Meet My Family!

Marriage, Friendships, and Community

I just had some family pictures taken recently for the blog and I wanted to share them with YOU! And, I wanted you to get to know me and my family a little more! I realized you may not know my husband and our poodle, Greta. 

Meet Me: Dr. Meghan

I love the Lord and am a wife first and foremost. I am also a chiropractor and a food and wellness blogger here on Just Enjoy Food. My belief that our bodies were created to heal and heal naturally shapes many of the decisions I make in my day. I live with clear understanding of how our bodies heal at a cellular level. What we eat and our lifestyle choices from our personal care products, cleaning products and water/ air are very important to the function of our bodies. We choose to build a healing body or sick body on a daily basis. I’ve had to heal my own body from chronic fatigue and digestive issues and have learned so much in that process. I am constantly researching and learning. My brain loves to seek truth and read up on the most recent health information. My hope is that I can share that information with you!

My Husband: Phil

This is my husband. We have been married since 2011. Phil works in the tech world. He is also the business side of Just Enjoy Food because I am too busy thinking about the next recipe to share with you. Oh, and researching the latest health information. Phil is my greatest supporter in every way possible: through my healing journey, this blog, always learning with me, and following a grain-free and refined sugar free diet with me. You don’t see a lot of Phil on the blog but he is completely here in every post and recipe. He also loves being the taste tester!

The Poodle: Greta

Greta is our standard poodle. She sits in the kitchen as I cook and lays on the couch with me as I type my posts and do my research. She’s also a grain-free and loves beef broth, avocado and apples. (Which you can see in the photo). She keeps us company and makes us laugh at her antics. Her nickname is Crazy Poodle.

How about a couple more?

Well, I have to start somewhere. Celebrating the l Well, I have to start somewhere. Celebrating the little victories (that are actually really big) and trusting God in the process!!
Do your attempts to get healthy borders on obsessi Do your attempts to get healthy borders on obsession or orthorexia? Somehow you are now stressed about EVERYTHING being a toxin and brain is swirling with that all day, every day?. 

Does that sound like you? Or maybe just me 🤷🏻‍♀️ (please tell me I'm not the only one!)

I just don't think that's the Lord's plan for our lives and thought lives. I think there is another way to do health differently than our country and yet not become fearful and all-consumed with it all. We can be aware, make wise decisions, and let the rest be in the Lord's hands.

Most of you know I've taken 7 months off of posting regular content on my Instagram page. I only intended to stop posting for 2-4 weeks. But I realized I was stuck in this mental loop of always thinking about my health and my symptoms and then I was in a business where I only posted about health. That needed to stop. And when I slowed that loop I realized hey, I don't even want to post, so I didn't. 

Are you living in that balance now? Or teetering in the imbalance? If you are feeling imbalanced, the first thing is to NOT beat yourself up about it. If you have had chronic symptoms, I think it is our body's protective mechanism to put us in this loop. But the lie is that we aren't safe with symptoms... but we are safe if things medically check out fine. 

To get out of that mind loop, I would encourage you to take these thoughts captive. When they come in, give them to the Lord, and choose to think about something true and lovely and beautiful. Do this as often as you need which will probably be numerous times per day! 

It sounds easy but it isn't. Simple, yes. Easy, no. Put your faith in Christ and trust that he can renew your mind back to a healthy balance of holistic health. And if you suffer from symptoms... I do believe this is foundational for symptom resolution too.
I am totally a fair weather Minnesotan. I wish I w I am totally a fair weather Minnesotan. I wish I wasn’t, but I have been my whole life. 

So when the sun peaked through the days of dreary cloud cover I bundled up and bolted outside for a walk. It was 35 degrees and felt so nice. 

The 1 mile walk and the sun on my face was what I needed. I miss my nice weather walks. Only 4.5 more months of the cold here 🤣

Ps. Yes, I know that there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes. But really, I get cold easily and don’t like it. So it’s bad weather to me 🤷🏻‍♀️.
I didn’t realize that Beautycounter shutting dow I didn’t realize that Beautycounter shutting down was going to be the catalyst for me stepping back from social media.

It was. And it was one of the best things I’ve done in a long time. 

