🌿 Ever feel like the odd one out? Or like you’re swimming upstream while everyone else just coasts?

As I observed the activity of the fish in this pond, I noticed how methodical and intentional the Koi fish moved around in comparison to the back-and-forth, hurried chaos of the little gold fish. A bunch of little goldfish doing their thing… and one big, bold koi fish standing out in the middle of it all.

That koi is all of us when we decide to take control of our health. When we say no to chronic fatigue, hormonal chaos, blood sugar crashes, mystery symptoms, and being told “everything looks normal” when it clearly doesn’t feel that way.

Sometimes doing what’s right for your body doesn’t look like what everyone else is doing.

🧠 Prioritizing sleep.
🥦 Choosing nourishing foods over convenience.
🩺 Asking deeper questions about your health.
💉 Investing in preventive and functional care instead of waiting for something to break.

It might feel different at first—but different is often where the healing begins.

Here’s to being the koi in a pond of goldfish. 🧡✨

Enjoy your weekend,
Lacey

🌍Everything feels heavy, these days.

We’re living in an age of constant stimulation and stress overload—between 24/7 news cycles, unrealistic expectations, hormonal chaos, and the pressure to “do it all,” it’s no wonder so many women feel exhausted, anxious, inflamed, and just… off. 😩

Here’s the truth: your body wasn’t designed to live in fight-or-flight mode all day, every day.

That chronic stress?
🧠 It’s hijacking your hormones.
🩺 It’s disrupting your sleep.
🍕 It’s intensifying cravings and sabotaging your metabolism.
💤 It’s draining your energy and stealing your joy.

But there’s good news.

✨ Your body is incredibly resilient when given the right support.

From personalized hormone optimization to stress resilience protocols, peptide therapy, nervous system support, and cutting-edge tools that help your body heal and thrive—we’ve got you.

👉 Your wellness is not a luxury—it’s your foundation.

💛 Travel and laughter are good medicine!

🚙 Take the trip.

🥑 Eat good food.

😅 Don’t let the stress of this world weigh you down .

Be blessed & Be well,

🌞 Summer Stress, Burnout & the Hidden Hormone Havoc 🧠💥

You might think summertime means slower schedules, vacations, and sunshine bliss—but many women this time of year are running on empty.

➡️ Juggling kids at home, disrupted routines, travel plans, longer daylight hours (less sleep!), and trying to eat well or stay consistent with workouts… It’s a recipe for chronic stress, adrenal fatigue, and hormonal chaos.

⚠️ What we’re seeing more of in the clinic right now:
• Anxiety and irritability
• Hair thinning
• Worsening PMS or irregular cycles
• Insomnia and early waking (hello 3 a.m.)
• Sugar cravings and stubborn weight gain—especially around the belly

🎯 These are NOT just random symptoms. They’re often signs of:
✔️ Cortisol imbalance
✔️ Blood sugar instability
✔️ Estrogen dominance
✔️ Low progesterone
✔️ Nutrient deficiencies (especially magnesium & B vitamins)

💡What you can do now:
1. Get your hormone and nutrient levels checked
2. Fuel with protein + fiber + healthy fat every meal (skip the sugar rollercoaster).
3. Hydrate & mineralize – electrolytes > plain water alone.
4. Support your adrenals – think Rhodiola, Ashwagandha, Magnesium Glycinate.
5. Give yourself permission to REST. Not everything is it urgent.

💬 Drop a ☀️ if this post resonates with you. You’re not lazy, unmotivated, or broken—you might just be burnt out and hormonally out of sync.

💛 Your Mental Health Matters, Mama. 💛

Let’s talk about something we often push to the bottom of the list: our own mental health.

Women—and especially mothers—carry a quiet weight. The invisible load of nurturing, managing, multitasking, planning, and showing up for everyone else. And while we’re busy taking care of all the things, our own emotional wellness often gets overlooked.

