🌙 Better Sleep, Brighter Mornings — and Early Black Friday Access!

Blue light from screens and indoor lighting after sunset can disrupt your circadian rhythm, lower melatonin, and affect hormones like cortisol, thyroid, and insulin — making sleep, energy, and recovery harder.

That’s why we love VivaRays Blue Light Glasses — designed with circadian science to help your body sync naturally with day and night.

✨ Exclusive for our patients:
Sign up Nov 6–12 for early Black Friday access + 25% off (before the public sale starts).

Mitochondria are small structures found within our cells that are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell. They play a crucial role in producing energy for the cell in the form of a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Now, let's talk about chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are long-term conditions that often progress slowly and can persist for years or even a lifetime. Examples of chronic diseases include heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease.

So, how are mitochondria and chronic diseases related?

Well, research has shown that dysfunction in mitochondria can contribute to the development or progression of chronic diseases. When mitochondria don't function properly, they can't generate enough energy for the cell to carry out its normal functions. This can affect various tissues and organs throughout the body, leading to a range of health problems.

Are you someone who feels you are struggling with optimal hormone function?

Here are the top 6 reasons we see as the root cause for hormone disruption.
👉 too much stress!! Yes, folks, this is a number one cause in our book
👉 poor gut health/nutrition. This could be poor eating habits, lack of nutrient absorption, low protein consumption, low fat intake, leaky gut or intestinal permeability, etc.
👉 low thyroid hormone output. T3 hormone specifically is a precursor to hormone production. Is you don’t have enough T3 you cannot make hormones. Big root cause right there.
👉 toxic exposures. There are lots of toxic chemical compounds out there that are artificial hormones, they look different but act similarly to biological estrogen…estrogen activity overload!! Throws off the hormone balance.
👉 heavy exercise can reduce hormone production and function in the body. It can lead to a caloric deficit and fat reduction which in turn throws off hormone health. We want to find the best balance for you and your body.

We offer a FREE 20 min call to anyone who is new to us. If you’d like to talk more about hormone health, click the link in our bio to schedule your call today!

This list could go on and on…

Here are the 5 most common hormone imbalances:
👉 estrogen dominance (estrogen > progesterone)
👉 luteal phase dysfunction (low estrogen, low progesterone, short luteal phase)
👉 fluctuations in hormones (changes in hormone levels, ie menopause)
👉 hormonal insufficiency (low hormone all around, low production)
👉 suboptimal hormone metabolism (poor hormone metabolism/detoxification).

Symptoms of these conditions vary. Think you may have disrupted hormones? Book a complimentary 20-minute phone call with us and let’s talk about it!

When I patient tells us they have numerous symptoms throughout their body, examples above👆, the first thing that jumps to mind is INFLAMMATION.

The body is not just taking anymore, it’s yelling that it needs some help.

Functional Medicine specialists, like ourselves, are often thought if as “inflammologists”…we look for inflammatory symptoms and causes to uncover and address the “why”.
