Sometimes you don’t have to add much — just the right words.

This piece, “Functional Medicine,” was beautifully created by .writing.
I simply shared the name — she brought it to life.

Functional Medicine is where science meets soul…
where the data and the human story coexist.
And this artwork captures that balance perfectly.

What an inspiring day at TEDxOcala 2025! 🎤

The Absolute Health team was proud to be part of this year’s event — alongside Doctor E Store and The FMP Essentials Show — supporting ideas that challenge, heal, and inspire.

TEDxOcala is more than a stage — it’s a movement that celebrates innovation, community, and the power of meaningful conversations.
We’re proud to share a message close to our hearts:
that health is most powerful when it’s functional, holistic, and personalized.

Grateful for everyone who stopped by, shared their stories, and joined us in reimagining what true healing can look like.

How much protein do breastfeeding moms really need?

New research shows lactating women may require 1.7–1.9 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight — nearly double what was once recommended.

🧬 Protein supports:

Recovery and tissue repair

Milk production and nutrient density

Postpartum metabolism and energy

So if you’ve been told to “eat normally,” that advice might be outdated.

An orange pigment in food might help delay menopause. 🍊

A 12-year study followed over 1,000 premenopausal women.
Researchers found that one specific carotenoid, called beta-cryptoxanthin, was linked to slower ovarian decline — and it comes from everyday orange foods like:

🥕 Carrots
🍊 Oranges & tangerines
🥭 Papaya
🍈 Persimmons

These foods don’t just add color — they deliver compounds that may help protect ovarian function and support healthy hormone transitions.

Food isn’t just fuel. It’s information for your genes. 🧬

Not all vitamins (or minerals) are a 10 👀

💊 Vitamin D3 > D2 — that’s a 10 vs a 6…7
💪 Magnesium glycinate > oxide — 10 vs 6…7
🧠 Methyl B12 > cyanocobalamin — 10 vs 6…7

Because the form matters.
Bioavailable forms actually support energy, mood, and recovery — the rest just look good on the label.

“Does a cortisol spike only last 90 seconds?”

Here’s the truth ⬇️

1️⃣ That “90-second” idea came from neuroscientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, author of Whole Brain Living.
She found that the initial emotional surge (adrenaline, stress chemicals) lasts about 90 seconds if you don’t keep replaying the story.

2️⃣ Cortisol, the main stress hormone, acts on a longer timeline — peaking around 20–30 minutes after a trigger and tapering off over hours.

3️⃣ The key isn’t stopping cortisol — it’s resetting your stress loop: deep breathing, grounding, good sleep, and protein in the morning.

Your body’s designed to handle short-term stress — but not to live in it.

Most people try to fight cravings — but what if you could ride them instead? 🌊

It’s called urge surfing — a science-backed mindfulness skill proven in 20+ human trials to reduce cravings, emotional eating, smoking, and stress.

Instead of resisting an urge, you observe it like a wave:
1️⃣ Notice it without judgment.
2️⃣ Breathe and name what you feel.
3️⃣ Ride the wave until it passes — because it always does.

🧠 Research shows this rewires your brain’s craving circuits and restores self-control without restriction or guilt.

💬 What urge are you ready to ride out today?

Feeling anxious or on edge?
There are ways to support your body’s ability to calm down — naturally. 🧠

I just finished an amazing conversation with Everest Goldstein, a Functional Medicine psychiatric nurse practitioner, all about root-cause approaches to anxiety and feeling anxious.

That full episode will air soon, but we both shared one nutrient that’s been researched for helping the brain and nervous system stay calm — L-theanine.

It’s not a cure or a prescription — just one of many ways to help your body find balance when life gets stressful.

If you skip fermented foods, you could be aging faster than you think.

Research from NHANES data shows that people who regularly eat fermented foods—like kimchi, natto, sauerkraut, and pickled veggies—have:
✨ Better markers of biological aging
💪 Less frailty
🧠 Fewer depressive symptoms
💩 Improved gut regularity

It turns out, it’s not just about calories or macros—it’s about the microbes in your diet.
Those living, beneficial bacteria support the gut microbiome that fuels longevity and resilience.
