Glucose Challenge Test (GCT) for Pregnancy ✨

If you’re between 24–28 weeks pregnant, your provider will likely recommend the Glucose Challenge Test. This important screening helps check how your body is handling sugar and looks for early signs of gestational diabetes — which can affect both mom and baby if left unmanaged.

💛 What’s actually in the glucose drink?
The common “glucola” drink usually contains:
• Dextrose (glucose) – the sugar your body needs to process for the test
• Water
• Preservatives like sodium benzoate
• Citric acid
• Food dyes and flavoring (varies by brand)

There is a natural alternative called The Fresh Test — a clean, dye-free option made with simple ingredients like crystallized lemon, organic cane sugar, and organic mint. Many moms prefer it because it’s easier on the stomach and doesn’t contain the preservatives or artificial dyes found in the traditional glucola drink.

Interested in trying it? Stop by our office to grab The Fresh Test for your glucose screening!

🌿 Understanding the 24-Hour Circadian Clock in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) 🌿

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, every organ in the body follows a natural rhythm within a 24-hour cycle. This internal “organ clock” reflects when each system is most active — guiding digestion, detoxification, energy, and emotional balance. Aligning your daily habits with these rhythms helps support your overall wellness and healing.

🕰️ Here’s a quick guide:

🌅 5–7 AM | Large Intestine
Time to wake up and release waste — both physically and mentally. Hydrate and begin your day mindfully.

☀️ 7–9 AM | Stomach
Optimal time for a warm, nourishing breakfast. Your digestion is strongest now.

🌼 9–11 AM | Spleen
Your body converts food into Qi (energy). Great time for focused work and mental clarity.

❤️ 11 AM–1 PM | Heart
Blood circulation and energy peak. Eat your main meal and stay calm — avoid rushing or stress during lunch.

🔥 1–3 PM | Small Intestine
The body absorbs nutrients and begins sorting. A short rest or light nap can restore energy.

💧 3–5 PM | Bladder
Energy is restored. Ideal time for study, work, or finishing tasks.

💙 5–7 PM | Kidney
The kidneys store vital essence and support recovery. Eat a light dinner and avoid overexertion.

💖 7–9 PM | Pericardium
Focus on self-care, gentle stretching, and connection. Calm the mind before bed.

🌙 9–11 PM | Triple Burner (Endocrine System)
Your metabolism and hormones begin balancing. Wind down, avoid screens, and prepare for rest.

🌌 11 PM–3 AM | Gallbladder & Liver
Deep sleep supports detoxification, cell repair, and emotional processing.

🌄 3–5 AM | Lung
The lungs cleanse and prepare the body for a new day. Early risers often feel more refreshed and clear-headed.

✨ Living in rhythm with this natural cycle helps improve digestion, sleep, focus, hormone balance, and emotional wellbeing.

Take note of when your energy peaks or dips — your body might be telling you which organ system needs attention!

October is pregnancy and infant loss awareness month 🪽💜

Every year, 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in loss. Miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss affect millions of families worldwide — yet many feel they must grieve in silence.

🔹 Why Awareness Matters:
• It breaks the stigma and silence around pregnancy and infant loss.
• It provides space for families to share their stories and honor their babies.
• It reminds grieving parents that their loss is real and their babies will always matter.

🔹 The Colors of Awareness:
The official symbol is the pink-and-blue ribbon, representing babies of all genders and the blend of grief and remembrance. 💗💙
You’ll also see purple used, as it stands for compassion, healing, and solidarity. 💜

🔹 How to Show Support:
• Light a candle on October 15th at 7 PM for the International Wave of Light 🌎🕯️
• Offer a listening ear to someone who has experienced loss.
• Share resources and awareness posts so no family feels alone.

This month, let’s honor the little lives gone too soon and hold space for the parents who carry them in their hearts forever. 💫
