My Year with Plexus: How Healing My Gut Changed My Life

One year ago, as I was making myself my second latte of the morning and wondering if I could get the kids to play quietly in the afternoon so I could take a nap, the thought hit me that I hadn’t been this tired when Sunshine was a baby.

Back then, I’d made myself one coffee a day just because I liked having a hot drink to sip when I sat down to write while she napped, and not because I desperately needed the caffeine jolt to keep me going. Sure, I now have five kids to chase instead of one, but that didn’t seem to be reason enough for my continual exhaustion.

Something more was going on. That realization was the start of my gut health journey with Plexus.

If you are also an exhausted mama, or dealing with other minor health problems like occasional depression or patches of eczema, I invite you to read my story and see if anything rings a bell with you. Over the last year, I’ve learned the many ways that gut health affects our overall health. Healing my gut has also cleared up many of the symptoms I was experiencing and brushing off as “minor” or just trying to ignore because I was too busy as a mom chasing my kids to take care of myself.

Until one day that changed, thanks to Plexus…

My Childhood

When I was growing up, my mom cooked and baked all of our food from scratch. We bought our milk (both cow’s and goat’s) directly from local dairy farmers. We raised a huge garden each summer and put up the produce ourselves in the fall. We also had an orchard of apple trees and a long line of raspberry bushes. Mom bought huge cases of fruit each fall to can. We raised our own sheep , chickens, turkeys and geese to put in the freezer. Our food was as organic and unprocessed as you could get.

We were also active as a family. My brothers and I rode our bikes all over our neighbourhood with our friends. We played baseball in the summer and hockey in the winters. We went for family walks together several times a week. In my teen years, Mom and I swam laps together twice a week. Both swimming and biking were good ways to relieve stress, so if I had a bad day, I’d often jump on my bike and ride hard for 12 to 20 km before coming home again. Family vacations involved backpacking in Jasper National Park.

Lifestyle Changes

Then I started university and, four years later, got married. I was no longer as active as I’d once been. My husband had different meal and cooking expectations, and I began buying more of the foods that he was used to eating, such as Kraft Dinner. When we both went back to university just after our second daughter’s birth, our tight budget and busy schedules further changed our eating habits. Organic ? Too expensive. Baking from scratch? No time.

Those were also years of high stress. Unemployment, frequent moves, university deadlines, childcare problems, prenatal care provider concerns , and more left its toll on me. We were busy and exhausted but there wasn’t anything to do but to just keep going… one day at a time, one course at a time.

When university ended, we had a brief respite as we moved out of Family Housing to a rural rental home in Sooke. It felt like a return to my childhood. I was a stay-at-home mom again as I’d always wanted to be. We lived in a quiet, peaceful setting. I couldn’t have a garden there, but I did have more time to cook and bake again. One source of stress (university) was over, but others remained.

Fast forward to last year, when I stopped and took stock of my health and my life. I was exhausted all the time—drinking four cups of coffee a day to keep myself going, trying to sneak a nap whenever I could, and feeling bad that I was grumpy and short with my kids. I had a pesky patch of eczema on my finger that itched like crazy some days and wouldn’t go away, no matter what creams I tried . I had a few “bad days” (I didn’t want to call them depression) every few weeks, and dreaded December and January because my depression tended to get worse then.

A Naturopath’s Advice

I had tried seeing my family doctor about my eczema. I spent more time in his waiting room than in his office. He barely glanced at my finger when I said it was itchy, diagnosed eczema, and gave me a prescription. I didn’t bother filling the prescription; I already knew it didn’t work, because my husband had the same prescription and I’d already tried it. I’d also tried other over-the-counter creams that I had from Jade’s bout with eczema as a toddler; nothing had really helped make my own eczema go away.

Next, I tried a naturopath recommended by a friend of mine. She spent an hour listening to my health concerns and asking questions about my history. She recommended several supplements and cleanses to help with my eczema and exhaustion. She suggested giving up eggs, as she found that eggs often caused eczema among her clients.

