I talk a lot about Insulin with my clients because high insulin levels are very closely linked to many of our chronic diseases.

Pretty easy to see why the foods on the left would cause Insulin to spike. So much sugar.

I get emails everyday from my favorite store. On Monday mornings, they send “The Chirp”. A simple message.
This one hit me since my biggest issue in life is worrying. I mean worrying about EVERYTHING!
A perfect message for the week ahead:

This conversation seems to be one of the most popular I have with clients and patients. Symptoms of digestive issues: burping, reflux, excessive bloating…

Often times you bring these symptoms to your doctor and you may walk out with a prescription for a PPI, proton pump inhibitor.

This happened to me in college. I went on Nexium because I had horrible acid reflux.

After studying our biology and how digestion works, I now know, these symptoms are, in most cases, coming from low stomach acid, not too much acid.
Going on a PPI only makes the problem worse, not better. These meds suppress the HCL, stomach acid, even more.
They are ok for short term use, maybe 2-6 weeks tops, but most definitely, not a lifetime.

We need a whole lot of HCL in order to break down food and allow for proper digestion and absorption.

Simple ways to improve your stomach acid, lemon in your water and a shot of ACV 10 minutes before a meal.
No side effects.
No prescription.
Not expensive.
All natural!

Look at how beautiful these farm fresh eggs are. I love the different colors and how each egg is different, just how they are supposed to be.
These are from my daughter’s chicken family, The McChickens 🩵

We all have seasons in life.

Some calm.
Some rough.
Some slow.
Some very busy & fast paced.

I personally am coming off of a very “stressful” season. My body has been in Fight or Flight mode once again for weeks.

How do I get out of this season?
How do you get yourself out of stressful situations that may have lasted for months at a time?

Well, we have to go back to the Foundations!

Sleep
Nutrient Dense Diet
Blood Sugar Regulation
Digestion
Movement
Management of that Stress

I am constantly running a self check. It may not always be perfect but when life gets tough, we have to go back to the basics.

Light therapy is a real thing and we all need it. Even if it’s 42 degrees, you can still feel the warmth of that sun and see the blue.
