🔥 Chronic Inflammation After 40 – What’s Really Going On? 🔥

So many people over 40 live with symptoms of chronic inflammation, often brushed off as “just getting older.” Common symptoms include:

🧨 Achy joints & stiff muscles
🧨 Persistent fatigue
🧨 Brain fog and/or poor focus
🧨 Digestive issues (bloating, reflux, constipation, IBS, SIBO)
🧨 Skin flare-ups or rashes
🧨 Poor quality sleep or insomnia
🧨 Weight that won’t budge, especially around the middle

And here’s the kicker: many people try to fight these symptoms with anti-inflammatory medications or a long list of supplements (hello turmeric)… but still don’t feel better. Why? Because if your diet is driving inflammation, it’s like pouring gas on a fire. The meds & supplements may calm it down to a smoulder, but the constant fuel just keeps reigniting it.

The reason this matters is huge: every chronic health issue has an inflammatory component.

⚡ Autoimmune disease
⚡ Chronic pain & fibromyalgia
⚡ Anxiety, depression, ADHD
⚡ Metabolic issues and weight struggles

This is where our Metabolic Balance® personalized nutrition program shines. At Vida, our 12-week program is built on lab testing utilizing 35 biomarkers, giving you a personalized nutrition plan that directly addresses inflammation, metabolic & gut health, and much more. It’s not about guessing—it’s about eating the foods that have been matched to your unique biochemistry. To address inflammation, and promote healing & rebalancing.

The result? Restored gut and metabolic health, reduced inflammation, sustainable weight loss, and feeling great in your mind and body again. 💙

✨ If you could fast forward 12 months ahead and have a conversation with the future you, what would you want that conversation to be about?

Would you want to hear that you’re still stuck, dealing with the same chronic symptoms? Or would you love to hear how everything has transformed in the best possible way…?

The truth is, in order to bring about change, we need to embrace change. The food we eat every day is either our greatest medicine, or our slowest poison. And one thing we know with 100% confidence is that the way we eat 'most' of the time is absolutely fundamental to our health, our ability to reduce inflammation, resolve chronic symptoms, and feel good again in both mind and body.

This is what Vida's Metabolic Balance® program offers: a way of eating that is deeply personalised (based your your biochemistry), healing, and sustainable. It becomes a lifestyle you embrace.

If you’ve ever wondered about our Metabolic Balance program, but something has held you back, I encourage you to listen to this client interview. She shares her powerful journey of moving from severe health challenges (that were only worsening despite a lot of medical intervention) to experiencing noticeable improvements. Within the very first week she talks about:

✅ A marked decrease in her chronic bloating and discomfort that had become a constant part of life
✅ Increased energy and mental clarity (significant after a diagnosis of early onset dementia)
✅ For the first time in years, she actualy wanted to get out of bed, felt excited to eat breakfast, and finally felt in control of her health and wellbeing

🎧 It’s an inspiring listen, and a wonderful way to learn more about the program through a real client’s eyes.

Your breath shapes your health — are you breathing in a way that supports healing, or a way that is exacerbating your health issues?

Many people live in “fight or flight” without even realizing it — breathing too fast, too shallow, shallow via the chest, or mouth (versus the nose). Over time, dysfunctional breathing patterns fuel anxiety, sleep issues, fatigue, high blood pressure, reflux, inflammation, and so much more.

At Vida Breathworks, we use the Buteyko Breathing Method and Oxygen Advantage, blending proven, science-backed techniques with personalized naturopathic support to restore optimal breathing. When your breathing shifts, your nervous system resets — and everything from digestion to sleep to emotional resilience improves.

Our consultations are highly personalized, because your body, your breath, and your life are unique.

💡 You don’t need to stay stuck in a cycle of stress and symptoms.

Rediscover what it feels like to feel good — body, mind, and spirit.

If you’re a woman 50+ living with chronic inflammatory symptoms, low energy, weight struggles, anxiety and/or low mood — it’s easy to believe this is “just how life is now.” But the truth is, these symptoms are your body talking to you, and our bodies are always capable of healing & rebalancing when given the right supports. Treating symptoms will never bring about long term health & healing, we have to address the upstream root causes. That's where Vida Naturopathics comes in.

At Vida, we use nutrigenomics (supporting your genes through food and lifestyle) and personalized nutrition programs like Metabolic Balance to address chronic inflammation, restore gut and metabolic health; all essential in unlocking lasting healing and vitality.

Our approach is different: we don’t just hand you a plan. We walk beside you, partner with you, and tailor support to your unique needs. Many of our clients say the process feels empowering and inspiring, helping them reconnect with themselves in ways they didn’t think possible.