I said, “Okay.” Eggs are nice but not necessary.

Then she added, “You could also try taking dairy out of your diet.” At the look on my face, she laughed and said, “It’s probably dairy.”

I followed her advice. I took the supplements, did the cleanses, and gave up dairy and eggs. I had more energy and my eczema cleared up. I tried a few eggs. No reaction from my skin. I had a latte. My eczema flared up, just as itchy as before. I discovered that I liked coconut milk lattes, but it was hard to find substitutes for cheese and yogurt. Our grocery bill was going up as I tried different non-dairy products. It was stressful to plan a dairy-free menu, and to avoid dairy when the rest of the family was still drinking it.

Avoiding dairy didn’t feel like solving a problem, however. I felt like I was missing something. My exhaustion, eczema and depressions were symptoms. Even my food intolerance was a symptom. But a symptom of what? What was causing all these health problems for me? How did I get to the root of the problem?

That’s where my friend Alissa and Plexus came in.

A Friend Introduces Me to Plexus

My childhood friend Alissa had been posting about her journey with Plexus for a couple years. These natural supplements had revolutionized her health. Like me, she was a mom of five kids (with one in heaven) who had also moved a few times. Now, we were both living in BC and homeschooling our kids. She knew the “mom exhaustion” as well as I did, and had experienced various other health problems. She traced most of these back to the antibiotics she’d taken during and after each of her pregnancies.

While I appreciated what Alissa shared, I kept telling myself I was pretty healthy. I’d rarely taken antibiotics. Yet as I looked at the supplements I was taking from my naturopath, and thought about the health concerns I’d brushed off for so many years, I realized I wasn’t as healthy as I thought.

When I looked back to the healthy lifestyle I’d grown up with, and how that had changed once I got married and started having kids, I could see how my gut health had also been impacted. Antibiotics affect our gut microbiome, but so do diet and stress (and many other factors). My dry skin , depression and exhaustion were little messages from my body, trying to tell me that something wasn’t right.

When I mentioned to Alissa what I was going through, she encouraged me to try Plexus. I decided it couldn’t hurt. I could get my supplements from my naturopath, or I could get them through a friend and support a fellow work-at-home mom . I’d already tried and loved one Plexus product— the Joyome Essentials lotions . Plus, Alissa had shared some pretty fantastic Plexus testimonials with me. I couldn’t wait to see what results Plexus would have for me!

Plexus: The Health & Happiness Company

Plexus promotes deep down health, not just quick change. Their products are based on the latest science and health research and are the highest quality non-GMO, 100% vegetarian, and gluten free wherever possible. Plexus supplements pave the way to better digestive health and feed your system to benefit the body and mind. They balance your blood sugar, reduce your inflammation, and improve your gut health to create a healthier, happier YOU.

Our gut microbiomes are like a garden. Symptoms are like thistles that crop up in our garden. Many of us are trying to do things to get those thistles out of the garden. Maybe you’re apply steroid creams to your eczema like I did, or popping over-the-counter allergy medicines. However, instead of rooting out the thistles, we’re just chopping off the head. The roots are still there and the thistles keep growing.

Plexus goes to the root of the problem by getting rid of bad bacteria and feeding good bacteria to restore balance to your gut microbiome and restore your overall health .

As I look back on my Plexus journey from the vantage point of one year, I can see the huge difference it has made in my life. My eczema is gone and I’m once again drinking regular lattes and eating all the cheese and yogurt I want.

I’m no longer an exhausted mama; I’m back to my get-it-all-done self (on most days—sometimes I still stay up a bit too late and pay the price, or get woken up by a restless toddler too many times, but on a daily basis, my energy is back to normal).

And my depression? I can’t remember the last bad day I had. December and January flew past without my usual winter blues. That is huge for me.

If you are dealing with any of the symptoms of leaky gut… even minor symptoms such as mine… I’d recommend doing some research. Type your health problem plus leaky gut into a search bar and see what you can learn. Over the last year, I’ve been amazed at how many health problems are connected to one part of my body… that’s right, my gut!!!

