Lymphatics: What Are They & How Can You Support Them

The lymphatic system is an important part of the body’s immune and circulatory systems. You may have heard of having a “swollen lymph node” before without fully understanding what that means. Lymph nodes are small glands located throughout the body that help filter lymphatic fluid and play an important role in the immune system. When your body is responding to an infection or inflammation, nearby lymph nodes may become swollen or tender as immune cells become more active in that area. For example, when you have a sore throat, you may notice swollen or tender lymph nodes in your neck. These lymph nodes are part of the body’s immune response, helping immune cells recognize and respond to pathogens in the surrounding tissues.

Lymphatic fluid, or lymph, is another important part of this system.

As the air begins to cool, the leaves begin to change, and the days slowly grow shorter, we find ourselves welcoming the gentle transition into autumn. This season invites us to notice the rhythms of nature and, perhaps, to reflect on our own rhythms as well.

Maybe your family visits the Fruit Loop in Hood River, spends a crisp afternoon at a pumpkin patch, or gathers around the table for a warm meal. Perhaps it’s something as simple as sipping tea on the porch on a cool autumn morning. Whatever traditions help you welcome the season, we invite you to pause and cherish these moments; the familiar rituals, the changing landscape, and the gift of moving into another season of life.

Change can be both beautiful and challenging. As we move away from the longer, more energetic days of summer, it’s natural to feel a sense of longing or even a little sadness. Rather than rushing through that transition, we invite you to honor it. Autumn offers its own kind of abundance: the coziness of home, the warmth of gathering with loved ones, the beauty of slowing down, and the opportunity to turn inward and nourish ourselves.

As we welcome the changing season, may we give ourselves permission to slow down, listen inward, and embrace the natural rhythm of change.

Understanding Oxidative Stress & IV Therapy

Every day, our bodies are exposed to stressors such as inflammation, environmental toxins, illness, physical exertion, and metabolic demands that can increase oxidative stress. When oxidative stress exceeds the body's antioxidant defenses, it can contribute to cellular stress and affect energy, recovery, immune function, and overall well-being.

Wellness IV therapy provides hydration and targeted nutrients to support antioxidant defenses, cellular function, energy, immune health, and recovery. It may be especially beneficial for individuals experiencing fatigue, increased stress, dehydration, demanding physical activity, travel or jet lag, periods of increased immune demand, or those looking for additional nutritional and healthy-aging support.

A comprehensive evaluation helps us understand your health history, symptoms, nutritional needs, and overall health to determine whether IV therapy is appropriate for you and which nutrients may provide the most support.

Ingredients
US Customary – Metric
1 Tbsp olive, coconut, or avocado oil (if avoiding oil, sub water)
1 medium-large white or yellow onion, finely diced (1 onion yields ~2 cups or 300 g)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ – 2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger (adjust depending on how much you love ginger)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2-3/4 tsp ground cayenne (start with the lesser amount)
1/4 tsp ground allspice (optional but recommended)
1 (15-oz.) can crushed or diced tomatoes
1 (15-oz.) can pumpkin purée (or sub ~1 ½ cups homemade in place of 1 can)
1 (14-oz.) can light or full-fat coconut milk (full-fat for a richer soup // or sub cashew cream)
1 cup water (or sub vegetable broth)
1 tsp sea salt (plus more to taste // start with 3/4 tsp if using vegetable broth)
3/4 tsp ground black pepper

FOR SERVING optional
Freshly chopped cilantro
Chopped roasted cashews (or toasted raw cashews*)
Vegan naan (or gluten-free naan)

Instructions
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened — about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and allspice (optional), and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, pumpkin, coconut milk, broth (or water), salt, and pepper and stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for ~20 minutes to develop the flavors. Taste and adjust as needed, adding more salt for overall flavor, allspice for warmth, or cayenne for heat (we added the full amount, but how much you add will depend on personal preference and the spiciness of your cayenne). Keep in mind the flavor will intensify the longer you cook it and after storing overnight.
At this point, you can either enjoy it a little chunky, purée with an immersion blender for a mostly smooth texture, or transfer to a heat-safe blender and blend until fully smooth and creamy. All three options are delicious, but if using diced tomatoes (rather than crushed), we recommend blending for a more cohesive/balanced tomato flavor!
Divide between serving bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and toasted cashews (both optional). It’s delicious served with naan or grilled cheese sandwiches.
Leftover soup keeps well stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 1 month (or longer).

