Hello ,
As summer approaches, life tends to pick up speed. But that doesn’t mean your health and happiness should take a backseat. Finding the sweet spot of consistency, not too much, not too little but just right! Prioritizing JOY, laughter, grounding and sunshine!
This month, we’re focusing on natural ways to support mood and mental well-being.
In today’s newsletter: dopamine habits, cold plunges, and the simplest feel-good fix of all—sunshine ☀️
Speaking of sunshine and it's powerful healing, this correlates well with 2 courses I am currently taking all on mitochondrial health, bio physics, bio energetics and the 7 stage healing approach by Dr Bruce Hoffman. Both courses are truly rocking my world and will have a lasting and transformative shift in how I support people. Check out the courses below:
Introducing the 7 Stages to Health & Transformation.
The Cellular Cure, Mitochondrial Restoration
If you are curious for more from Dr Hoffman check out this webinar where he shares his paradigm shift for next level healing.
Enjoy this month’s news and tips!
Be kind, take care of each other,
~Lynn 🌈 |

The Art of Healing: Tapestry of Science, Spirit & Community with Lynn Joselyn |
|
✨After more than two decades in conventional medicine, I made the hardest—and most healing—decision of my life: I walked away.
This podcast episode shares the journey that followed… from burnout to rest, from disconnection to community, and from symptom management to whole-person healing. |

I had an incredible conversation with Brenda Armstrong, CEO of ITEOM and host of the #RedefineHER podcast.
Brenda is doing FANTASTIC work in this space, check out her podcast, follow along and enjoy her variety of women guests doing game changing work!
In this episode, we talk about what it means to truly trust yourself, to listen to your body—because that pain, that fatigue, that inner nudge… it’s speaking to you. And if you don’t listen, it will only get louder. I’ve lived that truth, and I know I’m not alone.
We talk about:
➡️ The cracks in the system
➡️ Why rest can be a strategy (not a setback)
➡️ What it really takes to build a soul-aligned practice
➡️ And how community isn’t just a support system—it’s a healing modality
This conversation is deeply personal, and I hope it reminds others that healing isn’t linear, and it doesn’t have to be lonely.
📌 Give it a listen if you’ve ever felt the pressure to “do more,” if you’re curious about functional medicine, or if you’re in the process of redefining your own path to wellness.

Cold Plunges Improve Cellular Health |
|
Curious about cold plunges?
A new study found that cold immersion improved the body’s cellular clean-up system (technically called “autophagy”) and decreased signs of cellular damage.
The study was small, involving 10 healthy men who did cold immersion for one hour per day.
But the body adapted within just one week, showing better stress resilience.
This means that cold plunges or showers could potentially translate to disease prevention or even healthier aging.
Cold exposure is not safe for everyone, so please check with a provider first.

Dopamine Hits Can Be Depleting or Replenishing |
|
We’re wired to crave dopamine.
It’s the brain chemical behind motivation, focus, and that “yes I did it!” feeling of accomplishment.
But in today’s world, we’re surrounded by quick dopamine hits:
🌀 Social media
🌀 Sugar
🌀 Alcohol
🌀 Cigarettes
🌀 Video games
🌀 Every ding & notification
It’s totally normal to enjoy these things, but when we rely on them too much, our brains can get desensitized to dopamine’s natural rhythm.
There are more sustainable ways to boost dopamine, like:
✨ Listening to music
✨ Dancing
✨ Playing a (real) game
✨ Creative activities
✨ Learning a new skill
✨ Completing a challenge
Your brain loves rewards, so let’s give rewards that support instead of drain your health.

Health Tip |

Sunshine = Happiness |
|
Boost motivation, mood, and happiness for exactly zero dollars by getting outside ☀️
Fresh air and sunlight set your body clock, produce vitamin D, and calm your nervous system.
This works even if all you do is step outside for 10–15 minutes of morning light or open your windows to let in fresh air & sun while you work.
Want to dial this in even more?
Align your circadian biology by tapping into the healing powers of sunshine☀️. Check out MyCircadian App to learn the rhythms of light and dark in your location.
I have been bathing in sunrise and sunset for the past week and notice a palpable difference!
