Have you ever been told that “everything looks fine”—even though you know something isn’t right? You’re not alone. So many women struggle with digestive issues, low energy, and stubborn weight gain, only to feel dismissed when standard tests don’t reveal answers. But just because conventional medicine hasn’t found the root cause doesn’t mean there isn’t one. That’s exactly what happened to Diana. She spent years dealing with bloating, fatigue, and unexplained symptoms, feeling frustrated and stuck. But when she joined the Digestion Detective Solution™, everything changed.

Hi there :) I hope you are well! I wanted to share a quick health tip with you: Have you heard of Vitamin K2-7(if you're a client, the answer is probably yes!)? Well, it’s a powerhouse nutrient that in my opinion(in the conventional and natural/functional medicine communities alike) doesn’t get nearly enough attention—but it plays a huge role in bone strength, blood sugar balance, and even heart disease. ✨ Why it matters:​ ✔️ Helps calcium go where it belongs—into your bones, not arteries, supporting bone health and reducing osteoporosis risk (1)​ ✔️ Supports insulin sensitivity and may help regulate blood sugar levels (2)​ ✔️ May play a role in heart disease prevention/mitigation by reducing arterial stiffness and oxidative stress (3)​ Also, did you know if you take Vitamin D without enough Vitamin K2-7, you can actually create a Vitamin K2-7 deficiency? Isn't that crazy? Most of us don’t get enough from food(the most therapeutic food source is natto, a fermented soybean product- go for it if you haven't tried it- it's definitely an acquired taste!) or our gut(our gut bacteria actually produce it). The good news is, it’s relatively easy to test your levels(osteocalcin through labcorp) and supplement if needed. If you have any questions about how to incorporate it into your routine, book a free consult here!
