❄️ Cold all year round?
It’s not always just the weather.

Feeling persistently cold — especially in the hands, feet, or overall body — can sometimes be a sign that the body’s regulatory systems need a closer look. Two areas that may play a role are thyroid function and nervous system regulation.

The thyroid helps control metabolism, circulation, and how your body generates heat. When thyroid activity is lower, some people notice fatigue, dry skin, slowed energy, or feeling chilled more easily.

The vagus nerve, part of the parasympathetic nervous system, also influences temperature regulation by affecting blood flow, stress response, and how the body shifts between “fight or flight” and “rest and restore.” When this system is dysregulated, circulation and warmth can be affected — even when labs look relatively normal.

Of course, being cold doesn’t always mean something is wrong — but persistent symptoms are often worth exploring with a broader lens.

At Antidote Health Co, we look at patterns, physiology, and nervous system health together — because symptoms rarely exist in isolation.

🏃‍♀️ Move your body daily.
How you move is up to you.

Regular movement supports far more than physical fitness. Daily body movement can help reduce anxiety, improve muscle strength, support bone density, enhance blood flow to both the body and brain, and improve sleep quality.

Movement is one of the simplest, most accessible tools we have to support both physical and mental health — especially when it’s approached with flexibility and intention.

At Antidote Health Co, exercise isn’t offered as a generic recommendation or a footnote at the end of a visit. Thoughtful movement guidance is intentionally incorporated into individualized health plans, reflecting its role as a foundational part of long-term health and wellbeing.

And it doesn’t have to look a certain way. Running, lifting, dancing, Pilates, walking, stretching — all movement counts. The goal isn’t intensity or perfection, but consistency and connection to your body.

💧 What’s in your water — and is it actually hydrating you?

Hydration isn’t just about how much water you drink. It’s also about what’s in that water.

Many municipal water systems are heavily treated to ensure safety, but that process often strips water of naturally occurring minerals that help support absorption and cellular hydration. Without adequate minerals, water may move through the body without fully supporting fluid balance.

There are also growing concerns about microplastics in drinking water, which are now being detected in both bottled and tap water, and may contribute to long-term health stressors we’re still learning about.

Mineral balance matters too. Trace minerals — including magnesium, calcium, and copper — play important roles in hydration, energy production, connective tissue health, and enzymatic function. Imbalances, whether from low intake or excess exposure, can affect how well the body uses the water you drink.

At Antidote Health Co, we look beyond the surface of “drink more water” and consider hydration in the context of mineral balance, environmental exposures, and individual physiology.

Magnesium isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Magnesium is involved in many aspects of daily health — from sleep and digestion to muscle and brain function — but not all forms work the same way.

Here’s a simple breakdown:

• Magnesium glycinate: Supports relaxation, sleep quality, and anxiety regulation

• Magnesium citrate: Helps stimulate bowel movements and may be useful for constipation

• Magnesium threonate: Supports memory, learning, and cognitive focus

• Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt): Commonly used for muscle soreness and recovery

Understanding how different forms of magnesium work can help make supplementation more intentional and better aligned with your individual needs. And if questions come up along the way, our team at Antidote Health Co is always here as a resource to help guide those conversations.

We’ve Moved! Antidote Health Co Has a New Home

We’re excited to share that we’ve officially moved into our new clinic space in West Bend!

📍 New Address:
1421 W. Washington St.
West Bend, WI 53095

Our former location on N. 6th Ave is now closed, and all appointments will be held at our new office. The space is brighter, more functional, and designed to better support the care we provide our patients every day.

If you have an upcoming visit, nothing changes on your end—just come to the new address.

A huge thank you to Nick at iceburg DESIGNS for our beautiful door decal—it turned out perfect and helps make the new space feel like home.

We can’t wait to welcome you into our new space!
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

With the addition of Erica Reigle, NP, we’re thrilled to broaden our services—building upon Functional Medicine with Dr. Kelly Darmody and now offering comprehensive Primary Care to better support our community.

Health is personal. Your medical care should feel that way.

At Antidote Health Co, we believe primary care should be thoughtful, unhurried, and grounded in a real relationship with your clinician. That’s why our holistic primary care model focuses on longer visits, true continuity, and an understanding of you—your lifestyle, stressors, goals, and preferences.

This isn’t assembly-line medicine.
It’s healthcare that meets you where you are.

✨ How We Deliver This Level of Care

Direct Primary Care (DPC) allows us to remove the insurance middleman so we can keep our patient volume low and our availability high. You’re cared for by a doctor and a nurse practitioner who actually know your story, respond when you need support, and follow through over time.

It’s primary care with:
✔️ Real access
✔️ Real conversations
✔️ Real partnership
✔️ Support between visits—not just during them

💰 How Pricing Works (Simple + Transparent)

To become a primary care patient at Antidote Health Co, there are two components—both required and designed to work together:

1️⃣ Monthly Membership Fee
This covers all the ongoing, behind-the-scenes support that most clinics don’t have time for, including:
• Direct messaging with your care team
• Reviewing labs, records & imaging
• Referrals & specialist communication
• Medication management
• Visit prep + coordination
• A smaller patient panel so you get better access

This fee keeps you enrolled as an active patient in our practice.

➕

2️⃣ Per-Visit Fee
Charged each time you come in for an in-person or virtual visit.
This covers your dedicated appointment time with your clinician.

In short:
Your membership supports your care between visits.
Your visit fee covers your time in the visit.
Both are necessary to provide the level of access and care we believe you deserve.

If you’d like to learn more or get scheduled, visit antidotehealthco.com, schedule a Free Introductory Call with Erica https://calendly.com/ereigle-antidotehealthco/20min , or message us anytime.
We’re here to help you feel supported, seen, and genuinely cared for.

✨ Embracing Midlife Transitions ✨

Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking at Alba Birth Center about one of my favorite topics: navigating the peri-/menopausal years with clarity, confidence, and support.

We explored the physical, emotional, and hormonal changes that often show up during midlife—and how functional medicine can offer empowering tools to help women feel more balanced, vibrant, and heard in this stage of life.

A heartfelt thank you to the team at Alba Birth Center for creating such a welcoming space and to all who attended for your engagement and thoughtful questions. It’s always a joy to connect with a community that’s curious and ready to take charge of their health.

💛 If you're in this phase of life and wondering how to better support your body and mind, we’d love to connect. You can book a free 20-minute discovery call to learn more about our personalized approach at Antidote Health Co. Schedule with me here: https://calendly.com/kdarmody/introductory-call

A brief phone call to discuss details of my practice and your goals to see if we are a good fit to work together.
