              • Is Your Blood Sugar Keeping You Up?

                Poor metabolic health impacts the entire body. You might experience cognitive fog, digestive issues, skin problems, or weight fluctuations, all stemming from underlying metabolic imbalances. It's like a domino effect, with one problem begetting another in a vicious cycle of declining health.

                A true expert on this matter is Andrea Nicholson. Andrea transitioned from crime scene investigator to functional health investigator after solving her own health challenges with insulin resistance, chronic constipation, and advancing heart disease. Today, she uses those same investigative skills with her clients to identify and solve underlying health challenges associated with insulin resistance and metabolic health.


                If you’re interested in learning more about Andrea and her work, make sure you connect with her on Instagram and LinkedIn and take a look at her YouTube channel.

              • Circadian Rhythm Explained with Dr. Catherine Darley

                85% of us use artificial light at night. This might not sound surprising or strange, but it does create problems for us and our circadian rhythm.


                Our biological clocks, governed by circadian rhythms, are intricately linked to light exposure. When artificial light disrupts this natural cycle, it interferes with the production of melatonin, among other things. As a result, many of us find ourselves tossing and turning, unable to achieve the restorative sleep we need.


                On this episode I was joined by Dr. Catherine Darley who was kind enough to share her insights on circadian rhythm and as well as some practical strategies to reclaim a harmonious sleep-wake cycle. Dr. Catherine Darley is an expert in natural sleep medicine. Having treated patients for over 20 years, she teaches the sleep skills people need to thrive through her online courses.

                If you want to learn more about Dr. Darley and her work, make sure you visit her website and connect with her on Instagram and YouTube. Dr. Darley was also kind enough to leave us with a downloadable guide to help you assess your symptoms and design personalized strategies for optimal rest.

                Autoimmunity, characterized by the body's immune system attacking its tissues, often leads to conditions such as leaky gut and immune system dysfunction. But our body has a remarkable ability to heal and reverse symptoms, and it's never too late or too early to embark on a journey toward improvement and healing.
