Hello Friend, Thanks for being here! In this episode we are going to talk about ways to be intentional with your summer (including my own). So often summer can come and go in the blink of an eye and I don't want that for you. I focus on three main areas of intention: Health/Wellness, Relationships, and Boundaries/Slowing Down. I know you will find this episode to be helpful and encouraging as we enter the summer season! Before I dive into the episode I catch you up on life, how we ended our homeschool year, and the fundraising I am doing for the Chicago Marathon that I will be running in October. I am partnering with World Vision this year. Just $50 helps 1 child gain access to clean water. For all donations you can head to this link - Donate To Gabby Flater - Fundraising For 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon My goal is to raise $3,000! I appreciate a donation of any size.  Blessings of Health and Happiness, Gabby   If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    To get in touch with me, share victories, ask questions, give topic ideas, or inquire about any offer I have talked about on the show email me at -  gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Join Our Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com  

Hello! Welcome back to another episode. This episode is all about how I got myself to the start line of my first 50k trail race! I share about all the hurdles I had to overcome and why I am glad I didn't quit. The day turned out to be such an unforgettable experience and I see myself coming back for more. I hope this episode encourages you and inspires you to not quit on yourself and that we can do hard things! If you'd like to skip ahead about 10 minutes or so that's when I start to talk all about it.

On today's episode we talk about some pretty deep thoughts and ideas. Skip ahead to minute 16 to jump right in to the topic if you don't want to listen to life updates. I share personal thoughts and feelings about what it takes to overcome doubt and fear. I am vulnerable with where I've been and am currently at in certain areas of my life. It's scary to take that leap of faith, to go into the unknown, and work through the thoughts holding you back. I pray this is encouraging and helpful for you to be able to take that first step, no matter how small it is. As always, I appreciate you being here with me and be sure to spread this podcast to others in your life who need a boost of real life encouragement.  Blessings Of Health And Happiness, Gabby If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    To get in touch with me, share victories, ask questions, give topic ideas, or inquire about any offer I have talked about on the show email me at -  gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Join Our Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com  

Hey friends! Today is going to be a great chat! I feel like there is a lot of confusion and differing viewpoints around the whole eating breakfast topic. I'm here to share my take on it and why I find it important, especially, for Mothers with littles, nursing Mothers, and active women in general. Before I jump into the topic for the day I catch you up on some life from the past week and share a quote that stood out to me from a book I was reading. If you want to skip right to the main content then skip ahead about 17 minutes.  I share why it doesn't make you a "healthier" person to skip breakfast all the time, why eating breakfast isn't actually the problem as to why people aren't achieving their health goals, how much protein you should be starting off your day with, some practical tips and food ideas, and much more! Tune in and share with anyone who you know could use some encouragement in this area. When we know better, we do better! I believe in you and your ability to start making these small changes to achieve BIG results and feel so much better in your day to day life.    Blessings of Health and Happiness, Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    To get in touch with me, share victories, ask questions, give topic ideas, or inquire about any offer I have talked about on the show email me at -  gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Join Our Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com

Hello friends! On today's episode we will be talking all things Spring garden! Once you get me talking about plants and gardening there's no shutting me up. I have been growing in my knowledge and mastering this skill for over 10 years now. One thing I want you all to know is that, you CAN grow your own food. Whether it's on a large scale or a small scale, for self sustainability or for an outdoor hobby, it doesn't matter. If you want to try it, go for it. I will say, though, you must be willing to accept failure and grow from it. I share my tips for planting indoors, if you'd rather buy from a local nursery, things you can use but don't need, what plants to start indoors vs direct sowing outside, what are cold hardy plants, and more. I know you'll love this episode and is perfect for aspiring gardeners. Enjoy!   Blessings of Health and Happiness, Gabby Links to things talked about: - Farmers Almanac Website for Planting Dates - MIgardener Youtube Channel  - Roots and Refuge Gardening (I have her book) - Indoor Greenhouse from Amazon - Potting Soil (can also find at Fleet Farm and other garden stores ususally) - Grow Lights  If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    To get in touch with me, share victories, ask questions, give topic ideas, or inquire about any offer I have talked about on the show email me at -  gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Join Our Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com    

I am excited to share with you reflections, lessons I've learned, and habits I've continued in as I've just had another Birthday. I realize I said in the show that they are reflections from my 31st year and my husband ever so kindly corrected me that it would be my 32nd year (ha!). Either way, I look forward to connecting you and sharing some real life takeaways. I think Birthdays are a great time to reflect on the last year and bc it can offer you an opportunity to gain so much gratitude for all you've experienced, and what you can learn from the last year. Blessings of Health and Happiness, Gabby

I share all the highs and lows of the last 10ish weeks, how I kept up with my running, the ways I had to show up for my family and more. Every year looks different but I think each year we get stronger as a husband and wife and family.  I then share with you the things I implement into my every day that help me feel my best and allow me to show up with energy for my family and passions. I know how hard it can be to feel on top of things in terms of your health and wellness as a Mother, but I can say that with a little bit of consistency every day, what you do adds up and becomes habit every day.