🧠 Mental health isn’t a luxury. It’s not selfish. It’s foundational.

When your cup is empty, you can’t pour into anyone else. You deserve time to breathe, space to feel, support to process, and care to heal.

👉 Anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, mood swings, insomnia, irritability—these aren’t just “normal mom things.” They’re signs that your nervous system is overloaded and it’s time for support, not shame.

At Sour Lake Health & Medical, we help women restore balance naturally—from the inside out. These are a few of our favorite supplements for supporting mental clarity, emotional balance, and stress resilience:

✨ Magnesium Glycinate – Helps calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep quality.

✨ L-theanine – A gentle amino acid that promotes relaxation without sedation.

✨ Ashwagandha – An adaptogen that supports adrenal health, balances cortisol, and helps your body respond to stress.

✨ B-Complex Vitamins – Crucial for energy, mood, and brain function—especially during times of stress.

✨ Omega-3 Fatty Acids (DHA + EPA) – Nourish the brain, improve mood, and reduce inflammation.

✨ 5-HTP or GABA – Can support serotonin production and calm an overactive mind (great for those 2 a.m. wake-ups).

🌿 You are worthy of feeling well—emotionally, mentally, physically.

Let’s make your well-being a priority. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to do this alone.

☀️ Sun, Chlorine & Summer Skin: Let’s Talk Protection + Recovery! 💧

Summer is all about fun in the sun, but did you know that prolonged sun exposure and time in chlorine-treated pools can do a number on your skin, hair, and overall health?

🔬 The Truth About Chlorine & UV Exposure:
• Chlorine strips your skin and hair of natural oils, leading to dryness, irritation, and even flares of eczema or dermatitis.
• Prolonged sun exposure accelerates skin aging, depletes collagen, and increases oxidative stress (hello, sun spots and fine lines).
• The combo of both can leave your body inflamed, dehydrated, and in need of serious recovery.

🌿 That’s where Rowe Casa Organics comes in — offering non-toxic, natural solutions to help your body heal, hydrate, and glow all summer long.

✨ Our Summer Must-Haves:

🕶️ Mineral Sun Shield – A clean, non-toxic alternative to chemical sunscreens. Made with without endocrine disruptors or synthetic ingredients.

🏊‍♀️After Swim Spray – A must-have for frequent swimmers! Gently neutralizes chlorine and pool chemicals from skin and hair, while hydrating and soothing naturally with apple cider vinegar, aloe, and essential oils.

🌞 After Sun Spray – Cools and soothes sun-kissed skin naturally with aloe and lavender.

🧴 Healing Lotion – Replenishes moisture and repairs dry, chlorine-stripped skin.

🧼 Clarifying Shampoo + Conditioner – Gently detoxes hair from pool chemicals while restoring shine and softness.

💦 Hydrating Facial Serum – Infused with botanicals to fight sun damage and boost elasticity.

📍 Now available at Sour Lake Health & Medical! These products are 100% clean, organic, and formulated to support your body’s natural healing process—inside and out.

📣 PSA: Everything is NOT a priority.

If your to-do list is starting to feel like a CVS receipt that never ends… you’re not alone.

We’re living in a world that glorifies busy, praises hustle, and tricks us into thinking that if we’re not doing all the things, we’re somehow falling behind. But here’s the truth: that pace is unsustainable — and it’s making you sick.

🧠 Chronic stress from this “go, go, go” lifestyle keeps your cortisol levels sky-high. That means:
• You’re tired but wired
• Your sleep is disrupted
• You’re more irritable or anxious
• Your immune system is weaker
• Your inflammation levels are through the roof

Your body wasn’t designed to run on overdrive. And the constant demand to treat everything as urgent or important is a recipe for burnout, hormone imbalance, and metabolic dysfunction.

💡Let’s shift the mindset: Instead of asking “What do I have to do?” — ask “What actually matters?”

