🕵️‍♂️ Ever wonder if there’s one test that can actually measure how well you’re aging?

Most people don’t know this test exists—but it might be the key to living longer and staying vibrant.

Join me in downtown Frankfort, IL, as I break down the #1 longevity test most people overlook—the DNA Fragmentation Test.

This simple, non-invasive test measures the oxidative stress that damages the “clips” holding your DNA together—tiny guanosines that protect your double helix.

When those clips break, your DNA fragments, setting the stage for premature aging and age-related illnesses like inflammation, autoimmune issues, and chronic fatigue.

In this video, I explain:
✅ What the DNA fragmentation test reveals about your health and aging
✅ How oxidation, toxins, and nutrient deficiencies cause DNA damage
✅ Which nutrients—like Vitamin C, magnesium, and Vitamin E—support repair
✅ How this test can confirm your progress after lifestyle and nutrition changes

If you’re serious about living longer, stronger, and with clarity—this detective test might be your missing piece.

📍 Visit me in downtown Frankfort or call our office to learn more about your personal longevity profile.

Understanding Brain Stress: Sunlight, Time Changes, and Your Health

Ever notice how a one-hour time change can throw your whole body off balance? ⏰

Here’s why: your brain’s internal clock is synced to daylight. When sunlight patterns shift suddenly—like during Daylight Saving Time—it can stress your brain and immune system.

🌿 Why Green Matters

Green light has a calming effect on the brain through the pineal gland. It’s one reason we feel relaxed in nature (and even why elevators often feature green landscapes!).

💡 What Happens in Your Brain

Your adrenal glands release cortisol to wake you up each morning. But sudden light changes confuse this pattern, leaving you tired, moody, and more prone to illness.

🧘 Simple Fixes:
✅ Get outside daily for natural light exposure
✅ Supplement Vitamin D & Omega-3s (especially in fall/winter)
✅ Stretch, breathe, or meditate before bed
✅ Avoid caffeine after noon
✅ Keep your evening routine consistent

When your brain feels grounded, your body follows. Let’s keep your system calm, your immune defenses strong, and your mood steady this season. 🌞🍂

💬 Have you noticed your sleep or energy shift with time changes? Comment below — I’d love to hear your experience.

🔥 Stuck at the same weight — even when you’re “doing everything right”?
It’s not your willpower. It’s inflammation.

When your body is inflamed, it shifts into repair mode, not fat-burning mode — making it almost impossible to lose weight.

Here’s what most people miss 👇
✅ Your Omega & Vitamin D levels can reveal inflammation before you feel it.
✅ Food & chemical sensitivity testing shows hidden triggers.
✅ Tracking your pH confirms when your body is healing.
This isn’t about another diet — it’s about understanding what’s blocking your body from doing what it’s meant to do.
🎥 I break it all down in this short video:
Let me know if you have any questions.

As we lose daylight and head into colder months, our bodies start running low on sunlight, mood, and immune power.

But here’s something few people know: vitamin C actually helps your body absorb and activate vitamin D — a key immune hormone that keeps you from getting sick when the seasons shift.

When the time change hits on Sunday, November 2nd, your brain, sleep cycle, and immune system all take a hit. That’s why this is the perfect time to get your vitamin D levels tested and strengthen your defenses before cold season begins.

Here’s how to prepare:
✅ Pair vitamin D with vitamin C. Vitamin C protects vitamin D from breaking down and helps convert it into its active form for bone and immune health.
✅ Test your vitamin D levels. About 18% of people don’t fully absorb pill-form vitamin D — testing shows if your body’s actually using what you take.
✅ Support your gut. A healthy gut = a stronger immune system. Add a probiotic like PERQUE® Digesta Guard to keep your defenses strong.

Call the office to schedule your vitamin D test or ask how to combine your nutrients for maximum protection this season.
