**Full Sturgeon Moon: Embrace Transformation**

On August 1st, the Full Sturgeon Moon illuminates the night sky, marking a time of transformation and growth. Embrace this celestial event as an opportunity to set new intentions and embrace positive changes in your life. Life’s journey takes us through many changes, just like this majestic fish. Let’s embrace every step with grace and resilience, growing into our best selves.

Speaking of embracing change, we’ve got a lot of changes happening in our house! My boys will be heading to Middle School and High school in a few weeks! We’ve been so busy this summer but have spent a lot of time trying to just enjoy the moment and embrace the change. I know I’ve mentioned before, but a reminder that August is the best time to boost your immune system. Most likely, your body is in the best shape from being active all summer and eating all of the best and freshest foods.

Keep this going with my Back to School Package from Remedies On Point. All your favorite tinctures and topicals to keep you healthy all year. This package is on sale for $140 until September 30th.

More with Transformation and Growth, I am excited to announce that I passed my course “Functional Medicine for Women” with Dr. Aviva Romm. If your not interested in acupuncture but want to just focus on lifestyle changes through diet, exercise, herbs and supplements, book an appointment with me under the Lifestyle Health and Wellness option. These appointments can be via telemedicine or in person and last about an hour each. More information coming in the next newsletter and on Instagram!

**Jackie’s Exciting Journey**

Tying together the idea of transformation, growth, and embracing change . . . .

We are thrilled to share that Jackie, a valued member of our community, is expecting her first baby in late September. Let’s celebrate this beautiful journey with her and remind ourselves that change, though sometimes scary, can lead to wonderful new experiences. Jackie and I are still discussing all the details of her maternity leave and should have more information in our next newsletter which will be August 30th.

And finally, 3 ways for you and your family to stay healthy with school starting:

1. Acupuncture- whether we are boosting immune system or dealing with the stress of change, acupuncture can help you and your family stay On Point! Check out the picture above for the easiest and best immunity boosting point you can do on yourself or on your friends or family with just your finger or my favorite moxa roller! Stomach 36, or Zu San Li, is the health and wellness point. Chances are if you’ve ever had acupuncture, you’ve had this point!

2. My herbal remedies! The back to school package has everything you need to stay healthy all year long.

3. Your food is your first and best medicine and our gut is our second brain. Everything is in full harvest now so think about eating seasonally and locally to nourish that stomach energy. Sometimes we need a little extra help with supplements. Ask me about the best probiotics my family has been taking to help with increasing gut bacteria

You know I can’t resist adding in pictures of seasonal foods! We were recently out to dinner and ordered a Tomato Peach Caprese. Soooooo good! When my dad brought us some Palisade Peaches and tomatoes from his garden we had to recreate it! Just add chopped fresh mozzarella, basil (from my garden) olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.

YES!!! THE NEXT NEWSLETTER IS AUGUST 30th which means this month is a BLUE MOON!! Stay connected with us on social media! Follow @bodiesonpointacu and @remediesonpoint for valuable tips, inspiring stories, and updates on our services.
