We live in a stressful and chaotic world and we of We live in a stressful and chaotic world and we often spend our free time doing more stressful things. But bodies, minds and nervous systems need to rest and reset. People often prioritize everything around them before self-care, as if self-care will just happen if there’s extra time… Let me tell you, there’s never extra time. You need to make it! And you can do this. Carve out time for yourself that will allow you to continue your important work in the world, including nurturing other people. Pretend that you’re going out of town (off the grid in the mountains) and unplug! . Here’s components of a stay-at-home retreat to choose from: . 💦 Choose the nature near you that you’re going to walk in, hike in, lay down in, swim in, ground in, forest bathe in … and just BE. . 🧘Choose a mindfulness class. Search “free mindfulness practice,“ there is a plethora of resources. What I’m doing this weekend is a free “End of Trauma“ workshop by one of my somatics teachers. . 🧘🏽 Choose a restorative movement class. Tai chi, yoga, qi gong, Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement restore your body. I’m choosing the latter because that’s what I teach and love. There are a ton of free classes on YouTube, including mine! . 🥗 Eat nourishing organic whole food meals, drink filtered water, green tea, hot water with lemon. . 😴 Get plenty of rest. . 📗 pick up an inspiring book or audiobook. I chose “Being Mortal.“ – not sure how inspiring it will be but it’s something I’ve wanted to read. . Add anything not on this list that you find rejuvenating to your body, mind, soul, and nervous system! . Here are things to cut out, because they don’t really belong at your retreat: . 🚫 Cell phone 🚫 Email 🚫 Work 🚫 Chores 🚫 Kids (at least ones that are awake) 🚫 Alcohol, sugar, processed foods 🚫 TV or news 🚫 People who aren’t invited to the retreat! . I know for some people it’s easier said than done to take a break from the kids. Please don’t feel guilty asking grandparents, cousins, family friends, or even a sitter to take care of your kids. If you were going on a necessary trip, you would not feel guilty. Make this a necessary trip! #selfcare #retreat #retreatyourself
As I mentioned before, your adrenal hormone output As I mentioned before, your adrenal hormone output can become dysregulated, which can result in a real clinical condition called HPA-D (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis dysfunction). Fortunately, this is a condition that can be measured & healed. 🙌🏽 There’s no magic pill for this though… I wish! 😭 Healing requires lifestyle changes (first & foremost) and consistency to turn things around. 🌀 In functional medicine, we call these “modifiable lifestyle factors.” These include specific ways to adjust your sleep, stress, nutrition, and movement to support healthy adrenal hormone rhythms. It’s CRUCIAL to modify these lifestyle factors in order to heal HPA-D. The good news is that these modifications/hacks are in your control. 🫵🏼 However, the adjustments needed will vary according to what pattern of HPA-D you have! This is why testing is useful to understand your cortisol pattern, so you can apply the specific lifestyle hacks you need. Supplements and herbs can definitely help your healing process too …as long as they match your cortisol pattern as well! 👯‍♀️ 📣 This is not a one-size-fits-all approach! 📣 Since both lifestyle hacks and supplement prescriptions need to be personalized to fit you, I know it can be super overwhelming and confusing to figure out what’s right for you… But I’m here to help! I offer 1:1 appointments where you can get the right testing and action plan to heal your HPA-D. You can even order your own adrenal labs first, so that when you have a new patient appointment, you already have the results in hand to jumpstart your healing journey! 🧪 Check out my blog post “Healing Your Adrenals Through Lifestyle” to get more info and free resources!

So I mentioned that unlike HPA-D, “adrenal fatig So I mentioned that unlike HPA-D, “adrenal fatigue” isn’t a true medical condition. This term is misleading because chronic or acute stress can’t actually exhaust your adrenal glands. 😴 Why? Your adrenal glands are not intelligent on their own! …They simply make hormones when instructed by your brain to do so. The entire stress response involves much more than your adrenals, however. It first starts in your brain and goes like this: In your brain: 🧠 You first perceive fear in the amygdala. 🧠 Then your hypothalamus gland makes CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone). 🧠 Next, your pituitary gland makes ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone). ACTH travels to your adrenals to activate a stress response: 🚨 Norepinephrine and epinephrine (part of the catecholamine neurotransmitters) are released from stores inside your adrenal. 🚨 Cortisol is made on demand in the mitochondria, after about 10 minutes of sustained stress. In your body cells and tissues: 👤 These adrenal hormones bind to receptors on your cells so they can get inside and do their work. 👤 Then they break down (metabolize). If the stress trigger continues, the process begins all over again. Rinse, lather, and repeat! 🧼 Check out my blog for more info on HPA-D, testing, and all my resources for you —link in bio!

The three most common patterns of cortisol dysregu The three most common patterns of cortisol dysregulation are high cortisol, low cortisol, and mixed up cortisol. While it’s great to order an adrenal lab (saliva or urine) to assess your cortisol rhythm, not everyone can or will do this! That’s why I use symptom check lists as well, and when I see people in person I can do physical exams. In my new course called “fix your adrenals“ that’s dropping soon… We go deep in to assessing your individual pattern and then tailoring your treatment plan. . #adrenalfatigue #adrenalhealth #hpa #cortisolcontrol #cortisolrhythm #circadianrhythm #CircadianRhythms #RootCauseMedicine #FunctionalMedicine #FunctionalMedicineTraining #HolisticMedicine #HolisticHealth
