Understanding Your Nervous System Could Change Everything About Your Health 👇

Ever feel like you know what to do for your health… but your body just won’t cooperate?

That’s not a lack of discipline.
That’s your nervous system.

🧠 Polyvagal Theory, developed by Stephen Porges, explains how your body constantly scans for safety—and shifts into different states that impact your:

• Sleep quality
• Stress levels
• Digestion
• Hormones
• Emotional regulation

✨ There are 3 key states:

🔹 Ventral Vagal (Safe & Connected)
You feel calm, present, and able to rest.
➡️ This is where healing, recovery, and quality sleep happen.

🔹 Sympathetic (Fight or Flight)
You feel anxious, wired, overwhelmed.
➡️ Great for short bursts of stress… not for living there.

🔹 Dorsal Vagal (Shutdown/Freeze)
You feel exhausted, numb, unmotivated.
➡️ Often mistaken for “laziness” but it’s actually protection.

⚠️ Here’s the truth most people miss:
You can’t “out-discipline” a dysregulated nervous system.

As a PN1 Stress, Sleep, and Recovery Coach, I help clients:
✔️ Identify their current state
✔️ Build awareness of triggers
✔️ Use body-based tools to return to safety
✔️ Create an environment where sleep and recovery actually happen

Because real health isn’t just about habits…
It’s about whether your body feels safe enough to sustain them.

Food doesn’t have to be complicated to be deeply nourishing.

This salmon bowl checks so many boxes for balanced nutrition:

🐟 Protein & omega-3 fats from salmon support brain health, inflammation balance, and satiety.
🥕 Colorful vegetables provide fiber, antioxidants, and micronutrients.
🥒 Crunch + hydration from cucumbers and peppers helps support digestion.
🌱 Seeds & seasoning add minerals and healthy fats.

Meals like this help stabilize blood sugar, support energy, and keep you full longer.

Healthy eating isn’t about perfection — it’s about building meals that work with your body.

If you’re trying to figure out what balanced nutrition looks like for YOU, that’s exactly what we do in integrative health coaching.

Feedback I often heard working as a CMA:
A patient leaves their doctor’s office with a new diagnosis…
and a lot of unanswered questions.

Not because the doctor doesn’t care.
Not because the patient didn’t ask.

But because appointments are short, information is complex, and processing a diagnosis can be overwhelming.

Many patients walk out wondering:

• What does this actually mean for my day-to-day life?
• What changes should I start making?
• What questions should I ask at my next appointment?
• How do I put all of this together?

This is where health coaching can make a difference.

As an integrative health coach, a big part of my role is patient advocacy and support.

I help clients:

• Understand their diagnosis in practical terms
• Organize questions for their healthcare providers
• Translate recommendations into daily habits and lifestyle changes
• Create a realistic roadmap forward

Health coaching does not replace medical care—it supports patients in navigating it.

When patients feel informed, prepared, and empowered, they are far more likely to succeed in improving their health.

Healthcare works best when patients feel like they have a guide, not just a diagnosis.

Have you ever left a medical appointment wishing you had asked more questions? That’s exactly where I come in. 💚

Unlike many commercial breads, homemade bread typically avoids preservatives, added sugars, and highly processed oils. Sourdough fermentation can also enhance digestibility and mineral absorption by reducing phytic acid.

Overall, homemade bread can be a balanced, nutrient-supportive carbohydrate source — especially when made with whole grains and minimally processed ingredients. Living in the Aiken Augusta area? Grab some from this lovely lady!

Hello all! We are a microbakery that specializes in organic products for the Aiken-Augusta area. We are currently providing porch pick-ups. Please be on the lookout for upcoming dates on our Facebook and Instagram pages!

Strix Integrative Health Coaching LLC.

This business was born from the belief that health is not about extremes — it’s about regulation, patient education , and informed choice.

I created Strix for those who want more than surface-level advice. For those who want clarity, empathy, and evidence based solutions. And support that actually respects their lived experience.

Integrative health means we look at the whole picture — nutrition, hormones, stress, sleep, mindset — and build a strategy that fits your real life.

I am deeply grateful to step into this next chapter and serve in this way.

Strix is open. And I cannot wait to begin. ❤️
