Energy – NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is essential for converting food into usable energy inside your cells. It fuels mitochondrial function, which powers every process in your body.

Focus – By supporting optimal brain cell activity and neurotransmitter function, NAD helps improve mental clarity, concentration, and cognitive performance.

Repair – NAD activates enzymes called sirtuins and PARPs that are involved in DNA repair, cellular protection, and reducing oxidative stress, keeping your cells functioning properly.

Longevity – With its role in energy production, cellular repair, and anti-aging pathways, NAD supports healthy aging, resilience against disease, and longer-lasting vitality.

Myths & Facts about Stress 👇
📍Myth 1: You just have to shift your mindset.
Stress is not just in your head—it’s in your body and nervous system. While mindset shifts can help, they will only stick if your body feels safe. Stress resilience comes with nourishing foods, breathwork, movement, and deep rest.
📍Myth 2: Intense exercise helps burn off stress.
Movement is amazing for releasing stress—just don’t overdo it. Intense workouts can worsen exhaustion from stress, especially if you’re already running on empty. Try acupuncture as an alternative to exercise for stress management.
📍Myth 3: Coffee helps you power through stress.
Not everyone handles caffeine the same way. Too much can overstimulate your stress response and lead to burnout. If you’re relying on coffee to push through exhaustion, your body may be asking for real rest instead.
📍Myth 4: If you’re not anxious, you’re not stressed.
Stress can show up in all kinds of sneaky ways: things like low energy, brain fog, trouble concentrating, headaches, or digestive upset. Your mind is not necessarily the first place you’ll feel it.
📍Myth 5: Stress is always bad.
Stress is never fun, but it can be a driving force for personal growth and a motivation to take action on things you may otherwise ignore. Stressing that stress is bad will only make it worse.

3 quick ways to make any meal or snack more nutrient-dense ⬇️
These superfoods give your body the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants it needs to boost energy, immune function, and overall health
Plus, they are easy to keep on hand to sprinkle, spread, or stir into just about anything:
✨ Pesto
Pesto is packed with antioxidants, vitamin K, and healthy fats. You can buy premade basil pesto or get creative with your own (ever tried it with cilantro or h**p hearts? 😋). Drop a dollop on your eggs, sandwich, or rice bowl.
✨ Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are loaded with omega-3s. Mix them into yogurt, oatmeal, or a smoothie: Bonus: combine with coconut milk and refrigerate overnight for an easy chia pudding!
✨ Cinnamon
Cinnamon contains antioxidants and may support healthy blood sugar. Sprinkle over toast with nut butter or over roasted veggies.
✨ Seaweed
Seaweed is an easy way to sneak in some extra minerals—especially iodine. Toss crispy seaweed snacks on salads or just enjoy it as a snack.
✨ Tahini
Made from sesame seeds, tahini is rich in calcium and healthy fats.Drizzle it over roasted veggies, use it as a spread for toast, or mix it into salad dressings.
When you fuel yourself with boosted nutrition, you are giving yourself an unfair advantage 🙌🏽

Why (and how) to ‘eat the rainbow’ 🌈
Did you know that the colors in fruits and veggies are a reflection of the unique phytonutrients and antioxidants they contain—and these compounds work hard to protect your health.
Here’s a quick guide to what those vibrant colors can do for you:
❤️ Red
Example: Tomatoes 🍅
Packed with lycopene, which supports the heart, prostate, and skin.
🧡 Orange
Example: Carrots 🥕
Full of beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A for eye health.
💛Yellow
Example: Onions 🧅
Provides allicin, a compound that supports immune function.
💚 Green
Example: Spinach 🥬
Rich in chlorophyll, which supports detoxification and boosts energy.
💙 Blue/Purple
Example: Berries 🫐
Contain anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that promote brain health.
Different colors = different phytonutrients = whole-body health.
You don’t need to eat all the colors in a single meal, but a great goal is to eat the rainbow over the course of each day.
Your energy, sleep, hormones, and metabolism will thank you.

