Hiiii friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and that you’re enjoying the morning. Today I wanted to chat about one of my favorite topics: IHP.

If you’ve been following along here for a while, you know that I’ve spent years building out my nutrition and fitness coaching practice and that I’m someone who genuinely loves learning. I’ve collected a lot of certifications over the years (Precision Nutrition, NASM Personal Trainer, Weight Loss Specialist, Women’s Fitness Specialist, Corrective Exercise Specialist, 200-hour yoga RYT, and more), and each one has added something meaningful to the way I work with clients.

But there was always a gap.

Working with nutrition clients online, I kept running into situations where I knew something deeper was going on – a hormonal imbalance, a gut issue, a mineral deficiency – and all I could do was refer out. Suggesting specific labs or interpreting test results is simply not within the scope of practice for a nutrition coach or personal trainer. I’d added other practitioners to my team who could run those tests, but as my online practice grew, I wanted to be able to do this work myself.

That’s what led me to the Integrative Health Practitioner (IHP) certification, and after completing both Level 1 and Level 2 (over 100 hours of coursework, continuing education, and some very challenging tests later), I can give you a thorough, honest picture of what to expect.

IHP Certification Review: What I Learned, What It Costs, and Is It Worth It (2026)

What Is the IHP Certification?

The Integrative Health Practitioner certification was created by Dr. Stephen Cabral, a Board Certified Doctor of Naturopathy, founder of EquiLife and the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute, and author of the international bestseller The Rain Barrel Effect. (If you haven’t read it yet, get it. It’s free!) After nearly 20 years, over 600,000 pages of research, dozens of certifications in the natural health field, and over a quarter of a million private client sessions…. Dr. Cabral is the real deal.

I’d been following him on Instagram for a couple of years and had him as a guest on the podcast before I enrolled. When we wrapped up the podcast, I knew I wanted to learn as much as I could from him, and when

Sharing a full review of the Cured Nutrition Serenity Gummies and if I think they’re worth it. You can use the code GINAH here for free shipping!

Hi friends! I hope your week is off to a great start and hope you had a wonderful weekend. Today I’m excited to share something with you that I’ve added to my routine that’s been quite a gamechanger.

Earlier this year, my nervous system was in a rough spot.

We had just gotten Lola (our wild cute crazy puppy), it was right after the holidays, and I was deep in that tired but wired phase. Even when she was sleeping, I was lying in bed wide awake because I knew we had to take her out every couple of hours. It honestly felt like having a newborn again. Add in some behind-the-scenes life stress, and my brain just refused to turn off at night.

I’d hit the pillow exhausted, but instead of falling asleep, I’d just lay there thinking about everything. For someone who LOVES sleep and values every moment she can get, this was devastating for me. Lack of sleep affects me on a deep level – I think it’s a huge reason why I had such a challenging postpartum experience – and I felt absolutely horrible.

One night, in a slightly desperate moment, I remembered that Cured Nutrition had sent me their Serenity Gummies to try. I took half of one, climbed into bed, and hoped for the best.

Friends, I slept like a baby (you know, the kind of baby that actually sleeps. I heard they do exist).

Like deep, restful sleep. I had dreams (which I hadn’t had in a while), stayed asleep, and woke up feeling like a completely different person.

It was definitely one of those “okay, I need to tell my friends about this” moments.

So today, I wanted to put together a full Cured Nutrition Serenity Gummies review: what’s in them, how they work, and whether they’re actually worth it.

Cured Nutrition Serenity Gummies Review

What are Cured Nutrition Serenity Gummies?

Serenity Gummies are a blend of adaptogens, cannabinoids, and calming nutrients designed to help your body shift out of stress mode and into a more relaxed, parasympathetic state aka they help take the edge off so you can actually relax.

They’re not marketed as a hardcore sleep aid or knock-you-out supplement. Instead, they’re more about supporting your nervous system, which is often the real issue when sleep feels off.

This is exactly how I use them.

My Experience with Cured CBD gummies

I don’t take these every night.

I reach for them when I can tell that I’m extra stressed and might have a harder time winding down.

For me, that looks like:

Mind racing when I hit the pillow

Feeling physically tired but ment

Hi hi! How are you? I hope you’re having a lovely morning so far! I’m off to the kids’ school for a bit and have a podcast interview later today. I also have to stop by UPS to send back my latest Vivrelle bag; one of my faves I’ve borrowed so far!

For today’s post, I figured I’d share a full review of Vivrelle now that I’ve been using their service (and loooooving it) for the past few months.

If you’ve been wanting to try different designer bags and jewelry without the designer price tag, you’ve probably heard of Vivrelle.

It’s been around for a while, but I feel like it has surged in popularity recently. Today I figured I’d chat about what it costs, the brands they carry, and whether it’s actually worth it.

