✨❄️ The holidays are all about the little joys—stringing lights on the tree, singing along to favorite carols, sipping hot cocoa by the fire, and snuggling up for holiday movies. It’s about those cozy winter walks, the smell of fresh pine, and the laughter that comes from creating new traditions.

This season, we’re grateful for the moments that bring us together and the simple joys that warm our hearts.

From all of us at the Iron Mountain Wellness Way, we wish you a Christmas full of love, laughter, and cherished memories. May your holidays sparkle with happiness and your new year shine with health and hope! 🎁❤️

♻️✨ Your Body Has to Process Everything You Take In ✨♻️

Every bite of food, every supplement, every medication, every environmental exposure has to be handled by your body. Nothing just disappears. It all has to be broken down, packaged, and moved out through your detox systems like the liver, gut, kidneys, skin, and lymph.

When those systems are supported, your body keeps things moving smoothly. When they are overwhelmed, things can slow down, back up, or start recirculating and that is when symptoms often show up.

This is why supporting digestion, bile flow, nutrient status, and elimination matters so much. Your body is always working for you. Sometimes it just needs a little extra help to keep up with modern life.

If you are feeling off, sluggish, inflamed, or stuck, it may be time to take a closer look at how your body is handling what you are taking in.

Gymnema helps to reduce sugar cravings by suppressing sweet taste mechanisms without affecting satisfaction from other foods. It’s often referred to as “the sugar destroyer” for this reason. This sweet-suppressing property has been shown to reduce sugar intake.

Gymnema leaves contain important sugar-regulating constituents like gymnemic acids, gymnemosides, and gurmarin. The gymnemic acid constituent not only suppresses sugar cravings but also attaches to sugar receptors so that the amount of sugar absorbed in the intestines is greatly decreased.

Gymnema has been shown in scientific studies to:

Help reduce cravings for sugar and highcarbohydrate foods
Help suppress the sweet taste sensation
Support normal blood sugar control

Schisandra is known to have multiple healing properties and has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for hundreds of years. Primarily known for enhancing liver function and supporting the adrenal glands, Schisandra can also increase resistance to stress and disease, boost energy, and improve physical performance and endurance.

Schisandra contains dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans (deoxyschisandrin, gomisin N, gomisin A, schisandrin, and wuweizisu) and other bioactive substances. These constituents work synergistically to provide the plant’s medicinal properties, including its adaptogenic, liver-protective, antioxidant, and potentially other health-promoting effects.

Schisandra has been shown in scientific studies to:

Provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity
Support normal memory and brain function
Promote healthy energy levels and stamina
Support balance within the female hormonal system
The human body is like a finely tuned Swiss watch, with each gear (organ system) affecting all the others. For more information or to get tested, contact a Wellness Way clinic. We’ll help you understand how your body is currently functioning and the best ways to support it!

🌿✨ Short Chain Fatty Acids: A Small Marker With Big Answers ✨🌿

On a GI stool test, one of the most powerful markers we look at is short chain fatty acids. These tiny compounds tell us an incredible amount about your gut health and overall inflammation.

Short chain fatty acids show us
🦠 How healthy and diverse your gut bacteria are
🔥 Whether your gut is inflamed
🧠 Clues about mood and brain function since SCFAs influence the gut brain axis
🧬 How well you are breaking down fiber and feeding good bacteria
🛡 The strength of your gut barrier and whether it is protected or becoming leaky
💪 How well your gut is producing anti inflammatory compounds
🌱 Your digestive efficiency and nutrient absorption

This single marker can reveal why you may be experiencing
😣 Bloating
🍽 Poor digestion
🔥 Chronic inflammation
🧠 Brain fog
😴 Fatigue
😬 Mood swings or irritability
🤢 Food sensitivities
🧻 Constipation or diarrhea

SCFAs show the function of the gut, not just whether an infection is present. When levels are off, it tells us your microbiome needs support, your gut lining may be irritated, or your digestion is not working the way it should.

This is why a stool test is so important. It gives us the information you cannot get from blood work alone and helps us see exactly what is going on inside your gut. With the right plan, SCFA levels can improve and your symptoms can too.

If you feel like your gut has been struggling and you want real answers, call 906 828 1384 to schedule your GI test here at The Wellness Way.
