Iโ€™m being very intentional about this time. Working full-time, being a mom to busy kids, and running two businesses is no jokeโ€”and just like I tell my patients, self-care is not optional, itโ€™s foundational to your health. Rest, presence, and boundaries are part of healing too.

This is your reminder that prioritizing your nervous system, your family, and yourself isnโ€™t selfishโ€”itโ€™s necessary. ๐Ÿ’›

Your anxiety isnโ€™t just in your head.
And itโ€™s not a character flaw.

Most standard labs are designed to catch disease โ€” not dysregulation.

They donโ€™t show:
โ€ข a nervous system stuck in survival mode
โ€ข inflammation quietly irritating the brain
โ€ข blood sugar swings stressing your adrenals
โ€ข nutrient depletion from chronic stress
โ€ข gut imbalances sending signals straight to your brain

So when youโ€™re told โ€œeverything looks normalโ€ but you still feel on edge, wired, exhausted, or overwhelmedโ€ฆ that makes sense.

Anxiety is often a signal, not the problem itself.

And when we slow down and actually look at the whole picture โ€” hormones, gut health, nutrient status, inflammation, stress patterns โ€” thatโ€™s when things start to change.

Youโ€™re not broken.
Your body is asking for support.

This is exactly how I approach anxiety at North Star Functional Health.
There is hope for your health. โœจ

The holidays are coming โ€” and I know for so many women that means โœจmore everythingโœจ
More gatherings.
More sugar.
More stress.
Less sleep.
Less routine.

If your body already feels like itโ€™s barely keeping up, this season can be the tipping point.

I have a few last appointments this week โ€” not to add another thing to your plate, but to help you go into the holidays feeling more supported, more clear, and less depleted.

Sometimes one conversation, one plan, one shift is enough to change how the next few months feel.

โœจ Hope for your health doesnโ€™t have to wait until January. โœจ

Message me or grab a clarity call if youโ€™ve been thinking about it. ๐Ÿค

You know what I hear all the time?

โ€œI told my provider something felt off and they shrugged.โ€
โ€œI was told itโ€™s just getting older.โ€
โ€œI was given a prescription but no explanation.โ€
โ€œIโ€™ve been dismissed so many times I stopped asking.โ€

If this is youโ€ฆ youโ€™re not dramatic. Youโ€™re not imagining things. Youโ€™re not โ€œtoo much.โ€

Youโ€™re just finally ready for answers.

Functional medicine is the bridge between โ€œnothingโ€™s wrongโ€ and โ€œI donโ€™t feel well.โ€
It finds the why โ€” whether thatโ€™s your gut, inflammation, hormones, nutrients, stress load, or a combo of all the above.

And once you understand the why?
Everything changes.

If you want care that takes you seriously and gives you a plan that actually fits your life, Iโ€™d love to meet you.
๐Ÿ’ฌ Letโ€™s start connecting the dots and on the path to healing.

Real talk on parasite cleansesโ€ฆ

I just finished my second parasite cleanse, and I want to be honest about my experience. I kept waiting for a big โ€œahaโ€ momentโ€ฆ but it never really came.

For me personally, this wasnโ€™t something that felt transformative or necessary for my body right now โ€” and thatโ€™s okay. Not everything works the same way for everyone, and I think itโ€™s important to be transparent about that.

This was a different experience than my Paleocleanse liver detox last year, where I felt clear improvements by days 4โ€“5 and felt amazing by the end of 2 weeks. That one gave me:
โœจ more energy
โœจ better sleep
โœจ less bloating + improved digestion
โœจ less joint pain (totally unexpected!)
โœจ and a 6 lb weight loss

That detox was a game changer for me, so Iโ€™ll definitely be doing that one again after the first of the year.

Letโ€™s talk about sugar and your childโ€™s immune systemโ€ฆ
because this part nobody tells parents.

When your kid eats sugar, their immune system actually slows down.
Likeโ€ฆ literally gets distracted.

For about 4โ€“6 hours after a sugary snack,
their white blood cells โ€”
the little โ€˜germ fightersโ€™ โ€”
canโ€™t do their job as well.

So what does that look like?
More runny noses.
More coughs.
More โ€˜why are we sick again?!โ€™
Longer recovery times.

And no โ€” this doesnโ€™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:
โ€ข more protein with snacks
โ€ข pair carbs with fiber
โ€ข go easy on sugary drinks
โ€ข add fruit instead of candy
โ€ข whole food first, treats second

Balanced blood sugar =
calmer moods
better immunity
less sickness
and a kid who actually feels good. ๐Ÿ’™
