Remembering & Honoring
Our Fallen Heroes
This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
As a combat veteran, this day holds deep personal meaning for me. It is a powerful reminder not only of the courage of those who served, but also of the immense sacrifices carried by their families and loved ones in protecting the freedoms we are privileged to experience every day.
In honoring their legacy, I encourage all of us to remain mindful of the gift of each day. Taking moments for self-reflection, gratitude journaling, and intentional goal setting can help create meaningful pause within the busyness of life. Every day presents an opportunity to grow, heal, elevate ourselves, and continue forward on our wellness and spiritual journeys.
From all of us at Verve Holistic Health, thank you to those who have served and sacrificed.
We are here to support you, and our office remains open today from 11am–5pm.
With gratitude,
To Health,
Dr. Angelina Mehta, N.D., FAAO
Remembering Through Service
One of the most meaningful ways I've found to honor those who sacrificed is by giving back to causes that lift up the most vulnerable among us. This Memorial Day, our family is participating in the annual BAPS Charities Walkathon, and this year's beneficiary is especially close to my heart: the Special Olympics.
The Special Olympics empowers children and adults with intellectual disabilities to discover their strength, dignity, and joy through sport. It's a beautiful reflection of what freedom truly means — that every person, regardless of ability, deserves the chance to shine.
If you'd like to walk with us or contribute, here's our team page:

Any amount helps. Even a $10 gift in honor of a fallen service member or a loved one is a beautiful way to turn remembrance into action.
This Week's Wellness Spotlight: The Truth About "Cortisol Cocktails"
You may have seen them flooding your social media feed — colorful drinks promising to "balance your cortisol," "heal your adrenals," and "melt belly fat." A typical recipe blends coconut water, orange juice, sea salt, magnesium powder, and cream of tartar.
Here's what I want you to know:
The science behind the marketing is thin. Cortisol is regulated by your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis — not by a beverage. While the ingredients themselves aren't harmful for most people (coconut water offers potassium, sea salt provides sodium, magnesium supports muscle and nerve function), no single drink will "fix" chronic stress or hormonal imbalance.
What actually moves the needle on cortisol regulation:
- Consistent sleep (7–9 hours, same bedtime nightly)
- Daily movement, especially outdoors in morning sunlight
- Whole-food meals with adequate protein and healthy fats
- Breathwork, prayer, or meditation — even 5 minutes daily
- Genuine human connection
If you're drawn to the drink, enjoy it as a tasty electrolyte beverage — not as medicine. And if you suspect a real hormonal issue, please come in. We'll run proper labs and build a real plan.
