As we move into fall, I always ask clients this question:
Is your body holding the charge through autumn/winter?

During summer, it's easy — long days, sun exposure, barefoot grounding, lake/ocean time, and fresh foods all recharge your body + nervous system. But when the days shorten and we lose extra light, many start to lose that "charge."

Kids often show it first — more meltdowns, restless sleep, emotional ups and downs, fatigue, or blood sugar imbalances.

Minerals shift seasonally too. Lower sunlight means lower Vitamin D, which changes calcium and magnesium balance, and the nervous system starts working harder to self-regulate.

So before labeling fall behavior changes as "just a phase", ask:
Am I supporting our light hygiene?
Am I supporting our light hygiene as a family unit?
Are we nourishing minerals daily?
Are we keeping rhythms that recharge instead of drain?

The seasons change but the body's foundation can stay steady.

Speech therapy is incredible, but it can only go so far if the brain's biochemistry is off.

Heavy metals like lead, mercury, and nickel hijack communication pathways in the brain. Sometimes, it's not about more therapy, but fixing the foundation.

Rebalancing the minerals and starting with an HTMA test allows us to see exactly what is triggering specific issues within your child and address them properly, not blindly. Tap the link in my bio to get started or schedule a discovery call with me to see if this is the testing your child could benefit from!

We've become addicted to noise. To scrolling, overstimulation, and undernourishment.

Detach from Dark Dopamine will be a space to reset, to return to presence, purpose, and peace.

I did a poll a week ago asking your thoughts on a monthly membership or course. I put together a form with a few questions to dive a bit deeper into the creation of this new experience.

💭I'd love your thoughts as I craft this space: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfOWZ57b0pA8-_jBKZBgBJ-xoFqbJw7c9ofFCSaqUFJ4-uZ0Q/viewform?usp=dialog

Copper doesn't just affect the body, it affects the soul. When copper rises, emotions dull. The person who was once vibrant, sensitive, and full of feeling becomes disconnected, flat, and numb.

HTMA testing reveals the mineral patterns behind this emotional shut-down and helps bring life back to the body again.

Women are not little men. Our hormones don't follow a 24-hour clock — we follow a 27-30-day rhythm (depending on your cycle).

With each phase, our metabolism, minerals, and micronutrients shift right along with them.

A 2018 study on menstrual cycle rhythmicity found many metabolites and nutrients fluctuating throughout a woman's cycle — meaning your body's nutrient needs literally change by the day.

So when we wonder why we feel amazing one week and exhausted and moody the next... it's not random.

Your minerals are the foundation of your hormones — over 70 hormones rely on mineral cofactors like zinc, magnesium, selenium, copper, and more to function properly. When they're imbalanced, so are we.

That's why functional testing matters. HTMA testing gives us a lens into your long-term mineral patterns, helping you align your nutrition, energy, and cycle with how your body is truly designed to function.

Most people talk about the microbiome but few realize there's also a mycobiome: the fungal ecosystem living in our gut.

A recent study compared 40 children with autism and 38 neurotypical children. The results? Children with autism had less beneficial Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in some cases, more Candida albicans. Those with the highest yeast imbalance also had more severe autism symptoms (higher ATEC scores).

Why this matters: Candida overgrowth doesn't just cause gut symptoms. It releases neurotoxins, competes for nutrients, and drives inflammation that affects the brain. Meanwhile, low S. cerevisiae weakens the gut lining, allowing inflammatory molecules to reach the brain.

In my practice, I see this pattern over and over in kiddos with autism:
High copper, low zinc
Sodium/potassium ratio imbalance
Poor detoxification
Poor gut health

Yeast is opportunistic and it grows in a terrain that's depleted. That's why killing it off without addressing mineral balance rarely works long-term.

If your child struggles with any of the symptoms on slide two, the answer may lie within their mineral status.
