Stress doesn’t just live in your mind, it lives in your gut too.

When stress is high, digestion slows, healthy gut bacteria can get disrupted, and your gut lining can become more vulnerable.
Common signs your gut is reacting to stress:
• Bloating or gas
• Constipation or diarrhea
• Fatigue
• Mood swings or irritability

Simple ways to support your gut under stress:
• Eat more fiber-rich foods
• Include healthy fats and wild-caught fish
• Slow down during meals
• Practice daily relaxation
• Prioritize sleep

Supporting your gut can help you feel calmer, more balanced, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges. 💛

Your gut and brain are in constant conversation through the gut-brain axis.
When the gut is inflamed or imbalanced, that “conversation” becomes stress, anxiety, low mood, and fatigue.
When it’s nourished and supported, the body shifts into balance, clarity, and calm.
Taking care of your gut is one of the most powerful things you can do for your mood and overall wellbeing. 🌿✨

Most people don’t realize your body detoxes in two phases, and both need support to actually work. 🌿

💥 Phase 1: Your liver breaks toxins down into smaller pieces.
⚠️ These pieces can become more toxic if they’re not cleared quickly.

💧 Phase 2: This phase binds and eliminates those toxins through bile, urine, and sweat.
When Phase 1 is faster than Phase 2, toxins can build up, leading to fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and low energy. 😩

Supporting both phases is simple:
🥦 Eat nutrient-rich whole foods (especially cruciferous veggies + protein)
💧 Stay hydrated
🏃‍♀️ Move your body and sweat

Balanced detox = a healthier, more energized you! 💚

Ever wonder why you still feel “off,” even when your bloodwork looks normal?
The DUTCH Test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) can help reveal the full picture.
Unlike traditional hormone testing, DUTCH analyzes both hormone levels and metabolites, showing how your body produces, uses, and clears hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and melatonin.

✅ Non-invasive, easy at-home collection
✅ Detailed insight into adrenal and reproductive health
✅ Identifies root causes of fatigue, mood shifts, PMS, sleep issues & more
✅ Monitors treatment efficacy for truly personalized care

By going deeper than standard tests, the DUTCH Test helps practitioners and patients uncover what’s really happening beneath the surface, and create a plan that supports whole-body balance.

Ask us how to order your DUTCH Test today and take the next step in your wellness journey.

Oxalate is an organic acid that derives from three sources: the diet, fungus, and human metabolism. If oxalic acid is very high in the blood being filtered by the kidneys, it may combine with calcium to form crystals that block urine flow and cause severe pain. In addition, crystals may form in the bones, joints, blood vessels, lungs, thyroid, and even the brain. This can impede the proper functions of these organs.

Foods high in oxalates are often thought to be healthy, including spinach, beets, chocolate, peanuts, tea, almonds, and berries.

The Organic Acids Test by The Great Plains Laboratory, Inc. is the only OAT on the market that evaluates levels of oxalates in the urine.

If you are interested in testing, please call us at (703)-430-8883.
