Our mission is to help restore healing by finding the root cause of illness without the use of drugs
(49)
Infinity Wellness Center, office of Dr. Tenesha Weine-Wards, Dr. Lauren Sanchez, and Dr. Danny VanNoy, specializes in determining and healing the core causes of conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and headaches. They also concentrate on supporting female hormones naturally, pre- and post-menopause issues, infertility, and offers prenatal care as well as care for infants and children.
Many patients come to see our Doctors after they have not experienced results with other practitioners. Our success is based on the ability to discover the root cause of a patient's symptoms, at which point we will design an individualized program based on their body's chemistry - resulting in restored energy and enthusiasm for life!
We do this for the patients, and the feedback speaks for itself.
If we weren't helping our patients ultimately heal their long-lived, debilitating symptoms, we're not sure what our purpose in life would be.

..Your Lymph Drainage!
The lymphatic system is CRUCIAL to detoxing and flushing out toxins and infection from our tissues.
If our lymph isn't flowing, nothing is getting cleansed and clogs build up.
You could be doing everything else right, but a struggling lymphatic system could be stopping the whole body from fully healing.
Don’t let Lymph get pushed to the backburner, it could be the catalyst for major healing…

Here are 3 easy ways that you can start to improve your own lymph health at home!
Avoid Inflammatory Foods
You can inadvertently make it harder for your body to heal when it’s battling infection by eating foods that promote inflammation: sugary foods, processed foods, alcohol, caffeine and additives. While reducing inflammatory and high histamine foods, you’ll also want to ADD anti-inflammatory foods and supplements.
Exercise and Sweat Regularly
Like clearing the clogs in plumbing, getting your body moving, blood, flowing, lungs working, and perspiration active can have a huge impact on the ability of your lymphatic system to do it’s job.
Keep Lymph Flowing with Massage and Dry Brushing
Dry brushing helps the lymphatic system by promoting lymph flow and drainage, physically. Gently brushing the skin in strokes from the extremities towards the heart, along the lymph vessels’ path, you can actually help move lymph through the vessels and towards the lymph nodes, where the lymph fluid is processed and purified.

This is for the healer and the healing.
Trauma is stored in the body, we know this. Yet we so easily get caught up in the mental and verbal processing portion of healing. Of course this awareness and recognition is a crucial step in healing, but that doesn't cover everything. We also need to allow our bodies to process the experience and blocked emotional effect, and let it MOVE THROUGH us... The lymphatic system carries and processes toxins and cast offs from tissues to be processed and to MOVE THROUGH. If we are not allowing that which does not serve us anymore to move out and through, we are staying stagnant.
If you have hit a wall in therapy, if you are struggling to move past something that feels irrelevant to your life now, consider spending some energy in helping your lymph system function at it's highest and best ability. In most trauma cases, we need to allow both the emotional AND physical affects of trauma to be processed, which is what our body innately does - we just need to help it every now and then.
If you need a boost, call us to book an appointment with Lacy Falls for MBSR healing.
Causes of Congested Lymph can be any of the following:
Environmental Toxins (ESPECIALLY if you have the MTHFR gene defect and are a poor detoxer)
- Chemicals in beauty products
- House cleaning chemicals
-Food preservatives/dyes
- Dry cleaning chemicals
- New paint and carpets in a home
- Poor/toxic air quality
Also:
Infections
Leaky gut
Medications
Pregnancy - retaining fluid
Scar Tissues/Post Surgery
Dehydration - Mineral depletion
Chronic Stress
Stored Emotions and traumas

It really doesn't take much. You can begin improving your lymphatic drainage right now!
It's true that in some serious cases of infection or blockage, certain medicine can be an important part of the recovery process. But for most of us, simple and cost-effective methods can start improving our drainage and lymph functions: get active throughout the day, dry brush yourself and get massaged, lower inflammation by eating anti-inflammatory foods and supplements, and get sweaty!

