If you or someone you know experiences Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), you know how the summer heat can negatively impact daily life. Often leading to intense periods of flushing, headaches, and GI cramps.

☀️ Overheating can cause your skin’s blood vessels to widen and release histamine, leaving it red, warm, and uncomfortable.
☀️ If you sweat heavily and lose fluids, your blood pressure can drop, leaving you feeling dizzy or faint.
☀️ During those hot summer days, if you overheat, it can trigger nerve-driven inflammation, causing pounding headaches, eye pressure, and mental fog.
☀️ When you get too hot, digestion slows and your gut reacts, causing cramps, sudden bathroom urges, and soft stools.

Check out the graphics for a few tips that our team at HOH curated specifically for you (or your loved one) to help lessen the discomfort in the summer heat.

Summer, with its travel and vacation vibes, is the perfect time to raise awareness for Invisible Chronic Diseases. You may know someone who seems to be enjoying life, yet they could be silently battling a chronic condition that makes everyday activities a challenge. Just because someone looks 'normal' doesn’t mean they aren’t suffering.

At Hands on Health, we specialize in evaluating and treating chronic illnesses with the utmost compassion and understanding. Behind every diagnosis lies a story of resilience and struggle. These conditions may not be visible, but their impact on lives is profound and real. Let’s take this opportunity to foster understanding and support those fighting these silent battles.

Happy International Self-Compassion Day!

Today is a special reminder of the power of compassion—an essential force that connects us all, transcending barriers and fostering healing within ourselves and our relationships with others.

At Hands on Health, we often extend kindness and compassion to those around us, but let's not forget to turn that same generosity inward. Building a loving relationship with ourselves is just as vital as the connections we maintain with others.

Take a moment today to reflect and reconnect with yourself. Celebrate your strengths, acknowledge your successes, and practice kindness towards yourself for any challenges that remain.

For those looking to deepen their self-compassion journey, I highly recommend exploring the work of Kristin Neff, a pioneer in this field. She offers workshops and gatherings—both online and in person—designed to cultivate a community rooted in radical self-compassion. Check out her resources at (https://self-compassion.org/) and join us in this transformative practice!

Let’s embrace self-compassion today and every day! 💖

Our EDS circle offers a safe, nurturing space to connect, ask questions, and feel truly seen. It’s a place to share your journey, gather wisdom, and support one another with compassion and care. Together, we honor the healing power of community and the strength found in shared experience.

🧠✨ Fascia + Vagus Nerve = Neurofascial Healing

Your fascia isn’t just structural—it communicates. When it’s restricted, it distorts the messages your vagus nerve is trying to send for rest, healing, and balance.

💥 Chronic stress? Pain that won’t go away? This might be the missing link.

At Hands on Health, we blend myofascial release + vagus nerve activation to restore your body’s natural healing pathways.

🌀 Feel connected again—from the inside out.

Opening up about personal challenges can often feel daunting, even in the welcoming environment of a therapy office. Local mental health therapist, Lauren Gehman, LCSW, understands this struggle and has developed an innovative approach to break down communication barriers.

Through her RUN WALK TALK program, Lauren leverages the healing power of nature, encouraging patients to walk or run while discussing their experiences. This method fosters deeper connections and creates a safe, open space for dialogue.

To learn more about this transformative program, visit Lauren's website: [laurengehman.com/run-walk-talk-therapist](https://www.laurengehman.com/run-walk-talk-therapist).
