Every day is a good day to treat yourself! 😄

😬 When stress hits, our sympathetic nervous system kicks into gear with the fight, flight, or freeze response.

This system triggers the release of stress hormones like epinephrine and cortisol. While these hormones help us handle immediate stress, chronic activation can harm our mental and physical health, leading to:

- Increased heart strain
- Suppressed immune function
- Heightened inflammation
- Factors like age, genetics, life experiences, social support, and coping mechanisms can influence how well we handle stress. 💡

Effective ways to combat stress:

- Ensure quality sleep
- Practice mindfulness to stay present and avoid spiraling thoughts
- Use progressive muscle relaxation to release hidden tension
- Try deep breathing exercises
- Incorporate movement like yoga or recreational sports into your daily routine 💤🧘💪

Taking care of yourself physically and mentally is crucial for overall health. If stress is disrupting your hormones, reach out to our office for support!

😓 Dealing with an acne breakout and not sure where to turn?

Acne can be triggered by various factors:

🧼Hormonal imbalances
🧼Poor gut health
🧼Stress
🧼Unhealthy diet
🧼Inadequate skincare routine

Start by cleansing your face regularly to prevent buildup of dead skin cells and bacteria in your pores. Don't forget to moisturize—dry skin can lead to increased oil production.

Making dietary adjustments can also help combat acne. Cut out gluten, dairy, junk foods, refined carbs, excess sugar, and alcohol. 🍞🙅 These changes can benefit your gut health, which is closely linked to skin health.

Skin issues can often be managed and even resolved with proper diet and lifestyle adjustments. ☎️ Contact us for guidance on getting your acne under control!

Still struggling with hypothyroid symptoms despite normal lab results?

😡Fatigue
😡Weight gain
😡Hair loss
😡Constipation
😡Depression
😡Cold hands and feet

If you've been told there's no further treatment for your symptoms, read on. 👇

Hypothyroidism affects millions, with many suffering despite thyroid hormone therapy. In the U.S., 90% of cases stem from Hashimoto's, an autoimmune disease attacking the thyroid gland. Medications maintain thyroid function but don't address the underlying autoimmune issue. 🤨

Comprehensive testing is crucial to understand your symptoms. Balancing the immune system is key to healing.

Tips to calm your immune system:

👉 Cut out gluten completely—studies link it to Hashimoto's flare-ups.
👉 Try an autoimmune diet—eliminate inflammatory foods like dairy, eggs, and grains.
👉 Heal your gut—leaky gut can worsen inflammation and autoimmune conditions.
👉 Stabilize blood sugar—essential for managing thyroid disorders.

These steps are foundational. For Hashimoto's and complex cases, personalized management may be necessary to prevent future autoimmune triggers.

Curious about Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism's causes? Contact us today! 📞

😰 Struggling with chronic anxiety that affects your daily life?

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), described by the National Institute of Mental Health, involves constant worry and fear—a prevalent issue in today's population.

Various dietary and lifestyle factors can worsen symptoms:

👉 Nutrient deficiencies
👉 Food intolerances (especially gluten)
👉 Caffeine, drugs, and alcohol
👉 Chronic stress
👉 Past trauma (PTSD)
👉 Environmental triggers

Conventional treatments like SSRIs may not suit everyone, sometimes worsening anxiety. 😟 Benzodiazepines, another common treatment, come with numerous side effects like fatigue and memory loss.

🌱 Natural remedies, such as ashwagandha, lavender oil, omega-3s, and kava, can effectively reduce anxiety. 🌿 Addressing underlying neurotransmitter and hormonal imbalances is key to successful treatment.

If chronic anxiety affects you, consider a natural approach tailored to your needs. 💗 Contact us for guidance specific to your situation.

🍆 Eggplants are a versatile and underrated veggie!

They're perfect in any dish and pack serious health benefits. According to USDA, eggplants are low in cholesterol and fat, high in water content, and loaded with nutrients like:

Vitamin C
Vitamin K
Magnesium
Phosphorus
Copper
Dietary fiber
Folic acid
Potassium
Manganese

The fiber aids digestion, lowers heart disease risk, and reduces ghrelin production (the hunger hormone). 😍 Eggplants also boast phytonutrients that may enhance cognitive function and mental health. They're part of the nightshade family, like tomatoes and bell peppers, which some people may be sensitive to, so keep that in mind. ⛔

😋 Start adding eggplants slowly to your diet and share your delicious recipes with us!

👉 Ingredients you'll need:
1 cup raw cashews
7 medjool dates pitted
½ cup dried blueberries (use fresh if you're planning on eating them immediately)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

📋 Instructions:

Pop the cashews in the blender and pulse until crumbly.
Add the dates, dried blueberries and vanilla and pulse until the mixture comes together, and forms a ball.

Once frozen, remove from the tray and store in a ziplock back, or an airtight container.
*These can be stored in the fridge for about a week. If you like making big batches - they store really well in the freezer for a couple of months.

🙌 Time to embrace relaxation in your fitness journey!

Yes, we're excited too! 😉 Taking care of your body means knowing when to slow down. Even the best workout and diet plans can only take you so far without proper relaxation to reduce stress levels.

Here are some ways to unwind and enhance your wellness:

💡Indulge in nourishing baths and body care. They soothe muscles, aid in natural body regeneration, and can be enhanced with Epsom salts or essential oils for added benefits.
💡Try meditation and focus exercises. These activities help calm the mind and lower cortisol levels.
💡Explore creative outlets. Engaging in hobbies that spark creativity nourishes your soul, boosts mood, and enhances cognitive abilities.
💡Prioritize purposeful relaxation to maximize the benefits of your active, healthy lifestyle. 💃

🙋‍♀️ Ever been told carbs are the enemy? Think again!

