Gratitude Changes the Brain 🧠💛

Did you know that keeping a gratitude list actually rewires your brain?
Each time you focus on what you’re thankful for, your nervous system shifts from “fight or flight” into “rest and repair.”

Neuroscience shows that consistent gratitude practice strengthens the prefrontal cortex — the part of your brain linked to joy, empathy, and resilience — while reducing activity in the amygdala, which drives fear and stress responses.

From a naturopathic view, this is one of the simplest ways to support whole-body healing. Less stress means balanced hormones, better digestion, deeper sleep, and improved immune function.

I had a powerful client visit this morning. This was a client I had worked with in the past and she is currently struggling with disordered eating. This is a topic so close to my heart. As she spoke her deep concern for her unhealthy relationship with food carried such deep roots. My first response was 90% of America deals with disordered eating.

Early in my young adult hood I struggled with Female Athlete Triad, and I have had very close relationships where disordered eating managed their life.

The disordered eating epidemic in America and the role of a naturopath…

Naturopaths help to come alongside any person and help them develop a concrete 120 day plan to create cellular change. Most naturopaths are educated to identify mental and emotional dysfunctions can point the client in the right direction for help, offer therapies and services that support healing. Can help design a meal plan to promote healing, identify nutritional deficiency and toxicity with organ systems. Hiring a naturopath is a one piece to the healing journey.

I have not posted in a while! But I am alive and well. We have had a challenging few months (more on that to come)!!

But spring is here and it is time to harvest spring “weeds” before they are gone.

Some Rules:
1. Only pick where there is not pesticides sprayed.
2. Only take 10% to preserve the crop and feed the bees.
3. If you are like me and likely will not have time to make stuff pick any way sun dry or dehydrate. If you do not use them by next spring, you can use them for animal feed!

What is truly restorative to you soul?

For me time away from the hustle of life. Not fancy extravagance, although there is a time and place for that, the sound of the waves, the clear blue sky, the sun, and the ground under my feet is a powerful reset!
