I love how .jared.price.dnp views healing. Oftentimes we want to jump straight to gut health, or straight to detoxing. In podcast episode 210, he talks about going through “doors” of healing.

1️⃣The first step, or first door to go through, is resetting the nervous system. The vagus nerve controls whether you’re in fight or flight, or rest and digest mode. This is step one because a dysregulated nervous system affects everything downstream. Resetting your vagal nerve can be as simple as humming, box breathing or taking adaptogens (these help modulate the stress response.)

2️⃣Once your nervous system is regulated, then move on to gut health and focus on things like getting adequate protein, food sensitivities and hormone regulation.

When you’re ready to move through “doors” 3 & 4, these look like: 
3️⃣Drainage: your kidneys, bowels, and lymph system need to clear toxins. Sleep and exercise are great tools! These help your body eliminate the “junk” before moving to door 4.

4️⃣Detoxing: If a detox is needed, work closely with your doctor, and take 3-4 months minimum, and go low & slow to avoid harsh symptoms. Most people don’t need this step because doors 1-3 often handle it naturally.

Why your vagus nerve might be the ACTUAL root cause of your health issues (not what you think) 👇

Most people jump straight to supplements, detoxes, or extreme diets when they’re struggling with their health.

But .jared.price.dnp says there’s a reason vagal nerve regulation is Door #1 in his framework—and it’s not arbitrary.

If your nervous system is stuck in fight/flight mode, EVERYTHING downstream gets thrown off:

➡️Your gut can’t heal properly
➡️Your body can’t detox effectively
➡️Your hormones stay dysregulated
➡️You’re essentially trying to fix problems while the foundation is still broken

Seasonal depression (often called seasonal affective disorder or SAD), is a form of depression that comes and goes with the seasons. It most commonly shows up in the fall and lasts until spring, when shorter days and reduced sunlight can affect mood and energy.☀️

Here are some foods that can help:

🐟Omega-3 fatty acids (found in wild caught salmon) may help support mood and reduce symptoms of seasonal depression by lowering inflammation in the brain and enhancing neurotransmitter function.1

🥩Getting enough protein can be so helpful for the mind. Here’s how: neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers between brain cells and the rest of the body. Amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein, help produce neurotransmitters. Numerous disorders, such as depression, addiction, ADHD, Alzheimer’s, and schizophrenia, are linked to low dopamine levels.

🥚Eggs (especially the yolks!) provide vitamin D, a nutrient your body uses not just for bone and immune health but also to support brain function and chemical signaling. Vitamin D helps influence the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, which are involved in regulating mood and overall mental well-being. 3

🥗Eating plenty of fiber-rich produce feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut, helping them produce short-chain fatty acids and support a balanced microbiome. A healthier gut environment is linked to better communication along the gut-brain axis, which can influence mood and has been associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms. 4

💊Magnesium supports the nervous system and stress response, while B vitamins (especially B6) are needed to make mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Low levels of both have been linked to increased depressive symptoms. Just Ingredients Magnesium Complex and Methylated B Complex will be available in Target starting in February! 5

New research is uncovering a concerning link between ultra-processed food and rising cancer rates in people under 50, particularly colon cancer.

Could low fiber be partly to blame?

Here’s what we know:
➡️The average person eats only 10-15g of fiber daily (we should be eating 25-35g).
➡️Fiber feeds beneficial gut bacteria that protect against inflammation and cellular damage.
➡️Whole foods like legumes, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains are fiber powerhouses.

While fiber isn’t the only factor, it’s a piece of the puzzle we actually have a lot of control over.

Another great way to get in fiber is to supplement.

🚨With our subscription sale now LIVE, right now is the perfect time to try the Just Ingredients Fiber Supplement.🚨

This is your sign to start paying closer attention to your vitamin D levels.🤯

Vitamin D deficiency doesn’t usually present with obvious symptoms until it’s severe. You’re not going to “feel” your telomeres shortening. You’re not going to notice your cells aging faster.

The good news? It’s one of the most accessible interventions we have- a blood test! I always say test, don’t guess.

Swipe to see the full breakdown of what researchers found—and why most Vitamin D supplements are missing a critical component. 👉

What This Study Can and Can’t Tell Us:

✅ What we know: Daily vitamin D (2,000 IU) preserved telomeres in adults 50+ over 4 years
✅ Why it matters: First large-scale proof that vitamin D slows cellular aging markers

⚠️ Limitations:
-Telomere data from 1,054 participants (subset of full trial)
-Primarily white participants; more research needed in diverse populations
-Ages 50+ only; effects in younger adults unknown
- Baseline vitamin D status not measured

Here’s why I would chose those 3 supplements:

Magnesium:
-Less than 60 percent of adult men and women in the U.S. meet the adequate intake for magnesium.
-Low magnesium levels are easy to ignore and because of this, it has been called an “invisible deficiency.” 1
-I personally love it because it helps me sleep so much better.

