Most modern diets are loaded with omega-6 fatty acids from seed oils (like soybean, corn, sunflower) and processed snacks. Meanwhile, we're often falling short on omega-3s from wild fish, flax, chia, and walnuts.

When omega-6s dramatically outweigh omega-3s, your body ends up in a more pro-inflammatory state. Over time, that can fuel everything from joint pain and skin flares to cardiovascular issues. The goal isn't to cut out omega-6s entirely (your body needs them too!), but to restore balance.

- Add more omega-3-rich foods like salmon, sardines, walnuts, flax, and chia.
- Reduce excess seed oils + processed foods that skew the ratio.

Small shifts = big long-term impact on how your body manages inflammation!

Your cravings aren't random, they're often your body sending signals about deeper needs.

Here are 5 common cravings and what they might be trying to tell you:

- Sugar: Blood sugar on a rollercoaster, chronic stress raising cortisol (which makes you reach for quick fuel), or even poor sleep driving extra carb cravings.
- Salt: Could point to taxed adrenals. Your body may crave sodium to help keep blood pressure and electrolytes balanced when under stress.
- Chocolate: Often linked to low magnesium, a mineral that calms the nervous system and supports muscle + hormone function.
- Carbs or bread: Sometimes it's comfort and serotonin (especially if mood is low), or your body needing quick energy after unstable blood sugar.
- Fatty or creamy foods: Could be tied to needing more fat-soluble nutrients or simply not getting enough healthy fats, which help with hormone balance and satiety.

Ever wonder why so many people today struggle with allergies, eczema, gut issues, or just keep getting sick?

One big reason: we're too clean. Over-sanitizing strips away the healthy microbes your immune system needs to stay balanced and strong.

Here's how to support your microbiome without skipping good hygiene:

- Use gentle soaps and ditch harsh antibacterial chemicals
- Save hand sanitizer for when soap + water aren't an option
- Feed your gut bugs with fiber-rich veggies & fermented foods
- Get outside and connect with nature (your immune system loves it!)
- Consider targeted probiotics to help rebuild diversity

Drinking tons of water but still feeling thirsty, fatigued, or crampy? It might not be about more water, it could be about missing minerals.

Your cells need electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium to actually pull water inside. Without them, you're basically just flushing fluid through.

To up your electrolyte intake easily:

- Try adding a pinch of quality sea salt or a squeeze of lemon to your water.
- Snack on potassium-rich foods like avocado & leafy greens.
- Include magnesium-rich nuts & seeds.

It's a simple shift that can support energy, muscle function, and even your adrenals, so you're truly hydrated from the inside out.

Maybe your periods have gotten heavier or more irregular.
Maybe your PMS is louder with more bloating, breast tenderness, mood swings, or cravings that hit hard.

Maybe your energy just doesn't bounce back the way it used to.
Stress, gut health shifts, thyroid changes, and even subtle nutrient deficiencies all influence how your hormones show up.

It's not just "age", it's your body asking for more support.

This little-known trace mineral plays a big role in how your body functions. Here’s what makes Selenium so important:

🔹 Selenium is crucial for converting inactive thyroid hormone (T4) into its active form (T3), which your body needs for energy, mood balance, and metabolic health.
🔹 It also acts as a powerful antioxidant in the gut, helping to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the intestinal lining.
🔹 Plus, it helps regulate your gut immune system, making it especially valuable for people with autoimmune thyroid conditions, leaky gut, or chronic digestive issues.

While you can get selenium from foods like Brazil nuts and seafood, it’s easy to fall short, especially if your digestion is compromised. Supplement with the help of a knowledgeable practitioner to get the tailored recommendations you need.

08/20/2025

Electrolyte Needs for High-Intensity and Endurance Exercises To help maintain euhydration and electrolyte balance:

1. Measure body weight before and after exercise, which can be used as a surrogate measure of water gain or loss.

2. Avoid gaining weight during endurance exercises, which indicates fluid retention and hyponatremia (low blood sodium concentration) – the most common electrolyte disturbance.

3. Consume fluid at a rate of less than 700 mL/h to reduce the risk of hyponatremia.

4. Pay attention to physiological or perceptual cues discouraging drinking, such as stomach fullness, bloating, or vomiting.

5. Modest levels of dehydration (up to 2% to 3%) are generally well tolerated, with little risk of morbidity, adverse consequences, or decline in exercise performance. However, other research suggests even a 1% body mass loss can have adverse consequences.

6. According to the International Marathon Medical Directors Association, a weight loss that exceeds 4% of body mass requires medical consultation.

7. Consecutive days of profuse sweating, such as during lengthy training sessions or a day-long ultra-endurance event in a hot environment, may lead to hyponatremia. This can be due to large sweat sodium losses, inadequate sodium intake, or both. It is prudent to ensure adequate sodium status through diet or fluids.

8. Sodium or salty snacks should be consumed with appropriate fluid volume.

9. Experiment with personalized rehydration options during training sessions before applying them to competitions or in hot environments.

