Sharing the best ways to use FSA and HSA funds before they expire.

Hi friends! How are you? I hope that your morning is off to a great start! We’re here in full holiday mode; I’m really trying to finish everything this week. I started holiday baking but everything has been consumed lol so I’m starting over (and storing some in the garage freezer!).

I’m also starting to plan for the new year and 2026 content. I’m so excited for everything coming up this next year!

For today’s post, I wanted to share some tips on how to use FSA and HSA funds before they expire, since I know many of you are also in holiday mode and it might not be on your radar. (We don’t have these accounts but it’s something I’m exploring in the new year since we love wellness essentials and lab testing). I’m also tempted to start this because this is the first thing I’d buy. 

The reality is that every year, thousands of people leave money on the table simply because they’re not sure what actually qualifies for HSA and FSA spending.

The good news is that there are so many smart, legitimate ways to use these funds to support your health – especially if you’re focused on prevention, inflammation reduction, hormone balance, and long-term wellness.

I wanted to chat about some of the best ways to use your FSA and HSA funds before they expire, including some of my favorite wellness tools, functional health options, and practical purchases that actually move the needle for how you feel.

First, a Quick Refresher: FSA vs. HSA

What is the difference between FSA and HSA?

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)

– Typically “use it or lose it” by the end of the year

– Employer-sponsored

– Covers eligible medical expenses

Health Savings Accounts (HSA)

– Funds roll over year to year

– Available with high-deductible health plans

– Can be used for many of the same eligible expenses

Always check your specific plan rules, but the categories below are commonly eligible.

(A little tip: you can toggle Amazon for FSA/HSA eligible)

1. Functional Health Testing (A Huge Opportunity)

One of the best uses of FSA/HSA dollars is testing, especially if you’ve been struggling with fatigue, inflammation, gut issues, or hormone changes.

Eligible tests may include:

– Food sensitivity testing

– Minerals and heavy metals

– Stress,

Sharing some of my favorite gift ideas for fitness and wellness enthusaists, biohackers, and *scrunchy* friends (or even yourself!) this holiday season.

Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you’re having an amazing week so far. It’s a quick week that ends with shopping and pie – we’ve got this!!

It’s been a busy one over here. Monday night was Liv’s confirmation, so we celebrated with dinner and crazy milkshakes afterwards. The Pilot was on a trip, but I’m excited that he’ll be here for Thanksgiving. What do you have planned? We’re going to my uncle’s as usual, and then heading to Trevor and Danielle’s for a bit.

For today’s post, I wanted to share a roundup of my favorite wellness, fitness, and biohacking gifts! This is a perfect gift for your *scrunchy* friends… or even yourself. Let’s be real; the best sales of the year happen this weekend, so it’s the perfect time to stock up on wellness essentials, especially if you have health-related goals as we head into the new year.

It’s also worth mentioning here that a lot of the things on this list are nice/fun to have, but not essential. The most important health tools are free, like sunshine, stress management, connection, movement, and solid nutrition.

Learn how seed cycling supports hormone balance naturally. Discover which seeds to eat, when to eat them, and how to start this simple daily ritual. Not medical advice; just sharing some tips and as always, talk with your doctor before making any changes in your routine.

Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you’re having a lovely morning so far! Don’t forget to check out this year’s holiday guide gift for her. I had so much fun putting this one together!

Today, I wanted to talk about a natural hormone support strategy that’s been gaining popularity over the past few years: seed cycling!

It’s one of those gentle, food-based strategies that’s been trending in women’s wellness for good reason: it’s simple, inexpensive, and can make a noticeable difference in how you feel throughout your cycle.

Today, I wanted to chat a bit about what seed cycling is, how it supports hormone balance, and how to get started, including tips on what seeds to use, when to eat them, and how to make this an easy part of your routine.

Seed Cycling for Hormone Balance: What It Is and How to Start

What Is Seed Cycling?

Seed cycling is a natural practice that uses specific types of seeds to support the two main phases of your menstrual cycle: the follicular phase (first half) and the luteal phase (second half).

Each group of seeds contains nutrients that can help encourage healthy estrogen and progesterone levels, which are two of the key hormones that fluctuate during your cycle. By rotating the seeds based on your cycle phase, you’re providing your body with a steady rhythm of hormonal support.

Seed cycling can also be beneficial for women who are experiencing irregular cycles, perimenopausal changes, or symptoms of hormone imbalance like mood swings, acne, PMS, or fatigue.

How Seed Cycling Works

The idea behind seed cycling is that different seeds provide nutrients that naturally help balance hormones throughout the month:

During the Follicular Phase (Days 1–14):

Flax seeds and pumpkin seeds are used.

These seeds contain lignans and zinc, which can help support healthy estrogen metabolism and follicle development.

Flaxseeds also contain fiber and omega-3 fatty acids that can support detoxification and reduce inflammation.

During the Luteal Phase (Days 15–28):

Sesame seeds and sunflower seeds are used.

Sesame seeds provide zinc and lignans that help prevent estrogen dominance, while sunflower seeds are rich in selenium and vitamin E to support progesterone production and overall hormone balance.

If you’re not menstruating or your cycles are irregular, you can simply follow the moon cycle: start flax and pumpkin on the new moon and switch to sesame and sunflower on the full moon.

Benefits of Seed Cycling for Hormone Balance

While seed cycling isn’t a magic cure-all, many women report meaningful benefits when they stay consistent.<

Sharing something I’ve been working on to help you turn your certification into a profitable business. Learn how Revenue Rx helps health coaches make money online with proven systems and support.

Hi friends! How are you? I’m here in Florida for the Reimagining Health Summit and ready to connect with fellow IHPs and learn as much as possible. I’ll definitely share a full recap when I’m back!!

I’m also super excited and honored to be presenting on a panel with some rockstar IHP friends. Please send me all of your good vibes lol.

For today’s post, I wanted to share a little something that I’ve been working on behind the scenes for the past couple of months. I did a small soft launch to a target section of my newsletter list just to see how it would do, and our first cohort is already crushing it, so I’m doing a big announcement now.

I’m excited to tell you about Revenue Rx: designed to help health coaches set up their online business and make money online.

If you’ve earned your health coaching certification but feel completely stuck on what to do next, you’re not alone.

So many new health coaches and integrative practitioners come out of their programs full of passion – ready to help people feel their best – but no one teaches them how to actually run a business. You get your certification in the mail and it’s just like, “Welp! Good luck!”

You know how to help your clients get results, but how do you find those clients? How do you price your services? What should you even post online?

That’s exactly why I created Revenue Rx: a 12-week accelerator program that helps new and growing health coaches confidently build and launch a business that helps them help others.. and actually makes money.
