A major global review just confirmed what many of us suspect: over 75% of people worldwide get far less of the omega-3 fats (EPA & DHA) than experts recommend.

EPA and DHA are key for heart health, brain function, inflammation regulation, immune balance, and healthy metabolism. For many people, especially those who don’t regularly eat fatty fish, diet alone isn’t enough to hit healthy omega-3 levels.

If you feel stuck in your health with low energy, brain fog, mood ups and downs, inflammation, or metabolic sluggishness, insufficient omega-3 intake might be a hidden factor.
Consider adding sustainably sourced EPA/DHA (or eating more oily fish, when appropriate) to support long-term health across nervous system, heart, metabolism & immune function.

If you experience brain fog, forgetfulness, or mental fatigue during the second half of your cycle, it’s likely tied to your hormones... not just stress or “mom brain.”

Right after ovulation, estrogen drops and progesterone rises. While progesterone is calming, it can also slow cognition when it's not well balanced. This is especially true if there’s inflammation or adrenal dysfunction in the picture.

Supporting progesterone naturally and reducing inflammation can dramatically improve mental clarity and reduce that “wired but tired” feeling.

Colds, flares, and crashes don’t happen randomly. They’re the result of load + threshold.

When your body hits its limit from poor sleep, processed food, unprocessed emotions, or silent infections… the immune system sends a message.

Symptoms are that message.

Instead of suppressing the symptom, let's ask:
🧭 What filled the stress bucket?
🧰 What can we remove to lower the load?

This is how we stop treating sickness as “bad luck” and start seeing it as intelligent feedback.

Your symptoms are messengers. Let’s decode them together. Book your consult and get matched with the right labs, tools, and support.

Yes, hormone shifts can change how and where your body stores fat, especially around the midsection. But that does not mean the scale is out of your control or that your metabolism is “broken.”

What truly supports your body in midlife:
• Protecting and rebuilding muscle
• Eating enough protein + fiber to stabilize blood sugar
• Prioritizing deep, consistent sleep
• Supporting stress + cortisol balance
• Nourishing hormones through daily habits, not extremes

Menopause changes the landscape, but it doesn’t remove your power. Once you understand what’s happening in your body, you can shift your strategy and feel more aligned, not defeated.

✨ If this feels like the support you’ve been missing, reach out, you don’t have to navigate this chapter alone.

Statins are widely used to lower cholesterol and support heart health, but they can also deplete important nutrients. A review in Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology found that statins may lower:

• CoQ10 — vital for energy + heart muscle function
• Vitamin D — supports bones, immunity, and cardiovascular health
• Vitamins A, E, and K — key for antioxidant protection, vision, and clotting

Why does this matter? Low CoQ10 may contribute to muscle aches and fatigue and long-term depletion of vitamins D, A, E, or K can affect overall health over time.

Supporting your body while on statins involves talking with your provider about CoQ10, including foods rich in vitamin D and fat-soluble vitamins, and periodic blood work to check nutrient levels.

So many people carry stories, symptoms, and concerns that never get voiced simply because no one asked the right question.
Sometimes the most important part of your health isn’t a lab result...it’s your lived experience.

What question do you wish someone in healthcare would actually ask you - the one that would make you feel seen, heard, and understood?

Medical anxiety is real. It's is your nervous system remembering past experiences where you felt dismissed, rushed, confused, or not fully heard. When that memory gets triggered, your body shifts into protection mode. It automatically prepares for the worst-case scenario to protect you.

Here are 3 simple ways to ease that response and calm anxiety before a consult or procedure:

1️⃣ Breathe: Before you enter the building A slow inhale + long exhale helps signal safety to your nervous system.

2️⃣ Bring notes: Write down symptoms, questions, or concerns so your brain doesn’t have to hold everything under stress.

3️⃣ Ground your senses: Notice 3 things you see, 2 things you can touch, 1 thing you can hear. This pulls you out of anxiety and into the present.

Not all magnesium works the same and choosing the right form can make a huge difference depending on your goals. Here’s the quick breakdown of these two forms:

✨ Magnesium Glycinate: Think of glycinate as your relax + restore magnesium.

Best for: sleep, stress, anxiety, muscle tension
Benefits include:
• Highly absorbable
• Gentle on the stomach
• Calming effect on the nervous system
• Great for people who run “tense,” wired, or struggle winding down

⚡ Magnesium Citrate: Citrate is your go-to when digestion needs a little help moving along.

Best for: constipation, sluggish digestion
Benefits:
• Draws water into the intestines
• Helps promote regular bowel movements
• Still supports muscles, but less calming than glycinate

As always, speak with your healthcare provider for accurate dosing and recommendations tailored to you.

Metabolic health isn’t just about calories, workouts, or willpower. It’s about how well your systems are working beneath the surface.

Your metabolism is influenced by:
• Stress hormones that can slow metabolic signaling
• Blood sugar regulation that affects energy, cravings, and fat storage
• Sleep quality that determines how your body repairs and responds
• Inflammation that interferes with mitochondrial function
• Gut health that impacts nutrient absorption and metabolic communication

When even one of these areas is out of balance, you can feel it, no matter how “healthy” your habits look from the outside.

This is why so many people are told “everything is fine,” yet still deal with fatigue, weight changes, mood shifts, crashes, and a metabolism that feels stuck. Traditional models often look at single numbers, not interconnected systems.

✨ If you’re tired of being told “everything looks fine,” it’s time for a new approach. Schedule your session and get answers — not just bandaids.
