I don't use the DUTCH test just for s*x hormones...I use it for cortisol patterns too.

Here's why ⬇️

Your saliva cortisol can look "normal".
The DUTCH, though, will show metabolized cortisol. This is how much your body is actually producing and breaking down.

If that number is high, it can mean your body is overproducing cortisol & clearing it quickly just to keep levels looking normal. Your body is intelligent like that. It will adapt.

So on paper? You look fine.
But in reality? Your body is working overtime.

This is why testing deeper is important. 🌿

Interstitial Cystitis has root causes - not just symptoms. Sharing some of the biggest ones I see (and experienced myself). 💛

Ever feel like your emotions are more intense than they should be… or harder to come down from?

It's often believed that your genes determine your destiny. That's not necessarily true, but they do influence how your body processes things like stress, mood, and neurotransmitters.

And one gene that plays a big role in this is MAO-A.

MAO-A is an enzyme that breaks down your neurotransmitters - primarily serotonin.

Mutations here will slow the break down. When it's slower (+/+) serotonin and stress-related neurotransmitters hang around longer than they should.

This can look like:

• Feeling emotions very deeply
• Irritability or mood swings
• Anxiety or feeling on edge
• Overthinking or rumination
• Trouble “letting things go”
• Feeling overwhelmed more easily

A build up of serotonin also can interact with histamine systems contributing to histamine-related issues.

This looks like:

• Headaches
• Flushing
• Skin Reactions including Itching
• Sinus Congestion
• Racing Heart
• Food Reactions

Most people treat these as separate issues:

“I have anxiety”
“I have histamine intolerance”

But in some people, they’re connected through slower breakdown pathways.

Most people assume:
👉 “Low serotonin = I need more”

But if MAO-A is slower, adding more serotonin support can sometimes make you feel even worse:
• Increase irritability
• Increase emotional intensity
• Make you feel overstimulated

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's worth knowing your MAO-A status. Better yet, pair it with an Organic Acid Test and you can see much more easily what's happening with your serotonin. 🌿

You can do all the "right" things for your health, but if you're in a toxic relationship, it's going to affect your ability to heal.

Relationships impact your nervous system, your stress hormones, your energy - all of it.

Sometimes rather than adding more supplements and routines - you need to create distance from what's harming you. 💛

Welcome to the supplement graveyard 💀

Half-used bottles.
Things you “heard were good.”
The ONE that was supposed to fix everything.

We’ve all been there - trying all the things hoping one will be the answer.

A collection of “maybe this will help” purchases all
taken without knowing:
• What you’re deficient in
• Which pathways need support
• What your body actually needs

We thought testing was too expensive, so we thought we'd try this one other supplement and maybe that was the answer. But when you take time to add up all those useless supplements in your drawer - or cabinet - or tote... You realize you could have run the tests and found out what you really needed verses trying things that worked for that one influencer you follow...

Supplements can be powerful…
but only when they’re targeted and intentional.

If you're ready to stop guessing, reach out! I'd love to help you find out what your body really needs to heal. ✨

COMT is a gene that helps break down neurotransmitters like dopamine, adrenaline, and norepinephrine.

In simple terms:
👉 It helps your body “turn off” the stress response.

When COMT is slower (which can be very common), those stimulating chemicals can hang around longer than they should.

This can present as:
• Overthinking or racing thoughts
• Feeling “wired but tired”
• Trouble relaxing or winding down
• Increased anxiety or stress sensitivity
• Sensitivity to caffeine
• Hormone-related mood swings

COMT also plays a role in breaking down estrogen, which means it can impact:
• PMS symptoms
• Estrogen dominance patterns
• Hormone balance overall

And this is where it gets even MORE important…

A lot of people are told to take methylated B vitamins (like methyl folate) because of an MTHFR variant.

But if COMT is slow, adding more methyl donors can actually increase stimulation.

This can lead to:
• More anxiety
• Racing thoughts
• Feeling “wired” or overstimulated
• Poor sleep

This happens because you’re essentially adding more fuel to a system that already has a hard time clearing it.

So when it comes to genetics....it's really important to look at MORE than just MTHFR, which seems to be the current trend.

Look at the full picture. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms after taking methylated vitamins---this could be why. 🌿

Your body runs on light cues. 💡

Morning sunlight helps anchor your circadian rhythm & set up melatonin for later.

Cloud cover doesn't block the signal - but windows do.

At night, artificial light (especially bright/blue light) can disrupt the entire cycle.

Simple shifts lead to better sleep, better energy & better health. 🌿

You won't heal your gut from Facebook advice. Trust Me. I tried.Now, I recoginze the irony that this is indeed, a Facebo...

You won't heal your gut from Facebook advice.
Trust Me. I tried.

Now, I recoginze the irony that this is indeed, a page. But the issue is that the same symptoms aren't always the same causes.

What works for one person, won't necessarily work for someone else.

You need to TEST. Especially when it comes to the gut. There are trillions of bacteria that live on and in the human body with the majority of them being in your gut. You need to know what's going on in there before you'll know how to address it.

Chasing symptoms is a long and expensive road. 🌿

Sick fish? 🐟
Clean the tank.

Sick human? 👩🏼‍🦰
We often medicate the symptoms.

It seems like a no brainer when it comes to fish.....But the body heals best when the terrain is supportive. Think: nutrition, detox pathways, stress balance, sleep, and gut health. Integrative healing looks at the tank as well as the fish. 🌿

How's Your Light Diet? ☀️

We talk a lot about our food diet, but sunlight helps regulate your circadian rhythm, produce vitamin D, support neurotransmitters, power mitochondria, and calm inflammation.

Sometimes the most powerful medicine is free and right outside your door. 🌿
