Hello! I am Brittany Heyden and I have been in healthcare for over 20 years.

🩺Functional Medicine NP
🌿 Vitality Strategist for High-Achieving Women
🧬 Root-Cause Energy | Hormone Balance | Embodied Confidence
🔗 Be Exquisitely You, Inside & Out After battling for nearly a decade with health problems, I discovered and fell in love with functional medicine. I had to dig deep to determine the root cause of my health issues and knew if the healthcare system had failed me, it was likely failing others. I returned to school to become a nurse practitioner and study functional medicine so I could help women find the root cause of their health problems and reclaim their lives! My mission is to renew energy and mental clarity, revive health and vitality, and restore cellular function so you can live a vivacious life!

If you woke up feeling:
bloated, tired, puffy, dehydrated, overstimulated, or emotionally drained…

You didn’t “fall off.”
You’re human.
You enjoyed Christmas.
And your nervous system worked overtime.

Here’s how to recover with compassion — not punishment:
✨ 1. Hydrate before anything else
Minerals restore adrenal balance and reduce bloating.
✨ 2. Prioritize protein at your first meal
Stabilizes blood sugar + resets cravings.
✨ 3. Move slowly
A walk, stretching, or gentle mobility brings your body back online.
✨ 4. Reduce stimulation
Less noise, fewer screens, softer lighting.
Let your nervous system unclench.
✨ 5. Add fiber + greens
Support detox pathways without restriction.
✨ 6. Don’t starve yourself
Restriction spikes cortisol and worsens symptoms.

The goal isn’t to “undo” the holiday.
The goal is to recalibrate your biology and return to balance.
Your body is incredibly wise, let her recover with softness.

Merry Christmas, my friend. ♥️

Today, give yourself permission to simply be.
Not to perform.
Not to manage everything.
Not to hold all the emotional weight.
Just… be.

This day isn’t about productivity.
It’s about presence.
It’s about gratitude.
It’s about remembering that the greatest gift is connection,
with God, with your family, and with the woman you are becoming.

Your worth is not measured by how much you accomplish today.
It is measured by the love you embody and the light you bring.

May peace cover you.
May joy find you.
May rest restore you.
May God’s grace meet you exactly where you are.

Merry Christmas, beautiful soul.
May this season fill you with renewal.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’m extremely selective about the tools I recommend.
Because supplements should be strategic, not random.

These are the products I’ve watched transform my clients’ energy, sleep, hormones, and resilience this year:
⭐ 1. Magnesium Glycinate
For deep nervous system relaxation, muscle recovery, and restorative sleep.
⭐ 2. Omega-3 (High-Potency EPA/DHA)
Anti-inflammatory support + brain clarity for women under high cognitive load.
⭐ 3. Electrolyte Minerals (no sugar)
For adrenal support, hydration, and sustained energy — especially in stressful seasons.
⭐ 4. Spore-Based Probiotics
For gut integrity, immune support, and reduced inflammation.
⭐ 5. Adrenal Adaptogens (Rhodiola + Ashwagandha blend)
For cortisol rhythm repair and stress resilience.
⭐ 6. Mitochondrial Support (CoQ10 + PQQ)
For women who feel depleted, foggy, or “slowed down” biologically.

These aren’t “wellness trends.”
They’re foundational tools that support the systems women rely on the most.

Your health is the greatest investment you can make going into the new year.
Choose tools that truly strengthen you, not just add to the noise.

As women, we prepare everything for the holidays… except our own nervous system.

We plan the meals.
Wrap the gifts.
Set the tone.
Hold the emotional energy of the entire household.
But your biology carries the weight of the season just as much as your mind does.

And this week, it’s especially important to remember:
You can love your people deeply
and still protect your energy fiercely.

Because when your nervous system is overstimulated, it shows up as:
• irritability you can’t explain
• emotional sensitivity
• trouble sleeping
• feeling “too full” mentally
• reaching for sugar or caffeine
• anxiety in social settings
• exhaustion that doesn’t match what you physically did

This isn’t weakness, it’s physiology.
Your system is trying to keep up with the intensity of the season.

