I just published a new article on Medium diving into one of the biggest questions I hear inside this community: 👉 Are thyroid issues actually becoming more common, or are we finally getting better at recognizing the signs? In this piece, I explore how stress, gut imbalance, nutrient depletion, and toxic load can all act as fuel to an already overworked immune system, and why true healing begins with restoring communication between the gut, brain, and thyroid. 💬 I’d love to hear your thoughts inside the comments: - Have you noticed more people around you struggling with Hashimoto’s or thyroid issues? - What do you think is driving the rise, lifestyle, environment, or better awareness? ✨ Read the full article here https://medium.com/@kristy_1866/is-hashimotos-really-becoming-more-common-or-are-we-finally-paying-attention-33edf4ff12da

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how many of us live in constant “go mode.” Our nervous systems are on overdrive, our guts are crying for balance, and our immune system quietly bears the brunt of it all. In my latest article, I explored how reconnecting the gut–brain–immune axis can help us move out of survival and into true healing, the kind that lasts. What I’ve seen over and over (in myself and clients) is this: When the gut stabilizes, the brain feels safe. When the brain feels safe, the immune system stops fighting you.👉 That’s when real energy, clarity, and calm return. ✨ I’d love to hear from you! Have you ever noticed how your digestion or mood shifts during times of stress or burnout? What helped you find your way back to balance? Let’s open up this conversation. Your experience could be the insight someone else needs today. https://medium.com/@kristy_1866/how-balancing-the-gut-brain-immune-axis-helps-women-move-from-survival-mode-to-sustainable-healing-647ce688c49f

If your digestion feels off, your energy dips with the seasons, or you just crave something warm and grounding, your body is speaking your language, it’s asking for gut love. That’s where squash soup comes in! This isn’t just comfort food, it’s functional food. Here's why your gut and hormones love it: 🔸 Soothes the gut lining – The combination of roasted squash + bone broth delivers glutamine, collagen, and anti-inflammatory compounds that calm irritation in the digestive tract. 🔸 Feeds beneficial bacteria – Squash contains gentle, prebiotic fibers that nourish your microbiome and support better digestion and mood balance. 🔸 Balances blood sugar – Unlike starchy soups or breads, roasted squash gives slow, steady energy that keeps cortisol and cravings in check. 🔸 Supports the gut-brain axis – The warmth, color, and texture of this soup activate the parasympathetic nervous system — your rest and digest state — helping you feel calm and nourished. 💫 Functional Tip:Blend in turmeric and ginger to boost anti-inflammatory power and support detox pathways. Let me know what you think! ENJOY!!!!!

When your body never feels safe, your immune system never rests. Autoimmunity doesn’t start in your joints, thyroid, or skin,
it starts in your nervous system’s perception of threat. When you live in a chronic state of fight, flight, or freeze, your body’s chemistry changes: • Cortisol and adrenaline stay elevated. • Digestion slows down. • Gut permeability increases. • The immune system becomes overactivated. Your body begins to misinterpret you as the danger. ✨ Regulation, not restriction, is what brings your system back to balance. Here’s how we start rewiring safety in the body: 1 Breathe deeply before meals → signals “rest and digest.” 2 Ground daily (barefoot, sunlight, nature) → lowers inflammation. 3 Create a rhythm → predictable routines calm the vagus nerve. 4 Practice co-regulation → connection and laughter heal the immune system faster than isolation. Your nervous system sets the tone for your immune system.
When you create safety, your body can finally stop fighting and start healing. #AutoimmuneHealing #NervousSystemRegulation #VagusNerve #GutBrainConnection #InflammationRelief #RootCauseHealing #FunctionalMedicine #SynergyReset #HolisticHealth #HealingJourney
