Balancing Your Immune System

01/02/2026

Inflammation is not the enemy. It is one of the body’s most important defense and healing mechanisms.

There are two fundamental types of inflammation: acute and chronic.

When you hit your finger or get a cut, the body responds immediately. The area may swell, turn red, feel warm, or become painful. Blood flow increases, immune cells arrive, and the repair process begins. After a short period of time, the inflammation resolves and healing is complete.
This is acute inflammation — a healthy, necessary process with a clear beginning, purpose, and end.

Chronic inflammation is different.

Instead of resolving, it lingers quietly for months or even years. The signals are often subtle: persistent fatigue, joint or back discomfort, headaches, digestive bloating, or a general sense that something feels “off.” Over time, this low-grade inflammation can create the background for more serious health challenges, including cardiovascular and brain issues, metabolic dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune conditions, thyroid imbalances, joint degeneration, and more.

Chronic inflammation isn’t always visible — but it’s felt in how we move, think, and live each day.

One of the strongest drivers of chronic inflammation is the balance between Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-6 fats tend to produce pro-inflammatory signals, while Omega-3 fats help produce anti-inflammatory messengers. Ideally, this ratio should be close to 3:1, yet modern diets have shifted it dramatically. In the United States, the average Omega-6 : Omega-3 ratio is approximately 22:1, and it's mainly due to the high percentage of omega 6's contained in our modern diet.

Supporting the body with adequate Omega-3 intake has been associated with meaningful benefits, including:
• Reduced inflammation
• Support for heart, brain, and skin health
• Improved stress resilience
• Healthier aging over time

The way you feel each day is information — your body communicating its current state.

I am passionate about helping people understand that message through education and testing, and to support healthier balance using evidence-based nutritional approaches. When the body regains balance at the cellular level, many people experience improvements in energy, clarity, mobility, and overall well-being.

If you’re curious about your own balance, I’m always happy to have a conversation...

Diets don’t fail because people lack willpower — they fail because they’re temporary.

Most diets rely on restriction, ignore real life, and end the moment stress, travel, or weekends show up. They fight habits instead of changing them.

A diet asks, “How long can you stick it out?”
A lifestyle asks, “How do I live better every day?”

Lasting health comes from small, sustainable changes & education — not cutting everything out, but choosing better, understanding your body, and building habits you can actually maintain.

This year, stop chasing another diet.
Build a lifestyle that lasts...

Assuming your supplements are working without proof can be as bad as not taking them at all...

12/12/2025

As the holiday lights twinkle and the spirit of giving fills the air this Christmas season, what could be a more heartfelt gift for your loved ones than the promise of a longer, healthier life together? In our fast-paced world, the modern diet often falls short, making it challenging for our bodies to get the essential nutrients we need each day. Even wholesome foods today don't pack the same nutritional punch they did in generations past—many are filled with "empty calories," offering energy but little true nourishment. This is sometimes called Type B malnutrition, and it's a quiet concern affecting so many families.
That's why thoughtful supplementation has shifted from an optional choice to a gentle necessity for supporting well-being. Yet, in a crowded market, it's wise to choose carefully—many products simply don't deliver the benefits they promise.
At Zinzino, we take a compassionate, science-backed approach with personalized, test-based nutrition tailored just for you or your family members. Our dosages are customized based on individual needs, and our easy-to-use tests provide clear, reassuring data showing real results—that the supplements are working as intended, giving you exactly what you've invested in for better health.
Your family deserves this kind of caring support, and we're honored to share these tools to help you nurture lasting vitality. If you'd like guidance on getting started, understanding the tests, or finding the right fit, I'm here with an open heart to assist—let's make this holiday season one of renewed health and joy. ❤️
