Chasing health versus creating health may seem pre

Chasing health versus creating health may seem pretty similar but let me tell you, they are vastly different.

You see chasing health is temporary. It’s the quick fix. It’s doing AIP, PALEO, SIBO, or KETO diets and expecting that all your symptoms will go away.

It’s short-sighted.

Chasing health is constantly jumping from one thing to the next (kind of like what Doug does in the movie UP when he sees a squirrel).

The problem is that with the chase you only ever make temporary progress.

It’s sort of like the game of tag.

And let’s face it, tag, after a while, can get ultra exhausting.

Regression usually happens when you chase health because the root causes are not addressed. Inflammation may be handled a bit, but it generally comes right back because the underlying problem is still there.

In contrast, creating health takes purposeful, step-by-step actions that literally redesign your lifestyle.

In creating health, there is simplicity and rest that are found.

Confusion and information overload don’t happen when you are creating health.

Creating health is devoid of lab result overload, too much too fast, all kinds of practitioners, lots of money, and being stretched thin.

With the chase, you chase, symptoms, lab results, tons of supplements, and things become cluttered and hugely distracting.

By creating health, you move away from trying to do too much.

🔹You do less.
🔹You move toward slowing down.
🔹You become intentional.
🔹You become aware.
🔹You reconnect with YOUR body and listen to what it is whispering to you that it needs.

When you create health, you create a life that supports you in all the areas.

And it’s then that you begin to truly and deeply heal.

Root causes are addressed and ultimately your life and health change forever.

The results of creating health are long-term, never temporary.

It’s a journey and a simple process to wellness.

Which path are you on? Chasing health or creating health.

If you're ready to create health in your body, I can guide you in the process through Wellspring™. Doors are open right now!

An 8-mile hike would've been near impossible in 20

An 8-mile hike would've been near impossible in 2013 when I was so sick.

It always amazes me the power that food has to give the body what it needs to heal.

I am in awe of the influence the mind has on whether the body heals or not.

The effectiveness that detoxifying the body and lifestyle have on bringing back vitality and life to the body has me standing in amazement.

If you would have told me on that fateful January day in 2013 when I came home from the emergency room, having spent our last $1000, that just 7 months later I wouldn't need to sleep 13 hours a night just to be up for one, I wouldn't be plagued with suicidal depression, I wouldn't have eczema and swelling all over my body and itch insanely every time I ate, I would not have believed you.

But I would've been wrong.

Mindset, using food as medicine and detoxifying your body and lifestyle literally gave me my life back after Hashimoto's.

Working on root cause healing using foundational wellness principles is what I am passionate about teaching women because I know, just like me, they can have a full, able-bodied life again too!

I’m Jennifer Brightbill, ex-unhealthy girl turne $I’m Jennifer Brightbill, ex-unhealthy girl turned crunchy mama, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and founder of the Wellspring™ Membership Experience. It was almost a decade ago that I was 96 pounds, covered in debilitating eczema and on my death bed from Hashimoto’s, intestinal permeability, and many co-infections. Fast forward past much physical and emotional pain and being the health guinea pig and you’ll see the thriving healthy life, filled with joy that I live today. One that teaches and inspires women, and one that has allowed me to feel better than I ever thought possible! One that, at a certain point I lost all hope of having. Just for you, I took 10 years of research, schooling, clinical experience from my practice and my own successful healing modalities and condensed them into an easy-to-follow whole-body wellness program called created Wellspring™. It will help you heal the way I did for a fraction of the time and a fraction of the cost. I only wish I had this program 10 years ago! My husband reminded me, however, that if I had, I would never have been able to create and share Wellspring™ with you! If you’re a Christian woman struggling with chronic symptoms and you're ready to turn your health around naturally, or you’ve been on the journey a while and not quite getting the results you need or want, you’re in the right place, friend! Wellspring™ open enrollment is happening today! You can tap my bio on this image to get the details and enroll: https://feastingonjoy.com/wellspring.

The stealth infection connection to autoimmune dis

The stealth infection connection to autoimmune disease cannot be ignored.

In my almost 10 years of researching silent/stealth infections as well as oral health, and helping women heal from chronic illness, I have yet to meet someone who has not had a chronic infection going on in the body.

Infections can hide in tissues, organs and cells and can quite literally hijack the body and mind causing massively debilitating symptoms.

For example, did you know that in a study of 5000 removed root-canaled teeth, 100% of them were infected with disease-causing bacteria?

The bacteria from infected teeth (that are often painless) have been implicated in studies that they contribute to heart disease and heart attacks!

In the case of Rheumatoid Arthritis, these pathogens: Proteus mirablis, Rubella virus, Bartonella, Yersinia are found as root causes.

Crohn's Disease can be caused by Mycobacterium and/or H. Pylori.

Epstein Barr Virus is associated with at least 33 autoimmune conditions (Herpes viruses target the brain and immune system) including:
‣ Multiple Sclerosis
‣ Thyroiditis
‣ Cardiomyopathy
‣ Lupus
‣ Sjogren's syndrome

If you have chronic symptoms and or an autoimmune diagnosis, I urge you to dig into hidden infections in your body and then address them.

Conquering this root cause can literally give you your life back (like it did for me). I will share my story in a later post and some stories.

You can't just go after infections willy nilly though. There is a correct and safe way to do it so that the infections don't just transfer from one part of the body to another.

I teach my Wellspring™ members all about HOW to conquer stealth and silent infections and exactly how to fix their oral health safely and effectively so they can live a full life again.

Health and healing is not about what diet you're f

Health and healing is not about what diet you're following. 🔥

It's about eating properly prepared nutrient-dense whole food.