Hey Friend, Do you ever struggle to get through trials in your life? Do you find it hard to find any purpose in the hardships that come your way? It can feel so defeating and "why me?" can't it? I am here to shed some light on this topic today and hopefully help open your heart and mind to a whole new perspective on these things that come your way. We all experience that at different tomes and in different ways  but they can be used for good, for a purpose. You have to choose to allow the trials to break you down so that you can grow back that much stronger.  May you be encouraged today to move forward in whatever season of life you are in and be willing to let it shape and mold you not keep you complacent or feeling lowly. You have a life worth living to the fullest every day!   Blessings of Health and Happiness, Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    To get in touch with me, share victories, ask questions, give topic ideas, or inquire about any offer I have talked about on the show email me at -  gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Join Our Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com

Hi Friend! So glad to have you back for this weeks episode. We are doing a little topic roulette and I am HERE FOR IT! I might do ones like this more often, I like the variety of topics we can cover in a short amount of time. I mean that's the goal right? Pack as much as you can in, in the least amount of time.  Well, today you are in for topics revolving around Motherhood and what I have been doing throughout my days as a SAHM (stay at home Mom), How red light therapy works and how it can benefit you, and why I bring my 4 kids grocery shopping with me.  I know you'll gain so much from today's episode! ENJOY   Blessings of Health and Happiness, Gabby 

Hi there my friend! Welcome to this week's episode! I doubted myself as a homeschool Mom but now as we are rounding out year 2 I have gained so much confidence. Whether you homeschool or not, or are even thinking about trying it on for size, I know this episode will be super eye opening and encouraging to you as I share some of my personal insights and experiences.  I have found how much it has worked well for our family and my personality...I thought it had to look just like the school system (what I grew up in) and it is far from it. My kids are thriving! Not only are they learning but they get to apply so much of what they are learning and put it in to real life practice. My favorite part, though, is that my children get to grow up with each other every day, live life together, and learn together. Grab your coffee and tune in with me!   Blessings of Health and Happiness, Gabby   Arrows and Applesauce - Homeschooling Resource I've been using   Birth Story of Estella Ruth - My baby turned 1 and I feel like I just gave birth to her.

Hi Friend! Today on Episode 80. we get real, we talk about deep things, and get vulnerable. We all go through hard seasons but it's all in how we view and handle them that makes all the difference. If you live in the Midwest or an area that tends to experience all the seasons of Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, then I think this will really make sense to you. Each one serves a purpose and just when we are done with a season the next one is right on the horizon. Much of that is like our life, and I hope I can encourage you in this episode to not lose hope in whatever season you are in. God doesn't waste what you are going through if you don't let the opportunity pass you by. I am in a heavy and thick season of motherhood and parenting (tax season for my husband) and I have to be willing to allow the shifts to happen rather than fight my way through it thinking it can look the same when in reality, it can't. I have felt God nudging me in a couple areas to slow down, and ruffling the feathers in my day to day routines/habits.  I pray this episode teaches you the importance of each season, how they build upon each other, and how to embrace them when they feel out of our control (which is majority of the time).

Hi Friend! How many times have you finally gotten to that "something" that you had been putting off and wondered why you waited so long?? It wasn't that hard and it didn't take as long as you made it up in your mind to be. Cue *palm to face* What if you could stop living like that and be free from your excuses and fears?! So often we get in our own way and make up all these stories and lies that keep us from going after what we want to achieve. This episode is meant to encourage you and hopefully light a fire within you to start making the necessary changes for growth. There's no point in living every day feeling guilty about what you didn't get to. That weight eventually becomes too much to bear and you have a breakdown. Let's avoid the breakdowns, the guilt, the stress, the excuses and learn to actually navigate your thoughts and start having breakthroughs by starting to take a small step in the right direction when you say "yes" to that thing.   Blessings of Health and Happiness,  Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Join Our Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com  

Hi Friend! Welcome to this week's episode where we chat about getting in the kitchen and making things from scratch. I know it can be a struggle to either find the time or gain up the courage to go after it but I promise you that the pay off is worth it. You will experience immense reward and satisfaction when you create your own homemade version of a store bought item. The BEST part, in my opinion, is that it's all ingredients you can pronounce and that you are in control of. You would be surprised how much junk is put in foods, even ones you wouldn't think, so if you can begin to take ownership and learn to make your own food your health will thank you for that. Join me as I share my tips, list of foods you can begin swapping from store-bought to homemade, my journey over the years, and how to overcome the hurdles that might be stopping you from trying. I know you'll gain SO much from this episode.    Blessings of Health and Happiness, Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Join Our Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com  

Hi Friend, This week's episode is pretty exciting as I am sharing all about our experience with processing our very own grass fed beef! My parent's own 19 acres of land and have been raising steers for a few years now and this time they raised one for us. They have become self sufficient in this area and have acquired much knowledge and resources to be able to be their own butcher.  We had split the cow with my sister in law and her family so they came and participated as well. It was a great time together and how perfect for us homeschooling families. We had 18 kids under the age of 18 there by the way! I am so thrilled to talk about our experience, how it all went down, our takeaways, how we involved so many different ages, and so much more. I know you'll enjoy this episode and find it very engaging.  Enjoy, Gabby   - Don't have access to local grass fed beef? This is the beef box subscription we used up until now since our freezer is full. WE loved the meat from Riverbend Ranch and were blown away not only by the quality of meat but by how affordable it was compared to other company's out there.

