🍏✨ Apple Cider Vinegar for Blood Sugar & Health?
Would you have guessed that apple cider vinegar has antioxidant and blood sugar benefits?! A new study reveals that just 20 ml of apple cider vinegar daily for 8 weeks significantly improved fasting blood sugar, boosted insulin sensitivity, and reduced oxidative stress in individuals with type 2 diabetes! Does this information motivate you to add a tart and tangy splash of wellness to your routine?

Wow! I just started having 1 Tbsp of ACV in a glass of water before lunch and another before dinner. It will be interesting to see what my glucose levels are after each meal.
Boost Your Immunity with Simple Daily Habits! 💧🦠
Sharing a simple habit I do for both prevention and treatment of cold/flu. I gargle with Scope and use a saline iodine nasal spritzer! Here’s why: ✨ Gargling with Scope contains cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), an antiseptic that helps reduce bacteria and viruses by disrupting their membranes. This can lower the viral load in your throat, giving your immune system a boost in fighting off infections. Adding this to your daily routine helps keep your mouth and throat clean and healthy! 🌿 Saline Iodine Nasal Spritzer is another secret weapon! The saline clears out mucus and allergens, while iodine’s antiviral and antibacterial properties work to protect your nasal passages. It’s an effective way to reduce pathogens and support your immune defenses. Both methods are quick, simple, and effective ways to support your immune system, whether you’re preventing a cold or recovering from one. Make them part of your daily wellness routine and give your body an extra layer of protection! 💪🌟 Let me know how you like this health support hack! 👌. Add scope to your grocery list 😜

We use Scope and the Saline solution too! I also like the Greenhouse ginger/turmeric shots.
This is one experiment I DO NOT want you to do…
Hey Everyone, I want to share something that’s happening to me right now that serves as a powerful reminder: When we’re sick, our bodies don’t behave the way we’d like. 😷 Last night, I was feeling pretty off—lots of coughing and just not myself (that post Thanksgiving cold that’s going around!). Sure enough, I checked my blood sugar, and there it was...spiked! Illness can throw our blood sugar completely out of whack, even if we’re doing everything “right.” This isn’t just about food; it’s about how our body reacts to stress, inflammation, and fighting off whatever’s making us sick. So, while we’re here experimenting and learning about how our bodies respond to different foods and activities, remember this: getting sick is an experiment I don’t want you to do! 😉 But if it happens, and it will sometimes, here’s how you can manage: What To Do When You’re Sick: 1. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! 💧 Water is your best friend when you're sick. It helps with glucose balance and prevents dehydration. 2. Check your levels a little more. 📊 Your blood sugar might be higher than usual—don’t worry, just stay on top of it! 3. Stick to your meds and balanced meals. 🍽️ Even if you’re not feeling hungry, try small, balanced meals to keep your energy steady. 4. Rest up. 😴 Your body is working hard to heal, so give it the downtime it needs. The journey to better health is never a straight line, and sometimes we hit bumps like this. But remember, those bumps are just part of the path. I might not be feeling 100%, but I’m still here, learning from every moment. You’ve got this! Let’s keep supporting each other—health isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress. Dr. Tara

@Tara Campbell no no! My sister-in-law has a big home and she is hosting. She picked up the turkey and the rest of us are doing sides and desserts!
Start of a New Week
What are your health goals this week - Mindset, Movement and Micronutrient wise. I'll go first: MINDSET: Of Readiness. This thought/intention of "Readiness" came to me, and I thought I would explore what it meant, and apply it to health goals: It encompasses being prepared to respond effectively to challenges, opportunities, and change. And it involves cultivating a proactive, flexible, and resilient approach to life. It creates resilience by being mentally prepared to face setbacks with a growth-oriented perspective. It means seeing challenges as learning experiences and being ready to adapt rather than give up when things don't go as planned. It includes 'Openness to Change', and embracing the idea that change is constant. A mindset of readiness means you're mentally flexible and willing to pivot when new information or circumstances require it. This reduces stress in times of uncertainty and allows for faster recovery. A biggie... it includes Self-Discipline - cultivating habits and routines that reinforce readiness, such as physical wellness, mental clarity, and emotional balance. It involves prioritizing consistency, focus, and accountability to stay sharp. It is 'Confidence and Calm'; remaining calm and confident under pressure, knowing that you're equipped to handle whatever comes your way. This confidence comes from preparation, knowledge, and self-trust. Ultimately, it’s a mindset of staying sharp, grounded, and willing to take action when necessary. Whether it’s in health, personal growth, or business, readiness enables you to step into situations with confidence and strength. I LOVE IT. This will be my guiding Mindset Focus for the week. MOVEMENT: I'm on a mission to prioritize movement; from morning sun salutations (yoga), to resistance training (4 workouts this week), temperature variation from hot/cold showers to sauna and some late September swimming - perhaps a cold dip in the lake (goal for this week). I aim to make these aspects happen! MICRONUTRIENTS: This week I want to focus on fiber, protein and healthy fats, as well as hydration while at work, and an IV drip.

I love your READINESS piece, Dr. Tara! I am going to incorporate it as my MINDSET Goal. There are too many moving parts at work currently and sometimes at home as well - I am going to work on being ready to pivot as needed while being mindful of my stress levels. Will include some breath work and journaling too. MICRONUTRIENTS: I will make sure I add more fibre to all my meals (adding fibre to my breakfast shakes has made a big difference to the maintaining stable sugar balance right through to lunchtime 😊). Will also include more brassica veggies and leafy greens to help with methylation. And good fats - btw I love avocados and olives!! MOVEMENT: I’m going to try finishing off my daily showers with cold water 💦 consistently. And will keep up with the after dinner walks.
