When dopamine signaling is low or dysregulated, kids may experience challenges with focus, impulsivity, low motivation, or emotional regulation.

🤔 The good news? There are many gentle, lifestyle-based ways to naturally support healthy dopamine function.

✅ Prioritize Sleep
Dopamine receptors reset overnight.

Poor sleep can lead to:
* Reduced dopamine sensitivity
* Irritability
* More attention challenges
* Emotional dysregulation

Support healthy sleep with:
* Consistent bedtime
* Dark room
* No screens 1 hour before bed

✅ Mindfulness, Breathing & Connection
Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which can interfere with dopamine pathways.

Helpful supports:
* Deep breathing
* Kids yoga
* Nature walks
* Snuggling / co-regulation with a parent

Connection is regulation.

✅ Reduce Factors That Lower Dopamine
* Excessive screen time
* Artificial dyes (e.g., Red 40)
* High-sugar snacks
* Chronic stress or overstimulation
* Irregular sleep patterns

Supporting dopamine naturally is about building strong foundations, nutrition, sleep, movement, connection, and nervous system regulation.

If your child struggles with attention, focus, or emotional regulation, a comprehensive and individualized approach is always best.

To discuss guidance tailored to your child’s brain health, book a discovery call with Dr. Bri Takesh*ta, ND. 🌙

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, a chemical messenger in the brain that helps nerve cells communicate.

It plays a key role in:
🌟 Attention & focus�🌟 Motivation�🌟 Reward & learning�🌟 Mood regulation�🌟 Movement & coordination

When dopamine signaling is low or dysregulated, kids may experience challenges with focus, impulsivity, low motivation, or emotional regulation.

The good news? There are many gentle, lifestyle-based ways to naturally support healthy dopamine function. ✅

1. Prioritize Protein-Rich Foods
Dopamine is made from tyrosine, an amino acid found in protein.

Include:
* Eggs
* Chicken, turkey
* Fish
* Beef
* Greek yogurt
* Lentils & beans
* Tofu / tempeh
* Pumpkin or sunflower seeds

Balanced protein at breakfast can be especially helpful for focus during the school day.

2. Foods Naturally Higher in Tyrosine
These foods contain higher levels of dopamine-building nutrients:

* Bananas
* Avocado
* Almonds
* Sesame seeds
* Cheese
* Oats

Pairing protein + healthy fats helps stabilize blood sugar and support steady attention.

3. Morning Sunlight Exposure
Just 5–15 minutes of morning light (ideally within the first hour of waking) can:

* Increase dopamine activity
* Improve mood regulation
* Stabilize circadian rhythm

Morning outdoor time before school can make a noticeable difference.

As allergy season approaches in the BC, many people begin to notice the familiar return of sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion, and sinus pressure. 🤧

🌸 If you tend to struggle each spring, one of the most effective strategies is to support and prime your immune system before peak pollen hits. Seasonal allergies are driven by an exaggerated immune response, so preparing early can help reduce symptom intensity.

Here are a few evidence-informed, natural supports to consider:

🌟 Quercetin
A plant flavonoid that acts as a natural mast cell stabilizer. It may help reduce histamine release and calm inflammatory responses.

🌟 Bromelain
An enzyme derived from pineapple that can support sinus drainage and enhance quercetin absorption.

🌟 Vitamin C
A gentle natural antihistamine and antioxidant that supports immune balance and reduces oxidative stress.

🌟 Probiotics
Gut health plays a significant role in immune regulation. Supporting the microbiome can help modulate allergic responses over time.

Additional supportive strategies:

✅ Begin supplementation 4-6 weeks before peak season

✅ Support liver detoxification pathways

✅ Reduce inflammatory dietary triggers

✅ Keep indoor air quality optimized

Allergy care is not one-size-fits-all. Dosing, timing, and combinations matter, especially for children or individuals with complex health concerns.

If spring tends to be a challenging season for you, now is a great time to start preparing.

To discuss your individualized support going into allergy season, book a discovery call with Dr. Bri Takesh*ta, ND. 🌙

💉 Neuromodulators like “botox” work by temporarily blocking communication between nerves and muscles.

It doesn’t block muscle contractility instantly, it gradually reduces activity, and your body naturally regenerates those nerve signals over time. That’s why results build, peak, and then slowly fade.