If one side of this equation becomes skewed (from heavy sweating, diarrhea, etc), an electrolyte imbalance can result. Electrolyte deficiency in particular leads to symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and muscle cramps.  Let me tell you about my FAVORITE electrolyte drink that has been a staple in my diet for over 2 years now, LMNT. It is my go to every day as an active Mom who is breastfeeding, exercising, and just keeping up with life in general. These little on the go packets are packed with sodium, magnesium, and potassium.

Hi friend, Welcome to this weeks episode. Do you live in an area where the winter season has hit? Is it hard to show up more and more because of the dark cold months? You are not alone! I live in the Midwest and getting outside, seeing some sunshine can be hard to come by. Not to mention I stay home with my 4 children and we homeschool, so the days can fee long or I can feel trapped in endless chaos when we can't so easily get outside.  I want to send some encouragement and practical tips your way in today's episode. I have implemented these things into my life and have seen how much it has helped with how my days go and how I feel both physically and mentally. I want you to thrive and not sit back and let 3 or 4 months go by that leave you feeling lost and less than.  This time can be YOUR time just like any other season in life. May you be encouraged today and start taking action to make this winter your best one yet!   Blessings of health and happiness,  Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Join Our Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com

Hi Friend, I realized I had not done a final episode covering how the end of our garden season went, all the things we grew and harvested, how we preserved it all, and the journey along the way. I will be honest and say this was my first year where it felt harder to make time for the garden and get in there to truly just appreciate it. It felt more like a chore a times than a passion/hobby. Maybe it's just the transition to momming 4 little humans this year and my brains capacity to enter in to everything 100% isn't there. But aren't I the energizer bunny?? haha, for real though.  I did have some good takeaways and we were blessed with a wonderful bounty. Our chickens that we acquired in early July are now laying and it is SO exciting. I share some updates on them and how we are tending to them on the little land we have.  I know you'll find some encouragement and life lessons in this episode. Enjoy!

Hi friend, Bringing you a topic today that has been on my list and I am pretty excited about it. If you are someone who exercises, eats a fairly whole foods diet, breastfeeding, or just an active individual in general then you MUST be taking in electrolytes. I have always been one to use electrolytes but I didn't pay attention much to the sodium levels I was consuming. I was NOT getting enough and once I changed what I was using I wouldn't go back. Sodium is an electrolyte mineral that is required for our body to function at it's best and help our body communicate well beneath the surface. It has gotten a bad rap and unless you have medical conditions that would caution you otherwise to seek out professional advice, you probably aren't getting enough. Just drinking water alone will not hydrate you. Come and tune in to this episode to learn more and get yourself some high quality delicious electrolytes to up your wellness game and feel amazing throughout your days.    My FAVE brands are: LMNT - I have one almost every day. Click this link to get a FREE sample pack with any order and get free shipping always.    Redmond Re-lyte - I will alternate with using this one too or take this one in addition to my LMNT later in the day if I need a pick me up.

Hi friend, I am excited to share with you how my journey back to running after my 4th baby led me to a half marathon PR since 2017! Running has been a HUGE part of my life but it has had to start and stop many a time since we've decided to grow a family over the last 7 years. It is never going to be the same as it was pre baby, so I have had to learn how to move forward. In this episode I share what I focused on before returning back to running, how I eased my way back in to running, how I built back up my speed, and why I chose to race at 7 months post partum.  I know you'll find this story encouraging and inspiring. My hope for all Mamas is that they can safely return back to the fitness they love most. It takes work but it's worth it!

Hey Friend, It's another year of homeschool for us and I now have 2 kiddos in it full time. Whether or not you have kids at homeschooling age yet or don't homeschool I hope this can still encourage you and provide a different perspective. Come and see what subjects we are focusing on, what kinds of resources we use for math, writing, reading, history, etc. We don't touch on every single subject but that really isn't my goal. I was 100% schooled in the school system and my husband was 100% homeschooled so we are a blend of both. I have had to unlearn a lot of things and learn new things.  It's been exciting and scary at the same time! I have found, though, that this suits us well, I CAN do this, and my kids are learning SO much. Not every day is perfect bc let's face it I have 4 kids from ages 6 down to 7 months old. Sometimes I just have to roll with the punches and adjust my expectations when necessary.  We are thriving already and can't wait to delve into a chicken study course since now we have some ourselves. We will also be ever learning about preserving food, canning, and gardening as part of it all.    Here are some links to a handful of things we are using if you care to look in to them or if you have questions: Math - Math U See Spelling - Spelling U See Speed Drills - Math Speed Drills  History and Books - Tuttle Twins Printable Learning Activities and Booklets - Arrows and Applesauce Chickens On The Homestead Unit Study - Heritage School House   I pray this blesses you, Gabby   

