๐Ÿง  Protect Your Brainโ€ฆ What if your nighttime routine is quietly increasing your stress levels? ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

What you read, watch, and do before bed matters more than you think!
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป Weโ€™ve normalized scrolling, Netflix, and even horror movies as a way to โ€œunwindโ€ - but what if theyโ€™re actually keeping your brain in a stressed state? AND making it worse!

In this conversation with Jules Vasquez ( ), we talk about:
โœจ Why reading physical books can act like a mini vacation for your brain
โœจ How dreaming supports mental health and clears the brain
โœจ Why your nighttime habits impact your stress, hormones, and sleep quality
โœจ And how intense content (like horror movies) may be doing more harm than you realize

If your nervous system is already under pressure, what you consume at night matters!!

And sometimes the simplest habits like reading a book before bed, can be the most powerful. ๐Ÿ“–

Dreaming isnโ€™t random!
Itโ€™s one of the most important processes for your brain and mental health.

During sleep, your brain is:
โ€ข consolidating memories
โ€ข processing emotions
โ€ข working through unresolved thoughts
โ€ข accessing the subconscious

Itโ€™s like a built-in โ€œpsychotherapy sessionโ€ that happens every single night.

And when this process is disrupted by stress, poor sleep habits, or constant stimulation -you donโ€™t just feel tiredโ€ฆ You feel mentally and emotionally off/disturbed.

In this clip, and I talk about how dreaming allows you to process thoughts and emotions you may not even feel safe expressing consciously.

This is why protecting your sleep and what you expose your brain to matters more than most people think. ๐™Ž๐™ก๐™š๐™š๐™ฅ ๐™„๐™Ž ๐™ฃ๐™ช๐™ข๐™—๐™š๐™ง 1.๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

๐Ÿง›๐Ÿป Most people think watching horror movies is harmless. But your nervous system doesnโ€™t know the difference between real danger and what youโ€™re watching on a screen.

In this clip of my newest interview, explains a study where participants were exposed to a horror film and the physiological stress response was very real. And didnโ€™t vanish once the movie or a group left the room.

Even if you feel fineโ€ฆ your body is still responding.

This matters more than you think ๐Ÿ’ญ especially if youโ€™re already dealing with fatigue, anxiety, or hormone imbalances.

Your inputs shape your biology. ๐Ÿ’ฏ %

These at-home tests are not meant to diagnose adrenal or thyroid conditions.

But they can be a helpful way to better understand how your body is responding.

They give you insight into patterns and build awareness - and thatโ€™s often the missing piece before jumping to testing or treatment.

I talk more about the remaining tests and how to use them (and what to look for) in the full video on my YouTube channel.

If youโ€™ve ever wondered whether you have โ€˜adrenal fatigueโ€™โ€ฆ this is a good place to start.

โ€œAdrenal fatigueโ€ is something I hear from so many womenโ€ฆ And while the symptoms can look a little different for everyone, there are some common patterns I see over and over again - and even a few that tend to get missed. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

In this video, I walk you through:
โ€ข the more common (and less common) signs
โ€ข what your body might be trying to communicate

We also go through the first two tests:
1) Basal body temperature
2) Orthostatic HR (lying to standing) test

including how to do them properly and what to look for.

โ€œAdrenal fatigueโ€ is one of the most common things I hear from womenโ€ฆ

If you feel:
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป low motivation and issues focusing on individual tasks
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป exhausted all day every day - feeling like you have nothing left in the tank โ›ฝ๏ธ
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป crashing in the afternoon and or needing a nap
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป struggling to recover from workouts
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป or relying on caffeine and sugar to get through the day
Your body is giving you signals!

Here are 7 simple at-home tests that can give you clues:
โœ”๏ธ Basal body temperature - low temperatures and feeling you are colder, especially in the afternoon could be your adrenalโ€™s asking for help.
โœ”๏ธ HRV (heart rate variability) - this number shows how well you are recovering during sleep. The lower your HRV, the more stressed your body is and struggling to recover.
โœ”๏ธOrthostatic Test ๐Ÿฉธ - Check heart rate (or BP) lying down โ†’ then standing
What to look for:
โ€ข Big heart rate jump or drop
โ€ข Dizziness when standing
โœ”๏ธ Pupil response - Shine a light right beside your eye and watch the pupil.
What to look for:
Pupils should constrict. If the pupil flutters or struggles to stay constricted for longer than 10 secs then this can indicate adrenal issues.
โœ”๏ธ Breath hold (COโ‚‚ tolerance) - Take a normal breath in, and hold it for as long as you can.
What to look for:
Short hold time (

I had a really interesting conversation with Jeff T. Bowles about the idea of โ€œwinter genesโ€โ€ฆ

The concept is that many modern diseases could be the body stuck in a primal survival state - due to low sunlight, low vitamin D, low energy availability.

