Uti is not a hygiene problem. It is an estrogen and/or microbiome problem. Here's why 👇

🥣 McDonald’s Oatmeal vs 🌱 Homemade Chia Overnight Oats

McDonald's:
What is it made from?
Instant-style processed oats
Brown sugar + sweetened dried fruit
How it behaves in the body?
Digests quickly
Rapid blood sugar rise
Energy crash + hunger soon after
Macronutrient balance?
High carbs
Low protein
Minimal fat
Bottom line 👉 Convenient, but metabolically similar to sugary cereal

Homemade Chia Overnight Oats
What it’s made from:
Chia seeds
Rolled or steel-cut oats
Milk or nut milk
Optional: nuts, seeds, Greek yogurt, a touch of honey if you want sweetened
How it behaves in the body:

Slower digestion
Steady blood sugar
Sustained energy and focus.

Macronutrient balance:
High fiber
Healthy fats (omega-3s)

Why does this matter?
Stable blood glucose = better focus & mood
Fiber + fat = fuller longer
Less sugar = fewer cravings mid-morning
💡 It’s not anti-oatmeal.
It’s about choosing forms that work with your metabolism, not against it.
Best of all, it's super fast to make. No cooking!

One thing I remind patients (and myself) this time of year:

Your body is still doing its work, though:

Digestion may slow this week.
Sleep can feel a little off.
Routines get disrupted.
Stress level may be high.

All of this is normal.
It’s your body adapting during the holiday.

Be gentle with yourself today. 💛 A reminder for myself as well.

Morning light is not about vitamin D — it’s how your brain knows how much energy is available to run your body.
Without melanopsin signaling from the eyes to the hypothalamus, the system acts like a car with a broken gas gauge, downshifting thyroid output, s*x hormones, and daily energy to conserve fuel.
Light is information, and without it, hormones can’t communicate clearly no matter what supplements or medications you’re taking.
Deep nutrion matter. Calories matter. But light and darkness is foundational.

❄️ Winter Solstice | December 21 ❄️
The longest night of the year—and a quiet invitation to pause.
Winter Solstice marks a turning point.
From this day forward, the light slowly returns.
This season reminds us that
healing doesn’t come from
pushing harder—but from listening more deeply.
✨ Today is a beautiful time to:
❄️ Rest with nourishing
practices that soothe your nervous system, calm your mind, and support emotional harmony.
🏔️ Reset by clearing away what no longer serves you—simplifying routines, creating space, and allowing yourself to breathe a little easier.
Winter is not about doing more.
It’s about honoring stillness, restoration, and gentle intention.
🌙 Even in the darkest season, the light always finds its way back.
How are you honoring the Winter Solstice?

🎄Last night our pharmacy phamily got together for a Christmas bonding dinner at Osaka Sushi and let’s just say… there were skills unlocked 😆
👏 Shoutout to Sandy B for being brave and trying new food
🥢 Jenner = certified chopstick pro
🍣 Veronica leveled up her sushi-with-chopsticks game by the end of the night
🌱 Sandy and I shared our love of aged tofu😋
We see each other every day at work, but it’s so fun getting to laugh, eat, and make memories together outside of the pharmacy. So grateful for this crew ❤️.
Oh! The food was yummy 😋. Have you eaten there?

Yesterday, I shared my BEET challenge update — still no red after almost 56 hours. I have plenty of chia seeds. I had bowel movements. This is not the lack of fiber issues. What else? Here's one rarely talk about when we talk about digestive health. That's hormones!

Here’s how hormones influence gut movement 👇

🌸 Estrogen
Supports gut motility and bile flow.
As estrogen declines (hello peri- and post-menopause), stools can become slower, drier, and harder to pass.

🌙 Progesterone
This is a calming hormone — which is great for sleep and anxiety.
But it also relaxes smooth muscle, including the intestines, which can slow things down.

⚡ Cortisol (stress hormone)
When cortisol is high, digestion is not the priority.
Blood flow is redirected away from the gut, and motility slows — even if you’re eating “all the right foods.”

So if you’re constipated and thinking,

> “But I eat fiber and drink water…”
you’re not imagining things.

Sometimes the missing piece isn’t more fiber —
it’s hormonal balance.

Tomorrow, I’ll share gentle, hormone-friendly ways to support gut motility (without harsh laxatives).

Here's the update on my beets challenge: 👇It’s been almost 48 hours since I ate the beets — and guess what? I had 2 bowe...

Here's the update on my beets challenge: 👇

It’s been almost 48 hours since I ate the beets — and guess what? I had 2 bowel movements, BUT

No red. No beet. Nothing.

And before anyone panics (including me 😅), let's evaluate this for a second.

The BEET challenge isn’t a pass/fail test. It’s data.

For many people — especially women in peri- and post-menopause — gut transit can slow down because of things like:
• hormone shifts
• stress and cortisol
• bile flow
• hydration
• fiber quality (not just quantity)

So if the beet hasn’t shown up yet, it means the body is giving us a clue.

And this is exactly why gut health is never just about the gut.

Stay tuned… because tomorrow we’re talking about why hormones play a much bigger role in digestion than most people realize 💚