Hey There! Welcome back to this week's episode. I attended a fitness convention recently and I wanted to make sure I recorded an episode while everything I soaked up was fresh in my mind. I've come to this 2 other years as part of my personal training continuing education and it's always loads of fun as well as information overload! I nerd out with it all though bc I just love getting to hear from all the fitness professionals and try out some new exercises and formats.  I noticed, however, a major theme as I was looking at all the different sessions I could choose from to attend. There were SO many of them focused on mobility, stretching, getting back to basics, helping out clients gain stability, how to help our aging clients stay healthy and continue to reap the benefits of exercise as they get older. It is up to us (me) as fitness professionals to educate you and teach you all how to not fall into the traps the world can lead us in to when it comes to our health and wellness. It's so hard to navigate sometimes. What exercises should I do?, where do I start?, what should I eat?, how much should I be eating?,etc. That's one of the main reasons I began this podcast. To provide a free educational resource for you to have and refer to during those moments.  One of our main session speakers was bold enough to touch on the fact the Big Pharma really doesn't have American's best health interest in mind. The fact of the matter is, it's turned into a big money grab and it's all being made off of those of us who are ill informed. We need people willing to speak up and shed light in those dark areas so more people start seeing it for what it really is. There was a slide that was shared that said, Why don't doctors prescribe personal training or group fitness? "If it was a pill, exercise would be a trillion-dollar moneymaker prescribed to everyone." See where I am going with this? If it's not making "them" money or part of the "protocol" it won't be mentioned or talked about. I want the best for you and to be the one who can maybe present new  perspectives and shed light on these matters that have led Americans so astray. Take ownership for your health, become educated and empowered so you can live an amazing life free of pain, sickness, and medicine.  Tune in to hear me share it all and my passion for what I do!

Hi Friend, This weeks topic is a bit of a heavier one but it's a good one and addresses some hard things we ALL will go through and experience in life. Trauma, Death, Grief...it comes with living life here on this earth. I read a quote that led me to want to talk about it on this podcast and it said this..."Trauma creates changes we don't choose. Healing is about creating changes we do choose." - Michele Rosenthal That resonated with me SO much and I invite you in on a vulnerable and real conversation I have with you. Healing isn't linear...is the goal even to heal? I want you to feel seen and be able to be encouraged by this episode so that you don't keep stuffing the emotions. Feeling the feelings and emotions and having to say no to things bc it's a hard day is all a part of the journey and process. Are you willing to accept that?  As I wrote out these notes, the next day I saw that a well known entrepreneur named, Jessie Lee, had passed at age 34 from stage 4 cancer. LIKE WHAT?! It just broke my heart and I listened to a podcast done by her coach Ed Mylett that left me in tears bc I felt everything he said like it was being spoken to me. Just know that grief is a sign that there was SO much LOVE. Miss them but live a life out loud for whomever or whatever it is that you have lost.  It doesn't always have to pertain to death, there are many things we can grieve in life. When my son was diagnosed with Hemophilia, I grieved the loss of things he won't get to do and the kind of life he will have to live.  If this episode resonates with you or speaks to you then I would love it if you could share this episode online or with someone you know who is going through a tough season. This is for them! God is STILL good, even amidst the hard. He is there to carry the load and offer overflowing peace and grace. Choose to allow Him to help you feel the feelings but learn how to move forward and grow from them. Life is a precious gift, LIVE and LOVE hard my friends.    Love and Peace To You Gabby 

Hey friend! Today we just get right to it. We are headed into the Fall and Winter months and I wanted to encourage you in the areas of taking care of your body and mind as the seasons change. Kids are back to school, maybe you are homeschooling, work schedule is different, whatever it might be, I want you to start recognizing that these seasons come and go every single year but what should remain a constant a priority are your health and wellbeing. You see, once you begin to master the basics and the monotonous day in and day out habits around eating healthier, drinking more water, exercising, getting more sleep, surrounding yourself with uplifting people, etc. it will naturally become effortless to make that a part of your every day.  Stop playing victim to the hamster wheel you find yourself continually on. Pick one thing to start changing and work on it for a week or two before adding on more. Get up 15/20 minutes earlier and build on that, drink a tall glass of water upon waking, set out workout clothes the night before, plan your meals/snacks for the next day....etc. Whatever it might be for you...just show up consistently.  I want to see you thrive in these winter months when it's darker and colder and just less inviting to get up and go. We must master the mundane and realize we must stop letting our emotions and feelings run the day for us. You can overcome them and choose different even when we don't want to.  I know this message will be the kick in the pants you need. Grab your coffee/beverage of choice and take notes, or go on a walk while you tune in. Always rooting for you!   Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com  

