Don't know which protein shake to use? Tune in tonight and find out or listen to the recording on Dr. Laura Dennison's page!

Not All Protein Shakes Are Created Equal. 🥤

Protein is one of the most talked about nutrients today — but most people don’t realize that different proteins digest differently and deliver amino acids to the body at different speeds.

Tonight we’re diving into:

• Protein & Amino Acids
• Why not all proteins are the same
• Why amino acids matter for your health
• Fast, medium, and slow protein sources
• Why protein blends can be beneficial
• What to look for in a quality protein shake

If you drink protein shakes or have ever wondered which ones are actually beneficial, this will be a great conversation.

Join us tonight!

🧠 Fun Fact Friday: Your Gut Makes Your Mood Chemicals
Fun Fact:
About 90% of your serotonin — your “feel good” neurotransmitter — is produced in your gut, not your brain.

That means your digestive health directly influences your mood, sleep, and mental clarity.

When the gut microbiome is balanced, it helps regulate:
• Mood stability
• Stress response
• Sleep cycles
• Appetite control
• Immune function

But when the gut becomes disrupted from things like:
• Processed foods
• Antibiotics
• Sugar
• Stress
• Poor nutrient intake

…it can affect far more than digestion.

People may start experiencing:
• Anxiety
• Brain fog
• Irritability
• Poor sleep
• Sugar cravings
• Low motivation

This is why many traditional and functional medicine approaches start by supporting the gut first.

Because when you support the gut with the right nutrients, fiber, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria, you’re also supporting the brain.

✨ Healthy gut.
✨ Clear mind.
✨ Better mood.

Everything in the body is connected.
