Breaking the Silence on Domestic Violence in Ohio 🔦

Ohio recorded 157 domestic violence-related fatalities between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025 — a staggering 37% increase from the previous year. Read more here:https://www.odvn.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/ODVN_Newsletter_November2025_Article1.pdf

Here in Muskingum County, one life was lost this year — a woman tragically killed in a murder-suicide by her abuser. It is a heartbreaking reminder that domestic violence impacts families right here at home.

Key findings from ODVN’s 10th Annual Fatality Report:
• Guns were used in 84% of these fatalities.
• 69% of victims had recent contact with the justice system (divorce, custody, child-support, etc.).
• 40 of the cases were murder-suicides.
• Among primary victims killed: 61 women, 13 men — and 56% were people of color.
• Among perpetrators: 56 men and 6 women.

📢 These numbers are not just statistics, they represent irreplaceable lives, grieving families, and communities forever changed.

We must continue advocating for safety, awareness, and stronger protections for those experiencing abuse.

💜 At Transitions, Inc., we are committed to supporting survivors across Muskingum, Morgan, and Perry Counties and working with our partners to prevent further tragedies.

Did you know that your nervous system sends clear signals when it’s under strain? Irritability, short temper, or that feeling of being “on edge” are often the first indicators of dysregulation, frequently driven by blood sugar instability.

I love this post by .holistic.psychologist - it’s a perfect example of food as medicine and the profound connection between metabolic health and nervous system regulation.

When your blood glucose drops rapidly or fluctuates dramatically, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to compensate. This triggers your sympathetic nervous system (your fight-or-flight response) which manifests as irritability, anxiety, or emotional reactivity.

Here’s how to reset:

🥩 Eat protein or healthy fats to slow glucose absorption and prevent the spike-and-crash cycle that keeps your nervous system in overdrive

🚶🏼Take a brisk walk to activate your parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest), improve insulin sensitivity, and help clear stress hormones from your bloodstream

Your nervous system can actively regulate through nutrition, movement, and metabolic awareness.

Pay attention to your body’s early warning signals, and you’ll prevent the downstream effects of chronic dysregulation: inflammation, poor sleep, weakened immunity, and metabolic dysfunction.
