Whole Health Functional Medicine

✨If you’re eating less, exercising more… and STILL not losing weight — this is for you.
Be sure to follow Eat It Whole too for more weight loss and hormones support!
💔You are not broken.
Your hormones might just be overwhelmed.

❤️‍🩹Weight loss resistance is often your body asking for balance — not punishment.
🌿 In functional medicine, we don’t just say eat less and move more.
🩺 We look at labs, stress, gut health, blood sugar, and inflammation — because your body won’t release weight if it thinks it’s under threat.
Here’s the truth….
➡️Insulin: Lab range: 2-24
Optimal: 2-6
➡️Thyroid: Optimal Free T3: 2.8-5.5
Optimal TSH: 0.5-2.5
➡️ Estrogen dominance: weight gain in thighs, heavy periods, heavy clots, weight loss resistance, swelling, inflammation
➡️ Cortisol imbalance: weight gain in the belly, waking up multiple times a night (esp around 2-3 am), heart palpitations, missing periods, severe bloating, chronically sick and inability to recover from sickness

✨ What is your gut telling you?
❤️ Some simple things to remember when it comes to gut health…
1️⃣ Roughly only 40% of the microbiome is shared with half the population, that means the other 60% of it is individualized. So what works for your friend may not work for you.
2️⃣ Healing the gut takes TIME! It is a process, we are healing and rebuilding a system! (Think about it this way…sometimes we just need to remodel a room, sometimes we have to bulldoze the house…. change takes time😉)
3️⃣ These are the items we go after when it comes to gut health, it’s not just about bacteria. We look at maldigestion, inflammation, dysbiosis, metabolic imbalances, and infection.
4️⃣ The body is a system of systems. Sometimes, by simply healing and regulating the gut, we can fix thyroid imbalances, period problems, hormone imbalances, joint pain, weight gain, fatigue and much more.

✨ Your body is constantly interpreting danger signals! Which signal 🚦is your body giving you?!
🤍 The body will often whisper before it yells. Are you listening?
😴 Sleep is critical for healing, restoring, cleansing and rejuvenating your cells, mitochondria, mind and your body. Do not ignore the signals!
Sleep Tips:
➕ Sleep in a cool, dark, room
➕ Follow the 3-2-1 rule. No food 3 hours before bed, no liquid 2 hours and no blue light 1 hour before bed
➕The adrenals recover between the hours of 10pm to 2 am. The goal is to be ASLEEP by 10pm
