🧺 Most people do not think twice about what is in their laundry detergent, but those fresh scents and bright colors often come with a hidden cost.

Many mainstream detergents contain ingredients like synthetic fragrances, dyes, and harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin, disrupt hormones, and even affect your immune system over time. When you wash your clothes, those residues stay on your fabrics and sit against your skin all day long. 😬

👕 Your skin is your largest organ, and it absorbs much of what it comes into contact with. That means what you wash your clothes in matters more than most people realize.

The good news is there are plenty of safer, cleaner options out there. 🌿 You can find healthy laundry products and see how your current brand rates at www.ewg.org/skindeep a great resource for checking ingredients in everyday household items.

Small swaps like this make a big difference for your long-term health. 💚

Roger came to us after being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. His hands and wrists were stiff and swollen, mornings were painful, and even holding a coffee cup or typing at work became a challenge. Fatigue and frustration had started to take over his days.

When he went to his primary doctor, he was told to take medication, rest, and try physical therapy. He followed all the advice but still wasn’t feeling better. The swelling and stiffness persisted, and his energy never came back.

That’s when he reached out to The Wellness Way. Instead of only managing symptoms, we started asking why his body was inflamed in the first place. We ran testing to look at:
✔️ Food sensitivities and allergies
✔️ Inflammatory blood markers
✔️ Nutrient deficiencies and digestive health
✔️ Other hidden triggers that can fuel autoimmune reactions

Once we understood what was driving the inflammation, we built a plan to support Roger’s immune system and help his body heal naturally. Over time, the swelling decreased, his energy returned, and he started feeling like himself again.

💡 The takeaway: Rheumatoid arthritis is complex, but there is always more to the story. Medications can help with symptoms, but understanding what is driving your inflammation can change everything.

If you are living with pain, fatigue, or inflammation, it is time to take a deeper look. Let’s start rebuilding your health from the inside out.

🥦🍎 Want your food to last longer?

They may have skipped this in Home Ec, but it DOES matter where you store your food. Some fruits release ethylene gas...a natural ripening hormone...that can make nearby veggies wilt, spoil, or go bitter faster than you think.

📌 Pro Tip: Keep ethylene-producing foods separate from sensitive veggies and greens. A little space = fresher food, less waste, happier fridge. 🥗💚

🍒 Meet Schisandra: The “Five-Flavor Berry” That Does It All! 🌿

If berries had a superhero… it would be Schisandra! 💪

This tiny red berry from East Asia has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries — and for good reason. Known as the “five-flavor berry,” Schisandra tastes sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and spicy all at once. (Basically, it’s a flavor adventure in every bite! 😅)

Schisandra is one of the most powerful adaptogens — meaning it helps your body adapt to stress, boost energy, and bring you back into balance when life gets crazy.

🧠 Supports focus, memory, and brain function
💃 Helps balance female hormones
⚡️ Boosts stamina and endurance
💖 Protects your liver and adrenals
🔥 Fights inflammation and oxidative stress

Curious how adaptogens like Schisandra could help balance your stress and hormones? We can help you find out.

Understanding Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis & What You Can Do 🌀🧠

If you’re dealing with unexplained fatigue, weight changes, brain fog, or low mood, your thyroid might be trying to tell you something.

Check out this insightful article on Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis — what it is, how it affects your body, and natural strategies you can begin exploring today.
👉 Link: https://www.thewellnessway.com/hashimotos-thyroiditis/

Let’s get better informed and empowered about our health. 💛

The thyroid has become a hot topic organ, recently. Problems with thyroid function are a common issue, especially Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

10/16/2025

A patient recently told me, “I asked my doctor to run a full thyroid panel, but they said they already check it with TSH, T3, and T4.”

That’s where so many people get stuck. Those numbers only give a small part of the picture.

What about the rest of the thyroid markers? Things like thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO), thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb), and reverse T3 (rT3). Without those, we’re missing key details about how your thyroid is actually functioning.

Without a full thyroid panel, you won’t know if:

Your immune system is attacking your thyroid (autoimmunity)

Your body is converting T4 into the wrong kind of T3

You have inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, or liver stress affecting thyroid balance

Your thyroid hormones are being blocked or bound instead of used by your cells

When we look at all the markers together, the story becomes clear — and that’s when true healing can begin. 💛

If you’ve been told your thyroid labs are “normal” but you still don’t feel like yourself, it might be time to run better labs.
