Here’s how to treat sleep like medicine (and reduce systemic inflammation in the process):

• Get outside within 30 minutes of waking (5–10 min of natural light).

• Keep a consistent sleep/wake time—even on weekends.

• Cut caffeine after 2 PM; limit alcohol (it fragments deep sleep).

• Dim lights/screens 2 hours before bed; use blue-light filters if needed.

• Cool, dark, quiet bedroom (65–68°F), no doom-scrolling in bed.

• Prioritize protein + fiber at dinner; avoid heavy late-night meals.

• Consider targeted support (magnesium glycinate, glycine, melatonin) only if appropriate.

From a functional medicine lens, poor sleep = higher CRP, insulin resistance, gut dysbiosis, hormone disruption.

If you’re “doing everything right” but still feel tired, we dig deeper: micronutrient status, cortisol rhythm, thyroid, Omega-3 index and gut health.

Feeling exhausted, inflamed, or foggy?
And yet your labs keep coming back “normal”?
You’re not imagining it.

Here’s why “normal” can miss the problem (and what we check instead):

• Sick-range vs. optimal-range: Lab ranges are population averages, not targets for vibrant health.

• Incomplete panels: TSH “normal” can hide thyroid issues without Free T3, Free T4, rT3, antibodies.

• Blind spots: No one looked at insulin, A1c, hs-CRP, ferritin, homocysteine, or Omega-3 index.

• Timing matters: Single snapshots miss cortisol rhythm (AM/PM pattern), not just a one-off level.

• Nutrient gaps: “In range” B12 can still be functionally low without methylmalonic acid/folate context.

• Gut-brain axis: Stool testing can reveal dysbiosis, low SIgA, parasites, or yeast driving systemic symptoms.

• S*x hormone balance: Saliva/DUTCH clarify perimenopause, PMS, sleep issues, and mood changes.

• Trends > one result: We track patterns across time, not just a green checkmark.

My functional medicine approach:

Map symptoms → targeted advanced labs (micronutrient, thyroid complete, insulin resistance, inflammation, stool, cortisol, hormones).

Build a personal nutrition plan (food, lifestyle, evidence-based nutraceuticals, chiropractic + nervous system support).

Re-test to confirm progress.

If your labs say “normal” but you don’t feel fine, let’s find what they missed.

If your body can’t recognize it as food, your cells can’t use it as fuel.

Ultra-processed food products are engineered to hijack appetite, spike dopamine, and derail blood sugar—setting you up for cravings, fatigue, inflammation, and weight gain.

The antidote is simple (not easy): build every plate around real food.

How to spot “metabolic chaos”:
• Afternoon crashes and constant snacking
• Cravings after you’ve “already eaten”
• Bloat, brain fog, and unstable moods
• Hunger that returns within 1–2 hours

A simple real-food plate:
• Protein: eggs, fish, poultry, grass-fed meats, tofu/tempeh
• Fiber + color: 2 fists of vegetables, 1 piece berries/fruit
• Healthy fats: olive oil, avocado, olives, nuts/seeds
• Smart carbs (as needed): potatoes, squash, quinoa, oats, rice (minimally processed)

Upgrade your staples (easy swaps):
• Flavored yogurt → plain Greek yogurt + berries
• Cereal bars → handful of nuts + fruit
• Seed-oil chips → roasted potatoes or popcorn in olive oil
• Sugary drinks → water, mineral water, or unsweetened iced tea
• Packaged dressings → olive oil + lemon + sea salt

If it touches your skin, it enters your system.

Most bathrooms are a chemistry lab
884 products on the market are toxic
146 are linked to tumors
2,118 to reproductive complications
and 314 cause skin/eye irritation.

That’s not “self-care”, that’s a daily exposure plan.

So how do we avoid these products from harming our body?

Avoid them !

Have an assessment of your health, do a detox plan specifically for your problem.

At our clinic, we review your personal-care/cleaning products and look for endocrine disruptors.

