If you’re wondering whether exercise can curb your appetite, a new study says intensity matters—especially for women.
New research on exercise and hunger control 🏋️‍♀️

If you’re looking for ways to manage hunger and food cravings, you’ll want to know about this new study from the University of Virginia that showed 👉 High-intensity exercise suppresses levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin more effectively than moderate exercise.

Here’s what they found:

➡️ High-Intensity Exercise
After high-intensity workouts, participants had significantly lower ghrelin levels and reduced hunger. The effect was more pronounced in women, with lower levels of acylated ghrelin, which is directly linked to hunger.

➡️ Moderate-Intensity Exercise
Moderate-intensity exercise didn’t have the same impact on ghrelin levels, and participants even reported slightly higher hunger than with no exercise.

Not everyone needs high-intensity exercise. We take a whole-body and individualized approach when it comes to exercise, hunger, and weight management. If you’re looking for support in these areas, we’d love to help.

If you are in your 30s or 40s and struggle with sleep, now is the time to get support because new research shows sleep in early-middle age affects brain health.
New research on sleep 😴

Based on sleep questionnaires and brain MRIs, a new study found that issues like trouble falling asleep or waking too early around age 40 were linked with an older brain age.

Not only was that true for a snapshot in time, but similar findings persisted over 5 years as long as sleep struggles were not addressed.

We all know that life is better with better sleep, but what I want you to know is that if you struggle with sleep now, that doesn’t mean you always will.

We have a deep toolkit of strategies to support sleep naturally.

I used to think herbal tea was just another hot beverage, but now I know it has real health benefits.
Save this list!

If you love to snuggle up by the fire this time of year with a cup of herbal tea, you’re doing your health a favor. Here are some unique benefits of popular herbal teas and why you might choose one over the other:

🌿 Peppermint is cooling and can have a calming effect on digestion, making it a great choice for after dinner.

🌼 Chamomile supports relaxation and sleep, making it a nice addition to your evening wind-down routine (caution if you are allergic to ragweed because chamomile is related).

🫚 Ginger is spicy and warming. It soothes digestion (especially when feeling queasy) and supports healthy immune function, making it a good choice if you’re fighting off a cold.

🌺 Hibiscus is packed with antioxidants to support heart health, making it a health-promoting tea anytime.

Has this given you any ideas? Which tea will you reach for next?

What if there were supplements that could support healthy immune function through the winter season?

There are!
3 Supplements to Consider for Immune Support

But first to be clear:

“Seasonal support” supplements are meant to strengthen immune function over weeks or months—not to be confused with “temporary support” products, which are best taken when you’re already feeling unwell.

Here they are!
1️⃣ Reishi
Reishi is a medicinal mushroom, traditionally used as an adaptogen to support stress resilience. It is rich in beta-glucans, which modulate immune function over time. Powdered reishi can be mixed into coffee or brewed as tea.

2️⃣ Probiotics
Since 70%-80% of the body’s immune cells reside in the gut, a healthy gut microbiome is essential for supporting immune defenses. Probiotics can be consumed as supplements or in fermented foods.

3️⃣ Vitamin D
Especially during darker months, consuming enough vitamin D is essential for immune function. Studies show that low vitamin D levels increase the risk and severity of infections. Vitamin D can be taken as pills. If you don’t know your vitamin D level, ask to get it checked!

Sugar is making you age faster 💥

Not to be dramatic, but the truth is that sugar spikes cause a biochemical process called glycation…and the production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

Turns out that AGEs play a big role in skin aging.

They accumulate in the skin, compromise collagen, and contribute to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin 😩

Sure, glycation is a natural process that increases with age anyway, but diets that are high in sugar or refined carbs without a balance of healthy fats, fiber, and protein accelerate the process.

Is slowing down the aging process a motivating factor for you?
