Hello ,
Health is not only about eating nutritious foods and moving our bodies. It’s also about self-curiosity and mastery on other levels, including our minds.
Beliefs → influence thoughts → influence behaviors → influence results.
The power of thought has profound effects on health outcomes.
We have over 60,000 thoughts a day! The majority of those thoughts are repeated thought patterns, our brains are in auto-pilot. Begin to play with this concept and notice what reality your thoughts are creating. The first step is to notice by being curious as to how your thoughts are creating your reality and in order to do that it is necessary to pause and practice presence.
Try this Be Here Now exercise by Primal Trust (quick reference below) Sprinkle this in through out your day. It is simple, accessible and just might support creating the life you desire.
With EASE and ABUNDANCE,
~ Lynn 🌈 |

A new study raises questions about the “normal” lab range for vitamin B12
B12 is essential for the brain and nervous system, but some people most at risk of low levels include:
✔️ Older adults
✔️ Those with gut issues or low stomach acid
✔️ People on acid blockers or metformin
✔️ Vegans & vegetarians
This study showed that low levels of vitamin B12 (even in the normal range) are linked to slower cognitive processing & brain changes in older adults.
So, what can you do?
Talk to Lynn about checking MMA and homocysteine along with serum B12. This will give a more complete picture.

Pro Health Tip |

If you tend to have an afternoon energy crash, this tip is for you.
Even a little bit of movement can combat that slump by promoting circulation, regulating stress hormones, and boosting feel-good chemicals in the brain.
Some ideas:
✔ Take a 10-minute walk outside
✔ Stretch or do some desk yoga
✔ Try 20 bodyweight squats or jumping jacks
✔ Use a standing desk for part of the afternoon
Just remember: we weren’t meant to sit at desks and computers all day!

Did You Know? |

Many healthcare practitioners don’t ask about stress—because they don’t have any way to “treat” it.
While we also don’t “treat” stress as a disease, we have a deep functional medicine toolkit to help your body become more resilient to stress, to expand your capacity.
If you suspect stress might be affecting your health—but aren’t sure where to start—here are some questions you could ask Lynn at your next visit:
1️⃣ Do I need stress hormone testing?
2️⃣ Could stress be affecting my gut?
3️⃣ What nutrients do I need when I’m stressed?
4️⃣ Could stress be affecting my hormones?
These are things we always consider when working with our patients at ISH. If you’re feeling more stressed than usual and don’t want it to take a toll on your health, we are here to help.
