A short part of a very informative presentation from Professor Susan Davidson at the University of Wisconsin on how plastics, Phthalates and PFAS are having major consequences on our health. We are facing and need to know how to navigate health challenges that our ancestors before the discovery of oil and the 20th century never knew.

Many people come to me with complaints of fatigue. There are lots of possible reasons for fatigue and we must consider all of them when searching for the root cause. However, one big one that is often overlooked is blood sugar dysregulation. Blood sugar imbalances can be of low blood sugar, high blood sugar, and swings between the two. When blood sugar tends to be high but a person is not yet diabetic, you will hear the term “Insulin Resistance.”

Insulin Resistance means there is poor glucose uptake into the cells. Insulin’s job is to help glucose enter your cells for energy. With insulin resistance, glucose stays in the bloodstream instead of getting into cells. This means that your cells are kind of “starving” for energy, even if blood sugar is high.

Insulin resistance also often causes spikes and crashes in blood sugar. These swings can lead to sudden exhaustion, brain fog, feeling shaky or weak, needing to nap after meals.
In addition, insulin resistance is associated with low-grade systemic inflammation, which by itself can cause persistent fatigue and malaise.

Yet another major issue is that Insulin Resistance has hormonal effects. For example, it’s closely linked with:
• Cortisol dysregulation (poor adrenal function)
• Thyroid function changes

These issues can make fatigue and exhaustion even worse.

Last but not least, insulin resistance impairs how efficiently cells produce energy (ATP).

If you feel any of the following:
• Feeling exhausted even after a full night’s sleep
• Heavy limbs or “can’t get going” feeling
• Brain fog or trouble concentrating
• Post-meal crashes
• Needing caffeine just to function

There are definitely natural ways to resolve this. Once it has been determined that blood sugar imbalance is an issue for you, then we look at the underlying causes; after that, we determine, based on your own body’s needs, the best way to address this imbalance. It is important to address this issue as early as possible to prevent diabetes.

In conclusion, if you have issues with fatigue and/or exhaustion, and are not sure why, let’s determine the cause and correct the imbalance.

"We don’t contain multitudes, we are multitudes. We are contained by multitudes; our microbiome, fascia, bones and marrow, brain tissue, spinal fluid, heart organ, taste buds, and more become us. We (me and you); You and I (we).

"Perhaps the most amazing part of human evolution, to me, is how these multitudes come together to create and hold the beings that we are; persons that laugh, sing, cry, hurt, and wonder at the world. That these complex systems making up our body-minds have evolved to hold memories and emotions in their living tissues.That they can sense threat, intuit next moves and intentions–not just our own but also from others around us–and are multilingual, weaving rich living stories to teach us in the form of art, poetry, mathematics, myths, and dreams.

"How can we not be in awe?"

-- From "On Being Whole" --prose by Emilie O'Brien

If you are struggling with insomnia and all the usual supports are not working, consider seeking a Functional Medicine approach!

Functional medicine looks at insomnia not as an isolated problem, but as the end result of a body that has lost its natural rhythm of repair.

Sleep doesn't simply “switch off and on” — it depends on a finely tuned orchestra of hormones, neurotransmitters, nutrients, and circadian cues.

When one instrument is out of tune, the entire symphony of sleep can unravel.

Instead of asking “How do we force sleep?”, functional medicine asks “Why is your body resisting sleep?”

This shift opens the door to exploring the underlying networks that influence rest:
• Hormonal rhythms — Cortisol and melatonin must rise and fall at the right times to keep the body aligned with day and night.
• Metabolic balance — Fluctuating blood sugar can jolt the brain awake as it scrambles to correct energy dips.
• Detoxification and repair — The liver, mitochondria, and immune system all perform deep repair work during sleep; if they're overburdened, the body may not settle into true rest.
• Neurotransmitter signaling — Chemicals like GABA and serotonin help the brain shift gears from alertness to calmness.
• Gut and nervous system health — The gut produces many of these calming messengers, while the nervous system sets the tone for whether the body feels safe enough to release into sleep.

And this is just the surface.

If you need help getting to the root causes of sleep issues, CALL or TEXT and Let's get started!
