Top nutrients for lung health 👇

October is lung health month, so I’ve been talking a lot about the power of breath.

But you can also support your lungs through food and nutrients!

Your lungs do so much more than just move air in and out of your body (like detox and immune function), and they need nutrition to do their job.

These nutrients offer long-term support for lung health:

🥦 Antioxidants (C, E, beta-carotene) → support immune function in lung tissue
🌿 Magnesium → relaxes bronchial muscles
🧄 Sulfur compounds (garlic + onions) → support detox and fight oxidative stress
🍵 Green tea (EGCG) → support immune and lung health
🫐 Flavonoids (berries, colorful fruits) → protect lungs from environmental toxins

These are general suggestions, but the best nutrient support is specific to you.

Breathing through your nose does way more than we give it credit for:

✔️ Filters, warms, and humidifies air before it hits your lungs
✔️ Produces nitric oxide, which supports oxygen delivery and immune health
✔️ Helps you sleep better (vs. mouth breathing, which can cause fatigue and dry mouth)
✔️ Long-term mouth breathing is linked to cavities and dental issues

Some people experiment with mouth taping at night as a gentle nudge toward nasal breathing. It’s not for everyone, but it can be helpful when used under practitioner guidance.

Take a second right now to notice your breath.

Are you a nose breather…or a mouth breather?

When practiced intentionally, your breath can calm stress, improve focus, and support digestion, hormones, and mood.

🔹 4-7-8 Breathing
Inhale for 4 → Hold for 7 → Exhale for 8
Best for calming anxiety + winding down for sleep

🔹 Box Breathing
Inhale 4 → Hold 4 → Exhale 4 → Hold 4
Perfect for focus during work or overwhelm

🔹 5-Finger Breathing
Trace each finger as you breathe in and out
A kid-friendly way to ground yourself in seconds

These practices work because they stimulate the vagus nerve, helping your body shift into parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) mode.

There’s a lot of confusion around protein sources, but here’s the latest news👇

A study of nearly 16,000 adults found that eating more animal protein wasn’t linked to a higher risk of death.

✨ Surprisingly, people who ate more animal protein actually had a slightly lower risk of dying from cancer.

So what does this mean?

The bigger picture matters.

What’s most important when it comes to dietary choices is quality and balance—not fear of one entire category of foods.

This study was observational, meaning it cannot prove cause and effect. But the evidence supports that animal protein can be part of a nutrient-dense, longevity-supporting way of eating.

So instead of stressing about “should I eat meat or not,” focus on quality:

🥩Grass-fed beef, pasture-raised poultry, wild-caught fish

And pair those protein sources with plenty of colorful fruits and veggies 🥗

Ever catch yourself sighing all the time? That might be your body telling you something. As a type A personality, I need that constant reminder to slow down and breathe. I started checking in with myself and paying attention to me breathing and I often find myself doing one of these daily. It’s made a difference!

We tend to think of stress as mental.

But your breath sometimes gives clues before your mind catches up.

Here are subtle ways stress might be showing up in your breathing:

▪️Sighing frequently
▪️Holding your breath without realizing it
▪️Feeling like you can’t get a deep breath
▪️Fast or shallow breathing (even at rest)

These changes occur automatically, making breath a sensitive indicator of what’s happening in your nervous system.

Here’s the fun part:

Because breath both responds to and can influence stress, it can also be a powerful tool to regulate stress.

By changing how you breathe, you can send signals back to your nervous system that you are safe.

My challenge to you:

Pause the scroll and take 5 seconds right now to check in on how you’re breathing.

Figured I shouldn’t post this on a Monday! 😉 Sunday scaries are a real thing! New research shows that Monday stress leaves a biological imprint that can linger for months.

In a study of 3,500+ older adults, researchers found:

✔ Those who felt anxious on Mondays had 23% higher cortisol levels in their hair
✔ The effect lasted up to 2 months
✔ Even retirees were pre-programmed to experience Monday stress
✔ This may help explain why heart attacks spike by 19% on Mondays

In functional nutrition, we have powerful tools to assess and balance the stress response.

We look at how stress hormones affect everything from blood sugar to immune health and mood.

So if you’re feeling wired, tired, or anxious at the start of the week?

Comment CURIOUS and we’ll share how we can support your stress response as a root cause 🧡

Short answer:

Yes BUT…

Natural pain relief doesn’t just come in a bottle.

Your body already has a built-in pain relief system powered by chemical messengers like endorphins, GABA, serotonin, and more.

You can support them naturally:

✨ Laughter → endorphins
✨ Omega-3s → endocannabinoids
✨ Hugs → oxytocin
✨ Yoga → GABA
✨ Sunshine → serotonin

Plus, you can target the root causes of pain with:

🫚 Curcumin, ginger, or omega-3s (support the inflammatory response)
🍵 Magnesium or chamomile (support muscle relaxation)
🧘‍♀️ Reishi and ashwagandha (support the stress response)

Natural tools aren’t a quick fix.

They’re a long-term strategy for those tired of a band-aid approach.
