Your nervous system is begging for these 3 nutrients. Are you consuming them every day?

06/10/2025

Your nervous system depends on protein to build neurotransmitters, fats to build nerve cell membranes, and balanced blood sugar to keep stress hormones in check.

That means we cannot expect our nervous systems to stay resilient without a healthy eating routine.

06/06/2025

Most people don’t know that nervous system dysregulation can be a root cause of inflammation.
Whether you’re always rushed for time….

Stuck in a pattern of worry…

Skipping meals…

Overexercising…

Living on caffeine…

Or feeling unsafe in your surroundings.…

Your nervous system will pay the price.

The initial physiologic response to stress is activation of the sympathetic nervous system (“fight or flight”).

The secondary response is cortisol production.

One role of cortisol is to keep inflammation in check, but when our stress response is repeatedly triggered, it can become dysregulated and allow inflammation to go unchecked.

👉🏽 That means nervous system regulation is an essential step in addressing any condition driven by chronic inflammation.

Slow down.

Rest.

Breathe.

These things signal the body that it is safe to heal.

Stay tuned because I have a series of posts coming up with tips to support your nervous system 🙌🏽

06/03/2025

When your nervous system is stuck in overdrive, it isn’t able to send signals to your internal organs to “rest and digest.”

This is not a diagnosis, and there are no medications to take.

There are, however, simple things you can do to support a healthy nervous system response—through foods, nutrients, rest, and everyday habits.

💥 Blood Sugar Myths & Facts 💥

Healthy blood sugar regulation is essential for energy, mood, brain function, heart health, immunity, and whole-body wellness.

So, which of these myths have you heard (or believed)?

1️⃣ MYTH: I need frequent snacks to keep my blood sugar balanced.

FACT: Grazing exposes your cells to repeated bursts of sugar and insulin, which could potentially contribute to insulin resistance. Feeling the need to snack often can be a sign of blood sugar swings (spikes and dips) rather than healthy blood sugar regulation.

2️⃣ MYTH: I look thin so my blood sugar must be fine.

FACT: The type and distribution of fat in the body matters more than outward appearances. Even people who appear thin can have unhealthy visceral fat (around internal organs) that can contribute to inflammation and insulin resistance.

3️⃣ MYTH: My body is changing because of hormones, not blood sugar.

FACT: While it may be true that your body is changing because of hormones, declining levels of estrogen at menopause can increase the risk for insulin resistance. Insulin, cortisol, thyroid hormone, and estrogen all interact to affect blood sugar balance.

4️⃣ MYTH: I need to improve my cholesterol levels, not my blood sugar.

FACT: When you eat more sugar than your cells can use for energy, the excess is converted into triglycerides (fats), and the liver makes more LDL cholesterol. Unhealthy cholesterol is also a blood sugar issue.

5️⃣ MYTH: Only people with diabetes need to pay attention to blood sugar.

FACT: Early changes in blood sugar regulation are driven by insulin resistance, which can develop years before a diagnosis of diabetes.

Surprised by any of these?

🧦Ever heard of wet sock therapy?

This is an old-school, naturopathic remedy for stimulating circulation, easing congestion, and even improving sleep. I've done this with my kids since they were young and now they ask for it when they're not feeling good.

Here’s how it works and how to do it at home:

1️⃣ Gather the Goods: You’ll need one pair of thin cotton socks, one pair of thick wool socks, a towel, and a bowl of ice cold water.

2️⃣ Chill Cotton Socks: Soak the cotton socks in the cold water.

3️⃣ Warm Your Feet: Soak your feet in a tub of the hottest water you can handle for 5-10 minutes.

4️⃣ Wring the Socks: Squeeze all the water out of the cotton socks until they are just damp. Wringing them out completely is a critical step!

5️⃣ Layer & Sleep: Dry your feet, put on the damp cotton socks, and layer the dry wool socks on top. Then, crawl into bed and let the socks work their magic💫

Wondering how this works?

As your body warms the cold socks, it stimulates circulation, which can relieve congestion and support your immune system. You’ll wake up with dry socks and—hopefully—a refreshed immune response.

Have you tried wet sock therapy?

Let me know your experience in the comments ⬇️

Disclaimer: While this is safe for most people, please check with a medical professional to be sure—especially if you have poor circulation or nerve damage.

3 Supplements to Consider for 🤧Temporary Immune Support

What is “temporary” support?

This means supplements that may reduce the duration or severity of sickness when taken during the first several days of feeling unwell. Here’s what the latest research shows:

1️⃣ Elderberry
Studies show that elderberry probably does not prevent the common cold or flu, but it may shorten the duration or reduce the severity. Elderberry can be taken as a liquid juice concentrate or in capsules. (PMID 33827515)

2️⃣ Vitamin C
There has been a lot of controversy around vitamin C, but a 2023 meta-analysis found that compared to placebo, vitamin C reduced the severity of the common cold by 15%. It may not shorten the duration of mild colds, but it may shorten severe colds. These stats are based on people who took at least 1 gram of vitamin C per day and who were healthy at baseline. (PMID 38082300)

3️⃣ Zinc
A 2024 comprehensive review of 34 studies on zinc in relation to the common cold found all kinds of mixed results but in the end, it concluded that zinc supplements may not prevent colds but may reduce the duration of ongoing colds. Zinc can be taken as pills or lozenges. (PMID 38719213)

Our immune systems are beautifully complex, so we can never expect a single nutrient or herb to be an overnight success.

Still, I like to keep these supplements on hand for a boost of support when I start to feel off.

3 Supplements to Consider for ❄️Seasonal Immune Support

But first to be clear:

“Seasonal support” supplements are meant to strengthen immune function over weeks or months—not to be confused with “temporary support” products, which are best taken when you’re already feeling unwell.

Here they are!

1️⃣ Reishi
Reishi is a medicinal mushroom, traditionally used as an adaptogen to support stress resilience. It is rich in beta-glucans, which modulate immune function over time. Powdered reishi can be mixed into coffee or brewed as tea.

2️⃣ Probiotics
Since 70%-80% of the body’s immune cells reside in the gut, a healthy gut microbiome is essential for supporting immune defenses. Probiotics can be consumed as supplements or in fermented foods.

3️⃣ Vitamin D
Especially during darker months, consuming enough vitamin D is essential for immune function. Studies show that low vitamin D levels increase the risk and severity of infections. Vitamin D can be taken as pills. If you don’t know your vitamin D level, ask to get it checked!
