Mindful Monday: Protecting Your Home from Mold in the PNW

Living in Humboldt and the greater Pacific Northwest means we enjoy beautiful, lush surroundings — but the frequent rain and humidity can also create ideal conditions for mold. Being mindful of your indoor environment is an important part of maintaining a healthy home.

Controlling indoor moisture is key. Using ventilation fans in kitchens and bathrooms, running dehumidifiers, and opening windows on dry days helps keep air circulating and surfaces dry. Regularly checking areas prone to dampness, such as basements, crawl spaces, and around windows or leaks, allows you to address moisture early before it can contribute to mold growth.

Routine cleaning and thoughtful airflow also make a big difference. Wiping down surfaces prone to condensation, keeping closets and storage areas well-ventilated, and allowing your home to “breathe” whenever possible helps maintain a healthier living space. Mindfulness in how we care for our environment can directly support our overall well-being, making your home a safe and comfortable place throughout the wet season.

At North Coast Naturopathic Medicine we understand how environmental factors influence wellness, and we’re here to help you create a space that supports your health naturally. Give us a call today or visit our website to learn more!

Mindful Monday: Supporting Digestive Health

Digestion isn’t just about what we eat, it’s also about how we eat. And during the holiday season, when meals are richer, schedules are busier, and gatherings can feel rushed, being mindful becomes even more important. When we eat in a stressed or hurried state, the body shifts out of “rest and digest” mode, making it harder to break down food and absorb nutrients.

Try taking a few slow breaths before your first bite, set your phone aside, and chew with intention. These simple acts can help support smoother digestion, reduce bloating, and help your gut feel more at ease. And sometimes, our digestive system still needs a little extra support — that’s where our amazing naturopathic doctors come in.

Whether it’s creating a personalized plan, offering natural approaches to support your gut, or helping you navigate ongoing digestive concerns, we’re here to help you feel your best from the inside out.

🌙 Evening Reflections ⭐️

As the sun sets, we invite you to take a quiet moment and ask yourself:

What did my body need today that I didn’t give it?
Where did I pour out more than I poured in?
What would it feel like to truly rest?

In naturopathic medicine, we know healing happens in the pause, in that space where the nervous system softens, the breath deepens, and the body finally has permission to recover.

Care can take many forms, from sipping a warm cup of tea, stepping outside for fresh air, taking a deep breath, or simply allowing yourself to rest. However it looks for you, you are worthy of it.

Rest isn’t a luxury. It’s medicine.

Fast Fact Friday: Circulate Wellness, One Beat at a Time ❤

Your heart is more than just a pump, it’s the engine that keeps your entire body running, delivering oxygen and nutrients to every cell. Did you know that your heart beats around 100,000 times a day, pumping roughly 2,000 gallons of blood every 24 hours? Our doctors focus on supporting heart health through a combination of lifestyle guidance, nutrition strategies, stress management, and therapies designed to improve circulation and reduce inflammation. By addressing the root causes of cardiovascular stress and promoting overall wellness, we help patients maintain healthy blood pressure, energy levels, and heart function. Supporting your heart today is an investment in long-term vitality and quality of life. The heart is closely connected to the nervous system, meaning stress and emotional health can directly affect cardiovascular function. By taking a holistic approach, we help your heart and body work together efficiently, creating a foundation for sustained wellness and resilience. We look forward to helping you through your wellness journey.

✨ Therapy Thursday Spotlight: Activator Adjustments ✨

The Activator Method is a gentle, low-force chiropractic technique that uses a handheld device to deliver targeted adjustments without the twisting, cracking, or popping you might expect from traditional chiropractic care.

It’s precise, effective, and especially great for people who prefer a more subtle approach—or who may be dealing with pain, inflammation, or chronic conditions. At North Coast Naturopathic Medicine, we use it to help improve alignment, reduce discomfort, and support your nervous system’s ability to do what it does best: heal.
