🚨 A Common (and Overlooked) Issue We’re Seeing Lately: Symptoms in line with Macrocytic Anemia 🚨🤯

Do you struggle with fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest? Brain fog? Pins and needles in your hands or feet? Feeling “off,” but your labs look “normal”? Or maybe just a few numbers are slightly elevated but you’re told it is “not related”.

You might be dealing with something similar to macrocytic anemia—a condition where your red blood cells are too large to work efficiently, often due to underlying nutrient deficiencies.

We’re seeing more of this lately in office, and it can cause some really strange, sneaky symptoms, such as:
👉 Fatigue or weakness (even with plenty of sleep)
👉 Numbness or tingling in hands and feet
👉 Lightheadedness or low tolerance to standing
👉 Shortness of breath on minimal exertion
👉 Memory trouble, mood swings, or anxiety
👉 Pale skin, or an “unwell” feeling that’s hard to describe
👉 Cracked tongue or sore mouth (but no infection present)
👉 Low iron with high MCV (mean corpuscular volume)

⸻

🧠 From a functional perspective, macrocytic anemia isn’t just about low blood counts—it’s a sign the body is having trouble with methylation, gut absorption, or toxin clearance.

These red flags tell us the body is starving at the cellular level—even if you eat well.

⸻

🔍 The most common root causes we find are:
• Low vitamin B12 (especially in specialty diets, chronic diets, or low stomach acid)
• Low folate (due to stress, MTHFR mutations, or gut issues)
• Hypothyroidism (often undiagnosed or undertreated)
• Liver congestion or toxin overload
• Alcohol or medication-induced stress on the bone marrow
• Malabsorption issues (celiac, SIBO, gut inflammation)

⸻

✅ The good news? It’s fixable.
Once we identify the cause, we can support the body through targeted nutrition, detox pathways, gut healing, and better cellular energy production.

If this sounds like you—or someone you love—we’d love to help uncover the root cause. ✨

It’s Friday night…FINALLY👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So, here’s what we want to talk about on Friday night….
…..𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 😬

𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗵, 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀.
The weird ones. The ones you don’t want to talk about. The ones you think no one would understand.

You know…
• The random pain that moves around your body.
• The stomach knots that hit out of nowhere.
• The brain fog that makes you feel like a stranger in your own head.
• The intense cravings, the rashes, the “something’s off” that doesn’t show up on labs.
• The stuff you’ve been told is “all in your head.”
• The “private” relationship type stuff, ya know.

𝗪𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁.

Your symptoms aren’t random, and they aren’t meaningless. They do matter! They’re your body’s way of asking for help.

Even if you’ve been told it’s a common symptom, given a diagnosis, but something still feels unsure…we want to help you find out why.

At Juniper Tree, if it’s not common we have probably heard it, seen it, and already geeked out on like-minded case studies about it! 😂 Every piece matters, and only you know the most valuable pieces to the puzzle. We look for the root cause—not just a temporary cover-up, so let’s hear it!

⸻

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺?
If you’ve got one (or 20), we’re here to listen.

🌀 That autoimmune diagnosis isn’t a life sentence.

Monday is here, and apparently so is a wave of sniffles and crud! There is a little of this and that going around and it’s been a weekend filled with messages asking what’s best to combat the cough and congestion.

One handy thing families often forget they have in their closet is a nebulizer! Although we don’t use it for traditional prescriptions anymore, we often use ours for the products that we know are safe to be inhaled!

Here is what we have been doing in our nebulizer this weekend to move the crud!

Are there remedies you’re needing help with?

Truth.

𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 — 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆’𝘀 𝗨𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗼 🧠💪🫀

If your body had a 24/7 housekeeping crew, the 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 would be the boss.

It’s the second largest organ in your body and yet most people don’t give it a second thought… even when it starts waving red flags.

So what does the liver really do?

🔹 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 — From toxins to medications to alcohol to processed junk… your liver sorts through it all.
🔹 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿 — helping prevent crashes, brain fog, and that hangry spiral.
🔹 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 — estrogen, cortisol, and more. If your hormones feel “off,” your liver may be calling for help.
🔹 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲 — which is essential for breaking down fats and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins (like A, D, E, K).
🔹 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 — the liver stores and releases glucose to help you power through the day.
🔹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗱𝘀, 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘀 — building blocks of every system in your body.
🔹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲 (𝗧𝟰) 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝟯 — meaning if your liver isn’t supported, your thyroid won’t be either. (Hmmm maybe your thyroid wasn’t even the problem after all!)

⸻

When your liver is overworked, sluggish, or congested, symptoms show up in all sorts of ways:

• Low energy
• Brain fog
• Skin issues (acne, eczema)
• PMS or hormone imbalances
• Bloating or slow digestion
• Allergies or histamine intolerance
• Trouble losing weight
• Irritability or mood swings
• Cold hands/feet or slow metabolism

⸻

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘂𝗽 — 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀, 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆.

If you’re working on healing from chronic illness, hormone issues, or just feeling “off” and you want to start slow— start by loving your liver. 🌿 Let us help you do it right, with the right stuff that works for your body. No more waste 🗑️

𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆: 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🌾🐑🐴

After a week full of 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝗺𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻’, 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲-𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘀, the girls needed some serious 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 while Mom got caught up on office work — and thankfully, we’ve got just the place!

✨ 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 — perfect for helping her body push through that fair week 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! Salt therapy supports the lungs, loosens mucus, reduces inflammation, and helps the immune system bounce back. Anybody else wake up with the post fair gunk?

💡 𝗔𝗢 𝗡𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗸 — used over the 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 and 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, this red light technology helps reduce inflammation, speed healing, and regulate the nervous system.

⚡ 𝗣𝗘𝗠𝗙 (𝗔𝗢 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝘁) — for sore legs, achy backs, and tired feet. PEMF helps 𝗿𝗲-𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀, promote muscle recovery, and reduce pain after intense physical activity (like relay races in the sand!).

🦶🏻 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗼𝘅 — after all those on-the-go snacks and fair food (concession biscuits and gravy IYKYK), a good ionic detox helps pull out what doesn’t serve her body and get things back on track.

➡️ These services aren’t just for adults! 𝗪𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆. Whether it’s fair recovery, immune support, or just some downtime for your littles — we’ve got you covered.

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗽… 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 “𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹” 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.
Ever been there?

✅ Exhausted
✅ Joint pain or brain fog
✅ Gut issues that come and go
✅ Weird, migrating symptoms no one can explain
✅ Mood swings, rashes, nerve pain, low-grade fevers…

And your blood work comes back “fine.”

𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿: 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘀.
These are bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that hide deep in tissues, often evading immune detection and staying below the radar of standard lab tests.

They don’t just show up in a CBC.
They suppress, disrupt, and confuse the immune system.
They cause chronic, low-grade inflammation that slowly drains your energy, resilience, and clarity.

Stealth pathogens are masters of disguise—
and often at the root of conditions like:
🦠 Chronic fatigue
🦠 Hormonal imbalances
🦠 Autoimmune flare-ups
🦠 Neurological symptoms
🦠 Mood + mental health shifts
🦠 Gut dysfunction

𝗥𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗯 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁.
We use energetic scanning with denatured DNA of these critters, symptom patterns, and holistic context to find what’s hiding underneath.

Honestly, pathogens and bugs are our sweet spot here at Juniper Tree. They can hide, but we know all their tricks. We also know that one thing, is never one thing!

Your labs might look fine—but how do you feel?
That’s the real data.

📲 Message us if this sounds like your story. We can help uncover what’s been missed.