Here’s a functional medicine-approved Priority List to help you manage life’s demands with your health in mind:

🔹 1. Protect your peace like it’s medicine.
Say no without guilt. Boundaries are a form of self-care.

🔹 2. Nourish your body first, not last.
Protein-rich meals, water, and key supplements (like magnesium, B vitamins, and adaptogens) support your stress response.

🔹 3. Move your body with intention.
You don’t need 90-minute workouts. 20 minutes of walking, stretching, or strength training goes a long way for cortisol regulation.

🔹 4. Sleep is non-negotiable.
Your brain and hormones reboot while you sleep. Aim for 7–9 hours — and don’t feel bad for turning in early.

🔹 5. Create white space in your day.
Schedule in rest and recovery time the same way you’d schedule an appointment. Mental margin is where healing begins.

🔹 6. Ask for support.
Whether it’s help with kids, meals, or emotional load — you don’t have to carry everything alone. That’s not strength, that’s survival mode.

🧬 At Sour Lake Health & Medical, we encourage our clients to rebalance their body and their life. Health isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing what matters most.

✨Be blessed & Be well,

🌿 Let’s Talk Tuesdays🌿

Protein: The Foundation of a Thriving Body

Did you know most women aren’t eating enough protein? It’s a silent epidemic, especially for those of us navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply trying to stay strong and healthy in today’s busy world.

Here’s why protein matters so much:
✅ Builds and maintains lean muscle (hello metabolism boost!)
✅ Supports healthy blood sugar and insulin balance (goodbye energy crashes and cravings!)
✅ Helps repair tissues—from your skin to your gut lining
✅ Supports hormone production and optimal neurotransmitter function (mood, sleep, focus, all of it!)
✅ Keeps you feeling full and satisfied, helping to prevent overeating and weight gain

Now here’s the issue:
In today’s world, our food culture and policies make it HARDER than ever to get enough protein—especially if you’re not being intentional about it.

• Processed foods dominate the shelves, full of sugar, seed oils, and empty carbs

• Meal portions at restaurants? Typically carb-heavy, protein-light

• Many women have been told to “eat less” for years, but cutting calories without prioritizing protein is a recipe for fatigue, hair loss, muscle loss, and hormonal imbalance

💡 Most women need at least 100 grams of protein per day—more if you’re active or over 40.

That means planning meals around protein:
• 🥚 Eggs at breakfast
• 🍗 Grilled chicken, salmon, steak at lunch
• 🍤 Shrimp stir-fry, turkey burgers, salmon at dinner
• 🥤 Protein shakes or bars (without added sugar or seed oils) for snacks and/ or in place of a meal

Bottom line: A protein-deficient diet can lead to:
🚫 Low energy
🚫 Mood swings and anxiety
🚫 Sugar cravings
🚫 Muscle loss (and stubborn belly fat)
🚫 Weak hair, skin, and nails
🚫 Poor recovery from workouts or injuries

It’s time to stop fearing food and start fueling your body with what it truly needs.

*Nurri is my new favorite protein shake. Tastes likee chocolate milk and I love that it comes in a can!

🌿 Monday Motivation🌿

It’s a brand new week—the perfect time to take a closer look at how you’re nourishing your body!

Here’s the truth: Not all supplements are created equally, and not everyone needs every supplement.

💡 You’ve probably seen shelves full of vitamins, herbs, and minerals, each promising better energy, immune support, or a longer life. But without proper guidance, you might be spending money on products that aren’t right for you—or worse, doing more harm than good.

At Sour Lake Health & Medical, we screen for deficiencies and create individualized plans of care to help you:

✅ Fill in nutritional gaps
✅ Support your body’s unique needs
✅ Optimize your health & wellness with quality, medical-grade supplements
✅ Create personalized plans based on your unique needs

Because your body is unique, your wellness plan should be too.

✨ Let’s make this week the week you invest in your health… the right way. ✨