TLDR version: I LOVE IT, but it might not be for everyone. Let’s break it all down.

Vivrelle Review: Is It Worth It? (My Honest Thoughts + How It Works)

What is Vivrelle?

Vivrelle is a luxury accessories membership that gives you access to a shared closet of designer handbags, jewelry, watches, and more for a monthly fee.

Instead of buying a $2,500 bag, you can borrow it, wear it as long as you want, and then swap it for something new.

It’s pretty much like Rent the Runway, but for designer bags and jewelry. (My full review of Rent the Runway Unlimited is here!)

How Vivrelle Works

The process is actually really simple:

Apply for a membership (they do a quick approval process. It doesn’t take long, I promise)

Choose your membership tier

Browse their collection and select an item

Your item ships to your door (shipping and returns are included)

Keep it as long as you want, then swap it out for something new

There’s also no strict return deadline. You can keep an item for a month or longer if you love it.

If you really fall in love with something, you can actually purchase it at a discounted member price, which is a huge perk.

Vivrelle Membership Cost

Vivrelle has multiple pricing tiers depending on what level of luxury you want access to.

Typical pricing looks like this:

Premier: around $45–$49/month (jewelry + select bags)

Classique: around $119–$139/month (bags up to ~$4,000 value)

Sharing a recap of our experience with the Barcelona gluten-free food tour.

Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you’re having a great week. We’re enjoying being back at home even though we’re definitely missing our Spain adventures. After 5 weeks in Europe, I definitely got used to that life 😉

Something we learned during our trip: how much we all LOVED Barcelona. It was our first time and since the Pilot wasn’t able to make it to the part of the trip – he was there for the last four days of our time there – we told him we just have to go back.

A major highlight: the gluten-free food tour, lead by Dvir Bar.

As you guys know, we’re major foodies and love checking out new foods and restaurants locally and when we travel. I’ve been strict gluten-free for two years now as part of my healing journey, and back in January, we learned that P had a severe gluten sensitivity. While I’ve been around the gluten-free block for a while, P is still learning.. and is sometimes (very understandably) disppointed when there isn’t a gluten-free option for her.

To brighten her Barcelona day, I did some research for gluten-free options, and discovered that Barcelona is a HAVEN for gluten-free food options and that they had popular gluten-free food tour. I signed us up instantly.

When the day arrived, P and I were pretty pumped about it. Liv was a good sport and excited to try some new foods.

Our guide, Dvir, was absolutely wonderful. He spoke English (our group of 11 people wer

Sharing the details on the NEW Organifi creatine gummies. Use the code FITNESSISTA at checkout for a discount. This blog post has been sitting here ready to go for over a month but the gummies sold out as soon as they were released. They’re finally back in stock so I can share the details with you!

Hi friends! How are you? I hope you’re having a lovely morning. We’re here working on homeschool fun and I have a couple of client appointments this afternoon. If you’re interested in 1:1 coaching, please let me know ASAP – I have two open spots before we head out of the country for a while.

Ok friend, so you know I’m all about sharing the latest and greatest in wellness, and I’m really excited about this one. Organifi launched something new and they are AMAZING: Creatine Gummies!

If you’ve been curious about creatine but don’t love the idea of mixing powders or dealing with scoops, this is such a simple way to try it. They’re delicious, easy to take, and packed with benefits to support your workouts, recovery, and even your brain.

Organifi Creatine Gummies Review

So, what’s the deal with creatine?

Creatine is one of the most studied and trusted supplements in the fitness world, and for good reason. It can help your body produce more ATP (your main source of cellular energy), which means more strength, endurance, and faster recovery. It’s also been shown to support brain health, cognitive function, and even mood, especially during times of stress. If you think it’s just for gym bros, it’s definitely not!

Here are some of the benefits of creatine:

Improved strength and performance: Creatine can help muscles work harder and recover faster, which can lead to noticeable improvements in strength and stamina.

Faster recovery: By reducing muscle breakdown and inflammation, creatine can help shorten recovery time between workouts.

Increased muscular endurance: It can delay fatigue so you can push through longer or more intense training sessions.

Supports cognitive health: New research is showing creatine’s benefits for the brain like potential for improved memory, mental clarity, and stress resilience.

Helps reduce muscle soreness and supports joint health: Especially when paired with anti-inflammatory ingredients like tart cherry.

What’s in these gummies?

Creatine Monohydrate: The most effective and well-researched form of creatine.
VitaCherry Sport: A tart cherry extract that can help reduce inflammation, ease soreness, and support joint recovery. I’m a huge fan of this ingredient.

And of course, they’re made with Organifi’s clean standards:

Glyphosate residue-free

Gluten-fre