It's not just pasta and cheeseburgers—carbs include strawberries, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and oats, packed with nutrients! 🍔🍓

Recent research shows eating 3 servings of whole grains daily can slash heart disease risks like waist size and blood pressure. 😮 Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and oats are rich in fiber, B vitamins, and more, aiding in steady blood sugar and preventing diseases like diabetes and obesity.

👉 Balance is key! Fuel your body with what it needs while steering clear of complications.

👉 Want to add healthy grains to your diet? Start with 1/2 cup servings of gluten-free options:

Brown rice
Quinoa
Steel-cut oats
Wild rice
Millet
Tapioca

When you're trying to reduce the number of medications you take, starting on supplements might seem counterintuitive. 🙈

There's also a lot of negative press about supplements being "snake oil" or unnecessary if you're eating a healthy diet. 🐍 While this can be true for some, others have health conditions that could benefit significantly from natural, high-quality supplements.

It all comes down to what’s happening beneath the surface to cause your symptoms.

💊 Here are some reasons why supplements might be necessary alongside a healthy diet and lifestyle:

🍃Supporting natural functions as you age
🍃Managing high external stressors
🍃Dealing with a toxic environment and products
🍃Addressing genetic factors
🍃Compensating for low-quality foods

Most supplements consist of herbs and other natural compounds with strong scientific support, used globally throughout history. It’s important to thoroughly research what’s in your supplements and where they are sourced from, and to work with a qualified practitioner who conducts comprehensive, individualized testing.

📳 Ask our office how supplementation, paired with a customized care program, might be the right path for you!

Health includes more than the food you eat. It's also your mental, emotional and spiritual health.

Emotions are a natural response to our thoughts, feelings, and physical experiences. 🥰

It's not far-fetched to say that what we feel is connected to what's going on in our bodies. When we get sick or experience pain, our bodies are communicating with us. 🤒 By paying attention, our bodies can provide valuable insights into our emotional challenges, rather than just masking symptoms or taking a pill. 💊

💖 Here are some ways to nurture the mind-body connection:

Journal Regularly: Write about your feelings, physical symptoms, nutrition, and thoughts. This can help you pinpoint patterns or identify relationships between seemingly unrelated things. 📖

Listen to Your Symptoms: When you feel a symptom, ask what message your body is trying to convey. If your throat hurts, are you struggling with communication? Each part of our body represents a different message, and ignoring them can eventually lead to more serious illnesses.

Working with a practitioner who understands the interconnectedness of the body allows you to take a holistic approach to health. 🌱 Mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health all play a role in overall wellness and daily function.

Interested in a mind-body approach to health? 🙌 Reach out to our office!

🧬 A study from researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging presents an innovative way to consider age based on our immune system. 🤔

This "immune clock" concept looks at the relationship between inflammation and our body's immune response. ⏰

👉 Between 2009 and 2016, blood samples from over 1,000 people of all ages were tested for cytokine levels, which are biomarkers for immune response.

👉 Researchers identified 50 cytokines as strong predictors of inflammatory age, a crucial part of the immune clock. The chemokine CXCL9, which impacts heart health, was found to be the most significant contributor to immune age.

What can you do with this information to support your immune system as you age?

Making simple changes to your daily routine and diet can naturally and effectively improve immune health, reducing strain on the body. 🙏 Focus on heart-healthy foods and exercise to avoid elevated cytokine levels that accelerate immune aging. Start with these four steps:

Get enough sleep 💤
Move your body each day 🏃‍♂️
Manage stress levels 🧘‍♀️
Maintain proper hygiene 🧼

🧯 Changing up your diet may help manage chronic inflammation!

While inflammation is a normal part of the healing process, constant strain that leads to chronic inflammation can have serious health effects like:

🔥 Heart disease
🔥 Asthma
🔥 Autoimmune disorders

If you suffer from chronic inflammation, you may have been prescribed medication to treat the symptoms rather than uncovering and addressing the root cause. 🔍 Extensive research in natural medicine shows that dietary changes can lower inflammation and address the underlying reasons it persists. What exactly those dietary changes are depends on you, your condition, lifestyle, and other health factors. Always consult with a professional health practitioner before deciding on the best path for you.

Some changes you can make in the meantime to tackle inflammation include:

👉 Cutting gluten
👉 Limiting or cutting dairy
👉 No alcohol
👉 Avoiding junk and processed foods
👉 Focusing on whole, organic, local meats and produce
👉 Trying out fermented foods like kimchi, pickles, or sauerkraut

There’s no cure-all for treating inflammation. 🥵 Take an informed and focused approach to your chronic symptoms by consulting with a practitioner who cares about what is going on beneath the surface. 📱 Contact us to learn more about how we can help. 💪

Let's talk macronutrients! 🥰 These essential nutrients are broken down into three categories: proteins, fats, and carbs. Each person needs a unique balance of these macronutrients to support their health, goals, and overall function.

👉 Enter: macro bowls. These bowls are a fantastic way to ensure you're getting a balanced mix of all the nutrients you need in one meal. Remember, this is just one meal, not your entire day's worth of food! Macro bowls help keep you satisfied longer and optimize bodily processes. 🩸

🥗 You can customize your macro bowl to fit your specific goals, but here are some ideas to get you started:

1/2 cup whole grains (brown rice, quinoa)
1/2 cup greens (kale, spinach, arugula)
1/2 cup beans or legumes (double up if you're vegetarian)
1 cup vegetables of your choice
1 serving of protein (think wild-caught fish, lean meats, or eggs)
1-2 tbsp tahini to drizzle on top

If you're looking to balance your blood sugar, level out hormones, or just need an easy meal for your busy life - this may be your answer. 😘
