do the thing your been scared to start.

INVEST IN YOUR HEALTH.

Insurance premiums keep you trapped

I'm all about waking up early, getting my day organized and coffee inside my soul, asking my littles what they wanna do and goin with the flow.

We often spend our mornings eating breakfast, playing outside, swimming, cuddling, going on walks, going to the park...

We run errands, ride bikes, and do school work in between.

Sometimes at a table with books and markers

Sometimes outside digging in the the dirt or playing with chalk

Some days I get work done throughout or in cracks of the day. Sometimes not at all as I dedicate it to my family and instead stay up an extra hour or two.

Now sometimes we are up and at it with things to do or a class to attend. But when majority of life is Stress mode and Go Go Go... that's just simply EXHAUSTING.

We made quite a bit of sacrifice to homeschool our children - coming from two people who went in to life together with the belief we would be a two income household..

We thought our kids would just go to the best schools..

But then we started thinking differently.

Our lens widening

And I sat back and thought, there's no way I will let any g0v tell me what I can and can't do with my child.

And I knew I could do a better job

And I realized the whole system and idea of rushing to school 5 days a week on top of work for most + homework + sports + all the birthdays/play dates/etc... no wonder we are stressed and EXHAUSTED

So sacrifices were made... we changed our thinking. And instead we get to spend our days a bit slower. A bit more intentional..

My Friend, I want to serve you.

I've heard time and time again

"I wish someone would have told me that sooner"

"You take the kind of time to educate that I've never received from another provider"

"You care so much, I can feel it"

"You actually hear me, instead of gas lighting me like previous providers"

"Wow they said everything was normal, but I can see how all my symptoms align with these results"

"You are so knowledgeable"

All these little compliments are reminders I'm doing exactly what I'm meant too. I didn't learn all this stuff for nothin, and I definitely don't want to bogard such incredible information.

Strengthening my knowledge of not only caring for myself and managing my body, but also how to care for those we love... that's the kind of love I want to spread.

Healing. wholesome. individualized.
