Getting to the root of your health issues through functional medicine. Feel your best through personalized, all natural health & healing solutions.

01/04/2026

Hello! I wanted to take a second to introduce myself to new followers! I'm Jen! I’m a mom, wife, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner & I also own Alternative Chiropractic in Johnstown, PA! I believe everyone deserves to work with a doctor who truly cares about their well-being as a whole and who will help them feel their best. I know what it’s like to be overwhelmed with not knowing how to fix your health issues or pain. To have a doctor tell you thereʼs nothing wrong when you know something is not right, or to be prescribed drugs that only treat symptoms, but not the root causes. 🌿

So that’s why I became a Functional Medicine Practitioner - it’s my passion to help others heal! When we work together, through personalized and thorough testing, you’ll be able to confidently make diet and lifestyle changes and achieve healing and better quality of life through natural and sustainable means.

If these symptoms show up daily, they’re not just part of life...they’re early indicators of system imbalance:

1️⃣ Waking up groggy, even after 7–8 hours
→ often a sign your cortisol rhythm is flipped or your sleep isn’t truly restorative.

2️⃣ Afternoon energy crashes
→ commonly tied to blood sugar instability or sluggish adrenal output.

3️⃣ Bloating after meals (or all day)
→ can point to low stomach acid, poor bile flow, or microbial imbalance.

4️⃣ Brain fog that lifts with caffeine
→ suggests your body is relying on stimulants because your natural energy production is lagging.

5️⃣ Irritability between meals
→ a classic sign of glucose dips or poor metabolic flexibility.

6️⃣ Cold hands and feet
→ often connected to low circulation, thyroid sluggishness, or chronic stress.

These symptoms aren’t random. They often point to dysregulated cortisol, blood sugar imbalances, sluggish detox pathways, or nutrient deficiencies.

If you’ve tried:

✓ cutting carbs
✓ eating “clean”
✓ more cardio
✓ new supplements
✓ random TikTok hacks
✓ guessing your hormones

…and you STILL feel tired, bloated, inflamed, moody, or overweight…

It’s not because you’re doing it wrong. It’s because you’re doing it blind.

Your symptoms are signals, but without real data, they all sound the same. When you stop chasing symptoms and start understanding why your body is struggling, that’s when things finally shift.

If your digestion feels off, bloating, irregularity, discomfort, your gut may be asking for some TLC. And healing often starts on your plate.

Here’s a simple gut-friendly plate framework you can use daily:

🥬 1. Colorful veggies (½ your plate) Think: leafy greens, cooked carrots, squash, or sauerkraut for gentle fiber + phytonutrients.

🍗 2. Quality protein (¼ plate) Wild-caught fish, pasture-raised chicken, lentils, or eggs, essential for gut lining repair.

🥑 3. Healthy fats (1–2 tbsp) Avocado, olive oil, nuts/seeds, or coconut, they reduce inflammation and support nutrient absorption.

🍚 4. Easy-to-digest starch (if tolerated) Sweet potato, squash, or white rice which gives energy without overloading the system.

🌿 Bonus: Add gut-loving extras. Fermented foods, bone broth, ginger, or fresh herbs that support for digestion and microbiome diversity.

This isn't about perfection, it's about consistency and giving your gut what it needs to thrive.

If your PMS has gotten worse over the past few years, you’re not imagining it, and no, it’s not just “aging.”

Around your mid-to-late 30s, progesterone begins to decline faster than estrogen, creating a relative imbalance known as estrogen dominance.
Symptoms like irritability, breast tenderness, bloating, mood swings, and insomnia become more pronounced, especially in the second half of your cycle.

The good news? There’s so much we can do with nutrition, targeted herbs, and stress regulation to restore that balance before menopause.

Have you noticed this shift in your cycle? Let’s talk below ⬇️

Do you tend to feel down after the holidays? As the pace slows, it’s natural for motivation and mood to shift. These 5 habits can help restore balance to your brain chemistry and lift your energy from the inside out:

1️⃣ Get morning sunlight. It boosts serotonin and resets your body clock.
2️⃣ Eat protein and colorful veggies. Your brain needs the right building blocks for happy neurotransmitters.
3️⃣ Move your body daily. Eercise naturally raises dopamine and serotonin.
4️⃣ Support your gut. It makes most of your serotonin! Think fermented foods + fiber.
5️⃣ Rest. Sleep and stillness are how your brain resets and rebalances.

Small habits can make a big difference for your mood and motivation this winter. Learn the science behind seasonal mood changes in my latest newsletter going out this weekend!

If you feel mentally fuzzy, forgetful, or like you're running on low power, your body is trying to tell you something. Brain fog is one of the most common complaints we hear, but it’s rarely just about stress. Here are 5 often-overlooked causes:

1️⃣ Blood sugar imbalances – Even subtle spikes and crashes throughout the day can leave your brain feeling drained. When glucose rises too fast you might feel temporarily alert… followed by a sharp dip in focus and energy. Stable blood sugar helps your brain stay sharp and steady.

2️⃣ B12 & omega-3 deficiencies – These nutrients are essential for memory, cognition, and neurotransmitter function. Low levels can result in brain fog, low mood, and even anxiety. They're especially important if you're plant-based or have gut issues that impair absorption.

3️⃣ Gut inflammation – When your gut is inflamed or the microbiome is imbalanced, it can trigger systemic inflammation. This is why so many people notice their focus worsen with bloating, food sensitivities, or IBS-like symptoms. Healing the gut often clears the mental fog.

4️⃣ Shallow breathing – Constant low-grade stress leads to shallow, chest-based breathing which reduces oxygen flow to your brain. Less oxygen = less energy, slower thinking, and a foggy, disconnected feeling. Deep, diaphragmatic breathing improves clarity almost immediately.

5️⃣ Poor sleep – You can get 8 hours of sleep and still wake up foggy if your sleep quality is off. Without enough time in deep and REM stages, your brain doesn’t get the chance to detox, regulate hormones, or consolidate memories. Sleep issues tied to cortisol, blood sugar, or nervous system dysregulation are all worth investigating.

Remember: Brain fog isn’t random, it’s a sign your body is out of sync. When you start recognizing the patterns, you can stop guessing and start supporting your system.
