Let's talk about FIBER! 🍎🥑🥦🥬🍞🫘

This often-overlooked substance plays an interesting role in hormone metabolism.

🤓 Here’s how it works:
Fiber, especially from whole plant foods, helps your body eliminate excess hormones — particularly ESTROGEN. Once your liver processes hormones, they’re sent to the gut for removal. Without enough fiber, these hormones may be reabsorbed, leading to imbalance.

✴️ Benefits of fiber for hormone metabolism:

▪️Binds excess estrogen and other hormone byproducts so they can be excreted

▪️Feeds beneficial gut bacteria, which play a major role in estrogen regulation and detox

▪️Supports blood sugar stability, which helps regulate insulin — a key hormone tied to weight, inflammation, and reproductive health

▪️Improves bowel regularity, so hormone waste doesn’t linger in the body

There are two types of fiber:

🔹Soluble fiber (like oats, chia seeds, beans)

🔹Insoluble fiber (like leafy greens, seeds, whole grains)

❗Both are important — and most people need more of them.

Aim for AT LEAST 2️⃣5️⃣grams of fiber daily, from real, unprocessed plant foods.

If you're working on balancing hormones — PMS, PCOS, perimenopause, or general health — don’t overlook this powerful (and simple) daily tool.

THIS!!!
I can't tell you how many women have come into my practice taking one or more prescription medications to treat anxiety, insomnia, and "brain fog". Adjusting nutrition, exercise, and managing hormones is the real flex here. And the results? 🤌

It's Monday!

Have you set your intentions for the week?

Don’t overlook how critical mindfulness is—it’s not a “nice to have”; it’s a pillar of both health and success!

Take a moment today to breathe, reflect, and set clear intentions for the week ahead.

A few simple ways to get started:
📝 Do a brain dump—get all the thoughts and to-do’s out of your head and onto paper
✅ Make a short list of priorities or goals for the week
📓 Journal what you’re proud of from last week—and what you want to create next
🧘‍♀️ Take 5-10 minutes to sit in stillness and check in with how you feel

When you’re mindful of your goals and intentional with your energy, you shift from just surviving the week to moving toward what truly matters.

💥Check out the comments for a link to a short podcast with some tips on how to organize your thoughts and prioritize your goals!

Have a great week, Friends! 🙏🏻

GOOD MORNING, SUNSHINE! ☀️💛

Morning natural light isn’t just pleasant; it’s scientifically essential. Exposure to at least 5 minutes of natural light within the first 15 minutes of waking helps synchronize your circadian rhythm, the internal clock that regulates sleep, hormones, metabolism — and brain function.

Early light also signals your brain to stop producing melatonin (the sleep hormone) and boosts healthy cortisol and dopamine, which sharpen alertness, motivation, and focus. 🧠

It also stimulates serotonin production, improving mood, emotional resilience, and cognitive performance during the day — and later converting to melatonin for better sleep.

Even a few minutes of sun on your skin helps your body make vitamin D, which protects neurons, supports memory, and reduces brain inflammation.

So step outside for several minutes each morning, no sunglasses or glass in between, and let the sun wake up your body and your mind.

☀️ Good morning, sunshine!

Natural light exposure in the morning helps reset your circadian rhythm, which regulates your sleep-wake cycle, hormone production, and metabolism.

Just 10–20 minutes outside (without sunglasses) can:

🧠 Boost serotonin, improving mood and focus throughout the day
😴 Increase melatonin production later in the evening, helping you fall asleep more easily
📉 Lower cortisol levels (stress hormone) at the right time of day, which supports a calmer nervous system
🦴 Stimulate vitamin D production, essential for bone health, immune function, hormone synthesis, and inflammation control
🛡 Strengthen your immune system, helping your body fight infections and stay resilient

Before you grab your phone or coffee, step outside and let your body tune in to nature’s clock. It’s one of the easiest, most natural health habits you can build! 🌞

It's HOT, Wisconsin!! 🔥🥵 Are you staying hydrated?

💦 Hydration Isn’t Just About Water—Your Brain and Muscles Are Counting on It! 🧠💪

Let’s talk hydration! You msy be drinking lots of water…but are you actually hydrating?

🧠Your brain is about 75-80% water—and when you're even slightly dehydrated, you might notice foggy thinking, irritability, headaches, or fatigue.

💪And your muscles? They need fluid and electrolytes to contract, relax, and recover properly. That means cramps, weakness, and soreness are often signs your hydration game needs a serious upgrade.

Here’s the key: Water alone isn’t enough—especially if you’re sweating, active, or drinking caffeine or alcohol. You need electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium to actually hold on to the water and use it where your body needs it most.

✨ Better hydration = better focus, better energy, better performance, and fewer afternoon slumps or muscle cramps.

💡 I love Make Wellness HYDRATED—it’s tested for purity, contains functional doses of electrolytes and glycine (which supports recovery, sleep, and cognitive health), and tastes amazing without added junk.

Drink smart, not just more. 🥤🔥

Let’s Talk Mobility 🚶🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️

Mobility is our body’s ability to move freely and easily—and it’s something we often take for granted…until we don’t have it.

I have personally noticed decreasing mobility over the past few years. I even just purchased a mobility class to turn this around (yes, pun intended 😉)!

We tend to lose mobility over time due to inactivity, injury, aging, or simply not moving our joints through their full range of motion. But here’s the good news: you can maintain it—and even get it back.

✨ Daily movement, stretching, strength training, yoga and tai chi can help you stay mobile, reduce the risk of falls and injuries, and keep up with the kids (or grandkids!) without pain holding you back.

Mobility impacts everything—how we walk, bend, lift, and live. It’s key to staying active, independent, and confident in your body at any age.

Did you know your brain has its own “fertilizer”?
BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) is a powerful protein that helps grow new brain cells, supports memory, and boosts mood. It’s like "Miracle-Gro" for your mind!

You can naturally increase BDNF with:

🏃🏼‍♀️Exercise

☀️Sunlight

😴Sleep

🥬Anti-inflammatory foods (think berries, turmeric, leafy greens)

🙏🏻Mindfulness & meditation

💥And now, you can add FOCUSED: a true gem of a peptide!

In addition to providing BDNF, FOCUSED:
🧠 Balances neurotransmitters (think serotonin and dopamine)
🧠 Reduces oxidative street in brain cells
🧠 Improves memory
🧠 Minimizes brain fog
🧠 Improves blood flow to the brain
