COMMENT “LABS” & I’ll send you my Functional Lab Guide ✨🥼📊

One year. One test. Real data → real change.

I started in a “3 Lows” pattern (burnout, low resilience, brain fog 😵‍💫)… and instead of guessing, I followed a custom mineral balancing plan built specifically off my HTMA — not a blanket multivitamin.

Here’s what actually moved the needle 👇

🧬 What I did differently:
• Used a Vykon custom mineral blend based on my exact ratios (not generic formulas)
• Adjusted nutrition to prioritize the minerals I was deficient in (food first 🍒)
• Added targeted supplementation only where needed
• Bound specific metals + reduced daily exposure
• Supported my nervous system with vagus nerve + stress regulation work 😮‍💨
• Focused on adrenals through circadian rhythm + Ayurvedic support ☀️
• Prioritized deep, consistent sleep 😴
• Balanced blood sugar for my unique metabolic type

✨ How I feel now:
• Energy is UP ⚡️
• Brain fog is GONE
• More calm, focused, and resilient

📊 What changed on my HTMA:
• Moved OUT of 3 Lows pattern
• Na/K ratio optimal → better stress response + energy
• Ca/K improving → thyroid hormone getting into the cell 🔥
• Heavy metals decreasing
• Overall mineral patterns more balanced

This wasn’t random.
It was data → strategy → consistency.

🌟Why this matters:
HTMA can reveal what bloodwork often misses:
• Root causes of fatigue + burnout
• Brain fog + low motivation
• Thyroid symptoms (even with “normal” labs)
• Why protocols aren’t working
• Copper imbalance + heavy metals
• “Calcium shell” patterns (stuck in survival mode)

If you feel like you’re doing everything right but not getting results… there’s usually a missing layer.

You shouldn’t feel sick walking through a grocery store.

If the detergent or cleaning aisle gives you:
• brain fog
• headaches
• dizziness
• irritation

🚩 That’s not “normal sensitivity.”

It’s often a sign your body has lost tolerance to everyday exposures.

What I see clinically behind this:

🟢 Overactive mast cells (immune system on high alert)
🟢 Increased toxic burden
🟢 Impaired detox pathways
🟢 Gut + barrier dysfunction

This is commonly seen in patterns like:
• Mast Cell Activation (MCAS)
• Chronic inflammation
• Toxic burden + impaired clearance

And no — this doesn’t mean you need to “just avoid everything forever.”

It means your body needs support so it can become more resilient again.

✨ This is exactly where functional testing changes everything.

We look at:
• Gut health (GI-MAP)
• Detox + nutrient status (HTMA, bloodwork)
• Immune + inflammatory patterns

So we can stop guessing — and actually rebuild tolerance.

You don’t have to live reacting to everything.

This is the foundation most women skip…
and why symptoms show up later.

Comment “RESET” and I’ll send you my full framework for restoring function
⬇️

• I would’ve run an HTMA way sooner instead of guessing at what vitamins and minerals I actually needed. Mineral balance (especially potassium) — is CRUCIAL for energy, thyroid function, adrenal resilience, and nervous system stability.

• Liver support (not extreme detoxes) — your liver clears hormones, toxins, and inflammation daily. Gentle, consistent support > aggressive cleanses.

• Going gluten-free earlier — you don’t need celiac for gluten to impact you. It can open gut tight junctions, trigger immune responses, and drive sensitivities over time.

• Sleep like it matters (because it does) — poor sleep = disrupted cortisol, blood sugar instability, hormone chaos, and faster aging.

• Morning sunlight — regulates cortisol rhythm, metabolism, mood, and hormone signaling. This is foundational, not optional.

• Stress management — chronic stress isn’t just mental… it impacts gut health, hormones, minerals, immune function—everything. And a lot of the time stress is “perceived stress”.

• Alcohol awareness — nightly wine isn’t “neutral.” It impacts liver detox, sleep quality, and hormone balance.

• Balancing omega-3 : omega-6 — less seed oils, more anti-inflammatory fats. This alone shifts inflammation and cellular health.

• Birth control education — I was on it for 15 years… and no one explained what it does to minerals, mood, liver, and long-term hormone signaling.

