If your stomach issues seem unpredictable and your energy never feels steady, it may be more than simple food sensitivity. It could be Celiac disease.

Celiac disease occurs when the immune system reacts strongly to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Over time, this reaction damages the small intestine and makes it harder for your body to absorb nutrients. Many people live with symptoms for years without realizing gluten is the trigger.

Common symptoms include:
• Ongoing abdominal pain
• Fatigue or energy crashes
• Diarrhea or loose stools
• Heartburn or indigestion
• Nausea and vomiting

Celiac disease is more than a digestive problem. It can affect energy levels, mood, nutrient absorption, and long term health. Ignoring symptoms often allows inflammation to build and makes healing more difficult.

At Yost Wellness Center, we focus on identifying the root cause through Functional Medicine testing, gut healing strategies, and a personalized nutrition plan. When the gut begins to repair, symptoms often improve and the body becomes more resilient.

If your symptoms keep coming back and you know something is off, you deserve answers. Healing begins with understanding what your body is reacting to.

What if the areas that never seem to change are not about effort, but about how your cells are functioning?

Many people eat well, move consistently, and still struggle with stubborn areas around the waist and hips. This is often tied to cellular energy, inflammation, and metabolic signaling rather than willpower alone.

Red Light Therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of light that support mitochondrial function. When your cells produce energy more efficiently, the body can better regulate inflammation, recovery, and metabolic activity. Research has shown that when red light therapy is paired with healthy lifestyle habits, there can be small but measurable changes in waist and hip circumference for some individuals.

This is not a shortcut or a stand alone solution. It is a supportive tool that works best when combined with proper nutrition, movement, and a personalized Functional Medicine approach.

At Yost Wellness Center, we use Red Light Therapy as part of a bigger picture plan. Our goal is to support your body at the cellular level so your healthy habits finally have the impact you expect.

If you feel like you are doing everything right but not seeing results, it may be time to look deeper at how your body is functioning.

Dr. Google may call leaky gut controversial — your symptoms say otherwise.

Dr. Heather Yost explains it simply: your gut lining is meant to be selective. When those protective junctions break down, bacteria, toxins, and food particles can leak into the bloodstream and trigger an immune overreaction.

That chronic immune response is often behind joint pain, brain fog, skin issues, fatigue, and autoimmune symptoms.

If you’re tired of guessing and want to know whether leaky gut is driving your health issues, schedule a consultation through the link in our bio.

If you feel like your body is slowing down and nothing seems to help, there may be a deeper reason. Hashimoto’s could be affecting your thyroid more than you realize.

Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid, gradually reducing its ability to keep your metabolism, energy, digestion, and mood balanced. These changes often appear slowly, which makes them easy to overlook until they start affecting everyday life.

Some of the most common symptoms include hair loss, dry skin, constipation, depression, joint stiffness, puffy eyes, and unexplained weight gain. Many people blame stress or aging, but these symptoms are often your body’s early warning signs that your thyroid is struggling.

The real challenge with Hashimoto’s is that it is not only a thyroid problem. It is an immune problem. Inflammation, gut imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and adrenal stress can all contribute to flare ups.

At Yost Wellness Center, we look beyond basic thyroid labs to uncover what is driving your symptoms. By addressing the root causes and supporting your immune system, many patients begin to feel clearer, lighter, and more like themselves again.

If you have been searching for answers, you deserve a plan that finally makes sense for your body.

Think red light therapy is just another wellness trend?
In the winter, it can be a lifeline for your cells.

Dr. Heather Yost explains why this therapy becomes especially powerful when sunlight disappears.

Less light means slower mitochondria — the energy centers inside your cells.
Red light therapy helps recharge them, increasing ATP and restoring cellular energy.

But the benefits don’t stop there.

It helps calm winter-driven inflammation.
It supports thyroid function when cold weather suppresses it.
It boosts serotonin to support mood.
And it speeds recovery when your immune system is under constant pressure.

This isn’t about luxury or spa treatments.
It’s about giving your body the signals it’s missing during winter.

Patients often notice:
• Better sleep
• Less joint pain
• Improved mood
• Fewer sick days

If winter hits you harder than it should, this may be the anchor your body needs.

Before the year ends, take one honest moment to ask yourself this question. What do you no longer want to carry into 2026?

Is it fatigue that steals your mornings?
Digestive issues that control your days?
Hormone symptoms that leave you feeling unlike yourself?
Or pain and inflammation that hold you back from the life you want?

Whatever it is, your body has been signaling for change. And you deserve to step into the new year with clarity, support, and a real plan to feel better.

When you understand what your body needs, everything becomes easier. Your energy improves. Your digestion stabilizes. Your hormones balance. Your mind feels clearer. You feel more like you.

2026 can be the year you take back your health instead of just managing symptoms.
You do not have to do it alone. Your path forward can begin now.

What do you want to overcome in 2026?

Your labs say you’re fine, but your body says otherwise.

Dr. Heather Yost explains why “normal” blood work can still leave you exhausted, foggy, and frustrated.

Standard lab ranges are built from averages of sick populations — not from what the body needs to function at its best.

Here’s what often gets overlooked:
• A TSH of 3.5 may be labeled normal, but optimal thyroid function is typically below 2.0
• Ferritin at 30 passes the test, yet levels closer to 70+ are often needed to support energy and hair health
• Vitamin D at 32 is called adequate, but immune and metabolic function usually require much higher levels

This is why so many people are told “everything looks fine” while still dealing with crushing fatigue, brain fog, and unexplained weight gain.

Your symptoms aren’t imaginary.
They’re information.

When testing is interpreted through a functional medicine lens, patterns start to make sense — and real answers appear.

If you’re ready to stop accepting normal labs while feeling terrible, comment BOOK below and we’ll help you uncover what’s really going on.

Thanks for the 5 star review and for trusting us with your wellness! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I have FINALLY found what my body needs through Yost Wellness Center. I am about halfway into the four month program and I’ve noticed many good changes along the way. My hot flashes have significantly decreased, my energy level has increased and I am slowly dropping the weight. I was a little worried about being able to stay on track with my food choices but I never feel hungry. Making sure I’m getting the protein I need helps me feel satisfied.

Thanks Yost Wellness for improving my life!"

Dr. Heather Yost shares why nonstop winter illnesses usually have a deeper cause.

If you seem to catch everything going around, it’s often not your immune system “failing” — it’s your gut struggling.

Nearly 70% of immune activity is regulated through the gut. When the microbiome is off, seasonal factors hit harder than they should.

Shorter days mean less sunlight and lower vitamin D.
That drop weakens the gut lining, allowing inflammatory compounds to pass through and strain immune defenses.

Layer in holiday stress, higher sugar intake, and less movement, and beneficial gut bacteria decline while harmful ones gain ground.

The result?
Recurring colds, slow recovery, lingering coughs, and constant fatigue.

These patterns are signals, not coincidences.

Rather than guessing, testing your gut microbiome can help identify what’s actually driving those repeat infections.