Omega 3 fatty acids:
-Omega 3’s are needed by every cell in the body. Some organs and functions that use omega 3’s are the brain, eyes, muscles, the immune system, digestion and fertility.
-Omega 3’s are well known for their heart health benefits. People who consume omega-3s may have less arterial plaque buildup, which lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke.
-Those who regularly consume omega 3’s are less likely to suffer from depression. 2

B Vitamins:
-help supports healthy liver function and detoxification pathways.
-B vitamins help with metabolism, help form red blood cells, and convert food into usable energy.
-Known for helping with cognitive performance and emotional wellness.

A woman’s body goes through immense physiological changes during pregnancy, both to nurture the developing baby and to prepare the mother for labor and delivery. 🤰

Like a multivitamin, a prenatal vitamin is there to fill in any nutritional gaps that might not be included in mom’s diet.

Many prenatal vitamins contain synthetic folic acid. ➡️Folate is the natural source and much more bioavailable, especially important for those with the MTHFR gene.

Studies have shown that the MTHFR variant and low folate status have each been studied independently and linked to depressed mood during pregnancy. Folate deficiency has also been suggested as a possible factor in postpartum depression and psychosis. 1 2🤯

🚨Stat: At humidity levels of 23% or less, 70-77% of flu virus particles remain infectious after one hour, but when humidity is raised to 43%, only 14% can still cause infection.🚨

➡️Humidifiers helps you maintain the optimal 40-60% humidity range, creating an environment where airborne viruses struggle to survive. Most of the viral inactivation happens within the first 15 minutes, meaning every moment your humidifier is running, it’s actively working to reduce the spread of illness in your home.

Ever heard of foot zoning? It’s way more than just a fancy foot massage, it’s an ancient healing practice that treats your feet like a map of your entire body.

In this episode, we sat down with to break down what foot zoning actually is. Heidi explains how specific zones on your feet correspond to different organs and systems in your body, and how applying pressure to these zones can potentially support your body’s natural healing processes.

Protein is everywhere lately! And for good reason, but not all protein products are made with healthy ingredients.

Swipe to see which protein foods I’d choose instead👉

Most of us know that protein helps build muscle, but it does so much more:

➡️Protein breaks down into amino acids, which compose essentially every cell in the body. Protein helps transport molecules through the body. 1

➡️Protein also digests more slowly than carbohydrates, so it helps us to feel satiated for longer periods of time. Instead of eating a carbohydrate-rich meal or snack and feeling tired and unable to concentrate after, protein can help prevent that by keeping blood sugar levels stable. Sudden drops in blood sugar can lead to decreased cognitive function and attention span. 2

➡️Protein is important because of its role in making hormones and enzymes. This is so important, especially for teens whose hormones can use support and help with regulating. 3

➡️Protein is beneficial for bone health. People who eat more protein have better bone mass and lower risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. 4

➡️Protein helps with aging. Bone and muscle loss as well as loss of strength and mobility, all increase with age but protein helps delay this age related deterioration. 5

➡️Protein significantly boosts or speeds up metabolism so more calories are burned all day long. 6

➡️Protein helps to lower cholesterol. A collection of controlled studies showed that with increased protein, both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were lowered. 7

Learning about the power of nutrition literally changed my life and was one of the biggest reasons I started .ingredients

We’ve built an entire healthcare system focused on treating disease after it happens, not preventing it in the first place. Doctors spend a decade learning to prescribe medications and perform surgeries, but almost no time learning about the one thing that could keep their patients out of the hospital to begin with.

Last August, HHS finally mandated reform. Schools submitted plans in September, and there’s a summit in April 2026. But realistically, this will take years before it changes anything for the doctors we’re actually seeing.

Meanwhile, 1 million Americans die annually from diet-related causes.

The system isn’t set up for prevention. It’s set up for intervention. And until that fundamentally changes, the responsibility falls on us to educate ourselves.

Natural flavors are another ingredient that would have been soo easy for me to add to my products. But I know we can flavor things with food.🍓

I appreciate all brands that flavor their products with real food!

Natural flavors can contain anywhere from 50-100+ ingredients. And of that flavor, 80-90 percent of the volume can be solvents and preservatives. These are called ‘incidental additives’.

The term natural flavor only refers to the original flavor source. So natural means that at the point of origin, the manufacturer worked with a natural source.

Because the term ‘natural’ is very vague and the term is very poorly regulated, many companies use that to their full advantage. Essentially, there’s no real way to know what is in natural flavors. Some companies are transparent about what is in their natural flavor, some are not.
