In partnership with
Our 2026 theme…
I’m really excited to share today’s feature on functional nutrition. Danielle of The Cognizant Group has become a friend over the past year, and I deeply admire her care for people—she’s incredibly thoughtful and crazy smart.
One of the things I love most about the wellness space is the community itself: people who are caring, incredibly smart, and shaped by real stories of struggle and healing. That depth is exactly why I started Woo—to share voices like Danielle’s and to keep learning along the way.
I hope you enjoy this feature and feel encouraged to find a community to grow alongside.
I am convinced that while the Houston weather and general aesthetic is probably not anyone’s first choice, the people here are tough to beat. Welcoming, kind, smart, and thoughtful. A great place to grow and connect and I don’t think there’s much better than that. Have a great week 😄
*Also, don’t forget to take note of the events at the bottom. There are some really cool things going on this week and weekend!
What's your main health focus this year?
Functional Nutrition with The Cognizant Group
Functional nutrition invites us to look beyond quick fixes and instead consider how food, mental health, family systems, and daily rhythms all work together over time. Danielle, co-founder of The Cognizant Group, embodies this approach with rare clarity, compassion, and wisdom—bringing both clinical expertise and lived experience into every interaction. She is the kind of practitioner who listens first, teaches gently, and meets people exactly where they are, which is why starting the year with her work feels like the right place to begin.
Reset Your Energy and Feel Lighter With a January Liver Reset
January is the perfect time to reset, rebalance, and support your body after the indulgence of the holidays. If you’re doing Dry January or simply craving a fresh start, focusing on liver health can make a powerful difference—and it’s one of the most overlooked wellness rituals.
That’s why I’ve made Pique’s Liver Detox Protocol part of my January reset. Inspired by over 3,000 years of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this gentle daily ritual supports your body’s natural detoxification processes without harsh cleanses or deprivation.
The protocol includes two simple moments a day: Electric Turmeric in the morning and La Ginger in the evening. In the morning, Electric Turmeric feels warming, grounding, and nourishing—like a calm reset before the day begins. At night, La Ginger is bold and soothing, supporting digestion and overnight renewal.
Within weeks, I noticed steadier energy, less bloating, clearer skin, and an overall lighter feeling. It didn’t feel like a detox—it felt like alignment. Two small rituals, big results.
