TRUTHFUL THURSDAY 🌿
Fire Cider & Gut Health — Let’s Clear This Up

Myth: Fire cider is great for your gut if you take it every day
Truth: Fire cider can help digestion… or irritate your gut if overused 👀

Here’s the simple breakdown:
🔥 Fire cider is acidic + spicy
🔥 It stimulates digestion
🔥 That’s helpful for some guts, not all

🌿 When fire cider CAN support gut health:
✔ Low stomach acid
✔ Sluggish digestion
✔ Bloating after meals
✔ Seasonal use (not forever daily)

If traditional fire cider feels too harsh on your stomach, you’re not broken—your gut just needs less heat and more harmony.

🚨 Fire cider may NOT feel great if you deal with:
• Acid reflux or heartburn
• Gastritis or ulcers
• IBS flares
• Burning or discomfort after taking it
• “Fire” in the stomach (your body’s not being poetic—it’s warning you)

✨ That’s where our capsaicin-free Fire Cider comes in.✨
Same great gut health without the heat!

Fire Cider isn’t meant to force digestion. It’s meant to support it gently.

More isn’t better. Better is better.

🌱 What to use for gut health instead (or alongside):

💚 Gentle gut soothers
• Ginger tea
• Chamomile
• Slippery elm or marshmallow root (if appropriate)

💚 Gut-lining support
• Warm, nourishing foods
• Bone broth or mineral-rich broths
• Slow, mindful eating (yes, this counts)

💚 Balance over stimulation
• Magnesium for stress-gut connection
• Consistent meals
• Hydration before “shots”

Bottom line:
Gut health isn’t about pushing through discomfort.
It’s about choosing support that feels nourishing, not aggressive.

Listen to the gut.

🌿 Medicine Monday — Sleep Support
💊 Most people reach for: Melatonin or NyQuil (to force sleep instead of supporting it)

🌿 The plant-based support: Night-Time Immunity Brew OR Magnesium Night Cream
✨ Both include valerian root

🌱 Why valerian root?
Supports deep, restful sleep
Helps calm an overactive nervous system
Traditionally used for stress + nighttime relaxation

🧠 Why Valerian Root Works
What’s GABA?
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the brain’s natural calming messenger.
Think of it as the brake pedal for a busy mind.
When GABA is low, people often experience:
Racing thoughts, Trouble falling asleep, Light or restless sleep

🌱 How Valerian Root Supports GABA
Valerian root doesn’t force sleep.
It works by supporting GABA activity in the brain, which helps:
Calm nervous system signaling, Slow mental overactivity and Encourage deeper, more restorative rest

Valerian has compounds that:
Help prevent the breakdown of GABA
May support better GABA availability, allowing the brain to relax naturally
(Translation: your mind gets the memo to chill 😌)

🌙 Why That Matters for Sleep
Unlike synthetic sleep aids that sedate or override the body, valerian:
Supports the body’s own sleep signals
Helps you fall asleep naturally
Reduces nighttime restlessness without heavy grogginess for many people

⚠️ Truthful note:
Valerian root has a strong, earthy, pungent aroma (completely normal for the herb).

👉 If you’re scent-sensitive → Night-Time Immunity Brew
👉 If topical relaxation works for you → Magnesium Night Cream

Same calming plant. Different experience.

TRUTHFUL THURSDAY 🪨🌿
Hashimoto’s, Thyroids & Elderberry—Let’s Talk

Myth: Elderberry is great for everyone
Truth: If you have Hashimoto’s, it might not be your best friend 👀

🤷‍♀️Why elderberry could do more harm than good (for some people with Hashimoto’s)

• Hashimoto’s is autoimmune, not just “a slow thyroid.” The hallmark is immune antibodies and immune-cell activity attacking thyroid tissue, which can drive inflammation over time.

• Elderberry has been shown (in lab/ex vivo research) to increase certain inflammatory cytokines (immune messenger proteins). That’s part of why it’s marketed for immune support—but cytokines are also involved in autoimmune inflammation.

• Clinical proof specifically in Hashimoto’s is limited.

So instead of helping, elderberry can sometimes agitate the immune system even more, which may lead to flare-ups for some people.

🚨 This doesn’t mean elderberry is “bad.”
It just means your body needs different support.

✨ With autoimmune conditions, more “immune boosting” isn’t always better.
✨ The goal is calm, balance, and regulation.

So what CAN you use instead? 👇🏽
🌿 Stress support – because stress = inflammation
• Magnesium (especially topical)
• Nervous system calming rituals

🌿 Anti-inflammatory support
• Ginger
• Turmeric
• Omega-3 rich foods

🌿 Gut support (because gut + thyroid are besties)
• Warm teas
• Simple, nourishing foods
• Consistency over extremes

🌿 Immune balance, not immune boosting
• Rest
• Sleep
• Gentle daily support instead of “power supplements”

Bottom line:
Autoimmune wellness isn’t about pushing the immune system—it’s about calming it.

Your wellness should feel supportive, not stressful.

❌Ashwagandha isn’t for everyone—let’s talk facts, not hype.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a popular adaptogenic herb used for stress, sleep, and mood support. For some people, it can be helpful. For others… it can cause real problems. This is why S&S does not ever use Ashwagandha!!!

🚨 Important liver warning
There are documented cases of liver injury linked to ashwagandha supplements, including symptoms like jaundice (yellowing of eyes/skin), dark urine, itching, and extreme fatigue. This risk may be higher if you already have liver issues or take multiple supplements at once.

🧬 MTHFR gene mutation
There is no solid medical evidence proving ashwagandha is safe for people with MTHFR mutations, and many with methylation sensitivities report adverse reactions. If you have MTHFR, anxiety sensitivity, or detox challenges, this herb may not be a good fit without professional guidance.

Possible side effects to know before taking it👇🏽
• Drowsiness or feeling “too relaxed”
• Nausea, stomach upset, diarrhea
• Headaches
• Can interact with thyroid meds, blood pressure meds, sedatives, and immune-modulating drugs
⚠️ You should avoid or use caution if you:
• Have liver disease or elevated liver enzymes
• Are pregnant or trying to conceive
• Have thyroid conditions
• Have MTHFR mutations or are supplement-sensitive
• Take prescription medications

✨ Holistic truth: Natural doesn’t mean harmless. It means powerful—and power requires wisdom.

Always listen to your body, ask questions, do YOUR OWN research and DO NOT play into the hype!
