🧠🫀 Did you know high blood sugar can quietly speed up ageing—even if you don't have diabetes?

I've just published a new article on Substack exploring how chronically high glucose affects your brain, heart, and lifespan—and what simple, science-backed steps you can take to reverse the damage (with compassion, not perfection 💙).

A Virus That Lets You Have Babies—and What It Teaches Us About Aging

Here’s something wild: your ability to be born at all depends on a retrovirus that became part of human DNA millions of years ago. Without it, we couldn’t form a placenta—and mammals as we know them wouldn’t exist.

What’s even more fascinating is what this tells us about how adaptable our biology really is.

Our bodies are constantly evolving, repairing, and repurposing. Understanding these hidden mechanisms—like viral genes that turned into vital functions—can help us reframe how we think about aging, degeneration, and even healing.

I wrote about this strange and hopeful story here:

Biology isn’t just about decline. It’s about reinvention. And that’s good news for all of us who care about staying healthy as we age.

📆 Would You Want to Live to 150? Here's My Take…

We’re being told that AI and biohacking can make extreme longevity a choice. Some people are already planning to live to 200.
But I have a question:

👉 What’s the point of living longer… if you’re not living well?

In my latest article, I dive into the wild promises of data-driven health, the myth of doing it all “perfectly,” and why I don’t think living to 150 should be the goal (with a cameo from Walt Disney’s frozen head 😅).

Instead, I offer a simple way to use the science without losing the joy.

🚨 Is your health being sabotaged by a lie? 🚨

You’ve probably never heard of neoliberal economics—but it’s quietly shaped your stress levels, your back pain, your guilt about resting, and even how you see yourself.

It’s the belief that we’re all rational, self-interested economic machines—and that our only value is what we produce.

But what if that’s a mean little lie?

In my latest article, I explore how this flawed worldview hurts not just society, but your health. As a chiropractor and health coach, I believe healing means seeing the full picture—including the invisible systems shaping our lives.

🌿 "Something just clicked..."

That’s what one of my clients said after trying the Personal Wellness Plan.

She’d tried all the usual things before – calorie counting, daily weigh-ins, cutting out foods – and just felt confused and frustrated by it all.

But with a simple, personal plan, everything changed.
✅ She found herself eating less (without trying)
✅ Craved fewer snacks and sweet things
✅ Started walking more
✅ And began losing weight steadily – without guilt or willpower battles

Why did it work so well?
👉 Because it was tailored to her.
Her goals. Her body. Her life.

Your plan will be completely different – because you’re different.
That’s exactly why it works.

No fads. No calorie counting. No pressure. Just practical support that fits your life and helps you feel better in your body.

💬 If you’ve been feeling stuck or overwhelmed by all the conflicting health advice, this might be exactly what you need.

A study by cardiologists at UT Southwestern and Texas Health Resources reveals that regular exercise can reverse damage caused by a sedentary lifestyle and aging heart — provided it begins before age 65.

Researchers found that exercising four to five times a week significantly improved heart function, increasing oxygen intake by 18% and enhancing the heart’s elasticity by 25%.

This regimen, tested over two years, included moderate-intensity sessions, high-intensity intervals, and strength training. Those who followed this structured routine experienced significant cardiovascular improvements compared to a control group engaged in yoga and balance training.

Dr. Benjamin Levine, lead researcher and Director of the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine, emphasized that exercise should be viewed as essential as daily hygiene. The study highlights that sedentary aging stiffens the heart’s left ventricle, reducing its ability to pump blood efficiently, potentially leading to heart failure. However, consistent aerobic and strength training exercises can restore heart elasticity—if started in middle age.

The findings, published in Circulation, reinforce that maintaining an active lifestyle can be a powerful tool in preserving heart health and preventing age-related cardiac decline.Proper exercise can literally reverse heart damage.

🌿 Struggling with "Mystery Illnesses"? The Root Could Be Your Vagus Nerve! 🌿

If you’ve been battling stubborn stomach issues, chronic bloating, or unexplained fatigue, you’re not alone. Many of these so-called "mystery illnesses" may actually be linked to vagus nerve dysfunction—the nerve that connects your brain and gut, regulating everything from digestion to stress.

✨ The good news? You can take control! With simple daily practices like breathing exercises, cold exposure, and even humming, you can stimulate this vital nerve and potentially relieve your symptoms.

🚀 Ready to learn how? Click the link below to discover what causes vagus nerve dysfunction and the 6 powerful ways to improve your health naturally:

Is Your Health Provider Helping You—or Just Trying to Sound Smart? 🤔

Ever left a doctor, chiropractor, or physical therapy appointment feeling more confused than when you walked in? You’re not alone. Medical jargon like radiculopathy, subluxation, or disc extrusion may sound impressive, but is it actually helping you understand your body—or just keeping you dependent on the "expert"?

Here’s the truth: simplicity isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign your provider truly understands the problem and wants you to understand it too. Don’t settle for confusion. Take control of your health. 💪