Hi Friend!   I am BACK! I took a solid month off to just finish up making some good memories with my little people and husband. I had to recognize I couldn't do it all ( like, I like to think I can haha) We traveled to Washington Island multiple times, one of my sons went on a Father Son getaway to spectate a disc golf tournament for the first time, my hubby passed his 4th and FINAL exam and passed for his CPA certification (YAY!), we had a wedding to get through that some of us were involved in, harvest season in the garden is always exciting and time consuming, and much more! Not to mention these 4 humans can kick my butt some days haha...I am definitely always needed, so I very much rely on my very early morning runs and workouts and Bible Time. God has been good to us and now we are heading in to Fall and more of a school routine.  Today's episode we chat about the importance of sitting down as a family for dinner. I saw someone share something on Instagram about it and it really sunk in and I felt like it would be a great topic of conversation. There are SO many benefits of making family dinners a priority no matter what time they happen or what gets served. It is HUGE in your children's little years as it is such an amazing way to connect with them and everyone can enter in to each other's lives. I share about how I have grown up with it, what it's meant to me now as a parent, the value around it, and all the healthy things it can bring to the home.  I want you to make sure to value your precious family time and guard it during this shifting season of kids going back to school or starting up homeschool, work schedules change, sports and activities take over, or whatever gets in the way...let's make connecting with our loved ones while sharing a delicious meal more normal. It will pay off in the future.  Be Blessed, Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com  

Hey friend! If you've been following me for some time now, you know that I love my sourdough and have been baking it since 2020! I've done an episode all about my journey with sourdough and my method so feel free to jump back to Episode #35 to learn more. Today I wanted to share some insights on how to revive your starter and some things I have done when mine has been acting funny. I've noticed that drastic changes in weather have affected it and it's taken a little extra love and attention to bring it back to good health.  I also talk about starters in the fridge vs. room temp. Chances are you didn't kill your starter even though you think you did. It's ok if it smells off, has a little grey hue to it, some water settled at the top...you can still get it going again. I hope this is helpful for you in your sourdough journey! As always, I am SO grateful to have you here in this space and community. May you be encouraged and uplifted by my stories and life journey I share with you.  Blessings of health and happiness, Gabby    Episode 35.// Sourdough Journey and Method I use   If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com 

Hey friends, We will be keeping some of these summer episodes shorter but still packed with value and life lessons. I am here to share with you this week that we have acquired 4 chickens! This has been something I've been wanting for quite some time and it's not like this was some special point in life that it finally worked out, we just decided to pull the plug. I had a friend who had some extra teenage hens that she didn't need and offered me some. I couldn't pass it up! On this episode I share all about how we acquired them, how we are keeping them, why we wanted them, and how we have slowly built our own version of a homestead life over here with an acre of land. You can do a lot with a little and I love what we have built so far! You'll also get to hear what I and the kids named them all.  We are ever learning and ever growing in this life and I am so excited to have jumped into the chicken world. Fresh eggs here we come!!   Enjoy, Gabby   If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com  

Hello! Welcome back to the show. Even if you are not a runner this episode is still worth listening to. You can insert whatever your passion, interest, or hobby is and be able to relate and cultivate your own story. We all are different and choose to pursue the things that light us up and give us joy and purpose. For me, running is one of those BIG outlets in my life that has given me more than I ever could have imagined. It has gotten me through some pretty tough seasons of my life and has allowed me to connect with God and nature to bring more clarity and space to my mind.   In this episode I give a little background on how I started running, the races I've accomplished, the relationships that have come into my life, and all the ways running has shaped and molded me as a person. It has challenged me and taught me SO much. It has been there every time I've come back to it after having my 4 children and each time it has just gotten richer and more meaningful.    My favorite part ,though, is all the amazing humans I have met through this sport, the authentic conversations I get to have with people, and the support I get to give and have been given for the goals and races we all set out to achieve. It's a beautiful thing really. I know this episode will be encouraging and uplifting to you and especially to you runners who I know can relate to much of what I talk about. Whatever your passions and interests are, I hope that you get to cultivate a rich meaning around it, make time and space for it in your life, and share it with some incredible people.    Have a blessed week, Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com

Hey friend! I know this episode is going to be SO helpful especially if you have children. We live in such a digital world where everyone is glued to their screens and staying indoors more. It's not just children/teenagers either, it's us adults as well.  On today's episode I share about the importance of getting ourselves outside right away to start the day, especially in these summer months. It not only has a ton of health benefits it also just sets everyone's moods right to start the day.  I love getting to watch my children use their imagination and learn new skills when playing outside. I am not saying to never let them be on screens but challenge yourself to see what kind of things you can fill up majority of your time with. You'd be surprised! I pray this episode blesses and encourages you.    Happy Summer, Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com

Hello Friend, Today's topic was inspired from a recent speech I gave at a family member's graduation party. I chose the topic of "Focus" (where is your focus). I had some positive feedback and I really felt led to share it here.  Our world, more than ever, is booming with distractions. If we aren't careful, they can begin to impact and blur our vision and dreams. You must know what those distractions and and be able to combat them when they present themselves. Become aware of them and how to respond to them so you can continue to move in the direction you want. Keep your focus on God's truths and allow Him to help navigate you through life.  Know that what "you focus on, you find." Nothing in life was meant to always come easy or be free of trials and temptations but nothing GREAT has ever come from an easy, "trial free" life. I pray this message encourages and blesses you.    Stay focused my friend, Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com  

Hi friend! After a little life update we cruise right into the topic on a supplement called Creatine. I have recently started using it and was blown away at all the things I was learning about it. I knew I had to share this information with you all because I know that you desire to live a long healthy life and this can help! I had no idea all the benefits that came from creatine and that it wasn't just for the gym goers or muscle gains.  The many benefits of creatine are amazing and something to take into consideration as a supplement you can take regularly. Look for creatine monohydrate when finding one. We talk about the many benefits in the episode but just to share a few:  Provides cellular energy Enhances cognitive function Fat Loss/Lean Muscle Stabilizes Glucose Speeds up recovery from workouts Promotes bone health Don't those all sound amazing? And that's not even all of them. I know you'll find this episode insightful and educational. Health for the long run is always my goal and this is one thing I have found that will be able to help support my body long term.

