Are you dreaming of sunshine and warmer months? Sp Are you dreaming of sunshine and warmer months? Spring is a good time to clean out the clutter and make way for summer!

Here are some of the top things that I do seasonally to get ready for spring and summer:
🌻 Make sure I am stocked with non-toxic SPF for face and body. I check the expiration dates and throw away any expired sunscreens. Check out the EWG’s guide to sunscreen which rates the top non-toxic brands and products.
🌻 Check on my supplies of natural allergy support supplements. I love to take nettles, quercetin, and vitamin C when the spring blooms start to help manage itchy eyes and runny nose.
🌻 Think seasonally with produce, opting for fresh berries, more salads, lots of fresh green smoothies, and an overall lighter take on eating. 

How do you modify your wellness routines seasonally? Let me know what you’ll be doing this spring in the comments below.

Do you struggle with an underactive thyroid? 🤔 Do you struggle with an underactive thyroid? 🤔 By making a few habit changes, you can support your thyroid.

Here are a few things that support thyroid hormone production:

🏋️‍♀️ Exercising regularly. It doesn’t need to be anything crazy! Just a few moderate workouts per week that increase your heart rate can make a big difference.
😴 Creating a consistent routine for eating meals, going to sleep, and waking up. Having a regular meal and sleep schedule can reduce stress levels, increase mental sharpness, improve emotional well-being, and increase energy levels.
🧀 Consuming foods high in minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iodine. Nuts, seeds, and seafood all contain these nutrients.
🧘‍♀️ Prioritizing restorative activities that reduce stress - this can be meditation, catching up with friends, or journaling. Restoration looks different for everyone!

The other thing to know is that hormones communicate, so when I work with someone who has hypothyroid, we also address adrenal and sex hormones as well. It’s all interconnected!

Let’s figure out what your hormone picture looks like and address the whole you.