🌟 Consistency helps train muscles to contract less forcefully over time, often leading to longer-lasting results with maintenance.

💛 When you struggle to get pregnant and are surrounded by others who seem to conceive easily, it can be hard not to wonder, "Why not me?"

And then when no one can tell you why you're struggling, it's common to scan for answers to help make sense of what's going on with your body. 💭

Of course, these "answers" tend to follow a pattern of directing blame toward yourself or something you are doing wrong, rather than attributing it to simply bad luck.

Questions like “maybe my anxiety or stress is getting in the way?” or “maybe it’s because I’m not eating healthy enough or sleeping enough?”

Finding an explanation can reduce the feelings of helplessness and lack of control but it may leave you with other heavy feelings instead, such as guilt, shame, or anger at oneself.

🌟 Please know that you did NOT do anything to cause your infertility. “Just relaxing” or doing more mindfulness can’t get a person pregnant just as eating a perfectly “clean” diet won’t either. If you are carrying guilt or self-blame surrounding your fertility struggles, engaging with these thoughts and feelings can be helpful in moving through them.

Our in house Registered Clinical Counsellor, Leeya uses her personal experience with infertility to support her clients with the complex feelings fertility struggles trigger.

Your energy, recovery, and stress tolerance aren’t the same all month. Your hormones shift and your nervous system and metabolism shift with them.

Follicular Phase (Day 1 of Menstrual Bleed to Ovulation)
Estrogen is rising. Inflammation tends to be lower. Your body handles stress better.

🌟 Best time for:
- Strength training
- HIIT / intervals
- Faster cardio sessions
- Learning new skills or pushing intensity

💭 You’ll often notice:
- More motivation
- Faster recovery
- Better pain tolerance
- Higher social energy

Your body is in more of a build + perform mode.

Luteal Phase (Ovulation to Day Before Menstrual Bleed)
Progesterone rises. Body temperature is higher. You’re more stress-sensitive and recovery takes longer.

🌟 Best time for:
- Walking
- Yoga / Pilates
- Moderate weights (not max effort)
- Steady-state cardio
- Mobility + nervous system calming work

💭 You may notice:
- Higher perceived effort
- Reduced heat tolerance
- Slower recovery
- More need for sleep

Your body is in more of a conserve + regulate mode.

In summary, hormone led workouts are about doing what your physiology is primed for. Training hard in the follicular phase builds resilience. Backing off in the luteal phase protects hormones, mood, and recovery.

Your cycle isn’t an inconvenience.
It’s a built-in performance calendar.

Let’s talk about low estrogen!

Estrogen is an important reproductive hormone, playing key roles in your menstrual cycle, mood, brain function, bone health, vaginal health, and more.

Women are more susceptible to low estrogen states with high stress, intense exercise demands, after stopping hormonal contraception, postpartum, and leading into menopause.

When estrogen levels drop, you may notice:

▫️ Irregular or missing periods�▫️ Vaginal dryness or discomfort with intercourse�▫️ Low libido�▫️ Mood changes�▫️ Brain fog or difficulty concentrating�▫️ Fatigue�▫️ Hot flashes or night sweats�▫️ Joint aches

Long-term, low estrogen levels can lead to fertility challenges and a loss of bone mineral density, which is why it’s important to make sure your levels are well balanced!

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, book a Discovery Call with Dr. Alyssa for further support.

💪 Exercise is a powerful tool for your health, but more isn’t always better!

🏋️‍♀️ When training intensity or volume consistently exceeds what your body can recover from, it can disrupt hormonal balance. Chronic overexercising can signal stress to the body, affecting the delicate communication between the brain, ovaries, adrenal glands, and thyroid.

This could lead to:
• Irregular or missing periods�• Changes in ovulation or fertility�• Increased cortisol levels & fatigue�• Sleep disruption�• Mood changes�• Slower recovery or frequent injury

This doesn’t mean that exercise is harmful, but balance matters!! Adequate nutrition, rest days, and tuning into your body’s signals are essential parts of supporting hormonal health. Movement should strengthen your body, not deplete it. ✨

If you’ve noticed cycle changes, low energy, or other symptoms alongside heavy training, it may be worth exploring further. Book a Discovery Call with Dr. Alyssa to get started! 🌙
