Vitamin D is one of the most common deficiencies I see in both kids and adults.

And it’s not just about bones.

Vitamin D plays a role in:
• immune system strength
• mood and mental health
• energy levels
• muscle function
• inflammation regulation
• brain development in kids
• hormone health

Low vitamin D can show up as:
• frequent colds or infections
• autoimmune conditions
• fatigue or low motivation
• muscle aches or weakness
• low mood or anxiety
• poor focus in kids

What about “normal” levels?

Most labs say vitamin D is normal at 30 ng/mL.
In functional medicine, we often aim for 50–80 ng/mL for optimal immune and neurologic support (individualized, always).

Can you get enough naturally?

Sun exposure helps—but modern life makes this hard.
Food sources are limited and include:
• fatty fish (salmon, sardines)
• egg yolks
• cod liver oil
• fortified foods

That’s why deficiency is so common—even in people who “eat well.”

Vitamin D is foundational.
For growing kids.
For exhausted adults.
For anyone who wants their body to work better.

If this made you stop scrolling—
save it, share it, and follow for real health education.

Starting the new year with another PaleoCleanse to start the new year off right! I’m using this program to reset my gut, hormones, and energy. Last year when I did this program I noticed:

✨ better sleep
✨ more consistent energy (no afternoon crash)
✨ fewer sugar cravings
✨ improved digestion
✨ less bloating
✨ less joint pain
✨ lost 6 pounds

This is not medical advice, and detox or nutrition programs aren’t one-size-fits-all. You should always work with a qualified healthcare provider to determine what’s appropriate for your body and health history.

If you’re a current client in Michigan or are interested in this detox kit, message me 💙

✨Getting ready for a branding session today ✨

Wondering what I do?

I help women who “look fine” but feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, or stuck.

I help parents who are digging for answers for their kids but are lost in the medical world.

We go deeper than basic labs—because surface-level answers aren’t enough when you’re trying to understand what’s really going on.

🧠 brain & mental health
🦠 gut health & inflammation
⚡️ fatigue, brain fog, and burnout
🧬 hormones and underlying root causes
🧩 autism & neurodevelopment support

No bandaids. No gaslighting.
Just thoughtful testing, real explanations, and a clear plan forward.

Because navigating your own health while advocating for your child—especially if they have autism or special needs—is exhausting.
Your kids deserve you feeling well, not just pushing through.

If this hit home…
✨ follow for real, evidence-based health education
✨ repost so another woman/parent feels less alone

Hope for your health 🤍

New year.
Same responsibilities. Same pace. Same full calendar.

If January already feels full, you’re not behind — you’re human. Most people don’t get a clean slate or a slow start. Life keeps moving.

What can change this year is how supported your body feels while you’re doing it all.

Better energy so you’re not running on fumes.
A calmer nervous system so stress doesn’t control everything.
Real answers for symptoms you’ve been told to “just live with.”

Health doesn’t have to be perfect to be prioritized.

At North Star Functional Health, we help people build sustainable health in real life — not in an ideal, quiet season that never actually comes.

If this is the year you stop ignoring your body and start working with it, you’re in the right place.

Here’s to a year of progress, healing, and moving forward — together. 🤍✨

Everyone talks about new goals this time of year.
But a lot of bodies are just tired.

If you’re not motivated, not energized, not “locked in” yet —
that’s not a flaw.
That’s a nervous system that’s been on high alert for too long.

This year doesn’t need more pressure.
It needs support.
And that’s a valid place to start.

Check out Lexie-FunctionalMedicine NP’s post.

We’re taught to push until the finish line.
To dig deeper. Try harder. Power through.

But when your body has been living in fight or flight, “finishing strong” can actually mean staying stuck.
Stuck tired.
Stuck inflamed.
Stuck anxious.

Maybe this year doesn’t end with more effort.
Maybe it ends with rest.
With grace.
With letting your nervous system finally unclench.

Healing doesn’t start when you do more — it starts when your body feels safe enough to slow down.

For years, fat was blamed for everything.
Butter. Eggs. Bacon.
Meanwhile, sugar quietly made its way into everything.

What most people never learned:
Decades ago, sugar companies funded research that downplayed sugar’s role in chronic disease and shifted attention toward fat. That message shaped food guidelines and grocery shelves for generations.

And here we are—
📈 Rising obesity
📈 Blood sugar issues at younger ages
📈 Metabolic disease becoming “normal”

The solution isn’t complicated.
Eat real food.

Food that looks like it came from a farm.
Food with ingredients you recognize.
Food that nourishes your hormones, brain, and metabolism.

Home-grown bacon isn’t the enemy.
Ultra-processed food pretending to be “healthy” is.

So keep it simple.
Choose real food.
Honor your body.
And yes…

🥓 Eat the bacon.
