Think red light therapy is just another wellness trend?
In the winter, it can be a lifeline for your cells.

Dr. Heather Yost explains why this therapy becomes especially powerful when sunlight disappears.

Less light means slower mitochondria — the energy centers inside your cells.
Red light therapy helps recharge them, increasing ATP and restoring cellular energy.

But the benefits don’t stop there.

It helps calm winter-driven inflammation.
It supports thyroid function when cold weather suppresses it.
It boosts serotonin to support mood.
And it speeds recovery when your immune system is under constant pressure.

This isn’t about luxury or spa treatments.
It’s about giving your body the signals it’s missing during winter.

Patients often notice:
• Better sleep
• Less joint pain
• Improved mood
• Fewer sick days

If winter hits you harder than it should, this may be the anchor your body needs.

Before the year ends, take one honest moment to ask yourself this question. What do you no longer want to carry into 2026?

Is it fatigue that steals your mornings?
Digestive issues that control your days?
Hormone symptoms that leave you feeling unlike yourself?
Or pain and inflammation that hold you back from the life you want?

Whatever it is, your body has been signaling for change. And you deserve to step into the new year with clarity, support, and a real plan to feel better.

When you understand what your body needs, everything becomes easier. Your energy improves. Your digestion stabilizes. Your hormones balance. Your mind feels clearer. You feel more like you.

2026 can be the year you take back your health instead of just managing symptoms.
You do not have to do it alone. Your path forward can begin now.

What do you want to overcome in 2026?

Your labs say you’re fine, but your body says otherwise.

Dr. Heather Yost explains why “normal” blood work can still leave you exhausted, foggy, and frustrated.

Standard lab ranges are built from averages of sick populations — not from what the body needs to function at its best.

Here’s what often gets overlooked:
• A TSH of 3.5 may be labeled normal, but optimal thyroid function is typically below 2.0
• Ferritin at 30 passes the test, yet levels closer to 70+ are often needed to support energy and hair health
• Vitamin D at 32 is called adequate, but immune and metabolic function usually require much higher levels

This is why so many people are told “everything looks fine” while still dealing with crushing fatigue, brain fog, and unexplained weight gain.

Your symptoms aren’t imaginary.
They’re information.

When testing is interpreted through a functional medicine lens, patterns start to make sense — and real answers appear.

If you’re ready to stop accepting normal labs while feeling terrible, comment BOOK below and we’ll help you uncover what’s really going on.

Thanks for the 5 star review and for trusting us with your wellness! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I have FINALLY found what my body needs through Yost Wellness Center. I am about halfway into the four month program and I’ve noticed many good changes along the way. My hot flashes have significantly decreased, my energy level has increased and I am slowly dropping the weight. I was a little worried about being able to stay on track with my food choices but I never feel hungry. Making sure I’m getting the protein I need helps me feel satisfied.

Thanks Yost Wellness for improving my life!"

Dr. Heather Yost shares why nonstop winter illnesses usually have a deeper cause.

If you seem to catch everything going around, it’s often not your immune system “failing” — it’s your gut struggling.

Nearly 70% of immune activity is regulated through the gut. When the microbiome is off, seasonal factors hit harder than they should.

Shorter days mean less sunlight and lower vitamin D.
That drop weakens the gut lining, allowing inflammatory compounds to pass through and strain immune defenses.

Layer in holiday stress, higher sugar intake, and less movement, and beneficial gut bacteria decline while harmful ones gain ground.

The result?
Recurring colds, slow recovery, lingering coughs, and constant fatigue.

These patterns are signals, not coincidences.

Rather than guessing, testing your gut microbiome can help identify what’s actually driving those repeat infections.

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic condition where the immune system attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers. When communication between the brain and body becomes disrupted, a wide range of symptoms can appear. Some people notice mild changes at first, while others experience sudden shifts in balance, energy, or mobility.

Common symptoms include:
• Muscle cramping
• Trouble walking or leg heaviness
• Muscle weakness
• Persistent fatigue
• Dizziness
• Poor balance or vertigo
• Blurred or double vision

Many patients are told to simply “manage” their symptoms. But understanding what triggers inflammation, what affects your nervous system, and what causes flare ups can make a meaningful difference in your quality of life.

If you are living with MS or suspect something deeper is going on, you deserve guidance, clarity, and a care team that listens closely. There are natural ways to support your body and improve how you feel day to day.

Dr. Heather Yost explains why feeling low as the days get shorter isn’t always seasonal affective disorder.

Yes, less sunlight can impact mood.
But what often gets missed is what that lack of sunlight does inside the body.

Lower sunlight → lower vitamin D.
Low vitamin D can suppress thyroid function.
That can disrupt progesterone, strain the adrenals, and amplify fatigue and low mood.

This is why many women are told they have “seasonal depression” — when what’s really happening is a hormonal crash.

Here’s a key clue:
If mood changes come with weight gain, hair thinning, cold hands and feet, irregular cycles, or deep fatigue, it’s likely not just seasonal.

The good news?
When underlying hormone imbalances are addressed, seasonal depression often improves — or resolves entirely.

Your symptoms aren’t random.
They’re signals.

"I’ve been going to Yost wellness center for nutrition and gut health counseling, and it’s honestly been a game changer! The approach here is so personalized — the advice and recommendations are tailored specifically to my needs, not just a “one-size-fits-all” plan. I’ve learned so much about how my body works and what it actually needs to feel balanced.

The supplements and overall wellness plan they suggested have made a noticeable difference in my energy and digestion. Everything is explained in such an easy-to-understand, informative way that it really feels like you’re part of the process. I also appreciate how supportive and kind the staff are — you can tell they genuinely care about your health journey.

If you’re looking to improve your gut health or just want a more personalized, holistic approach to wellness, I can’t recommend this place enough!"

Dr. Heather Yost breaks down the mistake most people make this time of year.

Feeling overwhelmed doesn’t always mean you’re stressed.
Sometimes it means your system is depleted.

Stress still has energy behind it.
Burnout doesn’t.

If you wake up exhausted, feel emotionally disconnected, and caffeine barely makes a dent — your body isn’t asking for more motivation.
It’s asking for a different solution.

Burnout follows a different cortisol pattern, which means the strategy has to change too.

That’s why pushing harder, “powering through,” or taking a few days off doesn’t fix it.

Your body isn’t lazy.
It’s running on empty.
