Farm Fresh Eggs: Small Shells, Big Benefits

Jennifer

The first time I cracked open a farm egg, I could see the difference.
The yolk was deep gold. The shell felt sturdier. The taste was richer.
That one egg reminded me: Food should feel alive.

Why Farm Eggs Matter:

  • 🧬 More nutrients – Higher in Omega-3s, vitamin D, and antioxidants
  • 🐔 Kinder to animals – Pastured hens live healthier, less stressed lives
  • 🌱 Closer to the earth – Supporting local farms = supporting sustainability

Store eggs can do in a pinch, but farm eggs nourish in a different way — not just our bodies, but our values.

Food is a relationship.
And local eggs are one small way to build it back.

What Viome Taught Me About My Gut — and Myself

We’re not just what we eat — we’re what our body does with what we eat.
That’s why I love Viome.

Viome is a test that analyzes your gut microbiome — the tiny ecosystem inside your digestive tract that affects everything from energy to mood to immunity. When I took the test myself, I was surprised. Foods I thought were “healthy” were actually triggering inflammation in my body.

It wasn’t shameful. It was freeing.
Not “what did I do wrong?” but “what do I need to know about my body right now?”

💡 What Viome Does:

  • Analyzes your microbiome and gives personalized food insights
  • Helps reduce inflammation and improve digestion
  • Connects gut health to mood, energy, and mental clarity

Viome became a compass for me — not a rulebook. It helped me quiet the noise and tune into what my body had been trying to say all along.

Want help interpreting your Viome results or deciding if it’s right for you? I’d be honored to walk you through it.
