Muscle doesn’t know your age.
55. 60. 65. 70. 75. 80. 85.

Muscle does not have a birthday.
It doesn’t know how old you are.
What muscle does know is effort.

It knows:
• Resistance
• Load
• Consistency
• Recovery

If you give muscle a reason to adapt, it will—at any age. 💪

When you build muscle as you age, something powerful happens:
✨ You stand taller
✨ Your posture improves
✨ You move faster and more confidently
✨ Your reaction time and fast-twitch fibers improve
✨ You look younger because you move younger

But the benefits don’t stop at the body.

🧠 Muscle talks to the brain.
Strength training increases neurological signaling, improves motor control, balance, coordination, and cognitive resilience. Muscle releases myokines—chemical messengers that support brain health, mood, and neuroplasticity.

And yes—creatine isn’t just for muscles.

Creatine:
• Supports ATP (cellular energy)
• Improves strength and power
• Enhances brain energy metabolism
• Supports memory, focus, and neurological health
• Helps protect the brain during stress and aging

That’s why creatine is now being studied for brain health, cognition, and neuroprotection—not just bodybuilding.

Aging is inevitable. Weakness is not.
Build muscle. Build brain health. Build longevity.

✨ Reflecting on 2025 in Functional Medicine ✨

In 2025, I had the privilege of watching something powerful happen.
I watched people grow.

Patients who applied the protocol—not halfway, not occasionally, but fully—experienced real transformation.
They didn’t just feel different.
They looked different.
They moved different.
And in many cases… they even showed up in life differently.

When you support the body at the root—nutrition, gut health, muscle, nervous system, hormones, mindset—the body responds. Every. Single. Time.

Growth changes you. Healing changes how you think, how you act, and how you live.

So yes…
I’m riding into 2026 with momentum, conviction, and a little bit of fire 🔥
Because when people commit to the process, the results speak louder than words.

Here’s to continued growth, deeper healing, and doing the work.

Fibromyalgia May Start in the Gut 🧠🦠

Fibromyalgia isn’t “just pain.”
It may be driven by Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and toxic bacterial byproducts affecting the muscles, mitochondria, and nervous system.

Here’s how ⬇️

🦠 Bacterial Endotoxins (LPS)
Cause inflammation, mitochondrial damage, muscle impairment, and increased pain sensitivity 🔥

⚡ D-Lactic Acid
A neurotoxin that leads to fatigue, muscle pain, and brain fog 🧠💭

☠️ Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S)
Blocks cellular energy and increases oxidative stress → deep fatigue and muscle pain 🔋⬇️

🧠 Tryptophan Depletion
Bacteria steal tryptophan → low serotonin & melatonin
➡️ pain, depression, carb cravings, poor sleep, and muscle fatigue 🌙😴

✨ The takeaway:
Fibromyalgia may be microbial, mitochondrial, and inflammatory — not “all in your head.”

🌱 If you have fibromyalgia, it may be time to look at your gut.

Pain is information. The gut is often the source.

As part of my healing journey, I went to see a monk named Shri Babaji.🧘‍♀️

Today, I still practice what he taught me🫶.. Gratitude

Monks live simply.
They own very little.
They rise with the sun.
They move their bodies daily.
They study.📚
They meditate.🪷
They eat simply, from the earth.
They ground.
They breathe.
They listen.👂

Their healing doesn’t come from excess—
it comes from removal.

Removal of noise.
Removal of distraction.
Removal of overconsumption.
Removal of identity tied to things.

You don’t have to become a monk to heal.
But there is wisdom in honoring tradition—
whether it’s theirs, yours, or one you’re rebuilding.

When we simplify, nourish the body, move with intention, and reconnect to the earth,
the nervous system softens…
and healing begins.

Sometimes healing isn’t about adding more—
it’s about returning to what’s always been there.

SURPRISE 🎉

We did a big pop-up last night at Snap Fitness on Tramway in Albuquerque, NM, and the turnout was amazing.

We gave away creatine—and this wasn’t your average scoop. This one is dosed intentionally for brain health, while still supporting muscle strength and recovery. A slightly higher dose than most people are used to, because the brain needs fuel too. 🧠💪

We had great conversations, met some incredible people, and loved connecting with the community.

✨ Next up: we’re excited to announce a pop-up in Grants, bringing the same great program and education with us.

More details coming soon—!!! First week in January 2026!

Your gut tells a story—if you know how to read it.

Inside the gut, there are keystone and commensal bacteria that act like conductors of an orchestra.
When they’re balanced, digestion, immunity, metabolism, and even mental health stay in rhythm.

We look at patterns like:
• Bacteroides & Firmicutes → metabolic balance, energy extraction, inflammation control
• Beta-glucuronidase → detoxification efficiency & hormone recycling
• Secretory IgA (sIgA) → immune resilience & gut lining protection
• Melatonin signaling (daytime production) → gut-brain communication, circadian rhythm, repair

The small intestine is meant to be a low-bacteria zone.
When it’s no longer functionally sterile—due to stress, poor diet, medications, or toxin load—things start to shift.

That’s when we often see:
• Autoimmune patterns emerge
• Metabolic dysfunction creep in
• Mood, anxiety, focus, and cognitive symptoms appear

Why?
Because the gut educates the immune system and talks directly to the brain.