PS: we're working on something super special behind the scenes and we can't wait to share it with you!
Have you been ignoring your lymph system? If you think it's one of those things that just works in the background, and isn't worth your attention, think again. With over 800 lymph nodes throughout your body, and a series of vessels that mimics the circulatory system, the healthy functioning of your lymphatic system should definitely be a top priority.
Learn more about lymph function and ways to make sure it's not blocked in our latest blog: https://www.austinholisticdr.com/lymphatic_system/
What is Lymph and what does the Lymphatic System do?
A proper functioning lymphatic system is crucial to the health of your immune system and whole-body stability. The lymphatic system runs parallel to the circulatory system, and includes hundreds of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes located throughout the body. This system carries lymph – a clear fluid containing toxins and discard from cells and tissues. Lymphatic fluid also helps to deliver white blood cells throughout the body which are the primary fighter of infections and disease.
The lymphatic system performs crucial functions like oxygenating cells, eliminating waste and detoxing our body from chemicals in our food and environment. Important parts of the lymphatic system include lymph fluid, lymph nodes, lymph vessels, ducts, appendix, bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and tonsils.
Learn more about lymphatic health in our latest blog: https://www.austinholisticdr.com/lymphatic_system/
It's common for other things to be in the spotlight when we are focusing on healing: GI and digestion, hormonal balance, adrenal regulation... but lymph often gets overlooked. Strange, because our lymphatic system is CRUCIAL to detoxing and flushing out toxins and infection from our tissues.
If our lymph isn't flowing, nothing is getting cleansed and clogs build up.
You could be doing everything else right, but a struggling lymphatic system could be stopping the whole body from fully healing.
Learn more in our latest blog: https://www.austinholisticdr.com/lymphatic_system/
Don't forget to pay attention to your Lymph Nodes & Lymphatic Drainage!
You may have hit a wall in your healing journey because your lymph is congested and not flushing out infections and toxins.
Our latest blog article covers the details of lymphatic functions, how blocked lymph can show up symptomatically, and what you can do to support your lymph system.

We know, we KNOW... there are so many wonderfully tasty, indulgent foods on this list. We're not telling you what to do! If wine & cheese night what's keeping you going, don't let that go🤣 What we're saying is, you don't HAVE to avoid these, especially if you don't have a problem with histamine production or processing.
BUT for those that are suffering with out-of-wack histamine, this is for you. Histamine imbalance can be signaled by symptoms like:
- Recurring rashes
- Hives or Eczema
- Headaches & Migraines
- Frequent allergy symptoms: runny nose & congestion, itchy & watery eyes, sneezing
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Blood Pressure issues
- Trouble breathing
- Increased heart rate
- Irregular menstruation
If any of those sound like things you deal with on a regular basis, you might consider getting tested for histamine intolerance, and doing an elimination diet to see if you your symptoms improve purely by avoiding foods and drinks like these. All the things on this list affect histamine - either they contain a high amount of histamine, or they trigger a histamine response when consumed, or they slow down production of the histamine-clearing enzyme, DAO.
We know avoidance is hard, but is suffering really worth it?

Share this with a friend who is suffering with allergies! What food is already a regular part of you diet?
"Wow the allergies are so bad right now!"
I've said, you've said, we've all said it. But technically this statement isn't accurate. We're not pointing out the grammar just to be high-and-mighty. We want you to recognize the difference between the things that cause allergy response (aka Allergens) and the physical symptoms that trigger in your body (aka Allergies). Here are a few key differences:
Allergy Facts
- Science is unclear "why" allergies are a thing. Researchers have not been able to identify why our bodies mistake certain allergens as threats
- There is evidence that allergies are related to our genetics, and are passed down from our parents and grandparents
- The allergic reaction and allergy symptoms are generally cause by antibodies produced by our immune system as a way to fend of the "attack" of allergens
- The immune response which activates antibodies also triggers histamines from mast cells
Allergen Facts
- The Big 9 Allergens according to the USFDA are peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, eggs, milk, sesame, soy, & wheat
- Allergens from plants are most commonly pollen of trees, grasses, and flowers, but other parts of plants can also trigger immune response (urushiol in poison ivy, poison oak, and mangoes)
- Most people allergic to animals are sensitive to pet dander, but eating animal meat or byproduct can trigger allergy response. Biting insects can also cause allergic reactions - fleas, mosquitos, bed bugs, etc.
- Certain medicines and drugs are common allergens - NSAIDS, penicillin, etc.
- There are hundreds of types of molds that we are exposed to on a regular basis, but not all of them are responsible for causing allergy symptoms: Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium and Penicillium, are the standard allergens that affect us.

