Sunshine is important, but you should make sure not to burn.

☀️ Infrared light in the early morning helps to precondition your skin for exposure to stronger rays throughout the day.

🍣 Getting more Omega 3 fatty acids in your diet dials back inflammation.

🗑️ Remove seed oils from your diet. These are very high in Omega 6 fatty acids. We need Omega 6, but not in the quantities our modern diets include. These oils oxidize quickly and push your body toward inflammation.

⛱️ When your skin has reached its limit you have several options: get into the shade, use clothing that provides UV protection and as the last option use a mineral based (zinc oxide) sunblock. Mineral based sunblock stays on the skin and reflects UV rays rather than being absorbed like other chemical based sunscreens.

🕶️ Stop wearing sunglasses every time you step outside. Your eyes are designed to gather information from the natural sunlight they are receiving to relay that to your brain. Sunglasses are blocking some of those UV rays and your brain is not receiving the full picture. You should still wear sunglasses to protect your eyes in certain conditions : on the water where the light is being reflected (same goes for sand and snow), when you are driving - the windshield is already blocking IV rays anyway, riding your bike (bug and dust shield).

If you are not used to being in the sun, you should work your time up gradually, this is called building a solar callous.

Enjoy the rays, but be safe!

Vitamin D is not just 'for the bones'.

Vitamin D receptors are found throughout the body, including:
• immune cells
• muscle tissue
• the brain
• glands such as the pancreas, pituitary and parathyroid
• the intestines
• the kidneys

Low vitamin D levels have been linked to:
☀️ weaker immune function
🦴 poor bone health
💪 muscle weakness
🧠 brain fog and low mood
❤️ higher cardiovascular risk
⚡ fatigue and low energy
🔥 increased inflammation

It is time to stop living like a stressed houseplant. 🌱
Optimizing your Vitamin D is a foundational piece to your metabolic health.

Vitamin D is a biologic marker of sunlight deficiency ☀️. The average American spends 90% of their time indoors. It should come as no surprise that only 5% of the population have optimal Vitamin D levels.

Vitamin D is made when UVB rays from the sun hit your skin. UVB rays are strongest at midday, usually between 10am-2pm.
If you are not getting out in the sunshine until after 4pm - you are missing out on Vitamin D production.
Even if you work by a window or are in your car - standard glass blocks almost all UVB light - which means you cannot make Vitamin D.
If you are able - try to get outside at lunch time. **Build your tolerance up - it is important not to burn!**

Your doctor checked your cholesterol.....your A1c.....and your blood pressure......but they skipped the one number driving it all.

Do you have:
🔥 stubborn belly fat that won't budge
⚡ afternoon energy crashes
🧠 brain fog so thick you could pour it over your morning like syrup

If you found your self nodding along....your metabolism has been trying to send you a message. Stop ignoring it. Start fixing it.

Family member went to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription for ondansetron (a nausea medication). With insurance the cost for 20 tablets was $135. The cash pay price was $18.

She sent me a message to vent.....the cost for 30 tabs at our office......$7.00.

Insurance is a scam.
