Definitely not perfect here.

But I’m also not the practitioner who tells you to just keep adding supplements when your body can’t absorb what you’re already taking.

Here’s why 👇
Your health is only as good as your ability to digest and absorb nutrients.
If your gut is inflamed, your stomach acid is low, your enzymes are sluggish, or your microbiome is off…those high-quality supplements? They’re expensive visitors that never unpack.

This is why someone can “eat clean,” take all the right things, and still feel exhausted, foggy, inflamed, or stuck.

In functional medicine, we don’t just ask what you’re taking.

We ask:
• Can you break it down?
• Can you absorb it?
• Can your cells actually use it?

Less guessing.
More physiology.
Better results.

If you’re tired of the noise and want support that actually makes sense, comment ABSORB.

f you’ve ever felt confused about why your body suddenly reacts differently to food, stress, or missed meals—this post is for you.

This matters because unstable blood sugar can amplify hormone symptoms during perimenopause and make everything feel harder than it needs to be.

I work with women every day who are doing “all the right things” and still dealing with fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, anxiety, or stubborn hormone symptoms.
When you understand the why, everything else gets easier—and far less frustrating.

If any of these were the question:

• Why does my stress level feel like it’s trying to win an Olympic event?
• Why does my neck suddenly feel like concrete?
• Why am I tired but also wildly overstimulated for absolutely no reason?
• Why do I feel “off” even though all my labs say I’m “fine”?
• Why does my body forget how to relax unless I’m horizontal and emotionally unavailable?

…then acupuncture is definitely the answer.

It calms the nervous system, regulates stress hormones, opens blood flow, eases pain, improves sleep, and restores that deep exhale your body hasn’t felt in a while.

Have you tried it yet?

You might walk out feeling like someone upgraded your entire operating system.

A functional medicine workup looks at your thyroid, hormones, adrenals, gut, nutrients, inflammation, and lifestyle context — together.

If any of those questions felt a little too familiar, a deeper evaluation is definitely the answer.

Let’s make your labs make sense and make a plan that actually works in real life.

Why this works 👇

Because your spine is not dramatic — it’s communicative.

The stiffness, the tension, the limited range of motion, the “wow I didn’t even do anything and now my back hurts”… those are early signals.

Most people wait until their spine is screaming before they get help, and then wonder why it takes longer to feel better.

When you listen early — when you stretch, hydrate, move intentionally, and get adjusted before pain takes over — your whole nervous system stays calmer, your posture stays stronger, and your mobility stays yours.

Small habits now prevent the big “why-can’t-I-turn-my-neck?” moments later.

💊 Melatonin & Heart Risk? Let’s Evaluate the New Study.

You may have seen headlines claiming “Melatonin linked to heart failure.”

Here’s what the study really said—and what it didn’t.

🧠 A recent conference abstract (not peer-reviewed or published) looked at 130,000+ adults with insomnia.

Those who used melatonin for over a year were more likely to have heart failure, be hospitalized, or die from any cause.

But… ⚠️ there are major limitations:

• No info on dose, timing, brand, or quality. OTC melatonin varies widely, and no dose-response was analyzed.

• Insomnia severity wasn’t measured. Worse insomnia itself raises heart risk—this could be reverse causation.

• Sleep apnea wasn’t addressed. It’s a major hidden cause of both insomnia and heart issues.

• Lifestyle factors like alcohol, smoking, shift work, diet, and stress weren’t included.

• Medications & comorbidities (thyroid, anxiety, beta-blockers, antidepressants) also affect both sleep and heart health.

• And since melatonin is OTC in the U.S., many users weren’t even counted.

🩺 In plain English:

This study shows an association, not proof. It’s a reason to study melatonin safety more—not a reason to panic or toss your supplements.

💡 If you take melatonin:
✔️ Ask why you need it nightly.
✔️ Get screened for sleep apnea, thyroid, adrenal, and heart health.
✔️ Prioritize circadian rhythm habits—morning light, consistent schedule, evening wind-down.

Melatonin is a hormone, not a vitamin. It deserves respect—not fear.

Let’s focus on root causes of sleep issues, not quick fixes.
