Be patient with yourself. Healing takes time! ⁠
⁠
With a Functional Medicine approach to health and wellness, there is no quick fix. We don`t have a magic pill that can undo your symptoms. Rather, we suggest and guide you through lifestyle and diet changes that are going to have a greater impact on your long term health, but likely take time. ⁠
⁠
Think about how long you`ve been experiencing these issues. If you are like most patients, you have been feeling this way for a while. Months or sometimes years! It`s important to remember it may take just as long to start feeling well again. So be patient with yourself, it takes time but you are worth it! ⁠

Health hack: activate your vagus nerve daily.⁠
⁠
The vagus nerve is a bi-directional nerve that connects the brain to the body, and when stimulated can counterbalance the effects of stress by activating the relaxation response!⁠
⁠
This nerve can impact functions in the:⁠
🔗 Digestive system⁠
🔗 Circulatory system⁠
🔗 Respiratory system⁠
🔗 Immune system⁠
🔗 Autonomic nervous system⁠
⁠
Those with strong vagal tone have been found to have more resilience to stress, reduced levels of inflammation, and fewer gut issues. Who doesn’t want more of all that this year ;)⁠
⁠
Want to improve your vagal tone from the comfort of home? Include these exercises into your daily life!⁠
⁠
Comment YES below if you’re going to try out one of these exercises!⁠

Did you know that the skin is your biggest organ?⁠
⁠
We tend to think our skin is just a barrier against harmful things entering our bodies, and that`s true. But our skin serves many other functions like: ⁠
⁠
✨Preventing moisture loss⁠
✨Protecting us from UV rays⁠
✨Regulating our temperature⁠
✨Allowing us to feel sensations⁠
⁠
The pores of our skin leads directly to our circulator system, and molecules of whatever we put on our skin cross into the bloodstream easily and quickly. ⁠
⁠
Now think about this..... the average women uses at least 12 beauty products everyday. THESE 12 PRODUCTS CAN HAVE OVER 160 INGREDIENTS!! ⁠
⁠
Now if that`s not reason enough to re-think the products we use on our skin I`m not sure what is! Read more about the types of chemicals most commonly found in our products and how we recommend cleaning up your beauty products! ⁠

What is the link between hormones and anxiety? 🤔⁠
⁠
Chemical imbalances in the body have been connected to anxiety disorders. This means that when you’re feeling anxious just before your period, you’re not going crazy!⁠
⁠
👉 Hormone imbalances really can increase or reduce feelings of anxiety. 👈⁠
⁠
Let’s take a deeper look into how our hormones can achieve this:⁠
↪️ Progesterone.⁠
Levels of progesterone rise shortly after ovulation. This hormone activates the amygdala, the region of your brain that controls your fight-or-flight instincts. Triggering the amygdala can make you feel extremely anxious and even depressed.⁠
⁠
↪️ Adrenaline and cortisol.⁠
These are our stress hormones. They cause anxiety when they flood the brain in a stressful situation, which could be anything from a work meeting to a life-threatening situation.⁠
⁠
↪️ Testosterone.⁠
In general, testosterone aids in the regulation of the area of the brain that evaluates others` emotions and responds to social dangers. Low levels may make it harder for you to understand what`s going on in social interactions, leading to anxiety.⁠
⁠
↪️ Thyroid hormones.⁠
Thyroid hormones play an important role in anxiety: levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as TSH) are linked to the intensity of panic attacks.⁠
⁠
↪️ Oxytocin.⁠
When going through a stressful time, oxytocin can amplify your memory of the experience, making you more likely to feel anxious the next time you`re in a similar circumstance.⁠