Hey Friend! Welcome back to this week's episode. I never understood how Mom's would sometimes forget to eat or just barely have time to fit it in. Now having 4 children of my own, I do, I get it! haha. The purpose of today's topic is to bring back awareness to why we must be intentional with fueling our bodies during Motherhood. Especially during pregnancies, postpartum healing, and to keep up with the season of life of little people. Also, we must think long term and if you desire to do things with your older children and then your grandchildren. Wouldn't it be incredible to be in such a great physical and mental state to be able to participate and engage in so much adventure in the life ahead and not be burdened by a sick, weak, unhealthy body? I am sharing why I gravitated back towards tracking my food after having my 4th child. How I came back to the basics, why I am not being so strict, and how it's helping me make sure I eat enough (especially protein). My goal is to encourage you as Mom's to take ownership of your health and well-being. That you would recognize that taking care of you allows you to show up as your best self for your family. It won't always look perfect bc I know I have already had the days where I wasn't so focused on tracking or being mindful but when I have this tool in my pocket I can pull it back out at start right up again the next day. It holds me accountable and reminds me of the goal. Tracking my food religiously is not the goal, the goal is to create the awareness when I am going to put something in my mouth and creating better habits that will serve me long term through the ups and downs in Motherhood seasons. I can then have an established thought pattern that won't require tracking, it will be more intuitive and mindful right from the get go and that is my hope for you!   Blessings of Health and Happiness, Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com 

Hello Friend! I think this episode touches on many great points that will make sense for you and hopefully encourage you to make some changes in our life. If you struggle with discipline in some areas of your life, whether it's fitness, eating habits, tv, money, sleep, work, "you fill in the blank" then this episode will help you. I break down all the different qualities and habits that a disciplined person has and how freeing they actually can be once implemented. Don't give up on your goals, dreams, and desires. They were placed there for a reason and sometimes we all just need a little reminder and encouragement to keep going and not give up. We must master the mundane, not be ruled by our mood every time, commit to the vision, remove the distractions, and keep our eye on the prize.   You were made for great things! -Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com  

Hey Friend! Welcome back to another episode. This week I am sharing some insights on what it's like to workout when you are a Mom with a bunch of little humans. (my world currently!) I have been well seasoned in this, the last 6 years and make it my aim to still show up to take care of my body despite the imperfection of how it all gets done sometimes.  If you are struggling to make exercise and moving your body a priority as a Mom and really want to then let me encourage you in this episode. It can be really hard some days but you will usually thank yourself later that you did. Let your kids be your BIGGEST reason to take care of you not your excuse not to. You'd be amazed at what your children will learn and value as they watch their Mom make a little time for them. Include them and share with them why you are doing this. I am cheering you on Momma!    Blessings of Health and Happiness, Gabby    Link to the printable homeschool sheets I was talking about in the intro.

Hi friend! In this episode we get right to it! Chatting about how much we as humans evolve and that it is OK to change. So often we fear what others will think of us if we choose to take a different path than what we were originally on. That is no way to live  my friends. You will end up living life on other people's terms than your own. We are constantly being shaped and molded throughout life, so it would only make sense that we change/evolve right? That is a sign of growth, understanding, and humility.  I hope this message speaks to you, whatever season of life you're in. May it help you grow and push past the beliefs you've been allowing yourself to hang on to.    Blessings of Health and Happiness, Gabby    DID YOU KNOW that just drinking tons and tons of water isn't actually hydrating your body? Are you someone who works out regularly or has a busy active lifestyle? We absorb electrolytes through food and drink, and excrete them through sweat, urine, and feces. If one side of this equation becomes skewed (from heavy sweating, diarrhea, etc), an electrolyte imbalance can result. Electrolyte deficiency in particular leads to symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and muscle cramps.  Let me tell you about my FAVORITE electrolyte drink that has been a staple in my diet for over 2 years now, LMNT. It is my go to every day as an active Mom who is breastfeeding, exercising, and just keeping up with life in general. These little on the go packets are packed with sodium, magnesium, and potassium. I want to maximize my hydration when I consume water and this is one easy way I can do so.

Hey friend! Are you 30 years or older?? Do you want to live a strong, healthy, vibrant life? Does staying active and doing all the things you love late in your years sound appealing? If so, then you'll want to tune in to today's episode. I just turned 30 and now need to really make sure I am on top of my game here. I ain't 20 anymore, haha! LESS MUSCLE MEANS GREATER WEAKNESS AND LESS MOBILITY! I'm sure most people don't want that to happen to them and would strive to do the things that would prevent that from happening. Let's focus on health for the long run here, no quick fixes. You want to live that life like I mentioned above? Then it requires your consistent and intentional actions day in and day out.