If you suffer from symptoms like headaches, sinus pressure, and itchy eyes, you know how frustrating it can be to find symptom relief from allergies. Here are 5 of our favorite supplements and herbs that can offer relief from seasonal or exposure to allergens:
Stinging Nettle
- Brew a tea made from its leaves or take it as a supplement. Research suggests that stinging nettle reduces the body’s histamine production and related inflammation.
Vitamin C
- A natural antihistamine, Vitamin C boosts the immune system and helps the body react less strongly to allergens.
Quercetin
- Research suggests that quercetin reduces the respiratory effects of allergies. It’s found naturally in many foods and herbs, but is also popular as a supplement.
Spirulina
- This type of blue-green algae is popular for reducing inflammation in the nasal passageways. It’s sold both as a power to mix into other foods or taken as a supplement.
Holy Basil:
- Also called Tulsi, drinking tea or taking a daily supplement of Holy Basil helps your body regulate histamine production.
More of our favorite remedies and tips can be found in our latest blog on supporting allergy symptoms at home!
https://www.austinholisticdr.com/home-remedies-for-allergy-symptoms/
One of the challenges in discerning if you have allergies or histamine intolerance is the fact that symptoms can look almost identical. Here, we outline some of the differences between regular allergen response and an overload of histamine in the system:
Allergies:
- When our immune system perceives external substances as toxic or harmful
- Immune response produces histamine which leads to allergy symptoms
- Allergens commonly experienced are pollen, dairy, fish, peanuts, dander, etc.
~versus~
Histamine Intolerance:
- Symptoms can look very similar to allergen response, but can be constant
- An overload of histamine that doesn't get processed out, usually due to low digestive enzyme, diamine oxidase (DAO)
- Genetic variants, medication, and diet can affect production of DOA and lead to histamine intolerance
Do you feel like you may be suffering from allergies OR histamine intolerance? The best way to know for sure is to run tests for allergens, genetics, and digestive enzymes (such as DAO). Call our office and we can order tests to help construct a data-based solution to your symptoms.
Histamine has a bad rap in some circles. With the standard "Have you taken your antihistamine?" response to your allergy complaints, of course you would develop a negative association with histamines - they cause so many problems, right??
The real answer is... complicated.
Histamine is a naturally occurring chemical found primarily in mast cells in the body. It is a neurotransmitter and plays an important role in helping us heal from injuries. Histamine is also a natural component of many foods, a vital part of the immune and nervous systems, and plays an important role in inflammation. Certain plants and animals produce histamine, which can create the reactions we are familiar with: swelling, itchy skin, gastrointestinal issues, flushing and redness, trouble breathing, etc.
A regular amount of histamine is a vital part of our immune response. But too much histamine can cause additional issues.

Your body is naturally a self-healing machine. But different factors can impact it's healing abilities. Most doctors want you to believe that only pills and surgery can heal your ailments.

Are your adrenal glands responsible for your chronic fatigue? If you're constantly stressed, they might be. Your adrenal glands create cortisol (among other hormones) as a response to stress and can become fatigued if they release it too often. This can lead to symptoms like exhaustion, poor mood regulation, brain fog and more. Read the blog to learn how adrenal function is linked to chronic fatigue: https://www.austinholisticdr.com/how-to-identify-chronic-fatigue-from-adrenal-issues/ . . . #functionalmedicine #wellness #backtobalanced #healing #ATX #infinitywellnesscenter #theinfinityway #cellcore #cellcorebiosciences #chronicfatigue #chronicfatiguesyndrome #chronicfatigueawareness #fixyourfatigue #chronicfatiguerecovery #chronicfatiguesupport #adrenalfatigue

If you have Lyme disease, a strong immune system is your best defense against symptom flareups. Infections, viruses (like COVID), and even the common cold can trigger Lyme symptoms. Here are a few lifestyle changes we recommend for Lyme sufferers, especially during a flareup: -Anti-inflammatory diet: A low-sugar, low-carb diet high in lean proteins and clean, whole foods will help bring the gut flora back into balance. -Good sleep habits: Quality sleep helps make symptoms less severe -Supplements: Specific supplementation can reduce oxidation, remove toxins, and block enzymes that cause an immune response Learn more about why we use a whole-body approach to Lyme disease: https://www.austinholisticdr.com/common-conditions/lyme-disease/ #lymediseaseawareness #lymedisease #functionalmedicine #integrativemedicine #holisitichealth #backtobalanced #infinitywellnesscenter #theinfinityway #wellness
Chronic Lyme disease symptoms can include any, or a mix of the following: 🧠Brain Fog 🙈Headache 🤭Stiff neck 👂Light or sound sensitivity 😶🌫️Cognitive impairment 😴Sleep disturbance 😭Depression, anxiety, or mood swings 🧘♀️Arthritis 😩Fatigue 😣Abdominal pain, nausea, 🤢diarrhea ❤️❤️Chest pain, palpitations 😮💨Shortness of breath ⚡️Tingling, burning or shooting pains
Most Lyme Disease tests are only about 60% accurate, with many false negatives.

