Did you know that the food you eat literally talks to your cells?

Food isn’t just fuel — it’s information that affects your:
🧠 Brain health
💪 Immune strength
❤️ Heart function
😌 Emotional balance

🌿 Diets rich in whole foods, healthy fats, lean proteins, and antioxidants are linked to:
✔ Lower risk of heart disease
✔ Less cognitive decline
✔ Better metabolic health
✔ Reduced inflammation

🚫 On the flip side, diets high in ultra-processed foods significantly increase the risk of stroke and cognitive decline.

At WildHeart Wellness Functional Medicine with Ann Johnson, RN, we teach food as medicine — one colorful plate at a time. "Eat the rainbow" isn’t a trend — it’s a proven path to repair, energy, and vitality.

Rest is not a luxury — it’s essential for your health. Your body isn’t built to run nonstop. Taking short breaks during the day and getting quality sleep at night help you think clearly, manage stress, and stay energized. When you rest, you don’t fall behind — you function better.

Short breaks and naps can:
• Boost alertness & energy
• Improve memory & learning
• Enhance focus & productivity
• Support mood, heart health & immunity

Love, connection — and hope — are medicine. 💜👫✨

We couldn’t agree more with Mark Hyman, MD. Research in sociogenomics shows that positive relationships and emotions actually change your gene expression — turning on healing pathways and turning off inflammation and disease.

When you experience love, connection, and gratitude, your body releases oxytocin and endorphins that calm your nervous system, lower cortisol, and promote longevity. 🌿

At Wild Heart Wellness Functional Medicine, we’d add this:

✨Hope is medicine too. ✨
Your emotions can heal or hurt — and hope is powerful enough to change your physiology, cells, and genes. Ready to start your healing journey? Contact us wildheartwellness.com or call (717) 786-3199 to schedule your FREE consultation today.

Did you know this? ⬆️

The field of sociogenomics reveals how positive relationships influence gene expression, turning on genes that repair cells and turning off genes associated with inflammation and disease.

When you experience love and connection, your body releases hormones like oxytocin and endorphins, which calm the nervous system, lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone), and promote anti-inflammatory pathways.

These hormonal shifts signal your genes to activate cellular repair and longevity mechanisms. Even physical touch, like cuddling, can boost oxytocin and enhance your immune system.

On the flip side, chronic stress, isolation, or conflict triggers the expression of pro-inflammatory genes, accelerating aging and increasing your risk of chronic illness.

Love and connection are powerful for health and longevity.
