Have you noticed your body feeling...a little angrier this time of year?

Maybe you're flushing more easily. Maybe the hives are back. Your heart races when you're outside. Foods you've tolerated all year suddenly seem to bother you. Or maybe you're simply more exhausted than you were a few weeks ago.

Recurring Hives. Racing Heart. Dizziness. Shortness of Breath.

It's POTS & MCAS time!

One of the most common things I hear is:

"My thyroid labs are normal, but I still feel exhausted."

Or...

"I've been on thyroid medication for years, but I still don't feel like myself."

So let's talk thyroid function...

A low ferritin result often sends your traditional or even functional prodider sending you an iron recommend.  OR, many people put "ferritin: iron storage" together with "take iron" and head straight to the supplement aisle.

Take iron.

More iron.
Higher dose.
Different form.

…Maybe experience some constipation.
Repeat labs.

Sometimes that's exactly what's needed.

But not always. And not often in our chronic clients!

Bless you.  What's that?  You didn't sneeze?  Well, let's pretend you did.  While your lungs and nose were involved, it was your immune system telling the nervous system to make a sneeze happen: air intake, lungs contract with force, throat open, yada..yada…. The immune system sensed a possible invader or cell/pathogen/mucous that needed expelled from the body and ordered up a sneeze that the nervous system made happen.  

You've been trying to figure out your kiddo's health thing or maybe even your own… Is it my mold or is it the food sensitivities, maybe its the MTHFR genes, or maybe it's just perimenopause or her puberty setting in….  SURPRISE: it's everything! (But mostly your immune system).  

If mealtimes feel like a daily struggle, you’re not alone - many parents face the challenge of picky eating, and while it can be frustrating and even worrying, there are real, understandable reasons behind why children become selective with food.

Allergy season is upon us, and many people begin noticing symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes, nasal congestion, itching, and fatigue. As trees begin to pollinate in early spring, these symptoms can flare quickly—especially for those who are sensitive to environmental allergens. Supporting the body early in the season can often help reduce the intensity of symptoms and make the season much more manageable.