What’s powerful is this:
When we restore gut bacteria, rebuild the gut lining, and feed microbes real nutrition, we often see mental-health labels soften or disappear—not because we “treated the brain,” but because we fixed the terrain.

Organic Acids Testing helps us see this clearly.
It shows whether your body is:
• Actually absorbing nutrients
• Feeding beneficial bacteria
• Producing energy efficiently
• Running clean metabolic pathways

Food isn’t just fuel.
It’s information—for your microbes, your immune system, and your brain.

Fix the gut → the system follows.

When I first started transforming my body, it felt scary.
It felt weird.
Emotionally. Mentally. Physically. Spiritually.

I would make progress…
and then go back.
Make progress…
and then go back.

Until the day I realized—
my body couldn’t fully change until my mindset did.📚

That’s when everything shifted.

I stopped chasing shortcuts.
I stopped following cookie-cutter plans.
I stopped eating the same meals everyone else said was good.
I stopped doing the same workouts everyone else was doing- no matter their age, hormones, or health history.

Instead, I went to the best schools.
I learned from the best educators.🥸
I sat under the best speakers in the industry.🎤
And I learned real science.🔬

I learned how the body actually works:
• Hormones
• Immune function
• Digestion
• Detoxification
• Energy pathways
• Nervous system regulation
• Oxidative stress

And that’s when I truly learned how to change my body.

Yes—it took about four years to fully transform.
But I didn’t just hire another person...
I hired experts.

And that’s exactly what I do today at Mt. Taylor Functional Medicine.

We don’t look at just one part of the body.
We look at the whole body.
And we help the body heal.
We help the body become strong in all ways.

And yes—at first, it still feels weird.
Sometimes you even lose friends.
Sometimes family doesn’t understand.
But I chose to surround myself with people who understand real transformation—
at a cellular, hormonal, neurological, and metabolic level.

So if you’re ready to stop going forward and backward…
If you’re ready for real, sustainable transformation…

Come jump on with us.
Mt. Taylor Functional Medicine is opening the wait list.
We’re ready when you are. 💪✨

What if you didn’t live by your diagnosis?

Have you ever been diagnosed with something…
And then let that label run your thoughts?
Your choices?
Your confidence?

I was once given four diagnoses.
Not life-threatening—but heavy enough to shrink someone if they let it.

1-Obesity ( by 80 pounds)
2-Autoimmune
3-PDST/ongoing mild Depression-with ADHD🫣
4-HIGH Blood Pessure

And yes—some diagnoses absolutely require immediate and serious medical care.

But most labels? They don’t get to define your limits. Or they dam sure did NOT get to define ANY thing about me!

What if instead of saying:
“I have anxiety, so I can’t…”
“I have ADHD, so I struggle to…”

You flipped it?
Used it to your advantage.
Stopped belittling yourself.
Stopped putting yourself in a box you never belonged in.

What if you lived like this instead:
✨ Eat for nourishment
✨ Rest with intention
✨ Move your body for your age and strength
✨ Aim for optimal, not just “normal”

Don’t let anyone hold you back.
Don’t let a diagnosis hold you back.

If I had let mine define me—I wouldn’t be where I am today.
I wasn’t meant to be small.
I wasn’t meant to be quiet.
I wasn’t meant for disease.

I was meant for optimal life.
And so were you. 💪✨

Muscle Builds More Than a Body—It Builds a Brain.🧠

When you build muscle, you shift your brain chemistry:
dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and BDNF—chemicals that regulate mood, motivation, stress, and resilience.

This is why strength training is now front-line mental health medicine.🔥🤔

More muscle =
• better mood
• less anxiety
• stronger focus
• higher confidence
• a stronger sense of self

Weakness feeds fear.
Strength builds identity.

Muscle doesn’t just hold your body up—
it holds your mind together.

❄️ Cold Is Medicine (When Used Wisely) ❄️

Exposing your body to cold in the winter doesn’t weaken you—it can activate your mitochondria, your body’s energy engines. Research shows that cold exposure can:

🔥 Turn on brown fat to burn more calories
⚡ Boost mitochondrial activity & energy production
🧬 Improve metabolic efficiency
🛡️ Support inflammation control & cellular resilience
🧠 Build mental toughness and stress adaptability

Cold is a healthy hormetic stress—a small challenge that teaches your body to become stronger, more efficient, and more resilient.

You weren’t built to live in perfect temperatures.
Sometimes, the cold is what amps you up.

✨ The lymphatic system has no pump. It cannot move toxins out unless YOU move.

It needs:
• Stretching
• Muscle contraction
• Deep breathing
• Walking
• Resistance training
• Any movement that creates pressure and release

Most people forget this.

But when you:
• Stretch
• Lift
• Walk
• Bounce
• Get your heart rate up

…you’re physically “milking” the lymphatic vessels—helping them drain, clear, and carry toxins OUT of the body.

Movement = detox.
Movement = longevity.
Movement = clarity.

If you want a healthier body, clearer skin, better immunity, and less inflammation, move in ways that squeeze, stretch, and pump your lymphatic system every single day.
