And last but not least is your thyroid labs! You may be wondering why you are so tired and this can be another big reason why!

You do want to get your Thyroid Stimulating Hormone or TSH tested if you are feeling off. The optimal level is 0.5-2 mIU/L.

Now this is a bit confusing because when the number goes high it actually means your thyroid is not functioning as quickly as it should be and when it drops low is when it is too hyper!

So when the number is above 2, that means you have hypothyroidism, undereating and overexercising, radiation or thyroid removal, infections, inflammation, stress, blood sugar issues, nutrient deficiencies and mold. But if the number is below 0.5, then you have hyperthyroidism, inflammation, stress, blood sugar issues, infections, inflammation, high iodine intake, heavy metals and pituitary issues.

Again I have seen where some of my patients have felt perfectly normal at 0.3 mIU/L and when it went into the optimal they only felt worse so always I love seeing the bloodwork over the years to see what is optimal for you and how you are feeling!

But what can you do for your TSH? Avoid too low carb diets, eat more zinc/protein/selenium in the diet, remove gluten, lower stress, manage exercise levels, avoid alcohol, and use supplements like a really good multivitamin for nutrients and liver support.

This way you can make sure your energy is the best it can be!

I really don’t want any woman to have to deal with extra fatigue related to iron deficiency anemia! (Women are tired enough with everything they have to deal with these days.)

So when you do get your Iron panel tested, please get your ferritin tested as well.

Ferritin is how much iron your body has stored up (the simple version). The optimal level is 25-80 ug/L (but also others have found 50-80 ug/L to be where most women feel best).

When it is too high then that means you have iron overload from eating/supplementing too much, inflammation, liver dysfunction, B12/folate deficiency, infections, mold and blood transfusion. When it is low it is due to iron deficiency anemia, infection, not eating enough iron foods and blood loss.

What can you do to help your iron stores? If you have too much iron you can decrease it by doing an anti-inflammatory diet, drinking tea, avoid cast iron pans, avoid iron in vitamins and castor oil over the liver. But to increase your iron please use cast iron pans, eat more iron foods, NAC/ALA, and take Vitamins C/D/B complex along with iron supplements.

No one needs to feel more tired in this busy world we live in so take care of your ferritin!

I love to look at people’s bloodwork because it can give me such a good little peek into their body along with everything that they have told me they are experiencing.

Now you may have gone in and heard all your bloodwork was “normal” but you are still feeling a bit off. Now it could be something that just isn’t optimal in your labs. And that’s where I like to help you out!

So to start off, I want to talk about your white blood cell count or WBC for short on your test results.

An optimal WBC is 5-7.5 x 10³ /mm³ . When it is high it can mean an infection from a bacteria or virus or parasite, stress, inflammation, cancer and late in pregnancy. When it is low it can e a chronic infection from a virus or bacteria or parasite, vitamin B12 or B6 or folate deficiency, allergies, autoimmune conditions and cancer.

Now there can be individual variation as I have seen perfectly healthy patients with levels both higher and lower but after knowing them for 20 years that is normal for them so trends do mean something too which is why I love having regular bloodwork done!

So how can you help out your WBC if you are not optimal? You can start with a health promoting diet like the Mediterranean diet, moving your body, adequate sleep, getting outside in the sun, stress management, a B complex, vitamin D, Quercetin and/or many other lifestyle and supplements do help out your WBC levels when you get down to the root of what is going on in you!

Stay tuned for more this week…

Here is a little winter boosting acupressure session for you!

Use these points to boost your energy, keep your immune system strong and open up the airways.

Don’t forget to do both sides and you can do these points as much as you need in the day (just don’t do the points on your hand or inner leg if you are pregnant).

Let me know if you have any questions!

It is still deep winter and in Traditional Asian Medicine that means that you need to keep your body warm because it is still cold outside.

Let’s do a Qi gong move that warms up the joints and gets you ready to go do whatever you need to do today (or if you need a break from work).

Do this as much as you want but just make sure you stay even between sides (which I wasn’t in the video, oops).

Tip #3 for the Holidays

Just move for even 5 minutes a day.

I know that with all the holiday travel and or parties or maybe work is trying to take up all of your day and you feel like there is no time to exercise, I say move for at least 5 minutes.

I find even 5 minutes will improve my mood, give me more energy and get my blood flowing again!

So when time is crunched just get up march in place, dance to your favourite song, run around the block or whatever you choose it will go a long way for helping you feel good through the holidays and even into 2026!

Tip #2 for the holidays!

My top tip is always to breathe but my second tip is to drink water!

I know that people forget to drink water because the weather gets colder and the thirst cue (aka hot weather) is gone. But it is so important to continue your hydration.

It helps all of your cells function better so you stay healthier, your immune system stays strong, you feel full so you don’t reach for that cookie or holiday treat, and your skin will be happier in the dry-cold weather.

So grab a glass of water, sparkly water (to feel festive) or some herbal tea because these all count as water! Your body is going to really love you 🥰

So cheers to you with my holiday cup!

12/03/2025

My top tip for this time of year would be to take deep breaths to regulate your nervous system.

If anything, I am saying this tip most often in my office all year long but it comes up even more now during holiday times.

I like to say that you always have your lungs with you and you can’t leave them behind! So when you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, sad, depressed or anything else just take a minute to breathe.

You can do equal count of inhale for 4, hold for 4 and breathe out for 8. Repeat as many times as you need.

Let me know how it works for you ❤️
