DAY 15 of 30 đź’— HORMONES AND YOUR VAGUS NERVE

Hormone swings do not always mean something is wrong with you.

Sometimes your nervous system is just stuck in stress mode.

Your vagus nerve helps calm the body and may support steadier cortisol, blood sugar, sleep, and energy.

Do your own research, and always talk with your healthcare professional before changing your plan.

DAY 14 đź’ś BRAIN FOG AND YOUR VAGUS NERVE

Brain fog is not always about laziness or lack of motivation. Sometimes it is a sign that your body has been stuck in stress and your brain is struggling to shift back into calm and focus.

Your vagus nerve plays a big role in that process. Better vagal tone may support calmer stress signals, deeper sleep, better gut-brain communication, and clearer thinking over time.

This is education only, not medical advice.

If this helped, save it, share it, and comment FOG. đź’ś

DAY 13 đź’™ METABOLISM & YOUR VAGUS NERVE

Cravings and energy crashes are not always about lack of discipline. Your vagus nerve helps regulate signals around hunger, fullness, and blood sugar.

Better vagal tone may support steadier energy, calmer cravings, and better balance.

Most people think weight loss is about calories or willpower.

But there is actually a powerful connection between your liver and the hormone GLP-1, which plays a huge role in appetite, cravings, blood sugar, and metabolism.

Tonight’s Detox Divas call is diving into the connection that most people never hear about.

If you’ve ever struggled with cravings, stubborn weight, or metabolic issues, this conversation might open your eyes.

I’ll be tuning in tonight and thought some of you might want to listen too. 💚

DAY 12 đź’š Vagus Nerve & Immune Health

Something I’ve been learning through this vagus nerve series is how connected our stress, nervous system, and immune health really are.

When our body stays in stress mode too long, vagal tone can drop. That can leave inflammation quietly smoldering in the background and make it harder for the body to fully repair.

When the vagus nerve is supported, the body can shift back into rest, repair, and reset mode — where our immune system works much more efficiently.

This isn’t about a quick fix. It’s about supporting the body the way God designed it to function. 🌿

Some people are also exploring matured hop bitter acids for gentle gut-brain vagus support. As always, do your own research and talk with your health care professional.

🌿 DAY 11 – Low Mood & Your Vagus Nerve

Sometimes feeling flat or overwhelmed doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.

It may simply mean your nervous system is stuck in protection mode.

Your vagus nerve helps the body shift from stress → rest and repair, supporting calmer heart rhythms, better gut-brain communication, deeper sleep, and emotional recovery.

Some researchers are also exploring matured hop bitter acids for gentle gut-brain support and healthy vagal tone.

✨ The good news: your nervous system can rebalance.

🌿 Welcome to My Healthy Lifestyle Page

If you’re here, chances are you’re looking for natural ways to feel better, have more energy, and support your body the way God designed it to heal.

As a certified health coach, I love sharing simple tools that help people improve their health naturally.

One of the most important systems in the body that people rarely talk about is the vagus nerve.

Your vagus nerve is like the communication highway between your brain, gut, heart, and immune system.
When it’s working well, your body can move into rest, repair, and healing mode.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been sharing a 30-Day Vagus Nerve Education Series inspired by the work of Dr. Kareem Griffith.

He created a Quick Starter Guide that summarizes the key things everyone should understand about vagus nerve health.

Inside the guide you’ll learn about:

✨ Stress and calming the nervous system
✨ Brain fog, mood, and focus
✨ Gut and immune system communication
✨ Heart health and circulation
✨ Simple daily habits that support healing

đź“„ You can download the free guide here

I’m grateful for leaders like DrKareem Griffith who help educate people about how the body works.

Here on this page I regularly share:

🌿 natural wellness tips
🌿 detox and metabolism support
🌿 nervous system health
🌿 essential oils
🌿 non-toxic skincare and lifestyle products
🌿 faith-centered wellness

I truly believe our bodies were fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and when we support them properly, amazing things can happen.

Thank you for being here.

