💧 Did you know that even mild dehydration can affect your brain?

A 2019 review published in Nutrients found that just a 1–2% loss in body water can lead to impaired memory, difficulty concentrating, increased fatigue, and mood changes—even in healthy adults.
🧠💤

✨ Hydration isn’t just about thirst—it’s about mental clarity, energy, and feeling your best. Aim for steady water intake throughout the day, especially if you’re active, under stress, or prone to brain fog.

🌿 Supplement Spotlight: N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) 🌿

✨ NAC is a powerful antioxidant and amino acid that’s gaining attention for:

💎 PCOS Support:

NAC can help improve ovulation, hormone balance, and even fertility outcomes.

It has been shown to lower testosterone and regulate cycles in women with PCOS.
(Oner et al 2011)

💎 Insulin Resistance:

NAC improves insulin sensitivity and lowers blood sugar by reducing oxidative stress.

Studies suggest it may work synergistically with lifestyle interventions.
(Fulghesu AM et al.2002)

💎 Inflammation:

Chronic inflammation underlies many PCOS symptoms. NAC reduces inflammatory markers like CRP.
( Samimi M et al.2016)

💎 Liver Health:

NAC supports glutathione production, the body’s master antioxidant, protecting the liver against toxins and oxidative damage.

It’s even used in hospitals for liver detox support!
(Kelly GS, et al 1998)

🌟 Takeaway:
NAC is a multitasker for oxidative stress, hormone balance, insulin sensitivity, and liver support. Always chat with your healthcare provider before adding new supplements!

With fall 🍁 in full swing and winter right around the corner (🥶sorry!) a friendly reminder to get your vitamin D tested!
Vitamin D deficiency is extremely common in Canada and most people need more than the daily recommended dose for optimal levels 😊.
Not only is vitamin D needed for healthy immune system function it also plays important roles in fertility, mood, energy and hormonal health 💥!
Remember to never take high dose vitamin D without testing as it can be dangerous.

Today we're shining the ✨ spotlight ✨ on berberine and how it can be used to support some of our PCOS patients!
Berberine is a plant-based 🌱 medicine that has been found to positively impact some of the root drivers of PCOS symptoms. 
In research, berberine has been found to support insulin 🍭 sensitivity, reduce androgens, and has anti-inflammatory 🔥 action within the body. Depending on what your PCOS drivers are, berberine may be an option for you because of these effects but it's important to note it's not for everyone. Berberine does interact ❌with many medications and it can cause gastrointestinal 💩 side effects in some!
Dr. Kelly wrote an article on berberine and PCOS if you want to learn more, link in bio ⬆️ !
