FEELING BLOATED OR DRAINED AFTER EATING?

Your gut is central to more than digestion—it impacts nutrient absorption, immune defense, and even brain health.

When bloating, gas, or discomfort show up regularly, it’s often a sign of deeper imbalances like low stomach acid, enzyme deficiency, or microbiome disruption.

By identifying and addressing these issues, we can support healthier digestion and overall well-being.

FREQUENTLY CATCHING COLDS OR TAKING LONG TO RECOVER?

Your immune system may be under strain. Beyond germs, daily stress, poor sleep, and nutritional gaps can quietly weaken your body’s natural defenses.

Instead of only treating symptoms, we look at what’s draining your immunity—like gut health, adrenal balance, and micronutrient status—and support your system from the ground up.

Consistency matters more than intensity.

Even short walks, light strength exercises, or stretching can support your overall well-being. Focus on movement that you enjoy, and let it complement your nutrition, sleep, and stress management routines.

Struggling with restless nights or waking up at 3 AM and can’t get back to sleep?

It may not just be stress—it could be cortisol imbalance. As The Five Pillars of Health explains, cortisol is your body’s main stress hormone. When it stays elevated at night, it keeps your brain and body on “high alert,” even when you want to rest.

Over time, poor sleep can:

Disrupt thyroid and s*x hormones

Slow metabolism and energy

Increase cravings for sugar and caffeine

Lower immune defenses

💡 The good news? Identifying your stress triggers, balancing cortisol naturally, and practicing good sleep hygiene can help your body reset its rhythm—so you can finally feel rested again.

Feeling “off” lately—low energy, brain fog, or sudden mood swings?

It might not just be stress or a rough week. Your hormones could be out of balance. As The Five Pillars of Health explains, hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol work together to keep your energy, mood, metabolism, and sleep in sync.

🧠 When they fall out of balance, you may notice:

Unexplained fatigue

Mood changes or irritability

Trouble focusing or sleeping

Slower metabolism and stubborn weight gain

💡 Instead of guessing, functional lab testing can help uncover where your levels stand—and what your body actually needs. Balanced hormones can mean better energy, better focus, and better days.

Exercising regularly but still tired, inflamed, or not seeing results?

It might not be your effort—it might be your strategy.

The Five Pillars of Health explains how overtraining without proper recovery can:

Raise inflammation levels

Deplete magnesium and other key minerals

Disrupt hormones like cortisol and testosterone

Lead to plateaus, burnout, or even injury

Exercise should energize you, not drain you.

✅ A better approach? Prioritizing balance:

Resistance training over endless cardio

Supporting recovery with key nutrients

Monitoring stress and inflammation levels

Personalizing your routine to match your body’s needs

The right plan doesn’t just help you move—it helps you thrive.

Feeling great in the morning but crashing hard by 3 PM?

You’re not alone, and unstable blood sugar might be the reason. Even healthy meals high in carbs can cause your glucose to spike and then plummet. That sudden crash leaves you tired, irritable, and craving caffeine or sugar to keep going. Over time, these daily dips can take a toll on your mood, metabolism, and adrenal function, leading to even more fatigue and imbalance. The good news? You don’t have to guess. Balanced nutrition, stress support, and identifying hidden triggers like insulin resistance or nutrient deficiencies can make a big difference.

Struggling with mood swings, anxiety, or brain fog? Your gut might be the missing link.
Did you know that nearly 90% of serotonin—your body’s natural mood stabilizer—is produced in the gut? An imbalanced gut microbiome can silently trigger emotional distress, depression, and mental fatigue. At Shioma Wellness, Dr. Phyllis Okereke, M.D., uses a functional medicine approach to identify and treat the root causes of gut-related issues such as inflammation, leaky gut, food sensitivities, and dysbiosis.

By healing your gut, you’re not just improving digestion—you’re supporting your mental clarity, emotional balance, and total wellness.

STRESSED & CAN’T SLEEP?

Tossing and turning at night? Waking up tired even after a full night's rest? Chronic stress may be the hidden cause. Elevated cortisol—the body’s stress hormone—can throw off your sleep-wake cycle, leading to insomnia, restlessness, and fatigue.

But the solution isn’t just sleeping pills or better sleep hygiene. In Functional Medicine, we dig deeper: adrenal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies (like magnesium), and nervous system dysfunction all contribute to poor sleep.

REAL RELIEF COMES FROM RESTORING BALANCE— by supporting your stress response, calming inflammation, and nourishing your body naturally.