May is Lyme Disease Awareness month and why @drtenesha got into functional medicine. 💚 “Drawing from her personal struggles of suffering from misdiagnosed Lyme disease at age 15 and later in life post-natal Epstein Barr Virus, Autoimmune Thyroiditis, and Hashimoto’s Disease, Dr. Wards learned how to treat the person, and not the symptoms of the disease. After being failed by the traditional medical system, she learned holistic health and used nutrition to heal herself. Dr. Wards is a published author, public speaker, wife, and mother while she runs her business healing women and men all over the world. Dr. Wards’ work is based on a fundamental principle that promoting health and wellness has no boundary.

Getting rid of brain fog shouldn't be a puzzle! Take a look at how we help overcome brain fog naturally: https://www.austinholisticdr.com/common-conditions/brain-fog/
Did you know? 🥱 Hormonal changes can trigger brain fog in women. We often see these changes during pregnancy and menopause. 😔 The hormones progesterone and estrogen increase during pregnancy which can impact memory and cause short-term cognitive impairment. 🥴 Decreased estrogen levels during menopause may trigger forgetfulness and inability to focus. If you've noticed these changes, schedule an appointment with our team. We'll work with you every step of the way to bring you back to balanced! https://www.austinholisticdr.com/make-appointment/ #theinfinityway #functionalmedicine #wellness #healingATX #infinitywellnesscenter #brainfog #hormones

If you've ever experienced #brainfog then you can vouch that the word "fog" doesn't quite cut the debilitating effects of this ailment that is frequently glazed over by conventional doctors. Would we call someone's debilitating arthritis "sore hands" or someone's non-functioning legs "numb legs"? No! Alas, that is the term we seem to be stuck with despite our patients comparing this debilitation of the brain more akin to dementia, Alzheimer's, and other forms of memory loss. Can't remember simple words? Forget what you were talking about mid-sentence? Someone ask you a simple question and it hurts so bad to think you become irritable? You could be experiencing brain fog.

Ever start a Lyme or parasitic, or even candida protocol and feel worse? This may be why: A Jarisch-Herxheimer (JH) is a “temporary worsening of the symptoms of Lyme disease that occurs when the Lyme spirochete is being killed off by antibiotics, creating inflammation…These JH reactions produce cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-8), which then create inflammatory symptoms, including increased fever, muscle and joint pain, headaches, cognitive impairment, and a general worsening of the underlying symptomology.” To promote healing, the inflammatory cytokines and the dying bacteria need to be cleared from the body. When the body can’t clear these toxins from the blood stream fast enough, it results in an acid imbalance that then impairs the enzymes needed to maintain a normal pH (balance of acidity to alkalinity). The more spirochetes that die, the stronger the reaction will be. Ideally, the faster people can clear dead bacteria from their bodies, the sooner they will feel better. This clearing or detoxifying process is commonly known as “detox” with Lyme patients. The onset for a Lyme herx is generally 48-72 hours after initiating antimicrobials and can last for weeks. Fortunately, we have lots of bio hacks and detox tips and tricks to shorten this reaction. If you have any questions let me know!💚💚

A Friend recently shared this with me. It was a social post made when Anthony Bourdain passed. (Which was a defining moment in our home being married to a chef) I found it not only beyond profound, but also the perfect way to introduce our March topic of brain chemistry. I’ve read and reread a 100 times since he shared it. Note it was written by, IMO, one of the most brilliant poets of our time. I would love to hear your thoughts, feelings, and any question you may have on how and why we test brain chemicals. Enjoy, Dr. Tenesha “I thought it was impossible to have a better life than Anthony Bourdain. But his final bittersweet gift just knocked me on my ass with the stark reminder that adventure, love, prosperity, prestige…anything we aspire to at all…is really just the currency we use to buy the four things that really matter: dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins. Realizing that even that kiss that melts your heart… only melts it because those four fairy godmothers waved their magic wands and turned your brain into a freakin princess. But if our brain hits us with a really sh*tty exchange rate, if suddenly winning that Academy Award only buys us a day’s ration of serotonin, then how the hell are we supposed to stock up for our whole lives? That Anthony Bourdain can stand on the highest mountain and feel nothing but a desire to move toward oblivion is all I need to kick me in the ass and ask the most important question, how’s my exchange rate? What can I do to get more joy out of everything I’m presented with, big or small? How does anyone do that? I guess there begins one’s lifelong quest for God, psychedelic drugs, transcendental meditation, or whatever the hell else you need to do to bring true value to the external pleasures of the world. Anything that promises, not pleasure, but perspective. There's a good case to be made that those are the things worth seeking first, before even love and success. Because watching my little boy
