Feeling like your spark has faded while managing hypothyroidism? 💫

You’re not alone. The thyroid, adrenals, and ovaries are deeply connected. When one system struggles, the others often follow. This network is called the O***y Adrenal Thyroid (OAT) axis, and it plays a big role in your energy, mood, and libido.

Here are 9 simple ways to reignite your libido and support thyroid balance:
✨ Nourish your adrenals with Vitamin C, B vitamins, and magnesium.
🌿 Try supportive herbs like Ashwagandha, Holy Basil, Rhodiola, or Eleuthero. A functional practitioner can guide you toward what fits your body best.
😴 Prioritize deep, restful sleep. Your hormones reset and repair overnight.
🚶‍♀️ Choose moderate movement that feels good. Gentle workouts help convert thyroid hormones and stabilize blood sugar.
💓 Practice self-love. Confidence and connection start with how you see yourself.
🍫 Add libido-friendly foods like dark chocolate, pineapple, garlic, spinach, and red meat.
🧘 Manage stress through mindfulness, breathwork, or quiet time outdoors.
🥑 Eat whole, nutrient-rich foods to fuel hormone production naturally.
🌸 Check in with a practitioner to uncover root causes and create a plan that’s unique to you.

When you care for your hormones, your vitality returns, and your confidence follows. 💕

Most people don’t realize how much natural light influences their sleep. 🌙

When you spend most of your day indoors or under artificial light, your brain can lose track of time. During the winter months, this becomes even harder since the days are shorter and darker. ❄️ Less sunlight affects mood, energy, and your ability to sleep well.

Your body relies on natural light cues to set its internal clock, also called the circadian rhythm.
☀️ Morning and daytime light exposure tells your body it’s time to be alert and awake.
💡 Too much bright light at night, especially from screens, can confuse your system and make it harder to fall asleep.

Many people also experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD) when sunlight is scarce.

😥 Common symptoms include:
- Low mood or depression
- Trouble sleeping
- Fatigue
- Weight changes
- Wanting to stay inside or avoid socializing

Try to get at least 30 minutes of natural sunlight each day to help your body stay balanced and your sleep stay consistent. 🌞

💻👀 Feeling the strain from too much screen time?

If you spend long hours working on a computer, your eyes might be paying the price. Dryness, irritation, and blurred vision are all signs that your eyes are under stress.

Here are a few simple ways to protect your vision and keep your eyes happy:

⏰ 1. Practice the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away from your screen and focus on something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
🕶️ 2. Try blue light glasses: They can help reduce eye fatigue and improve sleep quality.
📏 3. Keep your screen about two feet from your eyes: This helps prevent strain and tension.
💡 4. Adjust your brightness: Reducing screen brightness by about 25 percent can make a big difference.
🔤 5. Make text larger: Bigger text encourages natural eye movement and reduces squinting.
💧 6. Don’t forget to blink: It sounds simple, but blinking keeps your eyes lubricated and relaxed.

😳 On average, Americans spend over 7 hours a day looking at screens. That constant exposure adds up over time, making healthy habits more important than ever.

🧠 Feeling Foggy? Your Hormones Might Be to Blame! 🧠

Do you ever find yourself struggling to focus or forgetting what you were about to say? That hazy, slow-to-think feeling we call brain fog can often be traced back to hormone imbalances.

Hormones act like messengers between your brain and body. When they fall out of balance, your brain’s ability to stay sharp and focused can take a hit. Two key players are your thyroid hormones and estrogen. Thyroid hormones help regulate metabolism and energy in every cell, including brain cells. When thyroid levels are too low, neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin can decrease, leading to sluggish thinking, fatigue, and mood changes.

💗 Estrogen isn’t just about reproduction, it also protects the brain and supports memory and learning. When estrogen levels drop, it can affect clarity, focus, and even emotional stability.

If your hormones are off, you might notice:
✨ Fatigue and low motivation
✨ Mood swings or depression
✨ Forgetfulness
✨ Trouble concentrating
✨ Slower recall or confusion

Brain fog doesn’t have to be your “new normal.” With the right testing and support, your body can return to balance and your mind can feel sharp again. 💫

📩 Reach out to our team to learn how we can help restore hormone harmony and clear the fog for good.

💫 Want to feel strong, vibrant, and youthful as you age?💫

The key to lasting energy and balance starts with a healthy endocrine system.

Your endocrine system is made up of glands like the thyroid, adrenals, pancreas, pituitary, pineal, and reproductive organs. Together, they manage your metabolism, hormones, mood, energy, and even immune health. When this system becomes unbalanced, it can leave you feeling tired, stressed, or out of sync.

Here are a few ways to keep your hormones and energy levels in harmony:

🥗 Eat slowly and mindfully. This helps your body digest and absorb nutrients properly, supporting your immune and hormonal health.

🧘‍♀️ Move your body and manage stress. Exercise improves circulation and releases tension, helping to regulate your hormones naturally.

😴 Prioritize rest. Aim for eight hours of sleep each night and take at least one full day each week to truly recharge.

If you’ve tried lifestyle changes but still struggle with symptoms of hormone imbalance, it might be time for deeper support.

One of our favorite things about chili is how every recipe has its own spin. This one is a perfect base to get creative with the ingredients. 🌶️

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil

2 medium onions, diced

2 bell peppers, diced

2 large carrots, peeled and diced

2 celery ribs, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 lbs ground turkey (swap with mushrooms or two cans of kidney beans for a plant-based option)

1 15 oz can tomato sauce

1 15 oz can diced tomatoes

1 6 oz can tomato paste

2 cups broth (beef, chicken, or vegetable)

1 tbsp chili powder

Season to taste with fine sea salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, celery seed, and ground black pepper

Let’s get cooking! 👩‍🍳
Heat the oil in a large dutch oven or pot. Add the onions, peppers, carrots, and celery. Cook until very softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and protein and cook until no pink remains. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until thickened, about 1.5 to 2 hours. Add more water as needed.

Serve topped with avocado slices, diced onions, or your favorite dairy-free shredded cheese. 🤗

🧠 Feeling foggy or forgetful lately? You’re not alone!

Brain fog isn’t just about getting older. It’s often a signal that your body and mind need some extra support. When stress, poor nutrition, or lack of rest pile up, your brain’s communication lines slow down. That’s when focus, memory, and energy start to fade.

🧩 Here are some simple ways to clear the mental clutter and support a sharper mind:

1. Fuel your focus. Eat real, whole foods that nourish your brain. Think colorful veggies, omega-3 fats from fish, and plenty of hydration. Limit sugar and processed foods that cloud your thinking.
2. Move with intention. Exercise increases oxygen to the brain and helps new brain cells grow. Even a short walk can help lift the fog.
3. Prioritize calm. Chronic stress and multitasking drain mental energy. Take a few minutes to breathe deeply, stretch, or sit in silence.
4. Rest to restore. Sleep is when your brain resets and clears toxins. Aim for quality sleep in a cool, dark room and reduce screen time before bed.
5. Stay connected. Social interaction keeps your brain active and engaged. Call a friend, laugh more often, and stay curious.

💡 Brain fog isn’t a permanent condition, it’s a message. Listen to it, make small changes, and you’ll start to feel your clarity return.

If you’ve been struggling with memory or focus and want to uncover the root cause, our office can help.