“How do I know when supplements might help?” 🤔
Lots of people ask me about supplements.
In functional medicine, we think about supplements in two key ways:
1️⃣ To fill in the gaps.
Even with the best intentions and a healthy diet, it’s not always possible to get everything you need from food alone.
2️⃣ To optimize body systems.
Sometimes your body needs extra support to reach optimal function. Think: Getting your vitamin D levels high enough to support immunity ☀️ or boosting antioxidant levels to help your body detox effectively 🌿
Here are some things to ask yourself:
❓Do I have signs of nutrient insufficiencies like fatigue, brain fog, or low immunity?
❓Do I have a health condition that increases my nutrient needs?
❓Do I have high stress that might deplete my nutrient reserves?
❓Do I have digestive problems that might interfere with nutrient absorption?
Just remember:
Supplements aren’t one-size-fits-all.
Taking the wrong ones (or too much) can do more harm than good. That’s why we help our clients figure out what their bodies actually need through advanced testing and personalized recommendations.

Did you know your cells face 10,000 free radical hits every single day?
Yikes 😬
It sounds scary, but the good news is that your diet can be your defense—with antioxidants.
👉🏽 Especially key compounds in plant foods called PHYTONUTRIENTS.
thousands of phytochemicals have been identified in foods—and many have yet to be discovered.
And they have a unique ability to optimize health.
For example:
Carotenoids in carrots 🥕are great for eye health.
Glucosinolates in broccoli 🥦support detoxification.
Quercetin in onions 🧅acts like a natural anti-histamine.
Curcumin in turmeric 🫚supports healthy inflammatory responses.
Resveratrol in grapes 🍇protects heart health.
This list could go on for pages.
The takeaway?
Eating more fruits and vegetables is linked with reducing your risk for chronic diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers—because of phytonutrients.
This is why we support our clients in eating a nutrient-dense, whole-food diet.
Because while vitamins and minerals are essential, phytonutrients take your health to the next level.

Feeling tired, moody, or off? 🤔
Read this ⬇️ for 5 common nutrient deficiencies and how they show up.
Modern food systems, lifestyle habits, and even stress can deplete nutrients from our bodies.
Plus, things like gut health or medications can interfere with how we absorb the nutrients we eat.
For example:
✨Magnesium
Magnesium is known as the ‘great relaxer,’ but nearly 50% of people don’t get enough.
Low magnesium can contribute to muscle cramps, anxiety, or restless nights.
✨ Vitamin B12
Needed for energy and brain health, those following a vegan diet or with gut health issues are at risk of low levels.
Low vitamin B12 can contribute to fatigue, numbness, or memory problems.
✨ Iron
Iron carries oxygen through your blood. It can be depleted by heavy or frequent periods.
Low iron can cause anemia, leaving you pale, tired, or short of breath.
✨Vitamin D
Although your body can synthesize vitamin D when exposed to sunshine ☀️, low levels are common.
Low vitamin D can contribute to thinning bones, compromised immune function, and low mood.
✨Zinc
Zinc is needed for immune health and wound healing.
Low zinc can show up as frequent colds, slow healing, or even changes in taste or smell.
So, what’s next?
These are just a few examples of how nutrient deficiencies can impact your health. But everyone’s needs are different.
That’s why we take a personalized approach 🙌🏽
With advanced labs and individualized guidance, we help uncover what’s missing so you can feel your best.

💥 Only 48% of Americans consume the recommended amount of magnesium, but it’s essential for:
✔️ Healthy blood pressure
✔️ Stress management
✔️ Better sleep
Low magnesium can also up your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and migraines 😬
Here are some magnesium-packed meal ideas:
⭐️ Power Snack: pumpkin seeds + almonds + chocolate + banana
⭐️ Salmon Dinner: Salmon + brown rice + spinach + avocado
⭐️ Veggie Bowl: Black beans + sweet potato + cashews + avocado
It’s hard to get the recommended 320 mg for women and 420 mg for men with processed foods but easy with healthy, whole foods!
Not sure if you’re getting enough?
We can help.

Life moves fast, and if we’re always racing around or glued to our phones, our bodies perceive 💥danger💥
More stress = more cortisol = higher risks for things like high blood pressure, weight gain, and hormonal issues.
I’ve found the best way to break the stress cycle is to be intentional about it.
Like, with rituals 🌟
I don’t mean anything elaborate. Rituals can be as simple as:
✨ Taking 5 minutes to stretch before breakfast
✨ Listening to music for 10 minutes after lunch
✨ Sipping a cup of tea in silence before bed
Why do rituals work?
1️⃣ They tell your nervous system: “You’re safe.”
2️⃣ They create calm through consistency.
