Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrially formulated with synthetic additives, emulsifiers, and flavorings to override your natural hunger and fullness cues.

How does this happen?
🔬Dopamine surges: Ultra-processed foods are hyper-palatable - perfect blends of fat, sugar, and salt. This combo lights up your brain’s reward pathways, triggering dopamine spikes similar to addictive substances like ni****ne or alcohol.

⚡Fast absorption: These foods are broken down for rapid digestion, leading to blood sugar spikes and insulin crashes. The brain interprets this as an intense reward hit, reinforcing the compulsion to reach for more.

📉Dopamine receptor downregulation: Over time, chronic UPF intake can reduce dopamine D2 receptors - making it harder to feel satisfied. You start needing more to get the same reward, leading to compulsive eating behaviors.

🦠Gut-brain disruption: UPFs damage the microbiome, which communicates directly with your brain. This can change how full you are, fuel cravings, and even affect mood and decision-making. Gut infections can do this! If you suspect you have one, DM me "GET STARTED" and I'll send you info about my clinic!

And not everyone is affected equally. Genetics, environment, trauma, and baseline dopamine sensitivity all shape how your body responds!

If you can't stop eating ultra-processed foods... this may be why.

Think cold plunges are always good for you? Not if your nervous system is already running on fumes.

When you step into icy water, thermoreceptors in your skin send an urgent signal to your brainstem: *We’re in danger.*

Your sympathetic nervous system fires up instantly, telling your adrenal medulla to flood your bloodstream with norepinephrine which is one of your body’s main fight-or-flight chemicals.

In the short term, this spike ramps up heart rate, tightens blood vessels to preserve core temperature, and sharpens alertness so you can “escape” the cold.

For a healthy, regulated nervous system, this brief stress can be a resilience-building challenge.

But if you’re already stuck in sympathetic overdrive from chronic stress, trauma, anxiety, or burnout that extra surge keeps your system in high gear. Instead of shifting into repair mode, your body stays in survival mode… which can worsen fatigue, sleep problems, and anxiety over time.

Comment “LYMPH” below and I’ll send you my free lymph drainage mini guide.

Your lymphatic system is your body’s natural detox network.
It filters out toxins, cellular waste, and excess fluid—but unlike blood, it has no pump.
It relies on movement, hydration, and breath to keep things flowing.

When lymph becomes stagnant, toxins get trapped.
And your skin becomes the backup detox organ.

⚠️ Signs your lymph isn’t draining properly:

🚫 Recurring breakouts – Toxins pushed out through the skin
💧 Puffiness & water retention – Especially under eyes and jawline
🌫️ Dull, congested skin – Slow detox slows cell turnover
🔥 Cystic acne – Inflammation from poor waste clearance

✨ When your lymph flows freely:

âś… Waste is cleared before it hits your skin
🌟 Complexion becomes clearer and brighter
đź’¨ Puffiness fades
🛡️ Your skin barrier gets stronger

If you’ve ever noticed breakouts, puffiness, or irritation when you’re feeling sluggish…

Your lymph might be the missing link.

We’ve been taught to fear cholesterol - told it clogs arteries, causes heart attacks, and needs to be lowered at all costs. But here’s what most people don’t know: low cholesterol can be just as dangerous.

Biologically, cholesterol is not the enemy. It’s essential for survival. It's just like cortisol... we NEED IT, but at the right amount.

Your body uses cholesterol to:
🔬Build every cell membrane
🧠Insulate brain cells with myelin (protection)
🧬Make s*x hormones (estrogen, testosterone, progesterone)
🛡Regulate stress (cortisol) and fluid balance (aldosterone)
🌞Convert sunlight into vitamin D
đź’ŠCreate bile acids to absorb dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K)

When cholesterol levels drop too low, these systems suffer.

📉Multiple studies have shown associations with low cholesterol to depression, anxiety, and even increased mortality risk, especially in women. Your brain needs cholesterol to regulate neurotransmitters and form new connections.

📉Other research shows higher all-cause mortality in people with very low LDL, particularly the elderly.

Statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) work by blocking HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme your body uses to make cholesterol. But this same pathway also makes CoQ10, a compound critical for energy and mitochondrial function. That’s why statins can lead to fatigue, muscle pain, and mitochondrial stress!!

Instead of asking, “How low can we go?” We should be asking, “What does this person’s body need to function well?”

Trauma doesn’t happen in your head. It happens in your nervous system.

Safety isn’t a thought. It’s a felt sense in the body. And that’s where the real work begins.

