Your energy is talking to you—and it often starts with your blood sugar.

If you wake up tired, crash mid-afternoon, or constantly crave sugar, your body is sending signals that it needs support. Sometimes it’s functional hypoglycemia, sometimes insulin resistance—but either way, the solution isn’t more caffeine or sugar.

Start paying attention to your patterns: how you feel when you wake up, between meals, and after eating. These daily clues are your roadmap to better energy, clearer thinking, and deeper sleep.

Small changes in meals, movement, and stress management can make a huge difference. Listen to your body—it knows what it needs.

The gallbladder is often overlooked as part of the digestive tract. It sits below your liver and stores bile, a liquid that helps break down fatty foods. In order for everything to digest properly, we need to take care of our entire digestive tract and that includes the gallbladder.

Symptoms of gallbladder congestion include:
☑ bloat or nausea after a fatty meal
☑ fishy tasting burps after taking fish oil
☑ pain under the right rib cage or between the shoulder blades

True healing is allowing the emotions to be there and gently holding space for your emotions to be there and gently holding space for yourself until you are through that moment. Don’t own the emotion. Just observe it, allow it, and move on to the next moment.

Deep breaths. 🙏

Establishing a solid bedtime routine and preparing your mind and body for sleep can be instrumental to your physical health, mental health, and overall vitality.

If you or your family struggle with bedtime anxiety, I highly suggest establishing a bedtime routine that works the best for you. Start small by incorporating one element of each category and slowly add to your routine as you feel suited.

Remember, it’s not a wellness routine if it causes you stress. Small changes can make a world of difference.

One of the best ways to access brain health is through diet, both what we eat and what we don’t eat. Focus on incorporating more of the beneficial brain foods and start cutting back on the foods that create inflammation.

* Salmon/Fatty Fish
* Walnuts (Raw)
* Avocados
* Coconut oil, MCT oil, Olive oil
* Pumpkin Seeds
* Blueberries
* Kale/dark leafy greens
* Broccoli
* Beets
* Dark Chocolate (70%+)
* Turmeric
* Eggs
* Green Tea
* Lamb

B vitamins are essentially the spark plugs for your body. They don’t give you energy directly — but they help you make energy from the food you eat.

They’re also essential for:
🔹Brain + mood support (neurotransmitters + focus)
🔹Hormone balance (especially in perimenopause + PMS)
🔹Nervous system health
🔹Red blood cell + methylation support (detox + DNA repair)

When you’re stressed, not sleeping well, or eating processed food, your B vitamins get used up quickly. Replenishing them can make a huge difference in your energy, mood, and resilience.

Remember, not all B vitamins are created equal — always look for active, methylated forms for best absorption.

Your nervous system isn’t just affected by stress — it’s influenced by everything you do, eat, and are exposed to.

You can support your nervous system by:
🌿 Eating balanced meals with protein & healthy fats
💧 Staying hydrated with minerals
🌳 Getting daily nature time
💨 Practicing slow, diaphragmatic breathing
😴 Prioritizing deep, restorative sleep

Your nervous system is your foundation — protect it, and your whole body thrives.

Small shifts add up — you don’t have to live off the grid to protect your health, but being mindful of your EMF exposure can help you support your body’s natural balance.

I get so many questions from people wanting to know what functional medicine is and how it differs from traditional western medicine.

In a broad sense, functional medicine (a.k.a. holistic medicine, natural medicine, etc.) aims to create balance within our bodies in a way that is natural and easy to maintain. This includes balancing our hormones, microbiome, nervous system, diet, vitamins/minerals, and so on.

In my practice specifically, we also incorporate the emotional, mental, and spiritual elements that often throw off this balance - things like chronic stress, unresolved trauma, and emotional distress.

Are you ready to take a more comprehensive approach to your health rather than just treating the symptoms? Are you tired of being told everything “looks good” when you know something is off? Head to the link in my bio to learn more about our treatment options.

3. Manage stress through meditation, yoga, or regular exercise.
4. Prioritize quality sleep.

The real benefits of GLP-1s reach far beyond weight loss.

When used at low doses, GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide can offer powerful metabolic, hormonal, and neurological support.

Curious if GLP-1 microdosing is right for you? Let’s talk. We use a functional, whole-body approach because weight is just one piece of the puzzle.
