Stress and poor sleep don’t just leave you feeling run down.

They work together to drive inflammation that can affect your hormones, metabolism, and immune system.

When stress becomes constant, the body produces more cortisol and adrenaline. Over time, this can throw off your ability to recover, regulate blood sugar, and fight inflammation.

Sleep is one of the strongest tools your body has to restore balance. During deep sleep, your brain and immune system repair damage, clear out toxins, and reset hormone levels. Without enough rest, inflammation rises, and the cycle continues.

To start breaking the cycle:
• Aim for 7 to 9 hours of consistent, high-quality sleep
• Add gentle movement or mindfulness to lower stress
• Focus on nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory foods
• Create a calming bedtime routine that supports recovery

Small daily changes can help your body adapt, restore balance, and build resilience over time.

When testosterone dips too low, restoring balance can mean more than just feeling better — it can support long-term vitality.

What do we mean by vitality?
It’s the energy, focus, and motivation that fuel everyday life, the drive to move, think clearly, and stay connected to what matters most.

When testosterone is restored to a healthy range under guided care, many men notice improved stamina, sharper focus, steadier mood, and renewed confidence. It’s not about boosting beyond normal, it’s about helping your body function at its best.

Thinking about acupuncture during embryo transfer?

Recent research continues to explore how acupuncture supports patients through IVF. A 2025 meta-analysis found a 25% higher clinical pregnancy rate for those who received acupuncture on transfer day compared to no treatment.

As Dr. Kate Phillippi, L.Ac, explains, acupuncture helps calm both the mind and body. It increases blood flow to the uterus, relaxes uterine muscles, and supports implantation while promoting overall relaxation and ease.

While every patient’s journey is unique, many find that acupuncture helps reduce stress and create a sense of calm during a time that can feel overwhelming. If it’s easy to fit into your transfer day, it can be a supportive option. If not, a treatment before or after can still promote the same relaxation benefits.

“My top three tips for stress management are:
1. Get acupuncture.
2. Get acupuncture.
3. Most importantly, get acupuncture.”

At its most basic level, acupuncture is about improving flow, especially blood flow. When circulation is balanced, every system in the body functions more efficiently.

Headaches, menstrual cramps, and hormone imbalances can all be traced back to areas where circulation or energy flow has been disrupted. Acupuncture helps restore that balance by influencing blood flow, the fascia, and the neuromuscular system.

Dr. Lamya Kamel, https://bit.ly/3qtZjVV, Medical Director of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, shares how this perspective helps explain acupuncture’s broad benefits, from stress relief to hormonal support. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4pCq7gj

Finishing a race is only the beginning. How you recover sets the stage for your next performance.

Dr. Katherine Emrich, DC, shares her top recommendations for post-race recovery:
•A full lower-body adjustment can help restore alignment, relieve discomfort, and prevent future injuries
•Give your body 24–48 hours of active rest (walking, stretching, light movement)
•Hydration and balanced meals are essential, even if your appetite is low
•Pay close attention to your feet and knees: the areas most impacted by repetitive running
•Replace running shoes every 400 miles to protect long-term joint health.

Andropause is gradual, but its impact is wide, from energy and mood to work, relationships, and long-term health.

Research shows:
•Symptoms like fatigue, low libido, mood shifts, and brain fog are often misdiagnosed as depression, stress, or aging
•Lifestyle changes: nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management are proven to improve hormone health and should be first-line support

Don’t ignore the signs. Early action can change the trajectory of your health.

Research shows more than 80% of chronic conditions can be influenced by everyday factors we can address early.

Functional medicine is about understanding the whole picture of your body. It connects the dots between hormones, digestion, metabolism, sleep, and stress.

Instead of stopping at symptoms, it asks why they’re happening and how to shift patterns for better energy and resilience.

Whether you’re feeling well and want to maintain it, noticing new changes, or navigating persistent symptoms, functional medicine offers a way to see your health story more clearly and to take proactive steps that fit your life.

“You can’t wait until you’re 50 to start caring about your bones. Start now—I call planning early, your health retirement fund.” – Dr. Delilah Renegar, MD, DC

Bone health isn’t something to put off. What you build in your 30s and 40s directly impacts your strength, mobility, and independence later in life.

An estimated 54 million Americans already have osteoporosis or low bone mass, putting them at greater risk for fractures as they age. But with strength training, hormone checks, nutrition support, and regular screenings, you can take steps now to protect your future health.

“I knew it was the right place to be.”

When Lauren Casey came to Aligned Modern Health for pain management, her care team took the time to investigate thoroughly. Scans revealed basilar invagination, a rare condition where the top of the spine pushes into the base of the skull and compresses the brainstem.

That discovery led to the right specialists and two life saving surgeries. Today Lauren is thriving, free from the chronic pain that once defined her daily life.

Hear her story in her own words.
