5 Health Myths That Are Scarier Than Ghost

Halloween might be filled with spooky stories, but some of the scariest things in wellness are the myths that sneak into our daily routines and keep us from truly healing.

This October, we’re pulling back the mask on a few frighteningly common health misconceptions that might be haunting your habits, and giving you the truth instead.

Myth #1: "You Have to Be Perfect to Be Healthy"
The Scary Part: This myth thrives on guilt. If you miss one workout or slip up on your routine, it whispers, “You’ve failed.”

The Truth: Healing isn’t linear, and it’s never perfect. It’s built on consistent choices, not grand gestures. Shame will only slow you down!

Treat Instead of Trick: Focus on daily wins, even the small ones like taking your supplements, getting sunlight, or sipping herbal tea, they all add up in the long run!

Myth #2: "If It's Not Hard, It Doesn't Work"
The Scary Part: Wellness culture often praises...Wellness culture often praises hard work like long workouts, intense detoxes, and restrictive regimens.

The Truth: Sustainable healing is often the opposite: gentle, consistent, and nourishing. Rest, calm, and quality food create an environment where the body can repair.

Treat Instead of Trick: Try swapping overachievement for alignment. Your nervous system will thank you!

Myth #3: "Supplements Are a Waste of Money"
The Scary Part: Some believe that if you eat well, you don’t need any supplementation

The Truth: While food is foundational, many people today may not get enough key nutrients through diet alone, especially when dealing with chronic stress, inflammation, gut issues, or environmental toxins. High quality, practitioner grade supplements can be essential tools in restoring balance and function, especially when customized to your body.

Treat Instead of Trick: Work with a qualified provider (like our MNH team!) to create a targeted, simplified protocol that works with your goals, not against them.

Myth #4: "Feeling Tired is Just Normal"
The Scary Part: Fatigue has become so normalized that many people treat it as part of adulthood.

The Truth: Persistent tiredness is a red flag, not a lifestyle. It could be related to thyroid imbalance, adrenal dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, or even food sensitivities.

Treat Instead of Trick: If your energy dips regularly or you’re relying on caffeine to function, it’s time to dig deeper, not just push through.

Myth #5: "A Little Sugar Won’t Hurt"
The Scary Part: Halloween brings endless treats, and it’s easy to believe that just a little sugar is harmless, especially when it’s everywhere.

The Truth: Refined sugar is a known inflammatory trigger that can disrupt blood sugar, suppress our immune function, and feed hidden infections and parasites in the body. For many of our clients, even small amounts can flare up symptoms.

Treat Instead of Trick: There are amazing naturally sweet alternatives that support healing instead of sabotaging it. From monk fruit to cinnamon spiced nut butters, it is possible to enjoy delicious seasonal flavors without the sugar crash!

Final Thoughts: Fear Free Healing
Healing doesn’t have to be hard, and it certainly doesn’t need to be scary.
By letting go of outdated myths, you can make room for something more powerful: truth, simplicity, and nourishment.

This October, choose treats that actually serve your health, and let go of the fear based fads for good!

As the sun dips behind the hills and the sky shifts from gold to pink, and then black, a quiet magic unfolds overhead. The first star appears, then another, and soon the sky is alive with constellations. For generations, humans have looked up at the stars to reflect, wonder, and reconnect with something greater than themselves.

But did you know stargazing is more than just beautiful, it can also be deeply healing?

The Science of Stillness: Why Stargazing Helps You Reset

In our overstimulated, screen-heavy world, pausing to look at the night sky does more than offer a pretty view. Research shows that experiencing awe (like seeing a sky full of stars) can:

Reduce stress hormones like cortisol

Lower blood pressure

Improve heart rate variability

Trigger the parasympathetic nervous system to rest

Help you feel more connected to others and the world

In other words, stargazing can literally reset your nervous system, and the benefits can last for days!

It Also Shifts Your Mindset

There’s something...

It’s all about time and vibration

Sound isn’t just something we hear — it’s something our cells can feel. In a groundbreaking study, researchers from Kyoto University have revealed that audible sound waves can directly influence how our cells behave, opening a new frontier in non-invasive medical therapies.

Using a custom-designed system to deliver precise sound vibrations to cell cultures, the scientists discovered that even low-intensity acoustic waves could suppress the formation of fat cells and activate or suppress specific genes. These findings suggest that sound isn’t merely a sensory experience — it’s a mechanical signal that can alter biological processes.

At the heart of this research is the idea that sound is a form of mechanical energy. Like waves rippling through air or water, sound travels through our tissues and cells. The Kyoto team used this principle to design an experiment that bathed cultured cells in sound pressure and then analyzed how those cells responded. The results were striking: over 190 genes were found to be sound-sensitive, and one of the most pronounced effects was a reduction in adipocyte differentiation — the process of fat cell formation.

This discovery could mark a turning point in how we view sound and its potential in medicine. Unlike drugs or surgery, sound is non-material, non-invasive, and can be precisely controlled. As such, acoustic stimulation may offer a safe, fast-acting way to influence cell behavior — from altering gene expression to modulating how cells stick to their surroundings.

Beyond the medical implications, the study also challenges the traditional belief that sound perception is solely the domain of the ear and brain. Instead, it turns out your cells may be “listening” too — and responding in ways we’re just beginning to understand.