Why? I didn’t realize I was addicted to it. To checking. To learning. To creating content. It all. The business part and the learning about health. (Ouch that hurts a bit admitting it). 

It was all tied into nervous system dysfunction for me. Just feeding the circle of vigilance. And that wasn’t good for me body, mind, spirit. 

And it was SO hard to step away from this account. It took me about 6 weeks to stop picking up my phone to take a B roll video. Or to think “hey, I want to share with IG”. 

I really do miss you all… that’s what I miss the most. Interacting with you all! 

But my brain needed the time away. And honestly I’m still away. I just have felt like sharing a few things lately because of the November holiday sales. 

You know what I feared if I stepped away? I was scared I’d miss something shared about health that was what I needed. That I would miss some kind of magic bullet or clinical pearl and I wouldn’t heal without it. 

Guess what? That wasn’t true. 

I actually could think and focus on my health in a different way. I could surrender to God in a different way. I wasn’t cluttered with all sorts of thoughts on here. I’ve made some really good decisions about my health and healing with deep confidence. 

And I didn’t peace out of IG fully. I check mostly non-health related content on a private account. (Hello politics, I need some IG fill for that 😂). 

But I did take ALL of August off of IG and broke my dependence and need for it. It was SO good. I thought I’d kiss out so much. I didn’t miss anything. I found all the news and learning I needed from podcasts. And I bought less because I have no idea what’s trendy 🤷🏻‍♀️

I still like social media and Instagram. But I do think many of us need much better boundaries. It sucks you in… it’s supposed to! 

I share because I want to invite you to do something similar if you feel the pull in your spirit. 

Step back, you’re not going to miss anything. 
And think of what you may gain?!?
Robert F Kennedy Jr. was just named Secretary of H Robert F Kennedy Jr. was just named Secretary of Health and Human Services. And I am so excited. 

It's been a full week watching Trump make his cabinet selections but this one felt surreal. 

The corrupt natural of the medical system and Big Farma has been on my radar for almost 2 decades. And it has seemed to get worse vs better (ie covid jab mandates). 

Now we see this cabinet selection for this big position be a man who has fought for decades for children's health, for real meaningful healthcare reform, and spoke endlessly about jab side effects... it just takes my breath away. 

WHAT?? Is this real? 

I have so many thoughts. So many memories flood my mind about talking with my patients when I was a chiropractor about our medical system. The need to educate yourself about holistic and alternative health and to make better decisions than the standard american way of health. And of course, the endless conversations about the risks of jabs to new moms and dads so they can make the best decision for their kids. 

It used to feel like there were so few voices speaking out. And has now grown to a very large and loud group. 
I'd love to see the data on how many people voted for Trump because of the MAHA movement. What kind of needle moving did the partnership with RFKJ bring? I think it was quite a lot! 

Coming soon could be real change. And I'm not sure how much he's actually able to do. How deep does the corruption go? I don't know. 

But I do know that for now I am going to have hope and celebrate because this is a BIG win for medical freedom and the health of our nation. 

MAHA friends!! For ourselves, our families, and our country!

I wanted to give you a link to shop the Beautycoun I wanted to give you a link to shop the Beautycounter in-between sale. I will give you the link first and explain the sale and my thoughts below.

Here is the link to shop with me: https://www.beautycounter.com/MEGHANBIRT​  and it is also in my bio. 

Beautycounter is not open, but has a month long sale. while they wait to reopen. My link is different and all products are there but many could sell out.

When is the Sale: November 1-December 2

How do you shop: You need my link above. It is good for 72 hours and if you shop again, you need to choose my link again. You can't look me up and you're not attributed to me like you were when I was a brand advocate. 

Also, I wanted to share a few thoughts, I am participating in this Beautycounter in-between sale to give you opportunity to purchase your favorite Beautycounter products. I don't know what the future of Beautycounter looks like yet and haven't decided if I will pursue anything in the future.

I still really love my Crunchi products, and will be sharing Crunchi also. But I am choosing to give you the opportunity to choose both companies. Some of you want to shop Beautycounter and some people want to move on and not support it anymore, and for right now I'm here for you with both. 

Thank you for choosing me and my links, it makes such a big difference and I appreciate it.
