Stress can feel like a never-ending cycle 😩

When life throws challenges our way, our bodies release cortisol, the stress hormone, which can throw everything off balance. Stress can show up in both your body and mind, with symptoms like:

🌸 Racing heart
🌸 Trouble breathing
🌸 Digestive issues
🌸 Headaches
🌸 Muscle tension
🌸 Mood swings
🌸 Difficulty focusing
🌸 Trouble sleeping
🌸 Constant fatigue
🌸 Hormone imbalances

Stress can come from work, relationships, nutrition, or even too much media. There are ways to manage it effectively, but the first step is understanding your unique situation.

Our office focuses on getting to the root cause of your health concerns so you can feel like yourself again 💚

Sometimes conventional healthcare advice just misses the mark. 🎯

Many people with obesity are told to simply eat less and exercise more, but this advice is often vague and not always backed by science. 🙄 Researchers at Oxford reviewed 159 consultations between patients and general practitioners and found that most discussions lacked practical, effective guidance for weight loss.

⏳ The problem is that our healthcare system focuses on disease rather than prevention. Nutrition education is limited in medical school, and doctors rarely have time to offer guidance on lifestyle and behavioral changes.

Our office takes a different approach. We create a personalized, science-based plan that addresses the root cause of your concerns while supporting long-term health and wellness. 🌱

Reach out to us today to learn how we can help you feel your best. 🙂

🍎 Today’s recipe is a delicious granola that’s perfect for breakfast or snack time! 🍎

Ingredients:

1 cup raw pecan halves or walnuts

1 cup raw almonds

1 cup raw cashews

1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

1 1/4 tablespoons apple pie spice or cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

3 tablespoons organic refined coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup dried apples, chopped*

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F and place a rack in the middle. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Chop the nuts by hand or with a food processor.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts, coconut flakes, flaxseed, apple pie spice, and salt. Stir well.

4. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Pour this over the nut mixture and stir until everything is evenly moistened. Do not add the dried apples yet.

5. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Use a silicone spatula to flip sections or gently stir the granola so it cooks evenly.

6. Re-spread the granola and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes until it turns a deep golden brown. About 3 minutes before the baking time ends, sprinkle the chopped apples over the granola to lightly toast them.

7. Remove the granola from the oven and cool on a wire rack until it reaches room temperature. It may feel soft at first but will become crunchier as it cools.

8. Break the granola into clusters and enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.

Enjoy your homemade granola! 🍏

🧐 Do you know the difference between health and wellness?

Health is your state of being. It includes physical, mental, and social aspects of life. To achieve whole-person health, we often break things down into smaller areas and take steps to improve each one. 🧩

Wellness is the journey of living a healthy and fulfilling life. It covers all the parts of your life that affect your well-being, from nutrition and exercise to mindset and daily habits. 🌟

Which is more important, health or wellness? ❤️ The truth is you need both. Health is the goal, and wellness is the ongoing process that helps you get there. Together, they create a life that is vibrant, balanced, and thriving.

Our team is here to help you integrate health and wellness into your everyday life. 💬 Reach out and start your journey today!

Do you feel stressed trying to eat the “perfect” diet? 🥪 It can be exhausting and take the joy out of eating.

If thinking about food constantly makes you anxious or unhappy, you could be experiencing orthorexia. ⚠️ Orthorexia nervosa is a type of disordered eating where someone becomes overly focused on eating “perfectly” or choosing only the highest-quality foods. ⚠️ This mindset can feel very rigid and all-or-nothing.

Diet culture often celebrates restrictive behaviors, which can make it hard to recognize when healthy habits have become harmful. Sometimes it takes stepping back from your usual community to see the bigger picture. 🌱

The difference between orthorexia and true healthy eating comes down to self-care versus self-control. 💛 Healthy eating should feel flexible, intuitive, and nourishing.

Ask yourself, “Did I enjoy a variety of foods and nutrients this week?” instead of obsessing over calories or grams. Gentle nutrition looks different for everyone, but generally it focuses on energy-boosting foods, a wide range of fruits and vegetables, and balanced meals that support your overall health. 🥦

If you or someone you know experiences anxiety around food, our office can provide holistic support and guidance. 📞