And itโ€™s an interesting theory.

Could this be the cause of many autoimmune disease?
What about the conditions women disproportionately suffer from?

If this idea holds any weight, it shouldnโ€™t just explain a handful of diseasesโ€ฆ it should explain the pattern weโ€™re actually seeing. Including things like immune dysregulation, inflammationโ€ฆ even conditions like glaucoma.

I donโ€™t know if itโ€™s that simple. But I do think thereโ€™s something here worth exploring - just with more nuance.

Shamrocks aka Clovers boast a pretty impressive nutrient profile. As kids in Ireland ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช we would search out shamrocks and chew the stems - they are sour and sweet at the same time. Little did we know we were getting some great nutrients including;
โ˜˜๏ธ antiinflammatory photochemicals like isoflavones and polysaccharides. These isoflavones have also been shown to reduce .
โ˜˜๏ธ quercitin which supports immunity and helps with histamine reactions.
โ˜˜๏ธ rich in vitamin C.
โ˜˜๏ธ high in fiber.
โ˜˜๏ธ there are also studies showing that supplementing with clover can reduce cholesterol and triglycerides .

So maybe skip the shamrock shake today and try adding some clover sprouts to your salad or smoothie instead. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Many people think thyroid problems start in the thyroid.
But what if part of the story begins in the mitochondria? ๐Ÿ’ญ

In this clip I asked integrative physician whether Methylene Blue could potentially support thyroid function because of its effects on mitochondrial energy production and its anti inflammatory properties.

While this hasnโ€™t been directly studied for thyroid disease, he explains that improving mitochondrial function may:
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป Support thyroid hormone conversion
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป Reduce oxidative stress
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป Potentially lower thyroid antibodies by reducing inflammation

Itโ€™s an emerging area of discussion and research that I find fascinatingโ€ฆ especially because so many of us (more than the statistics show) have some sort of thyroid issue.

Had you ever heard about the mitochondriaโ€“thyroid connection before? ๐Ÿค”

Many people believe their exhaustion is coming from their adrenal glands. But the adrenals are not the command center of your stress response.

Your brain and nervous system are.

The hypothalamus and pituitary in the brain control the stress response through what is called the HPA axis (Hypothalamus โ†’ Pituitary โ†’ Adrenal) ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป the central nervous system.

Your adrenal glands simply respond to the signals they receive. So when youโ€™re dealing with chronic stress, emotional strain, or long periods of mental overload, the issue often begins upstream in the nervous system, not in the adrenal glands themselves.

Think of it like this:
Brain & Nervous System = Command Center
Adrenal Glands = Hormone Factory

When the nervous system is overwhelmed, it sends repeated stress signals to the adrenals, which then release adrenaline, cortisol and other stress hormones.

Hereโ€™s a clearer breakdown;
1. Adrenal Stress (โ€œAdrenal Fatigueโ€)โ€ฆ
This refers to the hormonal output of the adrenal glands, especially adrenaline and cortisol.

The adrenals produce cortisol, adrenaline, norepinephrine, and DHEA.

When people talk about adrenal fatigue, theyโ€™re usually describing dysregulated cortisol rhythms, such as:
โ€ข high adrenaline (wired, anxious, poor sleep)
โ€ข low cortisol (exhausted, hard to get going)
โ€ข flattened rhythm (tired most of the day)

Common signs can include: afternoon crashes, caffeine reliance, poor stress tolerance, blood sugar swings, and sleep disruption.

But remember, the adrenals are responding to signals from the brain. ๐Ÿง 

2. Central Nervous System Burnoutโ€ฆ
The brain, hypothalamus, pituitary, and autonomic nervous system control the HPA axis (Hypothalamus โ†’ Pituitary โ†’ Adrenal).

When the nervous system is overwhelmed from chronic stress or emotional strain, symptoms can include:
โ€ข feeling wired but exhausted
โ€ข brain fog
โ€ข poor sleep
โ€ข feeling easily overwhelmed

In this case, the brain is driving the stress response, and the adrenals are simply responding.

Does that make sense? ๐Ÿ™‚
