I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the financial stress so many people are carrying right now. The cost of just about everything has gone up, and I know that weighs heavily on people in very real ways.

As a small business owner, I feel that pressure too. I’ve had to make some difficult decisions in order to keep my practice sustainable, and I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how to do that without losing sight of the people and the community that made Warrior Wellness possible in the first place.

More than anything, I keep coming back to this idea: community supporting community.

Sometimes support looks like paying for a service. Sometimes it looks like sharing a skill, growing food, baking bread, fixing something, referring a friend, offering a helping hand, or simply showing up for one another in whatever way we can.

It’s easy to get lost in the larger economic picture and everything happening in the world, but there is still so much power in what happens locally and between people.

We may not be able to control the bigger picture, but we can keep taking care of each other.

That is the kind of community I want Warrior Wellness to continue being a part of — one built on connection, flexibility, gratitude, and people supporting people.

Community supporting community. That’s where it’s at. ❤️

🚨PSA AGAIN🚨 this one’s about the use of AI in medical settings.

Our blood can tell us a lot about how our bodies are functioning and what they are doing to maintain homeostasis.

Blood is made up of four main components: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Plasma is the liquid portion and is mostly water, while red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells help fight infection, and platelets help our blood clot.

One common measurement we can look at is hematocrit, which tells us what percentage of our blood volume is made up of red blood cells. Normal ranges vary, but are generally around 36–46% for women and 41–53% for men.

A hematocrit that is too high or too low can give us clues about what may be happening in the body. Hydration status, blood loss, anemia, kidney function, chronic low oxygen levels, smoking, altitude, and certain medical conditions can all influence hematocrit.

Even something as simple as dehydration can change the number. When we lose water, plasma volume decreases and our blood becomes more concentrated, causing hematocrit to appear higher—even though we haven’t necessarily made more red blood cells.

No single lab value tells the whole story, but bloodwork gives us valuable information about how the body is responding, adapting, and working to maintain balance.

I’m doing an educational series! I refuse to edit the videos so I apologize if it’s not super pretty. Let me know what you think! I’m open to suggestions. These are fun and I’ll keep doing them if people like them.
Hydration is about having enough fluid in your body to maintain homeostasis and help your body do its job. Water helps regulate body temperature, move nutrients through the blood, lubricate muscles and joints, support blood volume and blood pressure, protect brain function, and help remove waste through urine. What “hydrated” means looks different for everyone because our bodies are roughly 50–70% water, depending on age, s*x, muscle mass, and body fat. Your hydration needs also have to work with your real life, including your job, activity level, access to bathroom breaks, how much you sweat, and the environment you are in.

TL;DR: Your body is always working to keep your internal temperature steady, but extreme heat and humidity make that job harder. The goal is to support your body before it gets overwhelmed.

Your body cools itself through radiation, conduction, convection, and evaporation. In simple terms, it releases heat into the air, transfers heat to cooler surfaces, moves heat away through airflow, and uses sweat to cool the skin as it evaporates. When it is brutally hot and humid outside, you can help by staying in the shade or air conditioning, using cool towels or ice packs, wearing breathable clothing, using a fan when the air is not dangerously hot, hydrating regularly, replacing electrolytes when sweating heavily, and taking breaks before you feel overheated.

This video popped up in my phone memories the other day, and I find it so interesting that I still feel so strongly about it.

Like I said in my previous post, this trip was the catalyst for changing my life.

TL;DR:
Sometimes when things don’t work out—whether it’s a trip, a job, or a plan—it isn’t a failure; it simply wasn’t meant to be. I learned this firsthand when an unexpected gut feeling pushed me to join my mentor on a month-long cardiology trip to Africa in 2022, something I had always thought I’d never do. That experience changed the entire direction of my life, ultimately leading me to start my business and become a parent. When life doesn’t go the way you hoped, step back and trust that it might be making room for what is meant for you. .
