If your mood has dipped, it’s not your fault. 😢
And it’s not just about mindset or willpower.

Mood shifts often have deeper root causes—like:

🌀 Chronic stress or burnout
🌙 Hormonal changes (perimenopause, menopause)
🍷 Alcohol or cannabis (even casually)
🩺 Health issues like thyroid imbalance or chronic pain

Your feelings are valid—and they might be your body’s way of asking for support.

Want to feel more focused, motivated, and happy—naturally?

Boost these 5 feel-good brain chemicals:

1️⃣ Serotonin – Get sunlight, eat tryptophan-rich foods, support your gut.
2️⃣ Dopamine – Eat protein, enjoy music, celebrate small wins.
3️⃣ Oxytocin – Hug often, stay connected, give generously.
4️⃣ Endorphins – Laugh, move your body, try acupuncture.
5️⃣ GABA – Sip calming teas, breathe deeply, stretch.

✨ Small steps. Big impact.

🧠 NEW STUDY ALERT
Stress doesn’t just “feel bad”—it actually alters brain structure and function over time.

According to a 2024 study (PMID: 39951265), chronic stress impacts regions of the brain linked to memory, emotional regulation, and inflammation.

Your mental load matters. Supporting your stress isn’t optional—it’s essential. 💛

🍩 NEW RESEARCH ALERT 🍩

Ultra-processed foods are designed to be addictive—but here’s the good news: recent research (PMID: 39654611) shows it’s absolutely possible to break the cycle. 🙌

By increasing awareness and supporting blood sugar balance, we can rewire cravings and regain control—without restriction or guilt.

Small steps matter. Empowered choices add up.

Adaptogens help your body handle stress and its effects.

Two popular adaptogens are Ashwagandha and Rhodiola—so let’s break down the differences:

🌱 Ashwagandha (think ‘calming’)
✔ Eases stress & anxiety
✔ Supports mood & relaxation

🌱 Rhodiola (think ‘energizing’)
✔ Boosts focus & stamina
✔ Supports mitochondria & resilience

Quality matters!

Herbal supplements aren’t tightly regulated, and not all brands contain what they claim.

Also keep in mind that there are potential interactions.If you take medications or have specific health conditions, talk with a practitioner before adding adaptogens.

👉🏽 If you’re looking for better ways to support stress, energy, and resilience, I'm here to help!

Stress is tricky.

It feels like it comes from the mind, but imbalances in your body can make you feel even more stressed. For example:

💥 Blood sugar swings.

Blood sugar crashes can spike cortisol, drain your energy, and disrupt your mood and sleep.

Some things you can do to keep your blood sugar stable for more stress resilience:

✔️ Start the day with protein & healthy fat (not just sugar!)
✔️ Avoid skipping meals (low blood sugar = cortisol trigger)
✔️ Pair carbs with protein or fiber to slow the glucose spike
✔️ Reduce ultra-processed foods that lead to energy crashes

You can’t control every stressor in life—but you can strengthen your body’s ability to handle stress better 💛

If you’ve been feeling “off” and suspect that stress might be impacting your health, you're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

➡️ While hormone testing can be helpful in some cases, it’s not always the first or best step. That said, long-term stress can lead to chronically elevated cortisol levels, which may throw other hormones out of balance.

Here are a few questions to bring to your healthcare provider if you think stress might be playing a role in your symptoms:

1️⃣ Is stress hormone testing right for me?
2️⃣ Could stress be affecting my digestion or gut health?
3️⃣ What nutrients does my body need more of during stressful times?
4️⃣ Could stress be throwing off my hormonal balance?

👇If you're looking for a practitioner who understands how stress, hormones, and digestion are all connected, comment CURIOUS and let’s start the conversation.