Back to School Wellness:

For many of us in the Pacific Northwest, we're in the Back-to-school season. This doesn’t have to mean back-to-stress! As routines shift, focus on a few simple foundations that can make a big difference: consistent sleep, nourishing meals, hydration, movement, and time to unwind.

Prepare ahead when you can—pack lunches, plan easy snacks, establish bedtime routines, and give your kids time to adjust. Supporting these basics can help promote energy, focus, mood, and immune resilience throughout the school year.

Remember, consistency—not perfection—is the goal. Small habits add up and can help your family transition into fall feeling healthier, calmer, and more prepared.

Rainy Day Potato Soup
By Maggie

Ingredients
3 TBSP Grass-fed Butter
1 Medium Yellow Onion
6 Medium Yukon Gold Potatoes
1 Carton Chicken Broth or Broth of Choice
Fresh Thyme
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Smoked Paprika
Salt
Black Pepper
Optional
White W**e
Cooked Bacon
Green Onion or Chives
Sour cream

Instructions
Begin by dicing one medium yellow onion.
In a large pot, melt 3 TBSP of butter, then add the onion and sauté on low-medium heat until translucent (about 5-8 minutes). While this is cooking, chop your potatoes into roughly ½” cubes (don’t sweat the perfection).
When the onions are beginning to brown and the butter is lightening in colour, add your potatoes and stir to coat in butter. Add 2-3 stems of fresh thyme, 2 tsp. Smoked paprika, 1 TBSP. Garlic powder, 1 TBSP Onion powder, salt, and fresh cracked black pepper to taste. Optionally, you can add a splash of white w**e at this step (I like to use sulfite free) and simmer for 2 minutes.
Cover potatoes with chicken broth (or broth of your choice) and bring to a boil on high heat. Cover potatoes and turn heat to low, cooking approx. 20 minutes or until soft.
When the potatoes have softened, remove the stems of thyme, add ½ cup half and half or heavy cream (or nondairy alternative) and blend about ¾ of the soup, leaving some potato chunks for texture if that’s your jam. I like to use an immersion blender but you can use a stand blender as well.
At this point you can add 1 cup of your favourite shredded cheese (I use a blend of Monterey Jack and grass-fed cheddar), stir to melt, and adjust the seasonings to your taste. You can top this soup with chives or green onions, chopped bacon, and even a little sour cream.

As summer winds down and fall begins to settle in, we naturally find ourselves moving back toward routines and rhythms. The slower mornings, longer days, travel, late nights, and spontaneous summer plans begin to shift, creating an opportunity to reconnect with the habits that help us feel our best.

The transition into fall is a wonderful time to replenish what may have been depleted over the summer, support hydration and nutritional balance, and prepare your body for the months ahead. Whether that means focusing on sleep and nutrition, supporting your immune system, getting back into regular movement, or exploring IV therapy for additional nutritional support, small steps now can help you enter the new season feeling grounded, energized, and resilient.

Fall doesn't have to mean an overhaul or a list of restrictions. Think of it as a reset without restriction—a chance to listen to what your body needs and re-establish the routines that support your energy, recovery, and overall well-being.

Here's to embracing the change of season, returning to our rhythms, and finding our Back to Balance as we move from summer into fall!

Late Summer offers a natural opportunity to return to simple, grounding habits. Supporting metabolic health does not require perfection or an extreme diet. Small choices, practiced consistently, can make a meaningful difference.
Balanced meals that include protein, fiber, healthy fats, and colorful vegetables may support steadier energy and greater satisfaction than eating carbohydrates by themselves.
Eating at regular intervals may also help. Skipping meals can leave some people feeling shaky, irritable, fatigued, or more likely to crave sugar later in the day. Regular meals can help the body feel adequately nourished and supported.
Late Summer is also a wonderful time to enjoy seasonal foods such as zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, blackberries, peaches, plums, melons, and summer squash.
Chinese dietary therapy often emphasizes warm, simply prepared foods when digestion feels weak. Even during warmer weather, some people feel better incorporating cooked vegetables, soups, rice, oats, squash, or other easy-to-digest meals rather than relying entirely on cold or raw foods.
A gentle 10 to 15 minute walk after eating can support digestion and healthy glucose
metabolism. Movement does not need to be strenuous to be beneficial.
Sleep and stress management also play an important role. Sleep deprivation and chronic stress can influence hunger, cravings, energy, and insulin sensitivity. Rest is not separate from metabolic health. It is part of the treatment.
