If you’ve been feeling run-down, inflamed, or just not as energized as you’d like, spirulina may be a simple addition that gives your system a natural lift.

Spirulina is a nutrient-packed blue-green algae filled with antioxidants, amino acids, B vitamins, proteins, and minerals your body uses for energy production, detoxification, and immune balance. It’s especially helpful for supporting stable blood sugar, reducing inflammation, and filling in nutritional gaps when life gets hectic.

Most people enjoy it as a powder in smoothies or choose capsules for an easier option. As always, supplements work best when they fit the bigger picture of your health; so if you’re unsure where to start, our nutrition specialist is here to guide you.

Thinking about adding Spirulina to your routine? Send us a DM and we can help you choose what’s right for you.

Disclaimer: Always talk with your primary care provider before starting, stopping, or changing any supplements. Spirulina may interact with certain medications or health conditions, and your provider can help ensure it’s safe and appropriate for you.

Happy Nurse Practitioner Week! ✨

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible work, dedication, and heart that Nurse Practitioners bring to healthcare. We are especially grateful for our own founder, Family Nurse Practitioner Cheryl Morgan, whose vision and compassion shaped The Center for Intentional Health.

Nurse Practitioners are often the steady hands and listening ears patients rely on most. They blend clinical expertise with whole-person care, meeting people exactly where they are and helping them move toward healthier, more intentional lives. Cheryl built our practice on those very principles: empathy, education, and a belief that every person deserves care that sees the full picture — not just the symptoms.

To all NPs: thank you for leading with knowledge, kindness, and courage.
To Cheryl: thank you for showing us what true intentional care looks like every day. 💚

The holidays are about connection — laughter, family, and shared memories. But they also offer a quiet chance to check in on the people who once cared for us. ❤️

As you visit parents or grandparents this season, take a moment to notice the little things; a cluttered space, unopened mail, changes in mood or mobility.

These small signs can reveal when daily life is becoming too hard to manage alone. If something feels off, it’s okay to talk about it with love and patience.

A simple check-in today could prevent bigger challenges down the road and remind your loved ones that they’re not alone.

💬 Want guidance on what signs to look for or how to start that conversation? Send us a DM! We’re here to help you support your loved ones with confidence and compassion.

Try Box Breathing when trying to calm a racing heart.

💧 Water is life.
Clean, safe water shouldn’t be a privilege — it’s the foundation of health, dignity, and hope. Every drop we protect, every well we fund, every voice we raise makes a difference.

Let’s stand for those still waiting for what so many of us take for granted. 🌍
Because when we give water, we give life.

🌿 Saturday Supplement Spotlight: L-Glutamine

If you’ve been feeling bloated, tired, or just “off” after meals, your gut may be trying to tell you something. L-Glutamine is one of the most overlooked nutrients that can make a difference.

L-Glutamine is an amino acid that plays a critical role in gut repair and immune health. Think of it as fuel for the cells that line your intestines; helping them rebuild, seal, and strengthen your gut barrier. When your gut lining is strong, you absorb nutrients better, reduce inflammation, and calm that constant feeling of fatigue or sluggish digestion.

Here’s why we love it in functional medicine care:
✨ It supports a healthy intestinal lining (“leaky gut” repair)
✨ Reduces sugar cravings by stabilizing blood sugar
✨ Helps the body recover from stress or illness
✨ Promotes steady energy and a clearer mind

And the best part? You can support your natural L-Glutamine levels through food, too. Some of the richest sources include bone broth, pasture-raised eggs, grass-fed beef, wild-caught fish, cabbage, spinach, and beets.

Whether you’re adding a scoop of L-Glutamine powder to your morning smoothie or focusing on glutamine-rich foods at mealtime, your gut will thank you and so will your energy levels.

💬 Tell us in the comments: Have you ever tried L-Glutamine or noticed a difference in your digestion when you added more gut-healing foods to your diet?

Disclaimer: Don't add or change supplements without first discussing it with your healthcare provider. This post does not replace a professional consultation.

If you’ve been told your blood sugar problems are just about carbs and insulin… it’s time for a deeper look.

At The Center for Intentional Health, we take a functional medicine approach. This means we go beyond symptoms to find the root cause of imbalance. And when it comes to diabetes or blood sugar struggles, one of the biggest root causes we see is… the gut.

Here’s what most people don’t realize

🌿 1. Leaky Gut = Inflammation = Insulin Resistance
When your gut lining becomes “leaky,” tiny particles slip into your bloodstream, triggering inflammation, and inflammation is the enemy of insulin.

🦠 2. Gut Bacteria Imbalance (Dysbiosis)
Your microbiome affects everything from sugar cravings to fat storage.
When “bad bugs” outnumber the good ones, your blood sugar becomes harder to control (even when your diet looks healthy).

⚡ 3. Hidden Infections (Yeast, Parasites, Bacteria)
These stress your immune system and adrenal glands, driving up cortisol. Which keeps blood sugar elevated and energy unpredictable.

You might be doing all the right things (eating clean, staying active, maybe even on medication) but if your gut is off balance, your blood sugar never fully stabilizes.

The good news? Your gut can heal.
And when it does, your metabolism and energy begin to work with you again.

The next step is FREE. Comment ‘7 Day Reset’ and we will DM you a link to the E-guide!

✨ This Diabetes Education Week, take a step toward root-cause healing.
We specialize in uncovering what’s really driving your symptoms through advanced gut, hormone, and inflammation testing.

If you would like to learn more in person comment 'Consultation' and we'll reach out to set up an new patient assessment with you.

Feeling extra stiff as the temps start to drop? ❄️

You’re not alone! As the weather cools down, many people start to notice more tension and discomfort in their joints.

The drop in temperature can cause muscles to tighten and circulation to slow, making joints feel achy, creaky, or harder to move. For those who already manage arthritis or past injuries, this seasonal stiffness can feel even more noticeable.

But here’s the good news! You can stay comfortable and keep your body feeling mobile all winter long! With a few simple habits, you can support your joints, boost flexibility, and prevent that cold-weather stiffness from slowing you down. Think of this season as a chance to tune in, care for your body, and build warmth from the inside out. 🔥

-Layer your clothing.  Wear multiple layers to trap heat, especially on knees, hands and hips.
-Use heat therapy.  Soothe joints with warm baths, showers, or heating pads to relax muscles and improve blood flow.
-Exercise regularly.  Maintain flexibility and strength with low-impact activities like walking, swimming, cycling, or yoga. 
-Stay hydrated. Proper hydration helps maintain the lubrication in your joints.
- Eat an anti-inflammatory diet: Incorporate foods rich in omega-3s, like fatty fish, nuts, and seeds, to help reduce inflammation

This season, think of movement as medicine. Your joints will thank you later!
