🥚 Eggs: one of the most nutrient dense foods. Cholesterol plays a significant part of our health. Our brain & hormones need cholesterol.

A study examining cholesterol levels and life expectancy across populations has drawn attention to the complex relationship between cholesterol and longevity. Some observational studies have found that older adults with higher total cholesterol levels had lower overall mortality during follow-up, particularly among the oldest age groups. Researchers suggest that cholesterol levels can be influenced by age, nutritional status, inflammation, and underlying health conditions, which can affect how cholesterol relates to survival. A large global analysis covering 200 countries also documented substantial differences in cholesterol levels across regions, highlighting the importance of studying cholesterol alongside other population health factors.

Cholesterol plays an essential role in building cell membranes, producing hormones, and supporting normal body functions. However, different types of cholesterol have different implications for health. High LDL cholesterol is associated with a greater risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, while HDL cholesterol participates in transporting cholesterol through the bloodstream. Global disease-burden research estimates that elevated LDL cholesterol contributes substantially to cardiovascular illness and premature death worldwide.

👉 Here we are again in Autumn, and as I've said in years past, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Autumn represents the Metal element. It's connected to the Lungs & Large Intestine - both related to releasing. Lungs = grief; large intestine = grief & sadness.

Autumn is the natural cyclical time to "let go", release and detox - coughing helps clear the lungs. What a "coincidence" it's cold & flu season... And just when we're going into all the sweet holidays. Sugar creates phlegm/mucus.

To support these organs, and their processes, this is the season for ingesting warm, moist foods, cooked root vegetables, warm liquids, and adding various kinds of pepper and cinnamon to the diet.

🧡 🧂 Halotherapy is tremendously helpful in supporting & clearing the lungs and it's available at Holsome Health in a 2 person salt cabin! 636-402-4900.

🙏 If you're considering flu/covid shots this season, please do your due diligence and research the mRNA vax that is being used. The traditional one without mRNA is still available. You have to look/ask for it.

PLEASE REFRAIN FROM COMING IN FOR SESSIONS FOR A MINIMUM OF 2 WEEKS AFTER RECEIVING ANY FLU/COVID SHOTS.

👇 Hear what Dr. Mike Yeadon has to say about contagion... Who is he? It's worth looking up.

Today, in a conversation about online vs word of mouth advertising, a client said she's not sure how to describe my work to friends. She said it's more than massage and she definitely feels different/better since we began working together. She mentioned people don't have to have something "wrong" to come in for sessions. That's true. While it's often something like an injury, pain, stress or anxiety that initially brings someone in, it's the realization of the benefits of regular self care, or preventative maintenance, that makes them regular, repeat clients. Clients have been surprised at how good they can feel when doing regular session that aren't injury recovery based. A lot of clients don't even request massage. It's the intuitive body & energy work with craniosacral therapy, TCM acupressure, Reiki, far infrared Biomat, healing frequencies & aromatherapy.

Allowing yourself to be in a state of receiving and not trying to label & figure everything out helps you trust the process that permits your nervous system to rest & reset - and your mind & body heal.

I love customizing sessions. How may I help YOU?

The first ten days of Pluto Direct in Aquarius bring a different energy to the rest of October. After months of retrograde, the planet associated with transformation and rebirth is moving forward through the sign of possibility, progress, and the unexpected. In astrology, this is a powerful time to reconsider the future you once thought was beyond your reach. Pluto changes our understanding of what is possible by changing the circumstances and beliefs that once made certain dreams seem unattainable.

Think about how many things in your life once seemed impossible until the day they happened. People you could never have imagined meeting became important to you. Places you had never considered became part of your story. Experiences you once thought belonged to other people became memories you now carry. Your life has already surprised you in ways you could never have predicted, and there is no reason to believe it has exhausted its capacity to do so.

The next ten days are an opportunity to remember how much can happen beyond the boundaries of what you currently know. The future is full of people who have yet to meet you, opportunities that have yet to exist, and experiences that will give you entirely new reasons to be grateful you kept going. Your happiest memories are not all behind you. Some of the days you will eventually wish you could live twice are still waiting to happen. And the beautiful thing is that you have absolutely no idea how close you might be to one of them.

Creatine isn't just for work outs! Who knew!?
I recently began taking it for cognitive health because perimenopause in your 50s isn't exactly fun. 😵‍💫😄
