Amy Nelson, ND I focus on the root cause of illness in three main areas: IBS, Hormonal Health, and Neurotransmitters

Joy doesn’t come from food — it comes from your life.
Life includes ups and downs, and that’s okay. You don’t have to feel happy all the time to be okay.
The real strength is knowing you can handle the hard moments, and asking for support when you need it.

I specialize in gut, hormone and neurotransmitter health. Work with me! More info at dramynelsonnd.com.

Let’s, talk about stress, digestion and your bone health!

We’re not praising people for how they look—including our kids, our clients, and ourselves.
Appearance-based praise can fuel body image issues, especially during sensitive times like puberty or weight loss. Instead, let’s focus on character, effort, and connection.
Respect and love shouldn’t depend on how someone looks.

If your self-love changes depending on the scale, that’s something to work on before focusing on weight loss.
Otherwise, weight loss can actually deepen body dysmorphia and emotional self-harm patterns. Healing starts with recognizing those tendencies and learning to practice unconditional self-love.
In my world, therapy is as normal as going to the dentist. Mental health support isn’t a last resort—it’s part of the routine. And it’s okay if you need help unlearning those deep, internal patterns. That’s what therapy is for.
Let’s normalize emotional healing as part of true health.

If your self-worth rises and falls with the number on the scale, it’s time to look deeper.
When weight gain triggers anxiety, self-criticism, or emotional self-harm—but weight loss makes you feel more lovable or valuable—that’s not love. That’s a conditional relationship with yourself.
True self-love isn’t based on numbers. It’s steady. It’s compassionate. And it doesn’t change when the scale does.

08/12/2025

When someone is carrying extra weight, I don’t jump to judgment—I think about stress.
Chronic stress often shows up in the body as weight gain. But instead of support, our society responds with shame, unrealistic beauty ideals, and harmful messaging.
We can do better.
Let’s break the toxic pattern and start responding with compassion instead of criticism.

Weight loss isn’t one-size-fits-all. From a functional medicine perspective, we take a whole-body approach and look beneath the surface to find out what’s really going on.
Is there hidden insulin resistance?�Is the thyroid under-functioning?�Are the adrenals stuck in stress mode?�Is the liver congested or the gut inflamed?�Are hormones out of balance?
These are just some of the factors that can affect metabolism and block weight loss. Through detailed testing, we identify which systems need support—because true healing happens when we treat the root cause, not just the symptom.

Looking to boost Klotho levels in your body? Here are some key nutrients that help support its production:
– Resveratrol – found in the skin of grapes and dark berries like blueberries. Skip the wine (alcohol cancels the benefits) and go for a supplement or eat those berries whole.�
– Curcumin – from turmeric, but you need a concentrated supplement with curcuminoids to see the benefits.
�– Astaxanthin – the antioxidant that gives salmon, shrimp, and red algae their color.
�– Vitamin D – supports Klotho, and interestingly, Klotho helps regulate vitamin D too.�
– Omega-3s – reduce inflammation and support overall Klotho activity.

These are real ways you can influence your body’s healing and longevity pathways—starting now.

Curcumin helps boost Klotho levels in the body.
This powerful compound (found in turmeric) doesn’t just reduce inflammation—it actually helps your body produce more of the Klotho protein, which supports brain, heart, and kidney health.
But here’s the key: it has to be a concentrated form with active curcuminoids. Cooking with turmeric isn’t enough. A quality supplement is where you’ll see the real impact.

My go-to Curcumin Supplement is Turiva by Orthomolecular. Find it on my Fullscript:

Meet Klotho: your body’s quiet powerhouse.
This little protein does a lot—reducing oxidative stress, protecting your brain, heart, and kidneys. In studies, higher Klotho levels were linked to better memory, healthier arteries, and even a longer lifespan.
Low Klotho? Think inflammation, stiff arteries, brain fog, and poor calcium regulation.
The best part? Klotho is influenced by your lifestyle. How you eat, sleep, move, and manage stress can all make a difference.
It’s one more reminder that the choices you make every day really do matter for your long-term health.

What is Klotho?
It’s a powerful signaling protein in the body that helps regulate how we respond to stress and inflammation.
Klotho plays a big role in mineral balance—regulating calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D—and is especially abundant in the kidneys, where it supports cellular health and healing.
In short, Klotho helps the body stay resilient. It’s one of those behind-the-scenes players that can make a major impact on your health.

You have more power over your health than you think.
Most genetic conditions are triggered by environment—stress, inflammation, sleep, habits. That means your choices can shift your health for the better.
When you support your nervous system, nourish your body, and make intentional choices—you’re influencing how your genes express.
This is how you take your power back.
