Hello ,
Have you noticed how your energy shifts throughout the day — that morning spark, the mid-afternoon lull, or the evening wind-down? This isn’t random, it’s your circadian rhythm, your body’s 24-hour internal clock that keeps everything — from your hormones to your digestion to your sleep — running in sync.
This is especially important if you are challenged with recurrent infections, chronic fatigue, mold illness, immune dysregulation, mast cell activation, chronic stress or a multitude of any other chronic symptoms.
This is not an add on, this IS the path to sustainable healing! We will be diving into the science of why in upcoming group visits throughout the end of the year. (hint, cellular and mitochondrial health)
When we honor this natural timing, we find more flow and less friction. Our focus sharpens, our mood steadies, and our energy feels more sustainable. When we override it — staying up too late, skipping meals, living under artificial light — we begin to drift out of sync.
Let’s explore what it means to live in rhythm. Begin with these simple questions
🌅 How can you rise with light and rest with darkness?
🍽 How does meal timing affect your metabolism and mood?
🕯 What rituals can you build to support your natural energy cycles?
By making small, mindful shifts — like getting morning sunlight, eating at regular times, and protecting your sleep — you can help your body find its rhythm again. And when your body finds its rhythm, everything else begins to flow.
Ready to bring more rhythm and ease into your days?
Start by noticing how your body naturally flows — your sleep, meals, movement, mood, and energy. Awareness is the first step toward alignment.

In the News

A new study of nearly 16,000 adults found that eating more animal protein was NOT linked to a higher risk of death.
There’s a lot of confusion around protein sources, but in this analysis, people who ate more animal protein actually had a slightly lower risk of dying from cancer.
Instead of stressing about “should I eat meat or not,” focus on quality:
Grass-fed beef
Pasture-raised poultry
Wild-caught fish
Pair those protein sources with plenty of colorful fruits and veggies, and you have a recipe for longevity.

Pro Health Tip
|
Sometimes the best medicine is your own breath. Here are 3 breathing practices to use anytime and anywhere:
4-7-8 Breathing
Box Breathing
5-Finger Breathing
These practices work because they stimulate the vagus nerve, helping your body shift into parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) mode.

Did You Know?

So often we think of stress being all in our minds, but here are sneaky ways stress might be showing up in your breathing:
Sighing frequently
Holding your breath without realizing it
Feeling like you can’t get a deep breath
Fast or shallow breathing (even at rest)
These are subtle signals from your nervous system, but also a reminder and a doorway to calming it.
