Gut health is about SO much more than whether or not you 💩 every day.

I’ve learned that:

✨ Regularity matters — a lot.
✨ Bloating isn’t something you just have to accept.
✨ Cravings and food noise can change when your body is better supported.
✨ Fiber is wildly underrated.
✨ Protein matters, but so does what you’re feeding your microbiome.
✨ Hydration affects digestion more than most people realize.
✨ Stress absolutely shows up in your gut.
✨ Your gut and brain are constantly communicating.
✨ Energy, mood, immune health and metabolism are all connected to what’s happening internally.
✨ Consistency beats the occasional “cleanse” every single time.
✨ You can’t out-supplement poor daily habits.
✨ And feeling “normal” doesn’t necessarily mean feeling GOOD.

Nine years ago, I was tired, overweight, uncomfortable and definitely not 💩💩 like I should.

Today at 56, I have more energy, better digestion, strength, better habits and a completely different understanding of what it means to take care of my body for the future.

I’m still learning. Still adjusting. Still paying attention.

But if I could go back and tell my 2017 self one thing?

Start with the gut.
Then build from there. 👊🏼 by @hughetts

ALLOW ME TO REINTRODUCE MYSELF. 👋🏼

I’m Marlene.

Wife. Mom. Rancher. Health coach. Business builder. Woman of faith.

But rewind to 2017…

I was tired. Overweight. Not 💩💩ing well. 😂 And pretty darn good at faking the confidence game.

Honestly? I just wanted more energy.

I had NO idea what saying yes to my health would change.

Fast forward to 2026, and at 56, healthy looks a whole lot different.

It’s energy to LIVE my days.
Daily 💩💩yep, still talking about it. 😂
CrossFit and building muscle for 66, 76 and 86.
Meal prepping, protein, fiber and hydration because I’m fueling a life not chasing skinny.
Learning about gut health, menopause, brain health, mindset and longevity.

It’s also recovering from brain surgery and realizing just how much those years of taking care of myself mattered.

And these days, health includes something else:

Healthy friendships. Healthy community. Healthy choices about who gets a seat at my table.

This weekend, I literally looked around that table.

Women freely talking about menopause, gut health, strength, longevity, nutrition, mindset, business and LIFE…each bringing something to the conversation.

And I thought…

You really do attract what you are becoming.

I’m not interested in being the woman with all the answers.

I want to keep learning and build alongside women who want MORE too.

More health.
More strength.
More purpose.
More freedom.

Because what started with wanting more energy in 2017 has become a much bigger vision for my life, my family and my business.

I know what I’m building and I’m looking for women who want to build it too.

Healthier. Stronger. Freer. Together.

Are you one of them? 👋🏼 by @hughetts

Okayyyy… apparently we’re rolling straight out of retreat weekend and into CUSTOMER WEEK. 😂🙌🏼

And the timing feels pretty perfect. Because after a whole weekend of conversations about what it actually looks like to take care of ourselves, our gut, our energy, our strength, our hormones, our skin, our bodies as they change…I’m reminded again:

You don’t have to overhaul your whole life.

You just have to be willing to start somewhere. 🤍

You’ve watched long enough…you’ve asked all the questions and made all the excuses…time to stop over thinking and your timing is PERFECTION!

Customer Week just dropped:

🙌🏼 FREE shipping
🙌🏼 $1 wholesale membership
🙌🏼 10% off
🙌🏼 FREE goodies with qualifying orders

And for those that COMEBACK or already my client? When you order 100pv this week there’s a $25 product credit available for you, so message me and I’ll help you figure out your deal.

Gut health.

Feeling better in your own body.

Or maybe you have absolutely NO IDEA where you’d start. 😂

That’s actually my favorite conversation.You tell me what you want to work on. I’ll help you sort through what makes sense—and what doesn’t.

No guessing. No buying ALLLL the things only what you need to work towards the goal😉

Comment WELLNESS or message me privately and we’ll figure out your starting place. 🤍

Here’s to actually showing up for the health we keep saying we want. 🙌🏼 by @hughetts

In putting out a little “Popcorn Questions” sign I knew I it would be fun & informative.

Write down a question.
Drop it in the bucket.
Pull a few throughout the weekend.

Simple.

What I didn’t expect last night to render was how “a few questions” turned into a couple of hours around the table talking about LIFE.

The REAL KIND vs the FAKE KIND.🫶

Women who have lived enough decades to have some stories. Some scars. Some wisdom. Some things we’re still figuring out.

We talked about what we need.
What we want.
What we know now that we didn’t know then.
What we’re still curious about.
What we’ve survived.
What we’re building next.

The good.😊
The hard.😓
The hilarious.🤣
The beautiful.😍

And there was something powerful about women choosing to be vulnerable, not because anyone forced a deep conversation, but because someone was willing to ask a question (or two)…and someone else was willing to answer it truthfully.

No fixing.
No pretending.
Just listening, laughing, sharing, learning and realizing how much we have to give one another after decades of actually living this life.

This is what I hoped Healthy Horizons would be…

A place where we could talk about what it means to be HEALTHY in our bodies, our minds, our homes and our lives and where the conversation could go into the HORIZONS.

Turns out, sometimes all it takes is a bucket, a few pieces of paper and women willing to go there. ❤️ And after decades of living, there’s a whole lot of good, bad and beautiful tucked inside each of us.

Here’s a wellness hill I will die on:

“You need margin in your life.”~Marlene

We talk so much about what we need to ADD for better health.

- [ ] More protein.
- [ ] More water.
- [ ] More movement.
- [ ] More supplements.
- [ ] More steps.

And I do all of these, however sometimes wellness looks like LESS. MARGIN

•Five minutes when nobody needs anything from you.
•Driving without filling the silence.
•Not scheduling something in every open space.
•Taking the walk without the podcast.
•Leaving early enough that you aren’t rushing.
•Sitting outside for a few minutes and letting your brain be where your body is.

I don’t think the goal is a life without stress. THATS NOT REALISTIC! I think we need to get better at giving our bodies and brains opportunities to come DOWN from it. Lowering our cortisol is underrated these days.

And as I prepare for Healthy Horizons Retreat this weekend, I’m thinking about that a lot. Yes, we’re going to talk about food, movement, hormones, gut health, strength, aging and longevity. But I’ve intentionally left some blank spaces, too. Because maybe one of the healthiest things we can do this weekend is simply not rush to the next thing.

So today’s Wellness Wednesday question:

Where could you create 10 minutes of margin today? At the 💦watering trough like my 🐄 friend here staring into the sunrise?

Not to accomplish something.

Just to be. 🤎 by @hughetts

I keep thinking about how easy it is this time of year to say…

“I’ll start after the holidays.”

And then somehow January becomes the magical date when we’re finally going to take care of ourselves again.

But we still have THREE MONTHS left in 2026. 🤍

Three months to move more.
To eat a little better.
To work on our gut health.
To prioritize protein, fiber and hydration.
To build some strength.
To simply feel better in our own bodies.

Not with some huge overhaul.
Not with perfection.
And definitely not by putting life on hold through the holidays.

Boy have I heard that many times over the years. It’s hard to watch some of my friends still in the wait and struggle phase yet another year. 🫶

But the timing happens to be pretty great right NOW as there are some really good savings available through the end of the month, and I have a little something extra I can add for anyone who’s ready to get started (or started again).

So maybe this is your sign to stop saying “January” “When” or even “But”.

We have October, November AND December sitting right in front of us. 🔥

If you’ve been thinking about making some changes but aren’t sure where to begin, comment NOW and I’ll reach out.

No New Year’s resolution required.
We just start now. 💪🏼 by @hughetts
