Hey Everyone! It's #WellnessWednesday, and today, I am in the midst of my 24-hour fast, and encourage you all to try it. A 24-hour fast can have several health benefits, including: *Helps Achieve a Little Weight Loss (after a 24-hour fast, you can lose 1.5–3 lbs., mostly of water weight, but also some fat.) *Improves Your: -Metabolic Flexibility -Insulin Sensitivity -Heart Health -Liver Health -Brain Function -Immune Function -Skin Thickness (which can make skin more resistant to signs of aging!) *Increases Your Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Levels (which can help build muscle mass, reduce fat mass, and improve bone mass!!) *Reduces Risk of Disease: Fasting can help reduce the risk of developing conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and reduces cancer stem cells. When fasting, you will drink LOTS of water, green tea (I love my Blueberry Slim Life Green Tea), and stay busy, determoned, and strong! 💪Plan the Fasting window that works best with your schedule and get it done! once a month is an ideal place to start.

Weight discrimination has no place in an informed and compassionate society. However, we cannot turn a blind eye to the serious implications of obesity on our health either. Normalizing this condition means ignoring its direct link to metabolic disorders, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's, and some types of cancer. This is not an issue of appearance, but of well-being and longevity. 👉 What do you think about this balance between empathy and health awareness? #MetabolicHealth #ObesityAwareness #PreventiveMedicine #HealthyLiving

🦋 It’s Thyroid Awareness Month! Did you know thyroid problems are more common in people with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD)? This connection can complicate diagnosis and symptom management—but understanding the link is the first step to better health. 🦋 The Thyroid’s Role The thyroid regulates crucial processes like metabolism, energy production, heart rate, and even mood. When this tiny gland is out of balance, it affects almost every system in your body. 💡Why the Overlap? ✔️ Immune Dysregulation: Shared genetics and chronic inflammation increase the risk of autoimmune thyroid issues like Hashimoto’s or Graves’. ✔️ Gut Challenges: Nutrient malabsorption (e.g., iodine, selenium, vitamin D) directly impacts thyroid function. ✔️ Stress: Dysautonomia (ANS dysfunction) disrupts hormone production and conversion, further straining the thyroid. 🔍 Getting Diagnosed For those with EDS/HSD, standard thyroid tests may not tell the full story. Comprehensive panels and autoimmune markers, paired with symptom-based assessments, are key to accurate diagnosis. 🌱 How to Manage It 1️⃣ Medical Treatments: Medications like levothyroxine (for hypothyroidism) or anti-thyroid drugs (for Graves’) are crucial. 2️⃣ Nutrition: Correct deficiencies with selenium, zinc, iron, iodine, or vitamin D—but always consult a healthcare provider. 3️⃣ Holistic Strategies: Gentle movement, stress reduction, and routine monitoring can help rebalance your system.
