Important Update: Peptide Science Shuts Down with upcoming FDA changes.

Peptide Science, a prominent provider of injectable peptides, has voluntarily ceased operations.

Personally, I never embraced the peptide trend for several reasons (to name a few):

1) Lack of clinical trials 2)Misrepresentation of FDA approval in the market: Insulin is a peptide and has many benefits a "wolverine" stack has many contraindications and side effects 3) Potential for immunogenicity

Although peptides naturally occur in the body, injectable peptides are synthesized and interact with your cells. Your body can detox and can heal but at times extra support is needed.

The body is a complex system and unique to the individual and should not be viewed as a computer or machine looking for an override sequence. Our bodies are not designed for "biohacking"; instead, we should nourish them by providing natural precursors, cofactors, and nutrients for optimal support.

While opposing synthetic forms of "biohacking" may be unpopular, I firmly believe in advocating for the body, mind, and spirit through energetic foods, plant medicine, and love.

Reach out f you are interested in learning more about traditional holistic options to nourish and optimize wellness.

It’s going to be cold with temperatures and wind chills that most residential heating systems are NOT designed for.

- Newer homes may struggle to maintain set temperature

- Older homes may not maintain temperature at all, even while the system is running continuously

- Indoor temperatures may gradually drop, and this can be normal under extreme conditions

What You Can Do to Help Your Heating System:

- Increase your thermostat 2–4 degrees above normal before the coldest temperatures arrive

- Remove programmable thermostats from setback mode and place them on permanent HOLD

- Replace your furnace or heat pump air filter

- Keep garage doors closed as much as possible

- Limit opening exterior doors

- Ensure supply and return vents are not blocked or obstructed

For High-Efficiency (90%+) Furnaces:

-Keep intake and exhaust pipes clear of ice and snow

-These are typically two white PVC pipes located on the side or back of your home (sometimes on the roof)

Do NOT go on your roof to clear them do not walk outside if unsafe. Goahead and get a clear path and tarp so tarp can be removed for a walk path (is not 100% and extreme caution needed with ice)

If Your Home Temperature Is Dropping: don’t panic

- In extreme cold and wind chill, homes may not recover temperature until outdoor conditions improve

- Set your thermostat to HOLD at desired heat and gradually increase… don’t overwork your system.

Extra Tips:

- Cooking soups or stews and boiling water can help add humidity and warmth. But not a reliable heat source and if power is out and you have a gas stove or gas fire place … YOU HAVE to have proper ventalation to prevent oxygen depletion.

DO NOT use ovens or grills to heat your home nor use them inside your home.

Portable Generators need to be outside the home.

Some information is from a post by Russell HVAC and was originally posted in Cherokee connection. I do not know the company however, information is valuable.

A few tips for this crazy storm heading this way:

If roads are not passable and pipes burst make sure you know where your shut off valves are.

Keep a dry area to walk your dogs and prevent their paws from getting too cold. Lay a tarp down anchored with rocks or other tonight. When safe remove and have hay ready to toss out on area.

DIY easy ice melt: 1 Gallon of water 1T dish soap and 1/2 +cup of alcohol. Mix /shake and pour on walkway. Won’t immediately freeze.

Warming areas for barn cats use hay NOT blankets. Blankets hold the cold and straw will insulate.

Have your family and neighbors number handy. For your elderly neighbors: Go ahead and set up an emergency signal so they or you can communicate (if no cell service for some reason) if help is needed.

Be safe, stay warm and stay away from trees. Keep the fur babies safe and warm. Remember, ice is dangerous for a sled … play it safe and keep your kiddos safe. Bicycle helmets!
