You should always consult your healthcare provider before making any lifestyle changes.

I have an active website as an expression of my passion for wellness and with the hope to be able to help as many people as possible. However, this website is not intended as a substitute for medical care.

Disclaimer about affiliate links:
I include these wonderful resources on this page because I found myself continuing to email the information to clients. They are a foundational piece of what has helped others with the issues they face. So, I wanted to have a central database I could refer people to if they are looking for additional information. However, in the spirit of full-disclosure, I want you to know that Amazon provides me with a small percentage of commission if you order these products directly through the links I provide here. You can find the full details about the compensation at this link: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/welcome/compensation/. Please contact Ashley Carter Youngblood at 269-213-5002 or info@lotuslifestylecoaching.com with any questions or concerns about this.
