Hello ,
I hope this finds you settled and nourished.
Take a beat, grab a tall glass of water or warm cup of tea, inhale and exhale slowly, settle and feel the difference a few moments of intentional pause can bring.
Last week at group visit, we tapped into community and creativity with open discussion and making valentines. It was fun to chat, create and connect! Where/how do you express yourself? Creativity comes in all sizes and shapes. Check out this quick read to explore ways of adding creativity to your life and how this can elevate your health!
This week, we invite Laina Eskin with Inner Matrix Systems back for group visit to lead us through a simple, practical system that will support you to get un-stuck, so you can break through to the results you want in any area of life. Come join us to get
a taste of this process with Laina. If you like this and are interested in more, all ISH Members get a complimentary 60 min session with Laina. Note the time change for group visit this week is 12:15-130. Zoom invite sent in your calendar invites and Tuesday morning text.

ISH Jessica Bruno, is leaving ISH. She will be working full time at a local functional medicine practice, simplifying her life and focusing on her precious family. Jessica has been an incredible asset to ISH, supporting members, practice growth and expansion of ISH through her knowledge and expertise of nutrition and lifestyle over the past 2 years. I have benefited tremendously in my collaboration with Jessica!
Please take a moment and share your words of gratitude for Jessica at this LINK.
Jessica will see members through the end of February. I am thrilled to announce that we are currently in the process of onboarding Kimberly Leonard as ISH new functional nutritionist and lifestyle coach.

Kimberly Leonard (Kim) is an accomplished Board certified CNS Certified Nutrition Specialist® with an LDN Licensed Dietitian (Nutritionist) in Maryland. Her journey into the realm of nutrition began with a fervent dedication to helping others.
Graduating with a BA in Psychology and Human Services from Mount Saint Mary College, Kim initially delved into trauma therapy, where she made a meaningful impact in the lives of children and teens.
Her path took a profound turn when faced with her own battles—having overcome cancer three times and navigating her children's health challenges and food allergies. Motivated by personal experiences, Kim embarked on a transformative journey to empower others through nutrition and lifestyle adjustments.
She
made a decision to use her new skills and passion professionally after accumulating certifications as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP), Culinary Nutrition Expert, and Instructor (CNE). She later fortified her knowledge by attaining an MS in Clinical Nutrition from Sonoran University of Health Sciences and completing board certification requirements by the BCNS.
Based in Webster, NY, Kim shares her life with her husband, daughter, and two sons. Beyond her work, she finds joy in family adventures, exploring the outdoors, embraces culinary experimentation, sewing, and continuously enriches her understanding of nutrition through research and learning.
Kim's passion lies in guiding others towards improved health, wellness, and enhanced quality of life through the integration of wholesome eating habits and holistic lifestyle adjustments. Her multifaceted expertise, coupled with her personal journey, serves as an inspiration and testament
to the transformative impact of nutrition on overall well-being.
Welcome Kimberly!

A new study out of Washington University School of Medicine found that more physical activity correlated with larger brain size in healthy adults.
Most of the study participants exercised 4 days per week, but the researchers said that even small amounts of exercise (like walking 4000 steps per day) were beneficial.
We don’t always see the results of our efforts immediately, but taking care of our health will pay off in the long run.

🔍 Did You Know? |
The vagus nerve regulates everything from heart health to metabolic health to immune function, and it is strongly influenced by what is going on in the gut.
That means that anything you do (or eat) to affect gut health will probably also affect vagal tone.
Some nutrients that support better vagal tone are probiotics, omega-3s, B vitamins, and fiber. The Mediterranean Diet is also linked with better vagal tone.
We love to nerd out on how everything in the body is connected. March 5 Group visit is all about the Vagus Nerve, come join us to learn more!

Speaking of vagal toning.....I am excited to announce that ISH is offering GammaCore treatments to support the vagus nerve! Currently FDA approved for Migraine and Cluster headaches. Research is expanding to all areas, benefits for PTSD, Head Trauma, Chronic illness, Chronic Constipation, Anxiety, Depression, sleep disruptions and more! I will be offering this to members as 3 month treatment packages (you take the device home for 3 months of daily treatments).
Curious?
Ask me at your next visit for a demo!
