This is a great reminder from our friends at Coconuts and Kettlebells at what can cause Chronic Hormone Imbalance
1. Underfueling/nutrient deficiencies: You body responds to being underfed by reducing your metabolism, and thyroid and sex hormones. It also leads to chronic cortisol production. Chronic nutrient deficiencies can lead to poor digestion and detoxification.
2. Overexercising: Workouts are stress (see the theme here?) and when you are constantly pushing, especially in an underfed state, it sets you up for chronic cortisol production. This can lead to adrenal dysfunction, high testosterone, and low thyroid function.
3. Inhibiting proper detoxification: It’s your liver’s job to transform and remove excess hormones from your body. When your liver is overburdened with other substances, like alcohol, endocrine disruptors, and heavy metals. it slows down its functioning. This can lead to estrogen dominance.
Our hormones thrive when we’re in a nourished state, have proper blood sugar regulation, get sufficient sun and vitamin D exposure, and incorporate plenty of REST!

Best New Year's Resolutions
Forget pledges to diet and exercise. Committing to help people less fortunate than you can be better for everyone.
|
January 5, 2023
What if I told you that you could reap most of the benefits of those daunting — and too often abandoned — pledges without counting a calorie or joining a gym? And make the world a better place in the process?
'It's Good to Be Good'
You can do this by resolving to help others in lieu of improving yourself. By vowing to volunteer in 2023, you can reap a host of physical and mental health benefits.

What Does Your Gut Tell You About Your Health?
Small but mighty microorganisms are key to gut health and overall well-being

The Relationship of Gut Health to COVID
Those toxins can lower your immune defenses, and it is widely believed that lower immunity states can make you more vulnerable to the COVID virus. In addition, early studies during the pandemic suggested that there are microbiome differences in people who were more resistant to COVID versus those who developed the disease.
Bishara's research during the early days of COVID showed that younger patients, particularly children, were not presenting with extreme illness as many older persons were.
"If you look at the composition of gut bacteria (of children), it's very different from adults. Their digestive system typically has a substantial percentage of one specific bacteria called Bifidobacterium (about 70 to 80%). The levels start to decline as we age," says Bishara.
"However, people who eat a predominantly Mediterranean diet have higher Bifidobacterium levels than other people their age. It's a potent immune regulator and works on the same pathways that COVID seems to affect."
Bishara found during the time of pre-vaccination that giving high doses of zinc, Vitamin D, and probiotics to patients was very helpful. So today, the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance has added probiotics with Bifidobacterium into their protocol for patients presenting to ICU with COVID.
Probiotic-Rich Foods to Include in Your Diet
Plan meals that focus on a majority of plant-based foods with fiber are a great way to boost your probiotic intake, including:
- Broccoli
- Kale
- Kiwi
- Pears
- Mushrooms
- Artichokes
- Garlic
- Asparagus
- Fermented foods with probiotics, such as kimchi, sauerkraut, pickles, miso and kefir
a 15 to 20-minute walk after eating aids gut health and longevity, says Bishara, adding that doing this can also reduce the likelihood of developing diabetes and heart disease.

Product Recommendation from one of our clients for Exercising when you are unable to get on and off the floor
"I can personally vouch for the sturdiness and construction of this table that is slightly wider than a traditional massage table. This has been very helpful to me for compliance. Also, it is lightweight and easy for me to open up and store."

Making a Difference One Bowl at a Time
17th Annual SOUPer Bowl Lunch for the Light House
A bowl of soup in exchange for a donation from the heart. Since 2007, Heritage Baptist Church has used this idea to raise $45,000 cumulatively for the Light House Homeless Prevention Shelter in Annapolis. Using the connection between “soup” and the “super” NFL championship game, the donation-only SOUPer Bowl Lunch for the Light House caught community attention and launched what has become a treasured tradition.
Following 2 years of virtual SOUPer Bowl fundraising due to Covid, 2023 marks a much-anticipated return to the in-person lunch. Sunday, February 12, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Heritage Baptist (1740 Forest Drive, Annapolis) will host the 17th Annual SOUPer Bowl Lunch for the Light House. Representatives from the Light House BEST Culinary Arts job training program will ladle soups prepared by locally renowned Chef Zachary Pope. Menu soups include Chicken Noodle, Baked Potato and Chili. Guests will also enjoy salad, fresh rolls, and dessert.
The public is invited and admission is free, but donations are requested to benefit the Light House. Donations can be made online as well at heritageloves.com/onlinegiving and selecting “SOUPer Bowl” when prompted. One hundred percent of the money donated goes directly to the Light House.
Guests are also invited to attend worship service with Pastor Scott Shelton at 10:30 a.m., prior to the SOUPer Bowl lunch at 11:30 a.m. All are encouraged to wear favorite NFL team jerseys that day, whether your team is in the big game or not.
