It is really amazing what a solid night of sleep can do for you. We should all aim for 7-9 hours of sleep every night for optimal body repair.

Getting 7–9 hours of sleep per night is one of the most powerful things you can do for your health, hormones, weight loss, mental clarity, and overall longevity. Here’s why it matters so much::

🌙 1. Hormone Balance Depends on Sleep

Sleep directly regulates the hormones that control weight, cravings, metabolism, and stress.

When you get 7–9 hours:

Cortisol (stress hormone) stays balanced

Insulin becomes more sensitive → easier fat loss

Leptin (your fullness hormone) increases

Ghrelin (your hunger hormone) decreases

Thyroid hormones regulate properly

→ Your body burns fat efficiently and your cravings calm down.

When you sleep less:

Cravings for sugar and carbs skyrocket

You hold onto belly fat

Blood sugar becomes unstable

Hormonal symptoms worsen (hot flashes, PMS, mood swings)

💪 2. Sleep Is Where Your Body Repairs and Builds Muscle

During deep sleep, your body releases growth hormone, which:

Repairs tissues

Builds lean muscle

Heals joints

Supports healthy aging

If you’re trying to tone up, get stronger, or prevent injuries—sleep is basically your free recovery supplement.

🧠 3. Brain Health, Memory & Mood

Your brain does a “clean-out cycle” while you sleep.

A good night’s sleep:

Improves memory and learning

Boosts mental clarity and focus

Reduces risk of dementia

Stabilizes your mood

Lowers anxiety and irritability

When people feel overwhelmed, emotional, or forgetful… lack of sleep is often the hidden cause.

🛡️ 4. Stronger Immune System

Your immune system regenerates during sleep.
Consistent 7–9 hour nights:

Reduce inflammation

Improve detoxification

Help the liver reset

Lower risk of illness

Speed up recovery when you’re sick

This is why when you’re run-down, sleep feels like the only thing that helps—because it actually is.

⚖️ 5. Weight Loss Becomes SO Much Easier

The science is extremely clear:

Sleeping fewer than 6 hours increases:

Cravings

Belly fat storage

Emotional eating

Stress hormones

Risk of weight loss resistance

Sleeping 7–9 hours increases:

Fat burning

Stable blood sugar

Steady energy

Willpower

Better workout performance

People can literally eat the same diet—but lose more weight simply by getting enough sleep.

❤️ 6. Heart + Metabolic Health

Consistent quality sleep lowers your risk of:

Heart disease

Stroke

High blood pressure

diabetes

Chronic inflammation

***** Just one night of poor sleep increases blood pressure and inflammation markers the next day!!!!!!!!!!!

🔄 7. Detox + Gut Health

During sleep:

The liver detoxes

The gut lining repairs

The nervous system resets to “rest and digest” mode

Poor sleep = poor digestion, bloating, constipation, and more inflammation.

⭐ THE BOTTOM LINE

Getting 7–9 hours of sleep every night is NOT optional for good health.
It is as essential as nutrition and exercise!!!!!!!!

Your -Hormones - Metabolism - Weight - Mood - Strength -Immune system - Longevity ALL depend on it!!!!! ❤️ Kelly

My belief is that we were created with all of these body parts for a reason and when they act up its because a deeper issue is happening and the solution is not (typically) to remove that part. It is signaling the body that there is a problem. Its like your smoke alarm going off because of smoke in the house but you take the smoke alarm off the wall and throw it away 😥 Throwing the smoke alarm away doesn’t solve the problem!

We need to get to the Root cause of why the body is alerting us with a "problem" or alarm. ❤️ Kelly

Did you know every cell in the body requires Vitamin D to function effectively? Daily sunshine is the best way to keep your Vitamin D levels optimized, but during these dreary winter days or for those of us who work indoors, that is hard to do!

At Elevate Natural Wellness we sell Pure Encapsulations professional brand of Vitamin D3 & K2.

Did you know it is important to take vitamin D and K2 together because they work synergistically to support bone health and cardiovascular health by directing calcium to the bones and away from the arteries. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, while vitamin K2 directs that calcium to your bones and teeth, and away from soft tissues like blood vessels where it could cause calcification. This combination can also support immune function, muscle strength, and overall well-being.

Did you know...Vitamin D helps the pituitary gland to regulate your hormones. Which is super important when trying to balance your hormones! Vitamin D also helps the pineal gland so you can sleep better at night and even helps boost your mood! Plus Vitamin D helps with Bone health, muscle and nerve function, immune system support, reduces inflammation, blood sugar regulation, cancer prevention, cell repair and growth, brain health, cardiovascular health, mental health and weight management! I personally think Vitamin D is the most essential vitamin!!!

We all get low on Vitamin D during these dreary winter days. Let Elevate Natural Wellness help keep your body optimized! We offer full comprehensive blood panels to be sure all of your vitamin levels are where they need to be! 🌿 Call today for a consultation appointment. 989-709-1249

Bone broth heals the gut lining by providing collagen and amino acids like glutamine, glycine and proline. These components support the repair and strengthening of the gut’s mucosal lining, which can improve intestinal permeability (leaky gut) and reduce inflammation within the digestive tract. The gelatin in bone broth also aids in digestion and nutrient absorption.

Key components and their roles:

📑Gelatin: Created from the breakdown of collagen during cooking, gelatin helps to attract and hold water in the digestive tract, aiding digestion and nutrient absorption.

📑Amino acids:
➡️Glutamine: This is a key nutrient for intestinal cells, as it helps support their repair and regeneration. It’s known to reduce inflammation in the gut and strengthen the intestinal lining.
➡️Glycine and Proline: These amino acids are essential for building and repairing tissues, including the gut lining.
➡️Arginine and Histidine: These amino acids also have anti-inflammatory properties that may benefit the gut.

📑Collagen: The foundation of connective tissues, collagen provides the structural support needed to repair and strengthen a compromised gut lining.

📑How it works:
➡️Repairs damage: The amino acids in bone broth help the body produce its own collagen to repair tears and damage in the intestinal wall.
➡️Reduces inflammation: The amino acids, especially glutamine, have anti-inflammatory effects that can soothe the digestive system.
➡️Seals the gut: By strengthening the gut lining, bone broth can help prevent what is known as “leaky gut”, where undigested particles pass through the gut wall and cause an immune response and inflammation.