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about understanding the patterns that create symptoms later.

Most women don’t have a hormone problem.
They have a foundational imbalance that shows up as one.

If you’re dealing with BLOATING, FATIGUE, GERD, JOINT PAIN, IBS… you gotta read this :

Inflammation is one of the most common things I see in my practice 🔥

But inflammation itself isn’t the problem…
It’s a signal 🚨

The real question is: what’s driving it?

In most cases, inflammation comes from three primary sources:

👉 Food
👉 Pathogens
👉 Toxins

🥑 Food
Food can act as an immune trigger — even when you’re eating “clean.”

Delayed food sensitivities aren’t always obvious and can drive inflammation daily.

On MRT food sensitivity testing, I often see reactions clients had no idea were happening. This isn’t IGG testing, this is Mediator Release (inflammation) from white blood cells immediately when exposed to foods you eat.

🦠 Pathogens
These include bacterial overgrowths, parasites, yeast, and infections like H. pylori.

On GI-MAP, it’s very common to uncover hidden imbalances that contribute to:
• gut inflammation
• poor digestion
• ongoing immune activation

☣️ On Organic Acids Test we see: Toxins
This includes mold, environmental chemicals, and how well your body detoxes.

⚠️ When these root causes aren’t addressed, inflammation continues —
no matter how “healthy” you’re eating or how many supplements you take.

This is why I don’t guess.
👉 I test.

Because once you understand what’s driving inflammation in your body,
you can actually resolve it — not just manage it.

If you’re dealing with:
• bloating
• fatigue
• IBS
• GERD

…and nothing is working

Follow for content that helps women ditch fatigue, bloating, unpredictable digestion, and skin issues without more meds, cleanses, topicals, or restrictive diets.

Most doctors say: “Everything looks normal” or “Just take a probiotic.”

Most coaches tell you to cut carbs, go dairy/gluten-free, try this cleanse, or train harder.

This page is different — I focus on the root causes keeping women stuck: hormone imbalances, gut & liver issues, mineral deficiencies, poor sleep, and stress.

I use personalized functional lab testing (gut, minerals, hormones) + simple, doable habits that actually fit your life.

No guesswork — just data-driven, root-cause strategies so your energy comes back, bloating calms down, skin clears, sleep and mood improves… and weight loss becomes a natural byproduct of getting healthy.

If you’re tired of feeling “off” despite trying supplements and plans that weren’t built for you, you’re in the right place.

Throwback
Seeing the end of the rainbow 🌈 right in front of me in Waimea Canyon State Park. Pretty epic
Rainbows have always been special to me even as a kid. Amazing I landed in rainbow central to live as an adult.

That’s all! Have a beautiful and magical day!

About Appelusa

MY BACKGROUND

For over 20 years I trained athletes and beginners alike as a USA Roller Sports figure coach, spawning regional and national champions. Prior to that I became a bronze medalist at the 2002 World Championships in Germany in the "Show" event. Living in Los Angeles, there isn't a shortage of entertainment opportunities for roller skaters. I have had the great pleasure to skate in, coach or choreograph countless music videos, commercials, TV shows and films. Most notably Chet Faker's "GOLD" music video with more than 200 million hits on YouTube, in HBO's SHARP OBJECTS and behind Katy Perry.

MY PERSONAL HEALING JOURNEY

After suffering a severe whiplash injury in 2015, I struggled to keep coaching and performing. Allopathic medicine wasn't helping. After numerous scans, injections, multiple forms of physical therapy, and even a nerve ablation, I turned to alternative medicine. I became Reiki certified so I could work on myself. I developed a home practice, I changed my thought patterns, and then I started to heal. I became certified in Reiki I and II, as a Biopulsar Biofeedback technician, and in Biofield Tuning. My road to recovery was long but yours doesn't have to be. I am now focused on bringing my awareness and knowledge of the body's electrical system and it's intelligent healing capabilities to all who cross my path with an interest to heal. Energy medicine isn't a quick fix. What drew me to alternative medicine is that conventional medicine tends towards symptom control where as holistic approaches focus on the root of the problem. While there will always be a need for conventional medicine, I believe we are starting to remember how to heal ourselves.