Taking care of my gut , and healing my gut microbiome, has been slowly helping my other health problems. Some symptoms (like my eczema) cleared up right away, while other symptoms (like my irregular cycle) are taking longer to adjust. I remind myself that this is a journey; I didn’t wreck my gut overnight and I won’t fix it overnight, but I’m happy to be on the path to a healthier, happier me .

If you want to know more about gut health and whether Plexus could help you, I’d be happy to chat !

If you’re ready to jump into your own Plexus gut health journey, please connect with me so that I can help you customize the products to your needs!

Proper preoperative preparation is crucial to ensure the best possible outcome from brachial plexus surgery. Here's what to expect before your procedure:

• Consultation and Evaluation : A thorough evaluation by a team of specialists, including neurosurgeons, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, and rehabilitation experts, is necessary to determine the best surgical approach for your unique situation.
• Diagnostic Testing : Various tests, such as nerve conduction studies, electromyography (EMG), and imaging studies (MRI or CT), may be required to assess the extent of your injury and plan the surgical procedure.
• Physical and Mental Health : Ensuring optimal physical and mental health before surgery is essential. Discuss any pre-existing medical conditions, medications, or supplements with your healthcare team, and follow their guidance regarding preoperative preparations.

• Rehabilitation : Physical and occupational therapy are essential for regaining function and strength in the affected arm. A personalized rehabilitation plan will be developed to address your specific needs and goals.
• Follow-up Appointments : Regular follow-up appointments with your surgical team will be necessary to assess your progress, address any concerns, and make adjustments to your rehabilitation plan as needed.

Screen Rant

Sister wives: christine looks super skinny in "menopause maze" post (& other new weight loss transformation photos).

Sister Wives Christine Brown has been transforming her life and her body, over the last years. Check out her incredible weight loss transformation.

• Christine Brown's healthier lifestyle after leaving Kody is evident in her new slim figure and focus on health.
• Plexus supplements have played a role in Christine's weight loss journey, which she shares openly with viewers.
• Christine's newfound happiness with David is reflected in her confident social media posts and active lifestyle.

Sister Wives star Christine Brown has worked hard in the last several years to stay healthy and fit, and her newest photos prove that her determination has paid of f. Christine, who was married to Kody Brown for 30 years before she chose to leave their plural marriage, has been in a better state of mind after meeting and marrying the love of her life. Since Christine began dating David Woolley, her mindset has felt different to Sister Wives viewers. Throughout Sister Wives season 18 , viewers saw Christine advocating for herself and her sister wife Janelle Brown in new, different ways.

After Christine left Kody, there was a renewed sense of excitement and faith in her that viewers weren’t familiar with. Getting out of a situation that she found difficult and unfixable, Christine was finally able to let go of her harsh past and look toward the future. Putting herself first, Christine began to focus on her health . While it appears that Christine hasn’t struggled hard with her weight, there have been moments in her life where it has fluctuated and been noticed by the viewers in ways she didn’t like. In her new photos, Christine shows off her skinny figure .

Christine brown looks pretty in pink (she's so thin now), her new life has been empowering.

In a photo posted to Christine’s Instagram, she’s showing off her new slim figure in a pink shirt that makes her features pop . Promoting her healthy living page, Christine shared, “ It’s a journey of resilience, laughter, and mutual support. I’m inviting you to join this heartwarming exploration.” While Christine isn’t always vocal about her healthy lifestyle, she does share as often as possible about the methods she’s used to lose weight in recent years. After leaving Kody, the Sister Wives star worked hard to prioritize her health, which she partially attributes to Plexus, a line of supplements she works for.

Christine’s Plexus journey has been something that Sister Wives viewers have scrutinized at times, but she has been working with the supplements for years and often shares her experiences with the brand’s products online. While Christine hasn’t divulged the specific amount of weight she’s lost, it’s clear from her photos that her face is slimmer in more recent posts . Christine has opened up about the fact that she’s been eating healthier, having put herself and her husband David on a diet leading up to their nuptials. The pair have been living happily and healthily together since their October 2023 wedding.