Hey friend! I am FINALLY getting this out into the world! I cannot wait for you to listen to my latest birth story. I love listening to other's birth stories and all the little details so you better believe I shared as many details as I could remember with you on this episode. It's wild to think I am on the other side of it now and by the time this episode airs, she will be 5 weeks old.  I knew she was coming early, and she did, by 6 days. I can't tell you why or how I knew, but it was just this Mom instinct and gut feeling (which, by the way, is usually spot on haha). It was such an incredible birth and God really answered my prayers of wanting this one to be similar to my 2nd born. I had an incredible support from my husband, as usual, and actually invited my Mom to attend as well! We chose to have another unmedicated hospital birth and I couldn't have asked for better nurses or a midwife to support me in that choice.  It all happened so fast once I finally accepted the fact that I was in labor.

Hey friend! I'm back this week and chatting ALL things garden as I am now prepping and planting my indoor seeds. As I am currently typing this, we got hit with another random winter storm, go figure, we just can't win here in the Midwest can we? haha...Soon enough we will all be out there with our hands in the soil and sweat on our brow.  I got all our indoors seedlings planted just in time for our baby to make her arrival 2 days later. It's like she knew she wasn't allowed to come until I had that done! I am so glad I had that all set to go and now I just get to tend to it. I thought it would be too much but it's really been ok.  In this episode I share why to start growing indoors, what plants are ideal to start inside, what you will want to directly sow outside, supplies you may want to consider having, what soil I used, how you can repurpose things around your home, how to grow potatoes from store bought ones, and encouraging you to just go for it and PLANT my friend. I've come a long way from when I began my own gardening journey and here I am 10 years later still learning from mistakes but also feeling super confident in many of the skills I have acquired.  Let's get ourselves eating more homegrown food, becoming more self sufficient, and getting outdoors more!

March 13,2020...A day I never want to re-live. A sweet soul gone TOO soon, taken by a sudden found diagnosis of aggressive pancreatic cancer.  It's never easy to lose someone in life but it's even harder when it is sudden and so abrupt. Today's episode actually airs on the 3 year anniversary of my best friend of 4.5 years, Sandi, passing from this life into eternal life. I couldn't think of a better way to honor her other than dedicating this day and show to her by sharing all about the impact she had on my life and those all around her.  It's a beautiful and rare thing when you can find a friend 17 years older than you who becomes just like family and wants to spend all the time in the world with you and your family. Living life, sharing dreams, pursuing goals, and working together to change the lives of those around us.  Tune in today if you want to be touched by a life that touched mine. My goal is to live on for her and do the things we would still do together even if it takes me a while to get there. I miss her every day and am reminded of her SO many times bc she was a part of my every day for many years. May you be blessed by this story and may it allow you to feel anything you need to feel about someone you may have lost that was near and dear to you.

Hey friend! Today's episode has been a long time coming and now it's finally here! I wanted to be able to have a conversation with you about my general mindset and plan going into labor and birth as I am now awaiting the arrival of my 4th within the next week or so. I LOVE talking about and hearing about different birth experiences. I share my take on how we (my husband and I) have pursued the goal of a natural birth with all our children within the hospital realm. I share little insights from each of my other 3 births, things that we learned, and resources we've used to help us along the way.  My goal is to just better inform women/mom's about their options and choices out there. So much has been lost in this culture in terms of empowering the Mom to use her voice and stand firm in her instincts when it comes to birth. While I recognize that birth interventions/"protocols" are used and needed in critical times I also recognize that they have been abused and women have NOT been educated on how they impact you and baby long term. I also understand that not every woman cares and that is totally fine too. Do what you want with the information you have and the desired outcome you are seeking. We are all different but all I can ask is for you to have an open mind as I share my knowledge and labor experiences. I can't wait for you to tune in and hear all about it and stay tuned for a full episode on my labor and birth story after this little one is born!! In that episode I will share more on the choices we make for all the newborn care/procedures as well as my own post partum care.  Enjoy, Gabby    - We took a 12 Week Bradley Method Course prior to our first and it was the best things we ever did to prepare ourselves for this experience and allow my husband to coach me through the whole experience.

Hey Friend, This week we are catching up! Lots of life happening over here, but better now than when this baby girl makes her arrival. I share some funny stories and hard moments of Motherhood in this episode. So, if you're into the real deal raw moments of my motherhood journey then this will be the perfect episode for you. I also share a bit about where I am at with my fitness at 37 weeks pregnant, the importance of Community, and more! Thank You SO much for sharing this time and space with me. I am grateful for you!   Blessings of Health and Happiness, Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com