We test what matters - Hormones, micronutrients, liver function and toxin burden to identify what’s impacting energy, mood, skin and fertility.

We then replace strategically –

Recommend swapping to all-natural skin and home-care lines that will, lower exposure (not just “greenwashed”).

Support detox pathways - Nutrition + targeted supplements for liver phase I/II support, bile flow, fiber and hydration so your body can clear what you can’t avoid.

We then create a personalized plan for you - a simple, sustainable routine that fits your life and reduces risk over time.

We used to think processed food was just "empty calories."

We now know it’s much more dangerous than that.

It’s an active biological disruptor.

A massive new review of over 100 studies has confirmed what Functional Medicine has argued for years: Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) are linked to damage in nearly every organ system in the body.

Source: http://thelancet.com/series-do/ultra-processed-food

Here is the Functional Medicine perspective: When you eat industrial ingredients, your immune system tags them as "foreign invaders."

This keeps your body in a state of chronic low-grade inflammation.

This inflammation is the root cause of the modern chronic disease crisis—from diabetes to depression.

But here is the good news: Your body is designed to heal. It just needs the right materials.

And it begins with awareness, nourishment and the right support.

Your symptoms are speaking. Are you truly listening?

In the world of functional medicine, guesswork has no place.
We believe in data, not assumptions.
In testing, not trends.
In uncovering root causes, not masking symptoms.

Whether you're dealing with chronic fatigue, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, or simply not feeling like yourself—the answers are in your labs.

It’s time to stop guessing and start investigating. Your healing journey deserves a deeper approach—one that honors your uniqueness and empowers your well-being. 💚

At Kulp Chiropractic & Nutrition, we focus on addressing and treating the root cause of your health challenges, not just the symptoms, with personalized nutritional support protocols to help you achieve your desired health goals.

New year, same mission: help you feel like yourself, only better.

Start with the basics that move the needle: protein at breakfast, 8+ cups of water, 30 minutes of movement and a consistent sleep window.

Then personalize it. I use functional testing to build plans that stick, testing micronutrients, hormones, gut health, inflammation markers.

If you’re ready for clarity (not quick fixes), book your consult at 610-208-0404.

Test, don’t guess.

Let’s make 2026 your strongest year yet.

Happy Healthy New Year 2026

Let’s be real—women are often told to “push through it,” to normalize fatigue, mood swings, painful cycles, or feeling off.

But here’s the truth:
👉 Your symptoms are signals, not inconveniences.
👉 Your body isn’t broken—it’s communicating.
👉 And it deserves to be heard.

In functional medicine, we don’t silence hormones with a quick fix.

We investigate the root cause, we listen, and we support the body with:
🧪 Functional hormone testing (like saliva or DUTCH tests)
🥗 Nutrient-dense, hormone-friendly food
🌿 Herbal & lifestyle-based interventions
💤 Restorative sleep, movement, and stress care

The goal? Sustainable balance—not suppression.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start healing, let’s work together to bring your hormones (and your life) back into alignment.

🚨 This is no longer just a "diet trend." It’s a public health emergency.

A massive global research review has just confirmed what Functional Medicine practitioners have been warning about for years: Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) are damaging the human body at every level.

We have traded nourishment for convenience, and our biology is collapsing under the weight of it.

Read through to understand exactly what UPFs are doing to your gut, hormones, and brain and more importantly, how to stop the damage.

The science is clear: ❌ UPFs disrupt hunger hormones.
❌ They damage the gut lining. ❌ They trigger inflammation in the brain.

But here is the good news: Your body is always trying to heal you. It just needs a break from the industrial ingredients so it can do its job.

And it begins with awareness, nourishment and the right support.

This season, choose moments and meals that truly nourish your body.

Add color to your plate (greens, reds, omega-3s), hydrate between gatherings, get a short walk in after dinner and protect your sleep.

Small choices compound into big wins for energy, mood, and longevity.

Wishing you a Merry Happy & Healthy Christmas
