This week : Double sessions for football —which means the functional medicine mom in me is thinking about a lot more than practice.

We spend so much time asking young athletes to:
Run faster.
Lift heavier.
Practice longer.
Play harder.

But how much time do we spend making sure their bodies have what they need to actually tolerate that demand?

Injury support should start BEFORE the injury.
That means looking at the foundations:

Protein and adequate fueling. [PRE & POST workout]
Collagen + vitamin C to support connective tissue if necessary.
Hydration and electrolytes.
Amino Acid Support.
Vitamin D, iron, magnesium and other nutrients when needed.
Strength, mobility and an appropriate warm-up.
Sleep.
Recovery.

Prepare the body for the demand.
Support it while it performs.
Help it recover from what you ask it to do.

So if you're still getting the -- "they're kids they'll be fine..." kind of guidance when you ask how to be proactive with your athletes -- maybe you'd like it here better 😉

I know September is coming. So I started preparing for it in August.

I LOVE summer.
I don't love what comes after it.

I know my pattern: September rolls around, summer ends, schedules change, daylight starts disappearing—and I can feel myself slipping into the September slump.

So this year, I'm not waiting for it.

This week I started CrossFit.
Not because CrossFit itself is the magical solution.
Because I know myself.

I need something scheduled. Something challenging. Something that gets me moving, stimulates my brain, and gives me a reason to get to the gym when I'd rather not.

So I'm setting myself up for success before I need it.

No negotiating with myself every day.
No relying on motivation.
No waiting until I'm already running on fumes to decide I should probably do something.

Remove the resistance. Make the good choice easier.

We do this in our health transformations all the time: identify the pattern, figure out what tends to happen before things go sideways, and intervene upstream.

What's YOUR September?

The holidays?
January and February?
Back-to-school?
Tax season?
A crazy quarter at work?

Identify the time of year when you reliably stop feeling like yourself.

Then ask:

What could I put in place NOW that would make that season easier?

A scheduled workout. Morning sunlight. Meals in the freezer. Therapy already booked. A standing date with a friend. Something on the calendar you actually look forward to.

Don't wait for the slump and then ask how to get out of it.

Know your patterns. Remove the resistance.

When we are rationing our energy and capacity from the scarcity place - it main goes toward work, chores, the "have to dos" -- and the scraps get divided up-- the idea of putting more effort towards health seems impossible.
But when you put in that effort & focus on health - not only do you gain control of how you want to divide your capacity...you actually get more to divide.
Time is finite...but our energy, capacity, presence & joy -- we can generate more of. 🌠

This is why I love the medicine I practice.

I consume David Bayer’s work regularly, and this video stopped me.

He’s responding to a conversation between Tucker Carlson and Shawn Ryan about the state of the country—but listen to it through the lens of healthcare.

Because this is exactly why Destination Vitality is different.

Mainstream medicine fixates on what’s wrong.

Find the abnormality.
Name the diagnosis.
Apply the label.
Manage the symptoms.
Put the patient in the appropriate box.

Our insurance system practically demands it—the sicker you are, the easier it is to justify care.

How are we supposed to create health inside a system organized around sickness?

No thank you.

Here, we absolutely address the fatigue, weight gain, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune disease, tick-borne illness, brain fog and other very real physiology.

But I refuse to let those things become someone's identity.

I’m interested in something bigger-
Ask yourself :
Who do I want to be?
Describe the Health of that person.
Recognize your health now-- and we close the gap.

Because something interesting happens when people get their brains and bodies working again.
They don't just report better health.
They tell me about the promotion. The business. The relationship. The parenting win. The thing they finally had the capacity and courage to do.

Coincidence? - No, at this point it's a pattern.
I see it too often to ignore it.
Take 15 minutes and listen to this.

Then ask yourself:
Who do I need to be?
And what does my world look like when I commit to becoming that person?

Health is only one piece of that puzzle.
It just happens to be the piece I can help you with. 🧠

After talking about food allergy & sensitivity testing… here’s another test that’s available here.
This one addresses something I’ve been waiting a long time to see get more attention.
Our mainstream GI colleagues are FINALLY talking more about SIBO—small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
But here’s the part most people don’t know:
Not all SIBO breath tests are looking for the same things.
Many conventional breath tests measure two gases: hydrogen and methane.
The Trio-Smart Breath Test measures three: hydrogen, methane, AND hydrogen sulfide.
Why does that third gas matter?
Because hydrogen sulfide has historically been difficult to detect on standard breath testing. So someone can have the bloating, unpredictable digestion, diarrhea, discomfort—and sometimes that frustrating feeling that something is clearly off—FINALLY get their SIBO test & think that the solution is right around the corner...& it comes back normal - but it may not reveal the whole picture.

When we have better information, we can ask better questions.
That can mean less guessing for you—and more energy and presence for the people who get whatever is left of you at the end of a long day.

The goal isn’t just to collect more data.
It’s to stop guessing. 🧠

Stop Guessing What to Eat

You tried gluten-free.
Then dairy-free.
Then somebody handed you an “anti-inflammatory foods” list from Instagram.
At some point, eating shouldn't require this much detective work.

The Allergy Explorer has become one of our most popular tests for exactly that reason: people are tired of guessing.

It looks at immune responses across 450+ foods, including IgE markers associated with immediate-type allergic sensitization and IgG food reactivity.

The Best Part:
The results belong to YOU.
Not a health guru.
Not the person selling the latest elimination diet.
Not a generic list of foods everyone on the internet has collectively decided are “inflammatory” this month.

Your blood. Your results. Then a real conversation about what those findings do—and don't—mean in the context of your symptoms and history.

A lab result isn't a diagnosis, and more restriction isn't automatically better health.
The goal is to use objective information alongside your clinical story to make fewer guesses and more thoughtful decisions.
And hopefully put some foods back on the table, too.

🧠 Your body deserves something more personalized than somebody else's “perfect” diet.

What if inflammation isn’t just about what you’re adding…
but what your immune system may be reacting to every day?

For many high performers dealing with brain fog, fatigue, joint pain, skin issues, headaches, or digestive symptoms—

the question isn’t always,
“What supplement do I need?”

Sometimes it’s:
What hidden trigger is keeping my immune system activated?

That’s where the Allergy Explorer Test can be such a powerful tool.

Because inflammation is often fueled by signals the body keeps responding to—sometimes from foods or environmental exposures you’d never suspect.

And one mechanism worth understanding:

When the immune system is constantly reacting, low-grade inflammation can quietly steal clarity, energy, resilience, even mood. 🧠

The goal isn’t restriction.
It’s information.

The Allergy Explorer can help uncover hidden immune triggers so we can reduce inflammatory burden at the source—not just manage the downstream symptoms.
And that changes the conversation.

Precise guided TEMPORARY elimination diet in exchange for the symptoms & the risk - obvious yes.

Less guessing.
More precision.
More room for the body to heal.

For you, that may mean calmer digestion, clearer thinking, steadier energy.

And when one person learns how inflammation can be driven by hidden triggers, it changes how families begin thinking about health altogether.
