💡 Depression is often a sign of imbalance, not a life sentence.

It’s not always genetic, and it’s not something you are powerless to change.

Imbalances can come from inflammatory foods, toxins, medications, stress, trauma, and life events. Taking a standard antidepressant can sometimes feel like silencing an alarm without addressing the fire. 🚨

❤️ 12 Potential Root Causes of Depressive Symptoms:
🦠 Infection-induced depression
😓 Long-term stress
🤝 Loneliness
💔 Trauma
🏢 Conflicts in work, social groups, or family
😢 Grief
💔 Romantic rejection
👶 Postpartum depression
☀️ Seasonal Affective Disorder
💊 Chemically-induced depression
🌱 Environmental toxins
🩺 Being diagnosed with a disease

Depression affects everyone differently.

💎 Selenium: a small mineral with big benefits!

Selenium is essential for many important processes in the body:

Supports fertility 🍀

Maintains thyroid function 🦋

Protects heart health ❤️

Supports brain and cognitive function 🧠

And much more! 🌿

🛡️ Selenium is also a powerful antioxidant, helping protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. You can get selenium from foods like brazil nuts, seafood, and organ meats. Keep in mind that plant-based sources depend on the soil they are grown in, so amounts can vary. 🌱

Sometimes diet alone isn’t enough to reach optimal levels. If supplementation is needed, it’s best to work with a holistic or functional practitioner to make sure your intake is safe and effective.

Our team can help you create a personalized plan to get the selenium your body needs. 📩

❤️ Your heart shows up for you every day. How are you showing up for it?

Heart disease continues to be one of the most common health concerns in the U.S., yet many risk factors are influenced by everyday habits. The good news is that small, intentional changes can make a meaningful difference over time.

✨ Simple ways to support heart health:

🥗 Nourish well
Choose whole foods like vegetables, healthy fats, and quality proteins to support circulation and cholesterol balance.

👄 Care for your mouth
Oral health matters more than you might think. Healthy gums support a healthy heart.

🚶‍♀️ Move daily
Walking, stretching, or light strength work all count. Consistency matters more than intensity.

🧾 Limit ultra processed foods
Supporting cholesterol levels starts with what is on your plate.

🚭 Skip to***co
Avoiding smoking protects blood vessels and improves overall circulation.

🌿 Manage stress
Rest, breathwork, and downtime help keep blood pressure in a healthy range.

💗 You do not need perfection. One supportive habit can create momentum toward better health.

If you are looking for a heart focused approach that prioritizes lifestyle, prevention, and whole body wellness, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

For years we’ve been told eggs raise heart disease risk. New research shows that for people with pre-diabetes or Type 2 diabetes, eggs do not increase risk when eaten as part of a healthy diet 🍳

Cholesterol isn’t the enemy. It’s essential for vitamin D, cell membranes, bile acids, and hormones like progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone ☀

HDL is the “good” cholesterol, LDL is the “bad,” and triglycerides rise with too much sugar, alcohol, or smoking 🍞🍩

More than total cholesterol, the size of your particles and your HDL to LDL ratio matters most.

Ask us how diet and lifestyle can support healthy cholesterol and lower heart disease risk ❤️

Ever wonder why squats show up in so many workout plans 🏋️‍♂️

Squats are often considered a foundational movement because they train the body to work as one connected system. Instead of isolating a single muscle, squats engage multiple areas at the same time and build functional strength you can use in everyday life.

Here is why this movement matters so much:

• Squats activate powerful muscles in the legs and hips while also engaging the core and upper body 💪
• They help improve balance, coordination, and body awareness by requiring control and focus 🧠
• Squats support bone strength and joint stability, especially as we age 🦴
• They mimic natural movements like sitting, standing, and lifting which helps reduce injury risk 🚶‍♀️

The best exercise routine is one that matches your body, goals, and current health status. What works for one person may not be right for another.

If you are ready to build strength safely or explore new ways to move your body, our team is here to help you create a plan that supports long term health and resilience. 🌿