Sometimes it’s not a lack of discipline…

Your vagus nerve may simply be exhausted.

A few simple habits that support the nervous system:

✔️ Keep a steady sleep schedule
✔️ Take slow nose breaths in the morning
✔️ Eat slowly and pause between bites
✔️ Sit or stand tall for better breathing
✔️ Sip water throughout the day
✔️ End the day with gratitude

Small habits can help the body shift back toward calm and repair.

Comment HABITS if this resonates. đź’™

Cholesterol… the REAL story?

I recently got my blood work back and my total cholesterol was 237.

Years ago the “normal” range used to go up to 300, but over time the guidelines have been lowered to 200… and some experts believe they may lower it again.

Something interesting many people don’t realize:

Your body makes cholesterol for a reason.

It’s used to:
• Build hormones
• Repair cells
• Support the brain
• Help fight infections

And as we age, the body may produce more cholesterol because repair needs increase.

That doesn’t mean we ignore our health — but it does mean looking at the full picture, not just one number.

For example, doctors now also look at things like:
• HDL (“good” cholesterol)
• Triglycerides
• Inflammation markers
• Blood sugar

Health is always about context, not just a single lab result.

I’m continuing to focus on what I know works:
✨ clean nutrition
✨ liver support
✨ healthy fats
✨ movement & sunshine
✨ stress reduction

The body is incredibly wise when we support it naturally.

What have you been told about cholesterol over the years? 🤔

🌿 DAY 9 – Clues Your Vagus Nerve May Be Run Down

Ever feel tired, bloated, or wired even when your labs look “normal”?

Your vagus nerve connects your brain, gut, and immune system. When it’s under stress, the body can struggle to stay in rest-and-repair mode.

A few clues it may need support:

• Feeling full or bloated after small meals
• Waking up tired even after enough sleep
• Sensitivity to noise or bright lights
• Cold hands and feet
• Catching every bug that goes around

If several of these sound familiar, your nervous system may be asking for support.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been studying something fascinating — the vagus nerve.

It’s a single nerve that connects the brain, heart, lungs, gut, and immune system.

When the vagus nerve is functioning well, the body can move out of constant “fight or flight” stress and into rest, repair, and recovery.

Simple daily practices may support vagal tone, such as:

• calming music
• warm caffeine-free drinks in the evening
• gratitude practices before sleep
• gentle stretching or relaxation
• reducing constant stimulation

What I find most encouraging is this:

Our bodies are not broken.
Sometimes they just need the right signals to feel safe again.

I’ll be sharing a few insights as I continue learning about the connection between the nervous system and whole-body health.

One of the tools mentioned here includes matured hop bitter acids, which are being studied for their role in supporting vagus nerve activity, sleep, mood, and metabolism.

Health Coach Ruthie

Hello my name is Ruthie Daugherty! Until two years ago I was working for Fred Smith @ Fedex Corp as a Courier! In 2016 I heard that we could retire at 55 years old and draw a pension. That really got my attention; since I was turning 55 that year in July. I immediately started making plans to switch careers! In the beginning I loved my J.O.B (just over broke) not until the last few years of my 20 year career; did I realize I had no Life! Fedex controlled my Life in every aspect. Sixty hours was the most we could work in a week; and that happened often. It was impossible to have a relationship with friends & family; especially around Christmas! I was always working; trading time for money! No Time Freedom!

Just as I was about to finish my on-line course with Health Coach Inst. and be Certified as a Health Coach; the Coffee fell in my lap!!!! Perfect Timing..all of my practice clients were struggling with Weight Loss and they all drank coffee! I jumped all in without even tasting the coffee, because I trusted my daughter and Amy Rawson! I was able to sell my Business Builder Pack, made $273 profit in less than 2 weeks! I’ve been sharing our coffee for 2-1/2 years now and have changed many Lives!! I also drink my coffee for FREE! I found my calling; I love being able to help people look & feel their best in more ways than one! The Coffee is just one of my many tools in my tool box! I Thank God everyday that Amy thought of me; I now get paid upon my efforts and the sky is the limit!
