Scented garbage bags may seem harmless, but the added fragrances are made from chemicals your body has to process. For some people, especially those who are sensitive to toxins, these fragrances can trigger headaches and other symptoms.

If you have trouble detoxifying—sometimes linked to genetic factors like MTHFR—your system may struggle even more with everyday chemical exposures. Choosing unscented products is an easy way to reduce your toxic load, whether you notice symptoms or not. Small swaps like this can make a big difference over time.

Cold & flu season is the time to support your immune system proactively—not reactively.

A mushroom complex is a powerful way to do that. Functional mushrooms are known for supporting immune health, helping the body respond to stress, and promoting overall resilience. Many blends also include lion’s mane, which is especially beneficial for focus, cognitive function, and mental clarity—making it a great option for those with ADHD or brain fog.

Adding a quality mushroom complex to your routine can support immunity and brain health all in one simple step. As always, consistency matters, and choosing a well-formulated blend makes all the difference.

The holidays can be a perfect storm for your body—more sugar, more processed foods, less routine, and a whole lot of stress. When nutrition takes a back seat, your nervous system and energy levels often feel it first.

That’s why support matters this time of year. B vitamins help your body manage stress and support energy, especially when holiday eating isn’t exactly nutrient-dense. Magnesium plays a role in hundreds of biochemical processes and can help with muscle tension, sleep, and overall relaxation.

Movement doesn’t need to be intense to be effective. A brisk walk, fresh air, or a short gym session can help regulate cortisol, clear your head, and support digestion—especially during a busy season.

If the holidays feel overwhelming, you don’t have to power through alone. Small, consistent choices can make a big difference, and we’re here to support you now—and help you reset when January comes around.

Join the Supercharged Cleanse from January 19th to February 1st. Call 248-213-1332 to register.

Not all fish oil supplements are created equal and bigger isn’t always better.

Large bottles can take months to finish, and fish oil is highly sensitive to oxidation. Once it oxidizes, it doesn’t just lose benefits—it can actually increase inflammation instead of reducing it.

Another issue is quality control. If fish oil isn’t tested regularly for oxidation at the manufacturing level, it may already be oxidized before it ever reaches the shelf. At that point, it’s no longer supporting heart, brain, or joint health.

When choosing fish oil, freshness, proper storage, smaller batch sizes, and third-party testing for oxidation matter far more than bottle size or price.

Fish oil should reduce inflammation, not add to it.

As the seasons shift and daylight decreases, it’s common to notice changes in mood, energy, and motivation. This is often linked to seasonal affective disorder (SAD) or seasonal low mood.

Certain nutrients can help support mood during the darker months. Ingredients like 5-HTP help support serotonin production, L-theanine promotes calm focus, and methylated B vitamins support nervous system and brain health—all working together to support emotional balance.

⚠️ Important note: 5-HTP should NOT be taken if you are already on an antidepressant.
If you are on an antidepressant, options like saffron may be a safer mood-support alternative.

Mood support isn’t one-size-fits-all. The right approach depends on your symptoms, medications, and individual needs. If you’re unsure what’s best for you, make an appointment with me.

As temperatures drop, supporting your immune system becomes even more important. One of the easiest ways to do that is through vitamin C–rich foods.

Citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruit are well-known sources, but kiwi is a true powerhouse—often containing even more vitamin C per serving. Vitamin C helps support immune function, antioxidant protection, and overall resilience during cold and flu season.

Don’t forget that immune support isn’t about one nutrient alone. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables provides a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that work together to keep your body strong.

If your hemoglobin A1C is elevated, but your daily blood sugar readings are normal (or even low) there may be more going on than blood sugar alone.

One often-missed marker is ferritin, which reflects your body’s stored iron. Ferritin isn’t always included in standard lab panels, but low levels can signal iron deficiency, which can falsely elevate A1c levels.

Iron deficiency affects red blood cells, changing how long they circulate in the body. Since A1c measures how much glucose attaches to red blood cells over time, this can lead to a higher A1c even when glucose levels are well controlled.

This is why context matters. Elevated A1C isn’t always about insulin resistance or diet alone. Iron status, autoimmune conditions, and other underlying factors should also be considered.

If your labs don’t tell the full story, it may be time to look deeper—not just harder.

Should you take all your supplements at once or space them out throughout the day? The answer depends on what you’re taking and why you’re taking it.

Some supplements, like a B-complex, can be split into multiple doses to provide steady energy and support throughout the day. Other times—like when you’re working to raise a low level (such as B12)—taking it all at once can help get those levels up more efficiently.

Timing matters too. Certain supplements, like ashwagandha, are best taken at specific times of day to support natural cortisol shifts, mood, and energy levels.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Your symptoms, goals, and supplement stack all play a role. If you’re unsure when or how to take your supplements, a personalized consult can help take the guesswork out and make sure you’re supporting your body the right way.

Our upcoming January 2026 cleanse was carefully curated and tested to support your body, not overwhelm it. The goal isn’t deprivation or pushing toxins too fast. It’s gentle, effective detox support that helps improve gut health, brain clarity, energy levels, and nutrient balance.

This program is designed for people dealing with things like bloating, constipation or diarrhea, brain fog, low energy, blood sugar imbalances, or simply feeling “off.” We focus on nourishing meals you’ll actually enjoy, fewer supplements to avoid fatigue, and systems that make eating and planning easier — so your brain can rest between meals, too.

We're here to guide you every step of the way and tell you exactly what to expect. No guessing. No suffering. Just thoughtful support to help you feel better, clearer, and more energized. Because feeling good should be the point.

Built Bars have been getting a lot of buzz, so let’s look at what’s actually inside. They’re not the cleanest ingredient-wise, so think of them as a treat rather than a daily staple. But the macro breakdown is impressive: 17g of protein, 140 calories, and just 13g of carbs, which makes them a solid option when you want something sweet that still supports your goals.

Use them intentionally, enjoy them in moderation, and always check ingredients to make sure they align with your health needs.