Christine Brown's Face Looks So Slim

She’s doing what she can to stay healthy.

In another post where she’s promoting her healthy living page, @healthylivingco_, which she shares with Janelle and their daughters, Maddie Brush and Mykelti Padron, Christine is showing off her slimmer face. “Join me as we navigate these waves together and find our spark,” Christine shared in the post of her wearing a yellow top and using the ASL sign for “I love you”. Christine’s dedication to her healthier lifestyle has been admirable, especially at a time when life likely feels like an emotional rollercoaster. With tough events impacting Christine’s life in recent years, she knows she needs to prioritize herself.

Over the last several years, Christine has moved away from a difficult relationship and family structure to find her own independence, met the love of her life, gotten remarried, and lost a close family member unexpectedly. With so much going on, i t’s likely been hard for Christine to prioritize herself , let alone her health. Showing off her slim face in her new photo, Christine made it clear that she’s not letting everything that’s happened drag her down. Instead, she’s celebrating life and working hard to keep herself in the best possible shape to enjoy every moment with her loved ones.

Christine Brown's Angelic Look Shows Off Her Fit Body

Her time away with david has helped.

In a post that shows off Christine’s sense of humor , she posed in front of a pair of wings, showing off a variety of silly faces for the camera. “What…was I supposed to do? There were wings just standing there needing to be flown,” Christine shared, along with the photos of her in a red dress and a denim vest. Christine often shows off her sense of humor online, but the angelic photoshoot she shared on Instagram helped her to show off her figure , as well. Posing in a sleeveless dress, Christine was able to joke around while looking fantastic.

It’s no secret that Christine’s much happier in her marriage to David than she was with her ex-husband Kody, but the way she’s spoken up on social media, even in posts that are simply joking around to make her followers laugh, proves more than she could ever say aloud. Christine’s entire outlook on life has changed since she met David, and it’s clear in her more casual, easygoing posts online. Christine is often joking around and poking fun at her own life, but the ability to joke just proves that she’s more confident in herself and her body than ever.

Christine Brown's A Domestic Goddess Who Stays Very Active

She does the things she loves with her family.

Although many of Christine’s Instagram posts show her out and about, on trips or working with Plexus, several posts also prove she’s a highly active person. Christine may not be advertising her workouts or sharing what she does in her day-to-day life to stay fit, but she keeps herself moving in creative ways, finding activities to do on her own and with her family. In a post this past winter, Christine shared that she was shoveling the Utah snow . In a post that shares the secrets to her success in the caption, Christine posed in her driveway with a shovel.

While Christine may not be interested in traditional exercise to viewers’ knowledge , it’s clear that she prioritizes her health enough to understand that movement never hurts. She’s been shown to enjoy hikes and some more extreme activities in previous seasons of Sister Wives , but the extent of her physical fitness isn’t typically shown off to viewers. While Christine is working hard to keep her figure slim, she’s also likely working on her health to ensure she’s well enough to continue supporting her family. For the Sister Wives star, being available for her husband and children is the most important thing.

Sister Wives is available to stream on Max.

The Season Journey is, essentially, a list of objectives propelling you through each Diablo 4 season. In exchange for Favor (which is XP for your Battle Pass), the Season Journey will tell you to complete Cellars, upgrade your potions, and do a bunch of other things in-game that you’re probably already doing.

But the Season Journey is more than just individual objectives; it’s grouped up into chapters that get progressively harder as you go along. Completing most of the objectives in a single chapter unlocks the following chapter and earns you a powerful collection of bonuses, like new Legendary Aspects, a chest of gear or crafting materials, and a large hunk of Favor.

In season 3, Season of the Construct , Blizzard untethered the story from the Season Journey objectives, meaning you don’t have to reach a certain chapter in order to continue the seasonal quest.

In this Diablo 4 guide, we’ll list out all of the Season Journey objectives for season 3 — and each chapter’s rewards — for your convenience.
