Sweating and feeling cold at the same time here!
Not the method I have in mind when recommending alternate hot and cold therapy for circulation and inflammation support 😉

What does antibiotic spraying on crops mean for your gut health?
Every year, millions of pounds of human-use antibiotics and antifungals are sprayed directly onto U.S. food crops. While this is raising major public-health questions, the part I want to focus on today is how you can proactively protect your microbiome.
Here are the practical, science-backed steps I recommend:
1. Feed your beneficial microbes daily - Aim for 20–30 different plant foods per week.
2. Include fermented food daily- A forkful of sauerkraut, a splash of kefir, or a small serving of kimchi counts.
3. Include prebiotic foods - Garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, apples, flaxseed, oats to name a few.
4. Prioritize polyphenols- Berries, green tea, pomegranate, olives.
5. Choose organic foods when possible, and use the “Dirty Dozen” list to know which items are most important to buy organic or substitute.
6. Prioritize consistent sleep and stress-reduction habits — your gut bacteria shift within 24–48 hours based on your cortisol levels and sleep patterns.
Even in a world with environmental exposures we can’t always control, your gut is adaptable — and small, consistent choices support its resilience!
P.S: These tips are general and may not be right for everyone. Work with a licensed provider to see what’s best for your body.

The gut and brain talk to each other constantly… sometimes it’s hard to tell which one speaks first. Stress or digestion — the classic chicken or egg situation!

🧊Cool From the Inside Out: Ayurvedic Wisdom for Summer ☀️

According to Ayurvedic principles, during summer season, especially with the current heat wave we are experiencing across several US States, Pitta dosha (heat, intensity, fire) tends to rise.
When Pitta is high, you might feel:
🔥 Irritable easily
🔥 Prone to skin rashes, acid reflux, or increased inflammation
🔥 Easily fatigued or suffer from headaches

In addition to adequate water, include more cooling foods in your diet to pacify the high pitta:
🍉 Watermelon – deeply hydrating and naturally sweet
🥒 Cucumber – soothing, cooling, and great for skin
🥥 Coconut water – replenishes electrolytes
🌿 Mint – refreshing, aids digestion
🥭 Ripe mango – sweet and cooling in moderate amounts
🥬 Leafy greens – detoxifying and light
🌾 Barley – light grain that reduces internal heat
🥛Yogurt -cooling and probiotic rich
🍈Lime (not lemon) – cooling and balancing for Pitta

🚫 Avoid excess: spicy foods, alcohol, caffeine, red meat, and fried foods, which increase pitta.

Cooler temperatures can make you feel less thirsty but your body needs hydration all year long- to boost your immune system, increase energy, aid digestion and keep your skin moisturized and glowing!
If drinking plain water sounds a little boring, make it enjoyable by infusing water with fruits🍋 or herbs such as mint.
You can make hydration cozy by sipping warm ginger infused water or caffeine free herbal teas 🍵.

After working/living in a town close to Sandy Hook when the mass shooting occurred, I would not have been able to function well as a Health care provider or a Mother if not for the help of a Mental Health Therapist! Grateful for the help and support I received. There is no health without Mental health!

Whether it is a job, relationship or trying to break a bad routine, we all tend to feel stuck from time to time. When this happens, try the Remind, Recognize and Reclaim method. 1.Remind yourself that feeling stuck is not forever, atleast it doesn't have to be.
2. Recognize that you always had 2 choices: Choose to continue to feel stuck or Make a choice to do something different.
3. Reclaim your power by taking steps - whether big or small towards feeling/becoming unstuck.
