Most people jump straight to probiotics when their gut is a mess… but the real root often starts way upstream — with low stomach acid.

In this 60-second breakdown, I explain how proper stomach acid is the first defense against bad bacteria, helps you digest proteins, absorb minerals, and keeps your entire gut microbiome balanced.

If you have bloating, reflux, indigestion, or stubborn gut issues, this might be the missing piece.

Struggling to fall asleep or waking up wired at night? Your body might be stuck in “cortisol mode.” In this video, I walk you through a simple, science-based nighttime routine that helps lower evening cortisol and naturally boost melatonin—your body’s main sleep hormone.

Small changes like light exposure, breath work, and the right evening habits can completely shift your nervous system toward deep, restorative sleep.

If you’ve been battling fatigue, stress, or stubborn hormones… this is for you. 🌙😴

🧠🍬 MELATONIN: THE NEW VILLAIN?

Apparently, the social media gods have decided the real cause of heart disease isn’t sugar, processed food, or chronic stress…
Nope — it’s melatonin, the molecule your body literally makes when you sleep.

Meanwhile, the real culprits (👇) are sitting quietly in your pantry — the ones that actually raise inflammation, blood sugar, and oxidative stress.

It’s wild how quick people are to blame one of the most protective, antioxidant, DNA-repairing molecules in the body… while ignoring the pile of candy in front of them.

Let’s get real.
Melatonin helps your mitochondria recover, lowers inflammation, and protects your heart.
What hurts your heart? The stuff in the candy bowl.

🚨 Melatonin & Heart Disease Study — Read Before You Panic 🚨

You may have seen the headlines claiming melatonin “raises heart failure risk by 90%.”
Let’s clear this up before everyone throws out their sleep gummies:

✅ Melatonin is still an incredible supplement — it’s one of the strongest antioxidants in the body, protects the mitochondria, and is the only known molecule that can directly repair damaged DNA.
It also plays a huge role in immune regulation, circadian rhythm, and inflammation control.

🧪 The study making the rounds has MAJOR caveats:

🔹 It was observational — meaning it shows correlation, NOT causation.
🔹 It only looked at people already diagnosed with chronic insomnia, which already increases cardiovascular risk.
🔹 The big scary “90% increased risk” is relative risk — in real numbers, that meant 4.6% vs 2.7% risk over 5 years.
🔹 No control for dosage, product quality, timing, lifestyle, or why the person needed melatonin in the first place.
🔹 Long-term nightly use (12+ months), NOT short-term or occasional use.

🧠 Bottom line:
Melatonin isn’t the villain—context is. Chronic sleep issues, poor dosing, and underlying inflammation are more likely the problem than melatonin itself.

💡 Use it wisely, not fearfully. Short-term + proper dosing = great tool. Long-term with no root-cause work = time to reevaluate.

💚 “Balance Before You Supplement”

Before adding another supplement, test what your body actually needs.

The OmegaQuant test ($85) at Cram Chiropractic shows if your cells are swimming in too much omega-6 or not enough omega-3.

📊 We like to see the ratio around 3:1 — most people sit closer to 12:1, meaning their body is stuck in inflammation mode.

🧠 Food First Tips:
• 2 servings of wild-caught fish per week
• 1 Tbsp flaxseed or chia daily
• Use avocado or olive oil
• Limit fried foods & snacks made with seed oils

Let’s get data-driven with your nutrition.
