STRESS // boy do we all have it nowadays.

A recent randomized controlled trial showed that magnesium and vitamin B6 supplementation helped to lower anxiety and depression scores due to stress after a month of intake. PMID: 33864354

REDUCING FOOD BASED TOXIN LOAD // The thing is, we can't really avoid toxins - exposure will always be there. Why you should care? Toxins create stress on the body because they are challenging for the body to excrete.⠀
⠀
What we do have control over is knowing WHERE and WHEN toxic exposure is higher and make informed choices to lower it.... whenever possible⠀
⠀
Here is an example...⠀
⠀
I learned back in naturopathic med school - that fats accumulate the most toxins (in our bodies and in animal based food products). What has alot of fat in a typical diet? Dairy, especially butter. [Swipe to 2nd pic to see comparison of which dairy products contain the most toxins]⠀
⠀
So even on a student budget, I started making the conscious effort to use grass fed, organic butter instead of conventional butter, whenever possible. If it was the one thing that I would spend more money on - it was this. Due to the potential of highest concentration of toxins in this one food. The same would go for (clarified butter)⠀
⠀
Ice cream is also up there on the list, but we don't tend to consume ice cream on a regular basis so exposure is less ⠀
⠀
If you are someone avoiding dairy, other ways to reduce toxic load also involves avoiding wheat (gluten), trans fats, artificial ingredients and refined sugar foods.⠀
⠀

Could you use a little more ZEN in your life?⁠⁠
What about ENERGY?⁠⁠
Or TENSION RELIEF?⁠⁠⁠
Did you know that I can create customized herbal tinctures for you?⁠⁠
Beyond women’s cycle and hormone balance, my specialties are formulas for stress, moods, energy, and immunity.⁠⁠
The beauty of these herbal elixirs is that you don’t just have to choose one theme to focus on. I can customize and blend tinctures to take care of all your needs. And, they can change as you change.⁠⁠⁠
Right now (with the state of current world affairs), some of the most popular formulas are:⁠⁠
🌿 Zen: calm your nervous system and reduce anxiety.⁠⁠
🌿 Uplift: raise a depressed, sad, or irritable mood.⁠⁠
🌿 Sleep: reduce cortisol, release worries, and drop into a deeper sleep state.⁠⁠
🌿 Relief: release pain specific to the upper body (neck/shoulders/arms), lower body (hips/low back/legs) or pelvis area (endometriosis/cysts/periods).⁠⁠
🌿 Energy: tonics and adaptogens that raise energy and help your resiliency during stressful times.⁠⁠
These tinctures can then be sent straight to your home!⁠
How to schedule:⁠⁠