✨ When the fit is right, true transformation happens. ✨

Nervous System Regulation & Resilience With Vida Breathworks

Your breathing is one of the most powerful, yet overlooked, tools for nervous system regulation. If, at rest or during sleep, you're breathing faster than optimal, shallow, chest-based, or via your mouth, your nervous system will be stuck in fight/flight mode. Blocking you from deep restorative sleep, feelings of calm & clarity, healthy digestive function, and true resilience.

When breathing is dysfunctional, your body perceives constant mild threat. That means disturbed sleep, elevated stress hormones, increased or constant anxiety, impaired healing. At Vida Breathworks, Beth, our naturopath & certified Buteyko Breathing Method & Advanced Oxygen Advantage practitioner, to help restore functional breathing—quiet, diaphragmatic, nasal breathing that allows your system to shift out of overdrive. Each consultation is highly nuanced, tailored to your physiology & lifestyle, so we can support both mental and physical health from the inside out, one breath at a time.

Curious if your breathing is impacting your health & wellbeing? Let’s organize a discovery chat; it's free, no pressure, no obligation, just a chat to explore what might be going on for you, and whether our work together could help you breathe better, feel calmer, address your chronic symptoms and support your health & wellbeing.

Gut Health & Mental Health with Vida Naturopathics

Gut health is one of our key areas of expertise, because it’s absolutely foundational not just for digestion, but for mood and overall brain function. Did you know that over 90% of the body’s serotonin (our “happy hormone”) is produced in the gut, particularly by enterochromaffin cells? This plays a huge role in how we feel.

When the gut barrier becomes overly permeable (aka “leaky gut”), systemic inflammation increases. And, research indicates a 'leaky gut' goes hand-in-hand with a 'leaky blood brain barrier'. Chronic inflammation will further affect the blood-brain barrier, too—allowing inflammatory molecules into the brain and contributing to low mood, anxiety, & impaired cognitive function.

Here at Vida Naturopathics, we specialize in restoring gut health, or more specifically gut barrier integrity, and addressing dysbiosis to rebalance the microbiome & restore an internal environment that promotes balance & the body's natural healing mechanisms. We don’t just treat symptoms; we work upstream to address root causes. If you’ve been struggling with low mood, anxiety, brain fog, and/or digestive symptoms, let’s connect via a free discovery chat: https://l.bttr.to/atuT5

This is a no-pressure, no-obligation opportunity to meet Beth, ask your questions, and see if our approach feels like the right fit. Gut health is our jam, and we can not emphasize its importance in order to address symptoms and enhance your health & wellbeing.

Your Breathing Shapes Your Nervous System

Did you know that dysfunctional breathing is one of the hidden drivers of chronic anxiety & nervous system dysregulation?

When your breathing is too fast, shallow, noisy, or chest-based, your brain is constantly sending the message: “You’re not safe.” This keeps your nervous system on high alert—ready to fight, flee, or freeze. The result? Your body deprioritizes digestion, healing & restoration. And sleep is impacted: mouth breathing, snoring, or heavy breathing at night means your sleep is not deep, nor restorative, locking you into a vicious cycle.

At Vida Breathworks, we use science-backed methods like the Buteyko Breathing Method & Oxygen Advantage, alongside naturopathic principles such as gut health & inflammation support, to bring both quick symptom relief AND lasting transformation. By retraining your breathing, you give your nervous system the foundation it needs to heal—physically, mentally & emotionally.

You can do all the therapy in the world (incredibly helpful of course!), but if your breathing isn’t addressed, anxiety & low stress tolerance will persist. Functional breathing is the missing piece.

🌿 Gut Health at Vida Naturopathics 🌿

Our key specialty at Vida Naturopathics is restoring gut health—and our approach is very different from the usual. Many people come to us after trying the common “weed, seed, feed” approach (antimicrobials, probiotics, prebiotics). While this generally brings short-term relief, long-term it often leaves people stuck in the same cycle of worsening symptoms. Why? Because it doesn’t restore the ENVIRONMENT—and without restoring the upstream processes that keep your gut balanced, you’re still only treating symptoms.

At Vida, we focus on restoring the fundamentals for lasting results. We rarely (if ever) use antimicrobials, & we don’t rely on probiotics. Instead, we use nutrigenomic principles with high-quality, research-backed supplements that help your body’s natural healing and rebalancing mechanisms come back online. This is how we create lasting change.

And of course, food matters. Personalized nutrition is at the heart of everything we do. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” here—because until you get food right for the individual, true long-term health & wellbeing simply isn’t possible.

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of short-term fixes but not long-term progress, let’s connect. Book a free discovery call with Beth to learn more. No pressure, no obligation—just an honest conversation where you can get answers to your questions & feel confident about your next step.

✨ Your gut can heal. The key is restoring your internal environment. ✨

Gut health is our thing. Because without restoring it, feeling good in your body and mind is not possible. But, by focusing on the upstream, restoring your internal environment, you will feel better. If this resonates, let's chat to see if we are a great fit. If you feel like you've already tried everything, let's chat - we do things differently.