Your brain is wired to prioritize emotional intensity over factual detail. That’s why a single moment, one look, one comment, one experience, can stick with you for years, long after the memory itself fades. You might not remember exactly what happened, but your nervous system remembers how it felt.

These emotionally charged experiences are processed through the amygdala, not the logical part of your brain. That means they get encoded as survival information, not stories. And once something is tagged as a threat, your body stays on alert - even if that moment is long gone.

This is why you might flinch at a harmless tone, shut down when you feel misunderstood, or overreact to something small. You're not reacting to the present - you're reacting to the unresolved emotional residue of the past. The original moment might be over, but your body hasn’t gotten the message yet.

The good thing is that there are supportive tools you can use: breathwork, therapy, limbic system retraining programs (Primal Trust Academy, DNRS, GUPTA), etc.

Growing evidence shows that sleep quality and duration play a HUGE role in regulating glucose metabolism and diabetes!

Even short-term sleep restriction can significantly reduce insulin sensitivity. There can be a 20% decrease in insulin sensitivity after just one week of restricted sleep. Other research has found that even a single night of partial sleep deprivation stunts glucose tolerance and reduces the acute insulin response!

When insulin sensitivity drops, the body becomes less efficient at clearing glucose from the blood. Over time, this can lead to insulin resistance, where cells stop responding effectively to insulin - raising blood sugar levels and increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Some people, like postmenopausal women, may be more susceptible to these changes, experiencing more pronounced effects on insulin resistance from sleep disruption!!

Most people don’t realize mouth breathing is a big deal. But this “small” habit can have massive consequences - for adults and kids.

When you breathe through your mouth, especially during rest or sleep, your body misses out on nitric oxide - a gas produced in the nasal passages that improves oxygen delivery, regulates blood pressure, and even supports the immune system. Without it, your tissues are under-oxygenated, your brain gets foggy, and your body stays stuck in a low-grade fight-or-flight mode.

Over time, mouth breathing also affects your facial structure. It can weaken the jawline, narrow the palate, and contribute to a longer, more collapsed facial shape. This is especially concerning for kids - - because their faces are still forming.

In children, mouth breathing can lead to:
đź’ Crooked teeth
đź’ Narrowed airways
đź’ Speech issues
đź’ Sleep-disordered breathing
đź’ A high risk of developing sleep apnea as they age

And yet, so many parents and providers miss it. They’ll treat the allergies, the behavior issues, the bad sleep - without ever addressing the airway.

Here’s the good news: it’s fixable. Nasal breathing can be retrained. Airways can be supported. Structure can improve, especially when caught early.

If your child snores, sleeps with their mouth open, or wakes up tired… If you’re feeling inflamed, exhausted, or like your face is “changing” over time… This might be the root you haven’t looked at yet.

Comment "GET STARTED" if you or your kiddo are struggling with symptoms! For mouth breathing, we suggest doing the solutions mentioned in the slides - but at times, mouth breathing is a symptom of a larger problem!

You don’t appreciate your health… until it’s gone. Until basic stuff... like waking up rested or going on a walk starts feeling impossible.

And by then? You’re not thinking about goals or “growth.” You’re just trying to feel normal again.

If your body’s been waving red flags, don’t ignore them. This is your sign to stop pushing through and start paying attention.

You deserve to feel good again.

You agree?

"Studies suggest that social support and connections, specifically communicating with female friends, can help lower cortisol levels in women.

Cortisol is often referred to as the stress hormone, and maintaining healthy levels is important for overall well-being.

Talking to someone you trust can help you process emotions and release tension, reducing stress and anxiety.

Also, the tendency for women to “tend-and-befriend” during stressful situations, seeking social support and bonding with others, is supported by research showing reduced cortisol levels after interacting with female friends.

Studies have shown that when women engage in supportive social interactions, such as talking with female friends or embracing a romantic partner, their cortisol levels tend to be lower than when dealing with stress alone or with unfamiliar individuals."

These 3 vitamins show up everywhere: in your “daily multi,” in doctor-prescribed pills, even in “clean” wellness brands.

But inside my clinic, we don’t guess. We don’t waste money. And we definitely don’t rely on poorly-made supplements that barely move the needle.

📉 If you’ve been taking supplements forever and still feel off - there’s a reason.
1) You may not need those supplements
2) You are taking the wrong ones
3) You are taking the wrong FORMS!!!

Slide through to see the 3 vitamins I’d never take and what I recommend instead.
