We sat down with our new Lead Physician, Dr. Gjoni, a board-certified Family Medicine Physician with advanced training in Functional Medicine.

From preconception to postpartum, your body is always communicating. When you slow down and listen, you activate your greatest capacity for healing.

In this conversation, and .lanby’s Wellness Advisor .health teamed up to show how intentional breath, functional movement, and nutrient-dense eating work together to support hormones, fascia, digestion, core recovery, and long-term strength.

Key Takeaways to Support Your Body at Any Stage:
➕ Breathe before you eat or move — a single deep breath can shift you into “rest and digest,” improving nutrient absorption and core engagement.
➕ Build balanced meals with protein, healthy fats, and fiber-rich carbs to sustain energy, regulate blood sugar, and support hormone balance.
➕ Hydrate and care for your fascia — hydration and soft-tissue work (like foam rolling) improve circulation, mobility, and postpartum recovery.
➕ Small movements matter — just five minutes of gentle, breath-led movement can reset your nervous system and reconnect you to your pelvic floor.
➕ Muscle is medicine — building and maintaining muscle supports metabolism, bone health, and hormonal resilience across every phase of womanhood.

This is not about doing more, it’s about doing with intention. One breath. One mindful plate. One moment of movement. These practices stack over time to build true resilience.

Our Wellness Advisor Rachel shares her approach to handling Halloween candy and the seasonal sugar rush.

➕ “In sight, in stomach.” Keep candy out of plain view—tuck it away in a cabinet so it’s not calling your name.
➕ Make healthy swaps! We love Unreal Chocolate .snacks, , , and .
Pro tip: freeze your chocolate—it lasts longer and slows you down.
➕ Set an expiration date. If you still have candy hanging around 3–5 days after Halloween, donate it and clear the space!

Our Wellness Advisor, Rachel, shares one of her favorite smoothie upgrades: frozen cauliflower rice.

Here’s why she loves it:
➕ Pairing it with a high quality protein powder helps elongate your blood sugar curve, giving you steady energy (no crashes).
➕ Cauliflower has a thermogenic effect—your body actually burns more energy breaking it down.
➕ Packed with fiber + vitamin C, it supports digestion and immunity.
Bonus: it makes your smoothie creamy, thick, and delicious without changing the flavor.

Give it a try: add ¼–½ cup of frozen cauliflower rice to your next blend and notice the difference.

We are excited to announce our NEW (and FREE) CGM Masterclass!

Metabolic health is the foundation of overall health, and poor blood sugar control is at the root of most chronic conditions (heart disease, diabetes, dementia, cancer). Yet, over 90% of American adults are metabolically unhealthy—many without even knowing it.

That’s why we created this free 4-week educational series designed to help you take control of your blood sugar, energy, weight, and long-term health.

Led by The Lanby’s Wellness Advisors (all Registered Dietitians), you’ll learn how to:
➕ Track & understand your glucose data
➕ Apply nutrition, exercise, sleep & stress “hacks”
➕ Spot patterns driving cravings, energy dips & weight changes

Why start here? Because metabolic health is the precursor to almost every disease of aging, and prevention should be accessible to everyone.

This is part of our Just The Wellness series: free, science-backed education that democratizes functional medicine and makes prevention practical.

Wearables like CGMs give us data. This program gives you the knowledge to use it. Together, that’s how we shift from treatment to prevention.

Enrollment is now open! Link in bio to join for FREE.

Fall is the perfect time to lean into seasonal produce, and our Wellness Advisor Rachel is sharing her favorites:

- Pumpkins + winter squash: packed with vitamin A for skin health, antioxidants, and fiber. Roast them for salads or sides—and don’t forget to save the seeds for a crunchy, nutrient-dense snack.

- Apples: high in fiber and the ultimate on-the-go whole food snack.

- Brussels sprouts + cruciferous veggies (like broccoli & cauliflower): rich in antioxidants, fiber, and sulforaphane, a powerhouse compound with cancer-fighting properties.

Eating with the seasons = more variety, more nourishment, more vitality. Food is medicine.
