When my energy feels off, I come back to the basics:

✨ Start my day with protein
A carb-heavy breakfast can send your blood sugar on a rollercoaster, leading to that afternoon crash.

✨ Drink water (with electrolytes when needed!)
Even mild dehydration can zap your energy, focus, and mood.

✨ Eat lots of magnesium-rich foods
Magnesium is involved in hundreds of cellular reactions, including how your body makes energy.

✨ Avoid afternoon caffeine
Caffeine too late in the day can disrupt sleep (and make you even more tired tomorrow).

First, foods that may harm thyroid function are the same ones that otherwise promote inflammation, disrupt blood sugar balance, or create stress in the body:

✖️ Hydrogenated and trans fats
✖️ Sugary or highly refined foods
✖️ Seafood high in environmental toxins (like PCBs)

Depending on the person, sensitivities to gluten (including cross reactive grains), or other specific foods may also trigger immune responses and inflammation that damage the thyroid.

On the other hand, foods that support thyroid function either deliver essential nutrients or combat oxidative stress and inflammation:

✔️ Omega-3 essential fatty acids
✔️ Meats, nuts, and seeds high in trace minerals
✔️ Plant foods for antioxidant phytonutrients

Plus—studies have shown that the Mediterranean diet may specifically benefit thyroid function.

This is a big topic and needs to be individualized to the person!

Be sure to tap follow 🙌 so you don’t miss some great education on food and the body!

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of your cells 💥

They take the food you eat + the oxygen you breathe and convert it into energy.

If your mitochondria are overworked, underfed, or damaged…

You feel it. 🥱

Low energy, poor recovery, brain fog, inflammation.

Here’s a non-exhaustive list of things that impact mitochondrial function:

❎ Nutrient deficiencies (especially CoQ10, B vitamins, magnesium)
❎ Blood sugar swings
❎ Stress
❎ Inflammation
❎ Environmental toxins (like mold, heavy metals, and pollutants)

But our mitochondria are resilient too!

When we support mitochondrial health, your energy can return from the cellular level up.

This is exactly what we do in functional medicine.

If you’re ready to stop masking fatigue and start fueling real energy, comment READY !

This study used AI and body imaging to compare fat distribution to cardiovascular health.

They found that “belly” fat was linked to:

✔️ Inflammation
✔️ Arterial stiffness
✔️ Risk of cardiovascular disease

And by “belly” fat, I mean visceral fat around the internal organs.

But in contrast, women with more fat stored in the hips and thighs had protective effects on the heart.

Where fat is distributed depends on hormones, diet, lifestyle, and more.

In functional medicine, here’s a non-exhaustive list of ways we help reduce visceral fat:

▪️ Foods to fight inflammation
▪️ Eating habits to support healthy blood sugar
▪️ Hormone and metabolic testing (insulin, cortisol, estrogen, thyroid, etc.)
▪️ Nervous system regulation to manage cortisol
▪️ Sleep optimization
▪️ Personalized movement plans
▪️ Stress management tools (HPA axis support)
▪️ Targeted supplementation

A new study found that older adults who drank beet juice for 2 weeks had healthier blood pressure.

But why?

Here’s how it works:

✔ Beets are rich in nitrate
✔ Nitrate gets converted by oral bacteria into nitric oxide
✔ Nitric oxide helps relax blood vessels and support circulation

The study found that beet juice even shifted the oral microbiome in a healthier direction—boosting good bugs and lowering harmful ones.

✨ In functional nutrition, we look at how the gut, microbiome, and vascular system are all connected.

Curious about how this might work for you? DM us! Beet root is great for many things such as digestion, liver support, as well as energy and blood flow!

👋🏽 Raise your hand if you can relate to any of these things:

Exhausted in the morning?
Anxious in the evening?
Poor sleep at night?
Feeling rested NEVER?!

Here’s one possible explanation:

Cortisol.

Cortisol is your body’s stress hormone, but it also follows a daily rhythm that affects your energy.

Cortisol is meant to be:
☀️ High in the morning to wake you up
🌙 Low at night so you can sleep

But if that rhythm is out of sync, it can disrupt your energy, mood, sleep, hormones, and more.

Here’s what we can do about it:

✔️ Test your cortisol pattern to see if it’s disrupted
✔️ Support your stress response with foods & supplements
✔️ Weave in habits to regulate your nervous system & hormones

Want better energy naturally? Reach out! This is what we are good at! You don’t need to suffer!

I’ve never been in the military, I’ve never been in a war torn country, or been away from my family for extended periods of time so I can only imagine what that must be like for so many woman and men who’ve chosen to serve our country. What I have seen is how positive it can affect and how devastating it can be to individuals, families, and friends. The joy of new beginnings, lives brought into focus, pain of separation, PTSD, even death has in some way affected my life as I’ve comforted, prayed with and loved on my friends and family in the military. I am so thankful for the sacrifices these people made to keep us safe. I honor you. I pray for you and I am thankful for you.