Maintaining optimal electrolyte balance is crucial for high-intensity and endurance athletes to maintain euhydration. Incorporating electrolyte-water beverages before, during, and after exercising can offer clinical benefits, contributing to overall health and promoting peak athletic performance and exercise recovery.

Too many people spend hours researching their symptoms, bouncing between specialists, or being told “your labs are normal”—all while their body keeps signaling that something isn’t right.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, rushed, or told it’s “just stress”… you’re not alone. And it’s not all in your head.

We believe symptoms are messages, not mistakes. Your body is incredibly wise, it just needs someone who knows how to listen. You deserve care that doesn’t just name your diagnosis, but asks why it’s happening in the first place.

If you’re ready to be heard, seen, and supported, not just managed, let’s start with a conversation.

🧠 What Does Stress Do to Your Lymphatic System & Organs? 🌊💆‍♀️🌿

Your lymphatic system is a silent river flowing through your body — removing waste 🗑️, fighting infections 🦠, and keeping inflammation in check 🌱.
But when chronic stress moves in, it can throw this delicate balance into chaos, affecting not just lymph flow but the health of your organs too.

1️⃣ Brain & Nervous System 🧠⚡
• Stress effect: Triggers the “fight or flight” response, releasing excess adrenaline and cortisol. This constricts blood and lymph vessels, slowing brain detox via the glymphatic system.
• Lymphatic impact: Poor brain waste clearance → brain fog, memory lapses, and tension headaches.

2️⃣ Thyroid & Endocrine System 🦋🛎️
• Stress effect: Cortisol can disrupt thyroid hormone conversion (T4 → T3), slowing metabolism.
• Lymphatic impact: Reduced energy, sluggish lymph movement, and increased risk of fluid retention in the neck/face.

3️⃣ Heart & Circulatory System ❤️💓
• Stress effect: Raises heart rate and blood pressure, thickening vessel walls over time.
• Lymphatic impact: The thoracic duct (main lymph vessel) sits right near the heart — poor cardiac function can limit lymph return to circulation.

4️⃣ Liver 🍃🧪
• Stress effect: Diverts blood flow away from digestion and detox organs, slowing liver enzyme activity.
• Lymphatic impact: Toxins linger longer in the body, creating a heavier load for lymph nodes and contributing to inflammation.

5️⃣ Gut & Immune System 🌾🛡️
• Stress effect: Alters gut bacteria, weakens gut lining (leaky gut), and increases histamine release.
• Lymphatic impact: The gut houses 70% of immune cells (GALT) — when stressed, lymph in the gut becomes more congested, increasing bloating and food sensitivities.

6️⃣ Kidneys & Adrenal Glands 💧🫘
• Stress effect: Adrenal overdrive increases cortisol and aldosterone, causing sodium and water retention.
• Lymphatic impact: More fluid buildup in tissues → swelling in ankles, feet, and under the eyes.

7️⃣ Skin ✨🌸
• Stress effect: Increases inflammatory chemicals and oil production.
• Lymphatic impact: Congested skin lymph = puffiness, acne flare-ups, and slower wound healing.

✅ Lymphatic Self-Care for Stress
• Gentle daily movement (walking, yoga, stretching) 🧘‍♀️
• Deep diaphragmatic breathing 🌬️
• MLD or RLD sessions 💆‍♀️
• Prayer, meditation, or journaling ✝️📖
• Herbal teas & clean hydration 💦
• Prioritise restful sleep 😴

Tossing and turning during summer nights? Elevated temperatures can seriously disrupt your sleep, and there’s science behind it.

Your body needs to cool down in the evening to trigger melatonin production, the hormone that helps you fall and stay asleep. But when it’s hot at night, your core temperature stays elevated, delaying melatonin release and making it harder to enter deep, restorative sleep. And if your nervous system is already on edge from stress, blood sugar swings, or inflammation, heat only amplifies sleep struggles.

🧊 Here’s what can help:

- Keep your room below 70°F (21°C) if possible
- Take a cool shower before bed to drop core body temp
- Use a cooling pillow or light, breathable bedding
- Sip chamomile or magnesium teas to calm the nervous system
- Avoid alcohol or heavy meals close to bedtime as they spike body temp and blood sugar

Support your sleep - it's when your body repairs and regulates everything from hormones to immunity.

08/12/2025

The lymphatic system is a vital part of your immune and detoxification pathways. It moves a clear fluid called lymph through a network of vessels, nodes, and tissues to help remove waste, excess fluid, and toxins from your body.

Unlike the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system has no central pump. Lymph relies on the movement of muscles, breath, and surrounding tissues to circulate. This makes it especially sensitive to dehydration, inflammation, and inactivity.

When lymph flow becomes sluggish, waste can build up in tissues, often leading to symptoms like puffiness, brain fog, fatigue, or recurring low-grade infections. Over time, poor lymph circulation can impact detox efficiency, immune function, and fluid balance.
