Tuesday Tip: Why Thanksgiving Dinner Makes You Sleepy 🦃😴

Ever wonder why you’re ready for a nap right after that big Thanksgiving meal? While turkey gets blamed for its tryptophan, the real reason you feel sleepy is actually the huge, carb-heavy feast—think mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls, and desserts. All those carbohydrates spike your blood sugar, then cause a quick crash… which leads straight to that classic post-meal slump.

Tip:
Balance your plate with protein + healthy fats.
Pairing your carbs with quality protein (like turkey, chicken, or plant-based proteins) and healthy fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil, etc.) helps slow digestion, stabilize your blood sugar, and keep your energy steady—so you can enjoy the day without the crash.

Try this balanced plate:

🦃 Lean turkey for protein

🥑 A drizzle of olive oil or some nuts for healthy fats

🥗 Veggies for fiber

🥔 Smaller portions of starchy sides

🥧 And yes… still enjoy your pie 😌

Stay energized, savor the holiday, and happy Thanksgiving week! 🍁

Tuesday Tip
As the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, many people start to feel the effects of seasonal depression (also known as Seasonal Affective Disorder). If you’ve been feeling low-energy, unmotivated, or just “off” as winter approaches, you’re not alone.

One simple tool that can make a big difference is a seasonal depression lamp, also called a light therapy lamp. These lamps mimic natural sunlight and can help boost your mood, energy, and overall well-being during the darker months. ☀️

How to use one effectively:
💡 Place it on your desk or table, about 16–24 inches away
💡 Use it for about 20–30 minutes in the morning
💡 Choose a lamp that’s 10,000 lux for best results
💡 Be consistent—daily use helps most!

As winter rolls in, don’t forget to take care of your mind and body. Small habits can make a big impact.
Stay warm, stay bright, and take care of you.

It’s Time for Our Tuesday Tip – Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a powerful tool we use to support healing from the inside out. During HBOT, you breathe concentrated oxygen in a pressurized chamber — allowing your body to absorb significantly more oxygen than it normally can.

Why is that important?
Oxygen is fuel for healing. When the body is under stress, recovering from injury, or dealing with inflammation, oxygen demand goes up — but delivery often goes down. HBOT bridges that gap.

Some of the benefits we see with HBOT include:
• Reduced inflammation
• Faster recovery from injuries
• Improved energy and brain function
• Support for post-concussion healing
• Enhanced immune function

💡 Tip: HBOT isn't just for recovery — it can also be used as a proactive therapy to support brain health, athletic performance, and overall cellular function.

If you’re curious whether HBOT may benefit your specific condition or goals, we’re happy to answer questions and help guide you.

Sharing our favorite recipe for Elderberry Syrup. We have been making this recipe for about 10 years and love how easy and tasty it is! This is a great tool for supporting your immune system during cold and flu season.

Want to boost your immune system (other than getting adjusted)? Do you have 10 minutes?

The Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine suggest the use of Elderberry for the prevention and reduction of severity and duration of cold and flu symptoms.

Furthermore, a 2011 study published in Bio Med Central (BMC) demonstrated that Black Elderberry inhibits the replication of both influenza A and B viruses, as well as three Gram-positive bacteria and one Gram-negative bacteria, which cause upper respiratory infections.

Here is the recipe we have been loving (our newest version cuts cooking time by 30 mins): Instapot Elderberry Syrup

Ingredients:

2/3 cup Dried Elderberry
3 1/2 cup Water
1 cup Raw Honey (if older than 1 yoa)
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 dash of Ginger

Recipe:

Throw all ingredients into your instapot and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
Strain, let cool, place in fridge.

Dosage for prevention:
Kiddos 1 tsp a day
Adults 1-2 tbsp a day

Dosage when sick:
Kiddos 1 tsp 3 times a day
Adults 1-2 tbsp 3 times a day

It’s Time for Our Tuesday Tip – Brain Health for Student Athletes 🧠

Athletes place huge demands on their brains and bodies — and they need the right fuel to keep up. The right supplements can support focus, recovery, energy, and overall performance, especially during a busy sports season.

But supplements aren’t the only proactive step. One of the most valuable tools we have is understanding an athlete’s baseline brain function before an injury ever happens.

💡 Tip: Consider a pre-sports neurological screening at the start of the season. If a concussion does occur, we’ll have a clear comparison point to guide a quicker, safer, and more accurate recovery plan.

Proactive care helps protect the athlete today — and their future health tomorrow.

It’s Time for Our Tuesday Tip – Understanding Gut Health

Your gut plays a major role in how your entire body functions — from digestion and energy to mood and immune health. When your gut isn’t working properly, it often shows up in subtle ways like:
• Bloating or gas
• Fatigue or brain fog
• Skin issues
• Irregular bowel movements
• Food sensitivities

💡 Tip: One of the best ways to start understanding your gut health is by keeping a food journal. Write down what you eat and how you feel afterward — noting things like bloating, fatigue, or mood changes. Over time, you may start to notice patterns that reveal food sensitivities or digestive imbalances.

For a deeper look, we also offer comprehensive gut testing to identify underlying issues like bacteria imbalance, yeast, or inflammation — helping create a plan tailored specifically to you.
