As we navigate watching the news around the fires in LA, rising costs of living, political changes, and the relentless demands of raising a healthy family (while staying healthy ourselves), it’s easy to feel like we’re caught in a storm—stretched thin, overwhelmed, and uncertain of how to move forward.

But what if you could take just one hour to step out of the chaos and into a space of clarity and calm?

What if you can still commit to waking up feeling energized, confident, and ready to take on your day.
What if you can still feel deeply connected to yourself, balanced in your emotions, and aligned in your decisions.

Burnout doesn’t just leave you exhausted; it impacts your hormones, metabolism, and overall health. But there’s hope—small, impactful steps can make a big difference. 💪

1️⃣ Self-Awareness is Key: Healing starts by recognizing what’s happening in your body. Burnout often sneaks in with signs like irritability, fatigue, or digestive issues. Tune in early to prevent it from escalating.

2️⃣ Address the Root Causes: Burnout is complex, affecting your hormones and metabolism. To reverse it, focus on:

Hormonal Balance: Chronic stress disrupts hormone balance, causing symptoms like weight gain and mood swings.
Nutrition: Nourish your body with whole foods to support healing.
Stress Management: Mindfulness, yoga, and boundaries help keep cortisol in check.
3️⃣ Rest is Non-Negotiable: In a busy world, rest is often overlooked. True recovery means making time for deep rest and relaxing activities to restore your energy. 🌿

When you’re stressed, your body enters “fight or flight” mode, triggering the release of cortisol, a stress hormone. In short bursts, cortisol is helpful, giving you energy and focus to handle immediate threats. But when stress becomes chronic, your body is constantly flooded with cortisol, leading to several health issues:

Fatigue: Chronic cortisol exposure leaves you feeling wired but tired. You might feel exhausted even after a full night’s sleep.
Weight gain: High cortisol levels contribute to stubborn belly fat, making weight loss feel impossible.
Hormonal imbalances: Stress disrupts hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone, causing irregular periods, mood swings, and low libido.
Blood sugar issues: Chronic stress can lead to insulin resistance, making it harder to regulate blood sugar and increasing your risk for type 2 diabetes.
Digestive problems: Stress affects your gut health, leading to bloating, constipation, or IBS.
✨ Comment below: How does stress show up in your body? You’re not alone, and understanding your response is the first step toward healing. 💪

Sometimes we don’t see the effects of our habits, mindset, lifestyle, food choices, relationship choices until some time has passed. On reflection. My redo would be 1) dont feel guilty about sleeping more 2) change your relationship with stress 3) learn to let go if that the voice that judges you in your head. What about you?

This might explain a few things.

A new study tracking 108 Californians between the ages of 25 and 75 found that human aging is not linear! Instead, they found bursts of disruption in molecular markers of aging at 2 points in time:

▪️ Around the age of 44, changes occur that affect the metabolism of lipids, caffeine, and alcohol
▪️ Around the age of 60, changes occur that affect immune function, kidney function, and the metabolism of carbohydrates

The study used the words “waves” and “crests” to describe the moments across the lifespan when aging activities spike. At both the age 44 and age 60 crests, muscle and skin aging also accelerated.

Do you think your body has hit one of these aging bursts?

💥 Not all estrogens are equal.

Maybe you’ve heard that estrogen fuels breast cancer risk.

But did you know that there are many different estrogen metabolites and some present a greater risk than others?

Also, estrogen metabolites interact with genetics, liver enzymes, antioxidants, and other biochemical pathways to ultimately determine breast cancer risk.

Meaning estrogen is only part of the puzzle 🧩

Some things we can do for healthy estrogen metabolism include:

▪️ Support estrogen elimination from the gut with fiber-rich foods, probiotics, and supplements like calcium-d-glucarate
▪️ Support estrogen metabolism in the liver with sulfur-rich foods (like onions, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts) and antioxidant supplements like resveratrol
▪️ Support production of more favorable estrogen metabolites with supplements like DIM (diindolylmethane) and I3C (indole-3-carbinol)

The best approach is one that is personalized to YOU.

If you are looking to strike the perfect balance of hormonal health today and disease risk reduction down the road, we are here to help.

Can you guess it?

All of these things contain 💥xenoestrogens💥

Xenoestrogens are chemicals in everyday products that have estrogen-like effects.

Exposure to these chemicals has been linked to:

▪️ Uterine fibroids
▪️ Endometriosis
▪️ Infertility
▪️ PCOS
▪️ Early menopause
▪️ Early puberty

As well as cancers, metabolic disorders, obesity and more 😢

The point is not to fear everything we breathe, eat, smell, or touch. The point is to understand simple things we can do to minimize exposures to xenoestrogens and endocrine disruptors on an everyday basis over time.

Here are some things anyone can do:

💧 Carry a glass or stainless steel water bottle rather than plastic
💸 Opt to skip printed receipts
🧴Choose fragrance-free cleaning products
🍭 Avoid synthetic food dyes
🌽 Purchase organic foods
💋Choose personal care products that are paraben-free
🌱 Use air purifiers and/or house plants to keep indoor air clean

Think of your body as a bucket. Chemical toxins are always pouring into the bucket, and your natural detox pathways are always draining those toxins out. As long as you are clearing out toxins faster than they are building up, you’ll stay in a space of health.
