Here’s the bottom line, the human body is WAY sm

Here’s the bottom line, the human body is WAY smarter than we tend to give it credit for. Especially when it comes to weight loss. The body will not let you lose weight unless it has enough credible evidence that it is safe to let that weight go! Hint, multi-tasking, racing mind, running from appointment to appointment, skipping meals, and worrying about it all can be sending your body the message that you are in danger!

Don’t forget that it was not too far back in our evolution, that calorie restriction meant that we were trying to survive a famine, and in this scenario, the person who has the most fat gets to survive!

On a more biological level, any of the stressors listed above, activate our sympathetic nervous system response, also called “flight or flight”. In this state, a huge cascade of events take place, leading to elevated blood sugar, increased oxidative stress, slowed metabolism, and slowed sex hormone activation.

Take-aways!
Stress is almost at the root of dis-ease and chronic illness.
Working with a Functional Medicine Practitioner who is savvy to all of these factors and how to address ( and test for them, when appropriate) is key. I help my clients get to the root of their-dis-ease all the time, and take the steps to reverse it!

Let's talk the science of why we suffer with seaso

Let's talk the science of why we suffer with seasonal allergies. Our immune system can react with alarm to the protein in a particular type of pollen and develop antibodies to these “foreign invaders”. Think of antibodies as your body’s “Most Wanted” criminal list. Exposure to them then causes our mast cells to release histamine, triggering swelling of mucus membranes and the flow of mucus. Despite the discomfort, our immune system really does have our best interests at heart ! Mucus can flush unwanted substances out of the body and protects delicate tissue. The problem is that our immune systems can get overwhelmed, especially if you eating sweets and processed foods, un-rested, and stressed. Persistent seasonal allergies can also be a sign of underlying gut imbalances that can be addressed by working with functional medicine coach or practitioner 😉

Check out my earlier post for natural allergy remedies to try as well!

Just finishing up another incredible retreat weeke

Just finishing up another incredible retreat weekend with the School of Applied Functional Medicine. This year's learning was around hormone healthy, peri-menopause, and long COVID. I am landing back in Boston tonight with so much to share, and so filled up and recharged from the past 5 days. This is pretty much my dream retreat.. meditation and yoga every morning before learning sessions. Crazy, fresh delicious meals, and afternoons free for self-care, time outside,-
reflection and connecting with friends with the same mission and passion. Oh ,and lots of chocolate😂

Getting your bloodwork done? Follow these these t

Getting your bloodwork done? Follow these these tips to get the most accurate information out of them!

🩸 Make sure that you have fasted for about 12 hours, and ideally get them done first thing in the morning. Fasting means water only.. no coffee!
🩸 Be well hydrated! I can't stress this enough.
🩸 Try to have yourself a peaceful morning with no rushing or stressing.
🩸 Choose the time when to get labs done to be when life is pretty normal. No wild parties or vacations the weekend before your labs.

And of course, I look at labs through the functional medicine perspective . This means, I am looking to see what those values should look like for you to enjoy optimal health, not just feel "fine". So those reference ranges listed may be within "range" , but may be suboptimal for your ideal health.

Fascinating stuff people!

Had plenty to get done this weekend between work and home, but sometimes we need to slow down in order to speed up.

Escaped to this beautiful spot with friends. Quietude is a gorgeous property with hiking trails right off the back of the house. It is the perfect spot for any type of retreat. Wellness retreats, masterminds, offsite corporate meetings, or just an adventure with friends.

Thank you @ember.escapes for such a wonderful experience.
