Chronic inflammation thrives where stress, nervous system dysregulation, and gut disruption intersect. Healing at the root means supporting stress hormone balance, nervous system regulation, and the gut-brain connection together.

True healing requires:
- Nervous system regulation (rest + parasympathetic activation)
- Targeted nutrition for stress + inflammation
- Trauma-aware support that doesn’t retraumatize the body
- Gut-brain axis care that calms both digestion and mood

When we address the mind and body together, healing becomes possible.

Flax seeds are one of my go-to foods for gentle hormone support, especially for estrogen balance. They contain plant compounds (lignans) that help modulate estrogen, meaning they can support levels when estrogen is low, and help buffer excess when it’s high.

This makes flax especially supportive for symptoms like PMS, irregular cycles, estrogen dominance, and even perimenopause transitions.

How I recommend using them:
• 1–2 tablespoons ground flax daily (whole seeds won’t absorb well)
• Add to smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, or sprinkle over salads

Hormone-Balancing Flax Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 frozen banana
1 handful of spinach
1–2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
Optional: scoop of protein powder or spoon of almond butter

Instructions:
Blend until smooth and creamy. Enjoy as a nourishing breakfast or mid-day snack that supports hormone balance and steady energy.

Dysregulated stress hormones, especially cortisol, can create inflammation that fuels fatigue, sleep disruption, immune confusion, and chronic symptoms. Viewing stress as a root influencer shifts how we heal. We’re taught to treat symptoms in isolation, but if we don’t calm stress hormones, the body never moves out of defense mode.

From a functional nutrition lens, grief can disrupt the nervous system, hormones, digestion, sleep, and immunity. Fatigue, anxiety, gut issues, or inflammation after loss aren’t a personal failure; they’re a biological stress response.

Healing isn’t linear. It begins with nourishment, nervous system support, stable blood sugar, and compassion for what the body is carrying.

Your body isn’t broken. It’s responding, and it deserves care. Learn more about my background with grief and the RESTORE protocol I developed to help others: https://jesssorci.com/grief-and-loss/

When clients have been told for years that “nothing is wrong,” I take that as a sign to look deeper. Cherish’s experience shows what’s possible when symptoms are taken seriously and supported with a clear, functional plan. Feeling better isn’t about time; it’s about understanding what your body needs.

A standard TSH or T4 test only captures part of the thyroid picture. Thyroid health is a systems issue, involving the brain (pituitary), thyroid gland, liver, gut, immune function, and nutrient status. When we rely on a single marker, we often miss the patterns that explain how someone actually feels.

A more complete thyroid evaluation includes TSH, free and total T3 and T4, reverse T3, thyroid antibodies (TPO, TgAb), and thyroid-binding globulin (TBG).

Functional nutrition examines the full picture so that symptoms can be understood, not dismissed.

Healing is a process, not a checklist. My RESTORE Protocol™ is a structured, root-cause framework that pairs functional lab insights with personalized care so you can truly understand why your symptoms are happening and what your body needs to heal.

This protocol helps you:
- Record your full health story (because your history matters)
- Examine hidden imbalances with functional labs
- Strategize a personalized care plan that fits YOUR life
- Transform through ongoing support and coaching
- Optimize mindset and stress resilience
- Rebalance with thoughtful evaluation
- Empower long-term health confidence

Hormones are built from fat, and avocado is one of my favorite whole-food sources of the healthy fats your body needs to produce s*x hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

When fat intake is too low (or quality is poor), hormone production can suffer. Avocados provide monounsaturated fats that support hormone synthesis, blood sugar stability, brain health, and inflammation balance, all essential for hormonal resilience.

Enjoy avocados daily:
• Add to smoothies
• Spread on toast
• In salads or bowls

Here’s a simple delicious and nutritious avocado toast recipe!

Ingredients:
• Toasted sourdough or gluten-free bread
• ½ ripe avocado, mashed
• 1–2 tablespoons sauerkraut
• 1 tablespoon h**p seeds
• Optional: olive oil drizzle, sea salt, lemon

Why it works:
Healthy fats + fiber + probiotics = hormone and gut support in one simple meal.

Chronic illness is complex. It’s your body responding to multiple, overlapping factors. Healing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

Start with one simple step this week: pay close attention to your body. Track symptoms, sleep, stress, energy, or one possible trigger, or write a brief timeline of when your symptoms began and what was happening in your life.

Small observations can bring clarity. And clarity is often the first step toward healing. When you’re ready, I’m here to listen and help.

Ever notice your stomach flip before a big moment… or brain fog after a meal? That’s your gut-brain connection at work. Your gut isn’t just about digestion; it’s a communication hub with your brain that influences mood, energy, immunity, and even anxiety or depression. Imbalances in gut microbes can affect inflammation, neurotransmitters like serotonin, and how your body responds to stress.

What is your gut telling you?

Earlier this week I shared that exercise is non-negotiable for my health and wellness. Today, I want to talk about my second non-negotiable: my morning spiritual development.

This isn't about perfection or "having it all together"—believe me, I do not have everything together :). It's about starting my day intentionally—whether that's meditation, prayer, journaling, reflection, or whatever form of spiritual connection resonates with me. I protect this time like I protect my workouts.

And here's what I've noticed since committing to this practice: I've become more grounded. The noise and chaos of life doesn't shake me the way it used to. I'm more present with the people I care about. I'm more patient with myself and others. I've become more compassionate, not just toward others but toward myself too.

My nervous system has actually shifted. I feel calmer. More regulated. Those moments of stress or overwhelm don't send me into a tailspin anymore—I have a foundation to return to.

What amazes me is how consistency in one area of our lives ripples into everything else. This practice isn't separate from my workouts or my work or my relationships—it's the thread that holds it all together.

Right now, I'm devouring Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now"—it's been such a game-changer for deepening this practice. I also am in a spiritual formation group, which has been instrumental in keeping me accountable and connected.

Are you interested in adding a spiritual practice to your non-negotiables? If so, I'm happy to guide you. 🙏
