Blood sugar balance plays a role in energy, focus, mood, cravings, and how your body responds to stress.

Frequent spikes and crashes can leave you feeling tired, irritable, or constantly hungry, even if you’re eating “healthy.”

Supporting balance starts with regular meals, protein, fiber, and movement, not extreme restriction.

Stability supports energy.

I see this all the time as a pharmacist.

Someone is told their labs are “normal,”

but they still feel exhausted, foggy, moody, gain weight easily, or just don’t feel like themselves.

Here’s the part most people aren’t told 👇
“Normal” lab ranges are based on population averages — not what’s optimal for you.

So you can fall within the normal range and still:
• Feel chronically tired
• Struggle with weight or mood
• Have brain fog or poor sleep
• Feel stressed or inflamed

When we look deeper, symptoms often make more sense.

That’s why it’s important to go beyond basic labs and consider things like:
• Full thyroid markers (not just TSH)
• Blood sugar and insulin trends
• Stress hormones like cortisol
• S*x hormones that affect energy and mood
• Key nutrients like vitamin D, B12, magnesium, and iron

Here’s my advice 💛
If you don’t feel well, don’t ignore your symptoms just because a test says “normal.”
Your body uses symptoms to communicate — not to confuse you.

If you’re feeling stuck and want a more personalized approach,
📞 call our pharmacy to talk through your symptoms and explore a plan tailored to you.

✨ Save this if you’ve ever been told “everything looks fine” but felt otherwise.

Your hormones and mental health talk to each other.

Hormones help regulate mood, stress response, sleep, focus, and emotional resilience.
So when hormones are out of balance, it’s common to notice changes in how you feel, not just in lab numbers.

Feeling anxious, irritable, low, or foggy doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you, it means your body may be asking for support.

You may have heard this growing up:
“Don’t walk after eating, you’ll get appendicitis.”

Let’s clear that up.

There’s no evidence that walking after a meal causes appendicitis.
Appendicitis isn’t triggered by movement, it’s related to inflammation or blockage of the appendix.

In fact, light movement after eating can support digestion and help your body manage blood sugar more smoothly.

Even 10–15 minutes of relaxed walking is enough.
No power walking. No intense exercise.

Think of it as giving your metabolism a gentle nudge, not stressing your body out.

Simple habit. Smart support.

Taking supplements without understanding dose, form, timing, or interactions can lead to frustration instead of improvement.

Some supplements compete for absorption.
Others work best at specific times or with food.

Personalized guidance helps ensure supplements support your body instead of adding noise.

More isn’t always better. Smarter is.

The flu is a viral illness that spreads easily through close contact, especially during colder months when we’re indoors more often, routines are disrupted, and sleep and stress aren’t always ideal.

Common Flu Symptoms

Symptoms can vary, but often include:

Fever or chills
Body aches
Fatigue or weakness
Headache
Cough or sore throat
Congestion

Some people feel better in a few days, while others, especially older adults or those with chronic conditions, may need closer monitoring.

What Helps:

There’s no instant cure for the flu, but supportive care makes a big difference:

• Rest early. Pushing through symptoms can prolong recovery.
• Hydration matters. Fluids help support circulation and recovery.
• Nutrition counts. Simple, nourishing meals help maintain energy.
• Manage fever and discomfort as advised by your healthcare provider.
• Seek medical guidance if symptoms are severe, worsening, or persistent especially for high-risk individuals.

Early evaluation can be important for certain patients.

What You Can Do:

No method is perfect, but layered prevention helps reduce risk:

• Wash hands regularly and avoid touching your face
• Limit close contact with sick individuals when possible
• Support your immune system with sleep, hydration, balanced meals, and stress management
• Stay home when sick to protect others
• Talk to your healthcare provider about preventive options that are appropriate for you

Support your breathing and nasal passages , keeping the nose and throat clear can help reduce irritation and exposure

Gentle saline nasal sprays may help keep nasal passages moist

Warm salt-water gargles can soothe the throat and help wash away irritants

Prevention is about being informed and proactive.

A Gentle Reminder

Paying attention early and responding thoughtfully can help recovery feel more manageable.

Take care of yourself and each other this season.

Menopause is a natural stage of life, not a sign that your body is failing.�But “normal” doesn’t mean you’re supposed to suffer in silence.

If you’re navigating this season, here are a few gentle ways to support your body:

• Listen to your symptoms. Sleep issues, mood changes, hot flashes, brain fog, and low energy are signals, not something to ignore.�
• Prioritize the basics. Consistent sleep, balanced meals, regular movement, and stress support matter more than extreme routines.�
• Be open to personalization. What works for someone else may not work for you. Menopause care should be individualized.�
• Ask questions. Understanding what’s changing in your body helps you make informed choices, not fearful ones.

You’re not being dramatic.�You’re not “just getting older.”�You’re moving through a transition, and support can make it feel much more manageable.
