That single breath activates your parasympathetic nervous system the part of your body that slows you down, helps you heal, and brings you back into balance. When we get angry or stressed, we often hold our breath without realizing it. Breathing intentionally helps support your immune system, digestion, and mental health—especially during the chaos of the holidays.
Sometimes the strongest move isn’t being right. It’s walking away.
Caffeine, alcohol, and dehydration are some of the biggest hidden triggers behind headaches. Alcohol especially pulls water out of your system fast, which is why I always tell people to hydrate and back it up with extra Super Greens, Essential Source, and a second dose of methylated B Complex any time they choose to drink. It won’t make alcohol healthy, but it helps your body deal with the stress.
When you understand how the body works, it’s a lot easier to take control of your own health. The nerves in your low back don’t just affect your legs and hips. They also control your colon, bladder, and reproductive organs. That’s why things like menstrual cramps, digestive issues, urinary problems, and even sexual concerns often trace back to the same place. Once you know what to look for, you can start fixing the cause instead of chasing symptoms.
Simple steps, consistent habits, and the right support make a huge difference in how you feel every day.

Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is simply say no.
The holidays are busy, loud, and demanding. Saying no to an event isn’t saying no to people it’s saying yes to your well-being. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. Rest is not rude, and silence is not weakness.
Just like a car needs a tune-up, your mind and body need breaks too. A few quiet minutes in the morning can make a powerful difference. Why be sick when you could be well?
Sometimes the headaches and fatigue people deal with every day come down to the simplest things they overlook. When you’re loading up on sodas, aspartame, dehydrating drinks, and ultra-sweet colas, you’re setting yourself up for headaches, cravings, and inflammation without realizing what’s happening. Your brain hates being dehydrated, and most of these drinks pull water out of your system instead of supporting it.
I drink plenty of water and a few cups of herbal tea every day, plus lots of watery fruits and vegetables. That all counts toward real hydration, and plants do a great job filtering water naturally so your body can use it. It’s amazing how much lighter and clearer you feel when you stop relying on sugary or artificially sweetened drinks.
And if you still love soda, there are cleaner options. Some brands use stevia or xylitol instead of artificial sweeteners, and they skip the caramel coloring that’s been linked to health issues. They even come out clear, which surprises most people. One of my coworkers switched to a stevia-sweetened cola and can’t go back because regular soda tastes overwhelmingly sweet now.
Small shifts like this protect your brain, calm inflammation, and support your energy day to day.

💧 Your Body Isn’t Just Hungry — It’s Dehydrated and Inflamed.
When you load up on the seven heavy hitters — alcohol, meat, sugar, dairy, coffee, soda, artificial sweeteners, plus breads, cookies, cakes, doughnuts, pastas, and ultra-processed foods — your body gets drained fast. These foods pull nutrients out of your system, stress your digestion, and leave you walking around dehydrated without even realizing it.
That’s when the symptoms start piling up. Headaches, constipation, muscle aches, lousy sleep, low energy, low sexual function — it all connects back to the same thing. Your cells are thirsty and inflamed.
The fix is simple: fluids your body can actually use. Water is the best choice. Herbal teas count too, as long as you make them the right way. I rotate teas all the time — anise, ginger, turmeric, fenugreek, slippery elm — and they’re great for digestion, hormones, and soothing irritated tissues.
One important note: use loose-leaf organic tea, not tea bags. Most tea bags contain microplastics that can trigger inflammation, weaken your immune system, and overload your body with something it can’t break down. A stainless steel tea ball costs a few bucks and makes a huge difference in purity and taste.
Your body works better when it’s hydrated, nourished, and not constantly fighting irritation. Small changes go a long way.
🎥 Watch now and learn exactly how hydration and inflammation tie back to your energy, immunity, hormones, and long-term health.
