We care a lot about truly healing rather than just masking symptoms. At Amaluna we go deep into every aspect of your life and the work is transformative. This is truly holistic medicine.

When you come to us for a functional medicine consult, we create a treatment plan that addresses emotional, physical, spiritual, and environmental factors. This plan includes recommendations for diet, herbs, vitamins, exercise, habits, meditations, other modalities or practitioners that get you back to your best health.

And sometimes the answer truly is more of the simple things that have been around for 100s of years. What are your non-negotiables on this list?

Let’s talk about 5 shifts you can make in the 90 days prior to conception to best prepare for implantation & early pregnancy.

In Chinese medicine we prime the body by building Blood and Jing (essence), smoothing Qi, and warming the womb so implantation feels welcome. We would love to be a part of your journey whether that’s through consistent acupuncture and keeping track of your key labs as you navigate this new and exciting season!

An incredible story of one of our patients. Struggling with severe PMDD, feeling bipolar, muscle pain, fatigue, headaches, vitamin deficiency, intense histamine reactions.

We tried regular acupuncture for 8 weeks and…

PMDD level mood swings resolved.
Fatigue reduced to 2-3 days a month.
Ashiness resolved.
Histamine symptoms reduced by 50%.
Headaches stopped.

Acupuncture is such an amazing healing tool. When you’re ready to take that step towards healing, reach out.

Daily elimination isn’t just “nice to have.” It’s essential for detoxing your body and keeping your digestion, hormones, and overall health in balance.

Here are some indicators you might be constipated:
🚽 Going more than 24 hrs without a BM
🚽 Hard, lumpy, or pellet-like stools
🚽 Feeling incomplete after going
🚽 Straining

And… indicators of a healthy p**p? 💩 1–3 banana-shaped, medium–dark brown movements per day… ideally in the morning, with no strain, minimal wiping, and no strong odor.

Your body uses stool to eliminate plastics, hormones, heavy metals, meds, mycotoxins + more. Constipation = toxin buildup.

5 Keys to Regularity:
1️⃣ Eat more fiber-rich fruits, veggies, grains & legumes
2️⃣ Hydrate (water + minerals before coffee is a game-changer)
3️⃣ Move daily (morning walks help!)
4️⃣ Reduce stress (deep breathing, slower mornings)
5️⃣ Address medical causes (thyroid, SIBO, meds, etc.)

Herbal remedies, probiotics, magnesium, acupuncture, and functional medicine can all help get things moving again.

Ready for regular, healthy BMs? Book a consult at Amaluna Wellness to create your personalized digestion & elimination plan.

You don’t need a stress-free life to feel calm. You need stress resilience... The ability to stay grounded no matter what life throws at you.

Here’s how ⬇️
1️⃣ Reduce External Pressures
Say no. Delegate. Ask for help. Set boundaries.
Most importantly, shift your perspective. Reframe challenges as opportunities.

2️⃣ Build Your Physical Resources
Prioritize nutrition, sleep, movement, low-tox living, and routines that nourish you.

3️⃣ Build Your Emotional Resources
Practice calm + joy daily. Meditate, journal, pray. Do more of what lights you up. Strengthen your “peace pathways” in the brain.

4️⃣ Feel, Don’t Fuel
Notice emotions without feeding the story. Breathe through them, name them, let them pass. Use movement, hobbies, or connection to shift your state.

The goal isn’t to eliminate stress, it’s to trust yourself to meet it with calm, clarity, and confidence.

Want a personalized plan to boost your stress resilience? Book a functional medicine consult at Amaluna Wellness.

Boulder has trucks that drive around neighborhoods in Boulder city, Longmont, Lafayette, Erie, Louisville, and Superior spraying toxic pesticides into the air in an attempt to control the mosquitoes.

While Pyrethroids from Permethrin may be amongst the least toxic of insecticides (not saying much), they are an excitatory nerve poison. They act upon the sodium ion channels in nerve cell membranes and lead to the following:
🌿 Neurotoxic effects include tremors, incoordination, elevated body temperature, increased aggressive behavior, and disruption of learning. Laboratory tests suggest that permethrin is more acutely toxic to children than to adults.
🌿 Long-term effects: disrupts the endocrine system, causing excessive estrogen levels in females. In human males, its estrogenizing (feminizing) effects include lowered s***m counts.
🌿 Inhalation: coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, runny or stuffy nose, chest pain, or difficulty breathing.
🌿 Skin contact: rash, itching, or blisters.
🌿 Other: A known carcinogen. There is evidence that pyrethroids harm the thyroid gland. Causes chromosomal damage in hamsters and mice; deformities in amphibians; blood abnormalities in birds.

Find out more information and opt out of pesticides for mosquitoes through the 🔗 in our bio.

Matcha isn't just a trend—it's a powerhouse of health benefits that will keep you feeling great for years to come!

✨ Boosts Calmness and Focus: L-theanine in matcha lowers anxiety and enhances memory and attention.

🔥 Powerful Antioxidant and Fat Burner: Matcha is rich in EGCg, helping to prevent cancer cell growth, reduce fatigue, and boost metabolism.

💚 Reduces Inflammation: With chlorophyll, Vitamin A, and potassium, matcha fights oxidative damage and supports anti-aging.

🍵 Quality Matters: Choose high-quality matcha from trusted sources. Look for vibrant green color, silky texture, and a mildly sweet flavor.

❌ Avoid Nausea: Enjoy matcha with food or mixers like collagen, MCT oil, or nut milk to prevent dizziness or nausea.

🧊 Perfect Preparation: Use water just below boiling temp to avoid burning your matcha and enjoy the best taste.

If you’re feeling anxious, depressed or unmotivated, one of THE most effective and free interventions you can do immediately is download AppBlock and set it to strict mode and limit your use of social media to an hour a day or less (not in the morning or before bed).

Watch your mental health transform. No arguments allowed until you’ve done it for at least two weeks.

Do you need a Parasite Cleanse? 🐛

Nearly everyone has parasites at some point. Hookworms, tapeworms, pinworms, roundworms, and threadworms are the most common infections in the United States.

Think you only get parasites from traveling to third-world countries? Think again! You get them from your organic carrots you didn’t wash thoroughly, that salmon avocado sushi roll from last weekend, gardening, and from playing with your dog. Avoiding parasites is almost impossible.

You may have parasites you’re experiencing:
• Digestive Issues
• Fatigue
• Anemia
• Swelling around the eyes
• Food allergies
• Foul smelling gas
• Dizziness
• Loss of appetite
• Itching in sensitive areas
• Sleep issues
• Weight problems
• Teeth clenching
• Recurring unexplained headaches
• Strong sugar or carb cravings

Without testing stool or blood, the only way to tell if your symptoms are from parasites is if they improve post-cleanse.

To do a parasite cleanse, you need to take anti-parasitic herbs for a minimum of 2 weeks. It is best to repeat the process again within 3 months, to kill off any parasites missed during the first round.

The following are anti-parasitic:
—> Diatomaceous Earth
—> Black walnut hulls
—> Wormwood
—> Cloves
—> Pumpkin seeds, papaya seeds, pineapple, coconut oil
—> Garlic
—> Marshmallow root
—> Thyme

Visit our wellness blog on our website to get the full at-home Parasite Cleanse Guide or to find out if you have parasites, you can schedule a functional medicine consult with us from anywhere in the US.
