Alight Wellness

🚨 PORTLAND — FREE HEALTH SEMINAR TUESDAY NIGHT!

Struggling with belly fat that won’t budge, exhaustion, brain fog, hormonal changes, or chronic inflammation—and wondering why you still don’t feel like yourself?

There may be more going on beneath the surface.

Tuesday night at Alight Wellness, I’m teaching a FREE seminar on hormones, belly fat, exhaustion + inflammation and why getting healthier often requires looking beyond individual symptoms.

We’ll talk about:

🌿 Why hormones, gut health, nutrition, stress and inflammation are so interconnected
🌿 Why “normal” labs don’t always tell the whole story
🌿 Why treating symptoms alone may not create lasting change
🌿 The 5 pillars we use at Alight Wellness to look at health from a whole-person, root-cause perspective
🌿 What a more proactive approach to your health can look like

If you’re tired of chasing symptoms and want to understand a different approach, come join us Tuesday night.

📍 Alight Wellness
6600 SW 92nd Ave, Suite 300

✨At Alight Wellness, health encompasses nourishing foods, movement, key supplements, functional labs, accountability and coaching, and most importantly community and stress reduction. Stress is rampant, increasing inflammation in the body and contributing to chronic disease.
That’s why at Alight Wellness our patients have access to classes that calm the body and mind, such as sound baths, restorative yoga, meditation, and forested walks. We also include mindset classes and a mindset book club to learn how to reframe stress and respond rather than react.
✨An Alight Wellness health journey is a life transformation, helping you live your best life with clarity, energy, and joy.

😀Thank you to our amazing wellness assistant, Aubrey, who offered this beautiful sound bath this past weekend. 💜
So much appreciated!

Vacation doesn’t have to mean giving up the things that help you feel good. 💛
I’m still rehabbing my back, so right now it’s all about asking myself:
What CAN I do?
A sliding door for Pallof presses. An outdoor bench for push-ups and tricep dips. A few bands, weights, my mat and foam roller from home. Nothing fancy.
Just 25 minutes—and it changed how I felt for the rest of the day.
And THAT is why I keep showing up. So I can do the things I love…walk in nature, pet the horses, explore, and enjoy this beautiful life. 🐴🌲
You don’t have to do it perfectly. You don’t have to do a lot.
Start small. Adapt. Take it slow when you need to. And keep showing up for yourself.
Small choices, repeated consistently, create positive change. And you deserve that. ❤️

If you’re ready to start showing up for yourself but aren’t quite sure where to begin—or you want guidance, accountability, and a team in your corner—we’d love to help.

Fall is in the air… and this year, it feels a little different. 🍂❤️

In just a few weeks, both of our boys will head off to the University of Oregon, and just like that… we’ll be empty nesters.

I’m excited for them. So proud of them. And yes—I’ve shed some tears. Maybe more than a few. 🥹

Lately, I’ve found myself soaking in the simplest moments—picking fruit together, laughing, having them home—and thinking about all the memories from the years that somehow went by far too quickly.

There’s something so bittersweet about watching your kids grow into the people you hoped they would become… and realizing that part of loving them is also letting them go.

I know so many moms and dads in our community are feeling this right now too. Maybe you’re sending your first off to college. Maybe your last. Maybe you’re becoming an empty nester like us.

So this post is simply sending a little extra love to all of us navigating this season. ❤️

Here’s to being incredibly proud, a little heartbroken, and deeply grateful—all at the same time.

And to the memories that will forever warm our hearts. 🍎🍂

Wellness is about so much more than what’s on your plate. 💛

It’s connection. Laughter. Creativity. Trying something new. And being surrounded by people who are cheering you on.

We had so much fun at our Paint-a-Postcard Community Class with artist Scott Gellatly — AKA Dr. Hudson’s husband. 🎨😂

Because community isn’t just a fun bonus on your wellness journey. Connection is part of our health, too.

This is Alight. Better health, meaningful connection, support, and a whole lot of fun along the way. ✨

The last couple of months have challenged me. Between illness and hurting my back, I haven’t lifted heavy in nearly two months.

I’ve definitely had moments of thinking, “I’m back to square one.”

But I’m not.

I have nearly four years of strength, consistency and experience behind me. Right now, progress just looks different.

Today it looked like a beautiful 3.5-mile walk through NW Portland with my husband—stairs, roses, laughter, sunshine…and apparently rescuing the cutest baby squirrel who lost its mama. 🐿️❤️

No deadlifts. No bench press. But I moved. I laughed. I lived.

And I know I’ll get back to lifting heavy.

This is why mindset is such an important part of a wellness journey. Setbacks and hard seasons will happen. Sometimes we need help changing the lens from “I’m back at square one” to:

“I’m not starting over. I’m starting from experience.”

At Alight Wellness, we guide and mentor our members through the mindset piece too—because lasting wellness is about so much more than food and exercise.

✨ It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself—and shared a little about what we’re building at Alight Wellness.

We believe getting healthier shouldn’t mean trying to figure everything out on your own.

At Alight, you’re supported by licensed naturopathic doctors and experienced wellness providers who help you understand the bigger picture of your health—and then guide, mentor, and support you as you put that knowledge into action.

Because knowing what to do is one thing. Having a team beside you as you actually DO it is something entirely different. ❤️

And you’re not doing it alone. Our community is a huge part of who we are—bringing together people who want to feel better, get stronger, age well, and create health that lasts.

If you’re ready for a different kind of wellness experience, start with a complimentary Discovery Call. We’d love to learn more about you and see if Alight is the right fit.

The choices we make each day determine the life we live. Choose wisely and honor your beautiful, authentic self. 💜

So beyond grateful for the Alight Community. ❤️

The support, connection, joy, and friendship were palpable at our Alight Wellness Community Potluck.

Because getting healthy isn’t just about knowing what to eat, what supplements to take, or how to exercise. Real, lasting change is so much easier when you have support, guidance, mentoring, and people walking alongside you.

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

This is what I love so much about the community we’ve created at Alight Wellness—a place to learn, grow, connect, be encouraged, and truly feel supported as you work toward getting your health and your life back.

And sometimes, it’s also about gathering around a table, sharing amazing food, laughing together, and simply enjoying life. ❤️

So grateful for every person who is part of this community. This is what health is all about.

✨We are so excited to share our Alight Wellness professional video in the coming weeks!

We had so much fun with and her entire crew .mua !

This video will highlight who we are and why helping people achieve their best health is our absolute passion and joy. 💜

Thank you to our members who shared their stories, participated in community classes (strength training, sound bath, Pilates, and yoga. What a morning!), and were a special part of this process.

And to Chris, Julie B, Ebony, and Malia, you are the best instructors ever! Can’t wait to see the finished video!

Love my Alight Wellness dream team, Laura Buck, Dr. Julie Rhodes, Chris Burch, and Aubrey Buck! Work is not work with you all. Just pure joy and gratitude! 🌟
