I love mind body spirit. Some get stuck in body focus, some in spirit focus, some in mind focus. They all interact. We rarely talk about how it relates to behavior! Why we do what we do, say what we say, react the way we react....

💡Inspired by Russ Harris' ACT Made Simple 2nd edition. As a visual learner, I wanted to remember the concepts from the book, so I put them into a kind of ‘Where’s Waldo?’ visual summary. Though in this case, there’s no Waldo, just lots of great ACT concepts and metaphors💖💖💖

Ever notice how pain and inflammation has a delay? In exercise we call it the DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). When you stress a muscle or nervous system, there's actually a suppression of immune and then the fire comes in to clean up damages to tissue when there's rest. The fire is the clean up phase. Chronic stress can send you into chronic phases of breakdown with less recovery for clean up. Chronic stress causes the cells to misfire because metabolic rebalance is disrupted. Antioxidants are used up faster and nutrient depletion happens. So does hormone depletion. This effects all systems especially brain/nerve, hormone, gut, heart, liver, kidney, muscle, etc.

One day you wake up and just ask what self pay is vs insurance and your brain explodes. Insurance isn't just cost for service. It's pbm's (middle man), contracts and share holders. This is something I learned as a sole proprietor single owned business being charged $375k per month for self with a 10k deductible. Add a kid, $450/ mos. I remember a bill for a vag check at 300k. Non insurance $125. Guess what I did? Self pay all the way. Lolz. Tricks

When someone says, "eat anti inflammatory", it usually means you should be eating for your individual immune responses to food and chemicals, microbiome, nutrient needs, detox ability, etc. Imagine someone telling you to eat eggs when they give you diarrhea? Or bananas that you're having histamine reactions to? Or red meat that causes poor digestion? Or nuts that give you joint pain? Or dairy that makes you bloat and have loose stools and acne? Fish that make you full blown anaphylactic? Pickles that flare your histamine? The list can be long, so individualization is key, but so is analysis. What if you could gain more food freedom by healing the terrain? Labs my friends, functional labs. Get those HSA's cranking.

A major study involving 3,602 women struggling with infertility due to PCOS (Polycystic O***y Syndrome) has revealed promising results: about 7 out of 10 women began ovulating again within 10 weeks after taking myo-inositol (4 grams per day) combined with folic acid.

PCOS is a leading cause of ovulatory infertility, marked by hormonal imbalances that disrupt the menstrual cycle and prevent the release of eggs. Standard treatments often involve medications with side effects, but this research highlights a natural and well-tolerated alternative.

Myo-inositol, a vitamin-like compound found in fruits, beans, and grains, plays a critical role in insulin signaling and hormone regulation. When paired with folic acid, it supports metabolic and reproductive function, helping to restore hormonal balance and promote regular ovulation.

In this large-scale clinical study, participants were given 4 grams of myo-inositol daily along with folic acid. Within approximately 10 weeks, over 70% of women showed restored ovulation, many also reporting improved menstrual regularity and reduced symptoms of insulin resistance.

This approach is particularly encouraging because it is non-invasive, accessible, and affordable, making it a potential first-line intervention for women with PCOS-related infertility. Doctors are now recommending it as a safe, evidence-backed supplement to complement lifestyle changes or fertility treatments.

These findings may empower women with PCOS to take more control over their fertility through simple nutritional support, potentially reducing the need for stronger interventions.

Sometimes, the most powerful solutions come from within nature—and science is learning how to use them better than ever.

Grief is a transition in time. A loss of a person place or thing. The nervous system goes into hyper then hypo response. This can lead to loss of appetite, but also "stress eating" tendencies. It's not something you have control over, but it is temporary based on how you process emotions. Take time. Your gut is listening.

Unfortunately we live in a society that expects you to pull those boot straps up. Not good for emotional processing as humans. Deprogramming... this idea takes practice. Seek counseling because there's nothing more amazing than talking to someone that can help you unload that isn't a judgey friend or family member that wants to fix it. The counselor helps you fix it all on your own in your own time. Do it ❤️