Hey Friends! Today's episode is a great one to tune in to if you'd like to hear just how easy it can be to prep food and your home before your baby makes it's grand entrance.  I wanted to get a head start on much of the food stuff before I slow down even more than I am. Haha. Come the beginning of March I will switch into garden mode and focus on getting our indoor seedlings started.(of course there will be a garden episode on that soon) Mid March is when this baby is due to make her entrance but we all know, babies come when they come! We are in the home stretch here with hopefully a little under 4 weeks to go.  I want to be able to still nourish my family with all our staple foods and make it super easy to still do so while I am recovering and adjusting to having a newborn again. I share all the things I am freezing, making double batches of, and some easy go to snacks for me and the kiddos.  I know this episode will be insightful and helpful for any "soon to be" Mommas that are looking to get their family and home prepared as best as they can before their new arrival.  Be blessed, Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com  

Hey Friend! Have you ever been scared to, make a move...make a change...go a completely new direction...and actually face the hard truth? If that's you or been you then I welcome you to take a seat and listen to my journey through my first network marketing company/MLM that really was a stepping stone in life now that I have the hindsight to see that. I NEVER thought I would leave (does anyone sucked ever think they would? haha) It became an identity but it also became a financial overhead, burnout, and not ideal for our future goals for our family.  I welcome you to listen in to my first time really sharing this in such depth and the sweet story that is near and dear to my heart. My late best friend, Sandi, who I did EVERYTHING with in terms of business and life was the one who took the first big leap and then had the conversation with me to see if I would join her. She cried bc she was scared I wouldn't make the shift with her, but I did bc I trusted her and was having the same struggles she was but wasn't willing to admit them. That was February 2019, fast forward to March 2020 when she passed away from a sudden cancer diagnosis. She left me a gift! I truly believe God prompted her at just the right time to open this door for me to have a NEW and more fulfilling opportunity before she left this world. (insert balling my eyes out) Here I am 4 years later in such a safe and healthy environment that allows me to be ME, dream of a future with my family, and aligns with my values and goals.   May this episode give you a little insight to where I've been and where I am now, my heart behind it all, and to encourage you to take the leap if you've been feeling a nudge. It can be SO scary, trust me, I know. My wish is to see everyone tap into their true and FULL passion and potential but sometimes we are limiting ourselves when we think it's just in this "one place" or can only look 1 way. I believe that things hold different spaces in seasons of our life, different purposes, and are like a stepping stone to get to a more final destination of our calling. Be open to what is being placed in front of you...may my story be a source of hope and connection for you.    Thanks for listening, Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com  

Hi Friend, "Don't limit your challenges, challenge your limits." That hits deep doesn't it? Our natural tendency as humans is to stay in the known, do what feels good, and stay where it's comfortable. There is nothing wrong with wanting that, but it actually can become unhealthy for us if it always becomes the norm and can ruin our chances of living a FULL life. How do you get uncomfortable??  In this episode I talk about our typical mindset, how & why we must shift it, and how to have the courage to take that step into the unknown.  Most people that continue to stay comfortable are unhappy/miserable most of the time, or just complacent about life. I don't want that for you and God doesn't either!! He asks us to MOVE, LIVE, and SERVE this world and to do that we must get out of our comfort zone, fail, and humble ourselves from time to time.  I know this episode will challenge your thinking and prompt you with some really good questions about your life. I challenge you to not be afraid to fail because without failure you will never grow.    Be blessed, Gabby    Join the FB Community: Rooted In Health Facebook Community    Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com           Listen to Related Episodes: 01.// How To Have a Growth Mindset 19.// Navigating Change / How Facing Resistance Can Produce Growth / My Personal Story Of Life Changes and Seasons of Life God Has Had Me In / Using Your Pain For Good 26.// WHAT IS YOUR HARD?/ EVERYONE'S HARD LOOKS DIFFERENT/HOW TO GROW THROUGH THESE MOMENTS OR SEAONS OF LIFE 05.// Why Are You Still Waiting?

Happy Monday!  The last Monday of January 2023, can you believe it?! I hope your New Year has been off to a strong and wonderful start. Today's episode covers the topic of Bone Broth. I have shared many times on my social media me making this delicious and nutritious broth and get so many comments and questions. So many people tend to be intimidated by it, so if that is you then you MUST tune in. It is simpler than you think and I think you'll be quite surprised if you give it a try. I share all the health benefits, the difference between stock, broth, and bone broth, and my simple step by step process to making this for my family.  It doesn't require really much equipment outside of things you may already have in your home. So there really is no excuse to not give it a try! I hope this inspires you to start making this incredible nourishing broth to have on hand in your home.   If you're not into making your own, that's cool. Or maybe you just want to know of a couple brands you could rely on in a pinch. Here are a couple one's I recommend (be sure to be watching for natural flavors, and added sugars in any that you are considering) : - Kettle & Fire   - Bonafide Provisions    If you choose to pressure can your broth here is the canner I use - Presto Pressure Canner    Happy Broth Making, Gabby    If you liked this podcast and found value here today it would mean a lot if you would hit subscribe and if you scroll down on my show you can leave a rating and review which would mean SO much and help more and more people find this podcast.    Email me with topic ideas at gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com   Facebook - Gabriella Flater Rooted In Health Facebook Community  Instagram - @gabby.getrootedinhealth Show Instagram - @getrootedinhealthpodcast Website - Rooted In Health, LLC Email - gabby.flater@getrootedinhealth.com