It's about getting lots of color in your foods!

It's about nourishing YOUR body and fueling it with what it needs.

Ditch the diets and eat like this:
▶ Get as many colors as you can on your plate each meal
▶ Always enjoy a high-quality fat, wild grass-fed and finished or pastured animal protein, and a properly prepared complex carbohydrate together.
▶ Find out your ancestry and eat from your roots (that's what your DNA likes!)
▶ Chew your food
▶ Eat with gratitude
▶ Hydrate every day with filtered mineral water (don't drink it with meals though)

When you eat like this, after a meal you will be satiated and not crave "something" else.

You will end your meal with complete satisfaction and feel amazing!

PS - Properly Prepared Nutrient Dense (PPND) whole food tastes delicious- especially when it's is high quality!

You won't be deprived.

You will be fueling your body with exactly what it's asking for so it can operate optimally.

Are you ready to feel well?!?!

Then ditch the diet you're following and eat for your bio-individuality following these simple principles.

Tell me in the comments what food your body loves and makes you feel awesome!

You'd be surprised what a healthy mindset can get

You'd be surprised what a healthy mindset can get you through!

Even in the hardest valleys and in the most challenging seasons of life, you can thrive because you routinely do these 7 practices.

✅ Speaking hope-filled Scripture shifts your perspective, decreases stress and reduces negative emotions.

✅ Biblical meditation helps center your mind on God and WHO he is which improves resilience by bringing you to the present and the TRUTH of His Word.

✅ Taking advantage of trusted support helps you manage stress better and reduces sympathetic state (stress) hormones. Talking it out can be therapeutic.

✅ Laughing protects your brain and neurons against the damage that stress and worry can cause. It increases your body's energetic frequency.

✅ Moving your body removes stagnation in the lymphatic system which boosts your mood and provides the cells more energy.

✅ Spending time in nature provides grounding effects on the body which improves your physiological state as well as your physical health.

✅ Finding your purpose promotes longevity and hope. Serving others gives your pain a voice and brings a deep reward both emotionally and physically. It aids in recovery!

Root Causes of Thyroid Dysfunction Did you know t

Root Causes of Thyroid Dysfunction

Did you know that when you have a disease involving the thyroid gland, the actual thyroid gland is not the problem?

What I mean by that is your thyroid gland is the innocent bystander of systems gone rogue in the body.

It suffers the consequences of foundations in the body gone awry.

So in order to fix the thyroid gland that is either underproducing or overproducing thyroid hormones causing a cascade of symptoms, you have to identify and address your root causes.

When you give attention to those, the thyroid gland will get back into the swing of things and function correctly!

It's actually quite amazing how God designed our bodies.

Tap my bio on this image to read my article all about what the root causes are, and how to detect and address the root causes of thyroid dysfunction.

It's not drinking 8 cups of water per day. Hydrat

It's not drinking 8 cups of water per day.

Hydration is BIO-INDIVIDUAL.

That means that the amount of water you need to drink will vary from the amount someone else needs to drink.

Before we talk about the formula for the optimal amount, we need to talk about the quality of your water.

Never, ever, ever drink tap water. It is chock full of pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, antibiotics, halides like fluoride (which competes with iodine uptake for the thyroid gland) and pesticides and herbicides.

Always drink filtered water. You can tap my bio on this image to go to the link where I teach all about water filters and what the best options are. I also have an entire module in my membership Wellspring™ dedicated to hydration!

You also always want to be sure your water has electrolyte minerals in it. Your body needs those macro and micro minerals.

I add minerals to my water (you can find my liquid mineral choice in my Fullscript Dispensary) and I also like to add a pinch of Himalayan pink salt, especially in the first water I have of the day.

To get adequately hydrated be sure to do all of the above and follow this formula: Drink half your body weight in ounces of water each day AND for every 8 oz. of diuretic you drink, add 16 more ounces of water!

Diuretics are: coffee, soda (please say no to those always), fruit juices, teas, and energy drinks (please say no to those always).

Most humans are grossly dehydrated. Don't be one of them. https://feastingonjoy.com/is-water-killing-your-thyroid-comprehensive-guide-clean-water/

Tips for Conquering Allergies Holistically 🌱 D

Tips for Conquering Allergies Holistically 🌱

Did you know that the reason you get seasonal allergies is rooted in your gut health?

Yep, it's true.

✔Working on maintaining optimal gut integrity all year long is crucial to surviving allergy "seasons" without getting allergies.

If you want to know what to eat to heal your gut, check out my feed because I just posted about Gut Healing Foods.

✔Another dietary way you can help relieve allergies is by ingesting organic, raw local honey. It helps your immune system naturally acclimate to the allergens in your area.

✔Drinking Nettle tea daily is a great addition as well because it is a natural antihistamine and is full of vitamin C.

✔Though I don't get allergies anymore when I used to have them severely, I swore by the Neti Pot. I would rinse with saline water and one drop each of doTERRA Lavender oil, doTERRA Frankincense and doTERRA Eucalyptus. Now, if I was rinsing for allergies I would also add 1 drop of 3$ food grade hydrogen peroxide.

✔I also like to use a Propolis supplement (linked in my Fullscript account). *Those with autoimmune disease, start very slow on propolis supplements because sometimes a person can have a negative reaction.

✔Another one of our go-to's for acute allergy relief is the trio of oils pictured - Lemon, Lavender and Peppermint.

They each have specific helpful properties for that mast cell reaction that happens when an antigen ramps up the immune system.

I wrote an entire article about how to use these oils and one surprise oil blend that we utilize as well!
