Exercise helps the body better handle stress in several different ways. During periods of high stress it is critical to schedule time to move your body!

Exercise stimulates the release of endorphins and regulates cortisol. Endorphins act to reduce pain and improve mood. Regular exercise helps your body's cortisol response to stress. If you've been considering a trendy medication or supplement to help with stress, or with cortisol levels- add exercise into your routine first.

Exercise improves sleep quality. Sleep is often poor during times of high stress- exercise helps you fall asleep and stay asleep more easily than you would otherwise. Most people want to avoid intense activity close to bedtime as it can keep you awake longer.

Exercise increases blood flow throughout the body, including to the brain! More blood flow in the brain leads to better mental clarity and processing.

Activities like yoga and tai chi emphasize the mind-body connection, promoting relaxation and stress reduction. Be sure to focus on even breathing and back off if necessary to keep a smooth flowing breath during these forms of exercise.

Exercise provides a healthy distraction from stressors, allowing you to focus on your body and movements.

Food sources of B12 are all animal based foods such as meat and dairy. Some research suggests that dairy based B12 is better absorbed than meat based B12. Regardless, most Americans consume enough B12. Even when you eat enough B12 in food, you can still be deficient. Some people do not absorb B12 well, have increased needs or are taking a medication that impacts B12 absorption. People who eat a plant based diet are often low in B12 because it is not found in plant based foods.

We can test for B12 deficiency with simple blood tests, my favorite is serum methylmalonic acid. This test is more sensitive for B12 deficiency than testing for B12- especially in patients who are using a B12 supplement but not utilizing it well in the body.

We can also give B12 shots *without* testing B12 status first if we suspect that you might have low B12 based on symptoms and/or diet. People who are low in B12 typically feel much better immediately after a B12 shot! B12 shots bypass all the absorption problems that can lead to deficiency so they are often the treatment of choice for people who eat animal foods but still have symptoms and/or low levels in their labs.

Dr Katrina offers B12 shots at Tribal Admin on Fridays, give us a call to find out where and get scheduled. 253-392-2400

Sweating is a very effective way of stimulating release of toxins from the body through the skin. A sweat lodge or sauna is an excellent way to do so, however, any activity that leads to increased sweating will release toxins from the body in your sweat.

For best results, rinse off afterwards to ensure that all unwanted substances aren't reabsorbed through your skin and drink plenty of water with electrolytes before, during, and after your session.

Another helpful and gentle way to stimulate detox is supporting liver health by avoiding alcohol and unnecessary drugs, drinking plenty of water, eating root vegetables and taking liver supportive herbs and nutrients.

I frequently see people touting certain vegetables as "healthier" than others- which I disagree with. Let's not be choosy about vegetables!

All vegetables are worthwhile additions to your diet. Rather than focus on a few "ideal" veggies, focus on eating as many different ones as reasonable, and build up your repertoire of favorites by trying new veggies, or veggies cooked in different ways. Try to incorporate different colors as the colors dictate different nutrients in the veggie such as the bright yellow/orange color of carotenoids that give your body vitamin A. Summer is the perfect season to up your veggie intake and to try something new from a local farm. Local fresh vegetables often taste the best because they are picked at the peak of freshness and don't spend much time travelling to your plate.

I used to be a really picky eater as a kid. To get over my "pickiness" I chose a new veggie or two every year at New Year's to learn to like. I tried my Veggie Of The Year whenever I could- a bite off my friend's plate at a restaurant, cooked or raw, fresh or frozen. Over time I have gone from only enjoying a few veggies to enjoying everything but eggplant and okra!

Sometimes trouble sleeping is related to how your brain functions.

Have you trained your brain that it's OK to lay awake in bed for hours?
Have you trained your brain that you want to avoid going to bed?
Have you trained your brain to worry about every little sound you hear at night?

Whether your challenge is one of these 3, all 3, or something completely different, Neurofeedback can help!

Neurofeedback is an innovative therapy that helps CHANGE YOUR BRAIN so it functions better. This can make it easier to make changes in how you think, how you behave and how you sleep!

Like all forms of training, Neurofeedback does require repetition so we recommend weekly appointment. We're happy to help discuss your goals and create a plan for you.

You've heard that fish is healthy for you, but do you know why? And what's up with all these fish oil supplements? How much should you take?

Our doc and resident nutrition expert Dr Eon saves the day with this post explaining why you need omega 3 in your body, how to get it from food, and why you (probably) need an omega 3 supplement for optimal health.

You've likely heard the term "autism spectrum" however that concept doesn't explain reality best. We should strive to think of what symptoms a person experiences, and how much these symptoms impact their life.

I love nuts!

Nuts and seeds are a delicious nutrient dense food packed with fiber, protein, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. As excellent sources of healthy fats, they are also calorie rich.

Here's a brief tour of a few nut options to consider including in your diet. I love to add a tablespoon of h**p seeds or walnuts to a salad, create a quick "dessert" with a couple tablespoons of nuts or seeds and fruit, make a delicious seasonal nettle pesto with any nut or seed I have on hand. The possibilities are truly endless.

If you are watching calorie intake, be sure to accurately measure your nut intake as it is easy to end up with more than you have in your calorie budget.

Did you know that medications can worsen or even cause seasonal allergy like symptoms?

Check this list to see if this situation might be yours!

If your seasonal allergies are running wild and your current treatment plan isn't keeping them in check take a look at this list of foods to see if you've been eating high histamine foods. Some of these foods are naturally fermented and although they are amazing for gut health, they may also stoke the fire of allergies!

It's the ideal time of the year to harvest nettles. I ate nettle/sunflower seed pesto on toast for breakfast today!

Besides being a delicious and nutritious seasonal food, nettles are also helpful for allergies. If you don't harvest them yourself, it is best to buy them in a powdered or freeze dried form. Some of my favorite allergy supplements include freeze dried nettles.
