Hello ,
I work with people in all different stages of health and wellness. The health goals differ, health histories differ, genetics and epigentics differ and their why of coming to me is different.
What is NOT different is the importance of supporting a strong foundation.
Starting with foundations of health is the same and non-negotiable for ALL. Now, that does not mean that the foundations of health are not personalized for each person but the basics are the same.
I could do a whole newsletter on each of these but for now check in with each category and do a self assessment of your foundations of health.
How are you doing in each of these categories?
What 1-2 things can you amplify to up level your health and life?
Movement - move EVERYday, start with 30 min of walking daily and layer in strength training. Learn more with a simple 30 day plan for beginners HERE
Nutrition - Eat the rainbow EVERYday, optimize protein intake (0.75g-1g per # of body weight), optimize fiber intake (aim for 35 grams a day, go slow when increasing). Learn more about eating the rainbow HERE. Rainbow Recipes HERE
Sleep - Start your day with natural light first thing in the morning, this sets your circadian rhythm and will improve sleep quality. Quick tips HERE
Sun (Light) - time outside, in nature in the elements, sun has gotten a bad wrap but there are many benefits from daily sun exposure. Learn more HERE
Stress - Play, breathplay, movement, connection and nature ALL support your body to experience and respond to stress from a resourced place. This will mitigate the physiological damage that happens with chronic stress gone unchecked.
Touch - Humans need touch. Intimacy, hugs, kisses, handshakes, bodywork, massage, pets are all fantastic ways to add touch to your day.
Be kind, take care of each other,
~Lynn 🌈

Lower Magnesium Linked to Metabolic Syndrome
|
In a new study, researchers examined the relationship between magnesium status and metabolic syndrome in more than 15,000 US adults.
Participants were given a “magnesium depletion score,” and results showed that each unit increase in this score increased the odds of metabolic syndrome by about 30%.
Magnesium participates in hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body!! Good food sources are nuts, seeds, and green leafy vegetables.
The many ways to get magnesium....

Functional Medicine Insights |
Bloating Can Have Many Causes
|
Bloating is not normal. If it doesn’t resolve with simple strategies, it could be a sign of something else, such as:
▪️ Parasites
▪️ Low stomach acid
▪️ Gut motility issues
▪️ H.pylori overgrowth
▪️ Low digestive enzymes
▪️ Dysbiosis (disrupted gut microbiome)
▪️ Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
▪️ Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIFO)
▪️ Leaky gut (increased permeability)
This is not an exhaustive list! These are only the issues that are specific to the gut, but bloating can also be caused by 🌸hormones, 😩stress, or 🍷alcohol consumption.
The only way to solve a problem is to first find out what the problem actually is. This is something we excel at when looking through the lens of Whole Spectrum health and a functional medicine approach.

Health Tip |
Micro-Habits for Gut Health
|
Whether you’re wanting better digestion, clearer skin, more energy, or a more balanced mood, none of this will happen without a happy gut. So remember these simple everyday micro-habits to support your gut:
|
💧Stay hydrated (your digestive juices depend on it!)
🌈Eat the rainbow (for antioxidants & fiber)
🌿Try ground flax, chia, or hemp seeds (healthy fats to reduce inflammation)
🥬Boost magnesium (particularly if you tend toward constipation)
🏃♀️Keep moving (exercise enhances the diversity of the gut microbiome)