So here is your permission slip as Christmas Week begins:
✨ Step outside when the house gets loud
✨ Take the longer shower
✨ Say no without apology
✨ Eat to nourish, not to regulate emotions
✨ Give yourself pockets of stillness

Your family doesn’t need a woman who is running on fumes.
They need a woman who feels safe, centered, and replenished.
And that starts with honoring your biology.

The Energetic Shift Before Christmas

The days before Christmas carry an energetic shift your body feels deeply, even if you don’t.
More darkness.
More emotion.
More pressure.
More nostalgia.
More expectations.
More disruption to routine.

Your biology responds with:
✨ melatonin changes
✨ circadian disruption
✨ cortisol instability
✨ increased emotional sensitivity
✨ cravings
✨ fatigue
✨ overstimulation

This is not you “being dramatic.”
This is seasonal physiology interacting with holiday demand.

Your body needs:
🌙 slower mornings
🌙 early light exposure
🌙 grounding foods
🌙 steadier blood sugar
🌙 emotional softness
🌙 less sensory overload
🌙 earlier sleep
🌙 more grace

Your biology feels the season change before your mind does.
Honor it.

Healthy boundaries aren’t emotional luxuries, they’re biological necessities.

When your boundaries collapse during the holidays, your body feels it immediately:
• cortisol spikes
• inflammation rises
• blood sugar destabilizes
• sleep worsens
• mood becomes unpredictable
• cravings intensify
• overwhelm skyrockets

Your biology is begging for containment.

Here are boundaries that protect your health:
🌿 “I’m not available right now — I’ll circle back later.”
🌿 Leaving events early when your nervous system is saturated
🌿 Not explaining your “no”
🌿 Eating the way your body needs, not the way others expect
🌿 Resting before you crash
🌿 Protecting morning rhythms
🌿 Avoiding emotional labor that drains you

Boundaries stabilize your hormones as much as your relationships.

You can’t regulate your body while dysregulating your life.
The more you protect your energy, the more present, generous, grounded, and peaceful you become.

Most women don’t hit one big burnout.
They hit dozens of tiny ones.
Especially in December.
I call this micro-burnout stacking.

Here’s what it looks like:
• emotional bandwidth running thin
• increased irritability
• everything feels like “too much”
• trouble switching between tasks
• feeling behind even when you’re not
• waking up tired
• losing patience quickly
• decision fatigue by noon

This isn’t lack of resilience.
This is mitochondrial overload.

Micro-burnout happens when:
🔥 your nervous system never fully resets between stressors
🔥 your energy output exceeds energy production
🔥 your inflammation quietly increases
🔥 your sleep becomes less restorative
🔥 your internal stress chemistry never clears

Women blame themselves for not “handling things better,”
but it’s not a mindset issue.
It’s a capacity issue and capacity is biological.

Micro-burnout is reversible.
When you nourish mitochondria, stabilize cortisol, and create micro-rest periods, your energy begins to regenerate again.

This season doesn’t require more effort.
It requires more replenishment.

12/15/2025

You’re not overwhelmed by “holiday stress.”
You’re overwhelmed because your cortisol is overstretched.

This season adds pressure in ways your nervous system feels immediately:
• more decisions
• more people
• more expectations
• more sensory overload
• less routine
• less sleep
• less regulation

Your biology doesn’t label this as “Christmas.”
It labels it as chronic demand.

Here’s what that looks like in real time:
✨ irritability that comes out of nowhere
✨ feeling overstimulated in stores
✨ craving silence
✨ emotional reactivity
✨ exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest
✨ nighttime anxiety or racing thoughts
✨ sugar + caffeine cravings

This is not a weakness.
This is your HPA axis saying, “I’m doing everything I can to keep up.”

When cortisol becomes dysregulated, everything feels harder:
🧠 focus
❤️ emotional tolerance
💤 sleep
🍽 cravings
🔥 energy
🌿 gut function

And here’s the truth:
Your body is not failing you, it’s protecting you.
It’s adapting to the pressure you’ve been carrying for months (or years).

The solution is not willpower.
It’s regulation, nervous system support, nourishment, rhythm, micro-rest, and stabilizing your internal environment so your biology feels safe again.
Your capacity expands the moment your body stops fighting for survival.
If this feels like you, you’re not alone.
This is the season where your body asks for softness, not performance.
