Is it really IBS…or just a misdiagnosed gut imbalance? Let’s break this down šŸ‘‡

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is often a default diagnosis when doctors can't pinpoint a cause for bloating, pain, constipation, or diarrhea. But IBS isn’t a root cause, it’s a collection of symptoms.
And here’s what might actually be behind it:

• SIBO: an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine that creates gas, bloating, and motility issues
• Candida: yeast overgrowth triggered by sugar, antibiotics, or stress
• Parasites: yes, even in developed countries. They’re more common than you think
• Food sensitivities: that activate inflammation and wreck your gut lining

Functional medicine uses advanced testing to identify what’s really going on, so you don’t have to play guessing games with your health. We can help!

It’s easy to blame stress or poor sleep, but if everyday tasks feel harder than they should, there may be more to the story.

Adult inattentive ADHD often hides behind symptoms like:

• Chronic forgetfulness
• Mental fatigue
• Disorganization
• Trouble starting or finishing tasks

Wellness doesn’t have to be a checklist of high-effort rituals. It doesn’t have to take over your life. Some of the most powerful healing work comes from doing less, but doing it consistently.

Start here:

šŸ½ Eat enough real food (with protein at every meal)
šŸ’¤ Prioritize deep sleep
šŸ“‰ Stabilize blood sugar
🧠 Support your nervous system daily (walks > workouts, breath > burnout)

That’s it. That’s the baseline.

When you focus on the foundations, everything else works better and feels lighter. If wellness feels like a second job, let’s simplify it. Book your consultation today.

If you’re constantly distracted, mentally foggy, or struggling to follow through, there’s a chance you’re dealing with inattentive-type ADHD.

This often-missed form doesn’t always come with hyperactivity, which is why so many adults (especially women) go undiagnosed for years. Instead, it looks like forgetfulness, disorganization, procrastination, and emotional burnout.

Craving sweets 24/7? Constantly reaching for snacks? You’re not undisciplined. You’re likely underfed. Especially on protein.

When you skip protein at breakfast or snack on carbs all day, your blood sugar crashes, and your body sends you an SOS in the form of cravings.

Here’s what protein does that helps stop the craving spiral:

šŸ”¹ Balances blood sugar so you don’t crash and binge
šŸ”¹ Helps you feel full + stable longer
šŸ”¹ Provides amino acids that support neurotransmitters (aka mood, focus, motivation)
šŸ”¹ Reduces the ā€œstressā€ signal that triggers emotional eating

Aiming for 25–30g of protein at each meal can be a game changer, especially for women.

A drop in blood sugar at night, or a premature spike in cortisol, can activate your nervous system and jolt you awake. This is especially common if you eat too late, skip meals, or are under chronic stress.

Your body interprets these imbalances as threats, kicking on your ā€œalert modeā€ when you should be in deep sleep.

In our latest blog, we explain how to spot the signs, test for imbalances, and rebalance your blood sugar and stress hormones for deeper, uninterrupted sleep.

If you're constantly getting sick, fighting off digestive issues, or can’t seem to shake fatigue, your immune system might be suppressed, and it almost always starts in the gut.

Here's where garlic comes in:

🦠 It's naturally antimicrobial, helping reduce bad bacteria without destroying all your good gut flora.
🧫 It’s antiviral, which can help stop that "on the edge of getting sick" feeling before it turns into a full-blown infection.
šŸ”„ It's anti-inflammatory, which supports your immune system at a foundational level — not just symptom control.
🌿 It also supports detoxification, helping your liver clear out toxins that can drain your energy.

For prevention include raw or lightly cooked garlic daily in meals. For active support: chop 1 clove, let it rest 10 minutes (to activate allicin), then swallow like a pill (don’t chew!)
Or go for an aged garlic extract supplement, especially if raw garlic bothers your stomach.

Supplements aren’t magic pills. They won’t fix a poor diet, chronic stress, or lack of sleep. And more isn’t always better.

But when used with intention supplements can fill real gaps your lifestyle, environment, or food can’t always cover.

The truth is, most people are low in the basics. Here are 3 foundational supplements we reach for again and again in practice:

šŸ”¹ Magnesium (glycinate or malate) Supports sleep, stress resilience, hormone regulation, and muscle function, and it’s depleted by stress, caffeine, and alcohol.
šŸ”¹ B-Complex (especially B12, B6, folate) Crucial for energy, mood, methylation, detox, and hormone balance. Birth control, stress, and plant-based diets increase need.
šŸ”¹ Omega-3s (EPA + DHA) Anti-inflammatory, brain-protective, and essential for hormones, skin, and cardiovascular health. Most diets are omega-6 heavy and omega-3 deficient.

These 3 alone can make a huge difference in energy, mood, focus, and recovery, ithout turning your cabinet into a pharmacy.

Bone loss isn’t just a menopause problem. It starts earlier and estrogen is the key.

Here’s what most women aren’t told:

šŸ”» Estrogen helps protect and maintain bone density
šŸ”» As estrogen declines (even in your late 30s!), bone loss accelerates
šŸ”» This can lead to silent conditions like osteopenia or osteoporosis, even before menopause hits

Common signs of low estrogen impacting bone health:

• Frequent joint pain
• Height loss
• Early dental issues
• Family history of fractures

Don't wait for a fracture to address your bones. We can look at your hormones, nutrient status, gut health, and inflammation to build strong bones before they break!

Most people assume snoring is something that only affects men, or that it’s harmless. But here’s what most women don’t realize: snoring can be a silent sign of hormonal imbalance, especially after age 35.

In women, snoring is often a subtle but serious indicator of obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where your breathing is briefly interrupted throughout the night.

When this happens, it can:
šŸ”¹ Spike your cortisol levels
šŸ”¹ Disrupt your blood sugar and insulin sensitivity
šŸ”¹ Worsen perimenopause and PMS symptoms
šŸ”¹ Increase brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue

If you wake up tired, even after 7–8 hours of sleep, or if your energy crashes by mid-afternoon, your sleep quality might be the issue, not your routine.
