Let’s talk about sugar and your child’s immune system…
because this part nobody tells parents.

When your kid eats sugar, their immune system actually slows down.
Like… literally gets distracted.

For about 4–6 hours after a sugary snack,
their white blood cells —
the little ‘germ fighters’ —
can’t do their job as well.

So what does that look like?
More runny noses.
More coughs.
More ‘why are we sick again?!’
Longer recovery times.

And no — this doesn’t mean sugar is evil.
It just means their body has to work harder
every time they spike and crash.

Kids already have tiny immune systems
trying to keep up with school germs, sleep schedules, and life.
Sugar just throws extra chaos into the mix.

Want to support their immunity?
Start with blood sugar balance:
• more protein with snacks
• pair carbs with fiber
• go easy on sugary drinks
• add fruit instead of candy
• whole food first, treats second

Balanced blood sugar =
calmer moods
better immunity
less sickness
and a kid who actually feels good. 💙

🎄 What if this year… the holiday conversation wasn’t about your weight? 🎄

Imagine sitting down to Christmas dinner and—for the first time ever—
Aunt Shirley doesn’t hit you with:
“Sweetie… have you tried cutting carbs?”
or
“My friend lost 30 pounds drinking pickle juice!”

Instead, she squints at you and goes,
“Wait… why do you look so good? Are you in love or something?”

Nope, Shirley.
Just taking care of myself…
and also minding my own plate this year. 😌🍽️

Let’s make the holiday talk about anything OTHER than your body for once.
Like politics.
Just kidding—please no. 😉

Have you ever been told your child will never do something… just because they’re autistic?
Yeah… that’s not the whole story.

Because when we look deeper — really deeper — we can often find a reason why.

Why focus is hard.
Why meltdowns feel like they come out of nowhere.
Why sleep is a battle.
Why speech and connection don’t come as easily.

Functional medicine keeps asking “why?”
Again and again… until the pieces finally make sense.

We look at things like:
• Folate metabolism (that’s the FRAT test)
• Nutrient imbalances that shape brain chemistry
• Gut inflammation that impacts behavior
• Mitochondrial or immune dysfunction that drains their energy

Autism isn’t one cause.
It’s a collection of systems asking for support.
And when we support the body…
the brain can finally start to function the way it was designed to.

That’s why I created the Illuminate Autism Program —
to bring hope, answers, and a clear roadmap to parents who know their child is capable of more.

Because you don’t need to “fix” your child.
You just need to understand what their body is trying to tell you. 💙

Okay… can we talk about the moms who swear they’ve “tried everything” for weight loss but are living on caffeine, kid leftovers, and sheer survival mode?
I get It. I am you. 😂❤️

If your metabolism feels stuck, your hormones are loud, and your energy has gone missing like that one sock in the dryer — you are NOT crazy. And you are not broken.

You just need a plan that actually makes sense for your body.

Because you deserve to feel at home in your body again.

At NSFH, we offer root cause analysis to find out WHY you are feeling the way you do, plus solutions to help you get back to feeling like you. These include natural weight loss options like MICC injections as well as GLP-1 medications. Message me to get started or visit www.northstarfh.com.

So many people are told they have IBS and sent on their way with medications or vague advice to change their diet.
But IBS isn’t just a diagnosis — it’s a symptom that something deeper is going on in the gut.

This is a real GI-MAP test from a patient who struggled with years of bloating, unpredictable bowels, and abdominal pain. Nothing seemed to help — until we looked deeper.

This stool test measures gut bacteria (good and bad), yeast, parasites, viruses, inflammation, digestive enzymes, and even markers for leaky gut. 🧫
For this person, we found bacterial imbalances, low beneficial flora, and inflammation — all of which were driving IBS symptoms.

Once we knew the why, we could finally create a plan that actually worked:

✅ Target the imbalances
✅ Support digestion
✅ Heal the gut lining
✅ Rebuild healthy flora

If you’ve been told “you just have IBS” and are tired of living with daily gut issues, there is another way. Functional testing helps you stop guessing and start healing. Comment REAL HEALING below for more info.
