Shorter days and darker mornings can throw off our internal clocks, affecting energy, mood, and apparently even our shoe choices!

Our wonderful Medical Assistant, Dylan, showed up bright and early, ready to care for patients, but apparently his shoes didn't get the memo!

A Remedy? Start your day with a brisk walk outdoors! Morning sunlight and movement can help regulate your body's natural sleep-wake rhythm, boost energy, and support your mood.

We're here for you at Remedy, but we can't promise our shoes will match!

Relatable?

Join us for our first monthly meditation and potluck supporting our non-profit, Be Well Circle, tomorrow night!

Our monthly meditation night supporting Be Well Circle, starts tomorrow. Join us!

The Dream Circle meets the third Friday of every month at Remedy Wellness on Johns Island, 5:30 to 8:00 pm. We'll meditate, stop to eat together, then do a second round. Stay for all of it or just part.

It's a potluck, so bring a snack to share or a donation of any amount to Be Well Circle. The donations help us pay for care for people in Charleston who can't afford it.

RSVP at bewellcircle.org/potluck. We'd love to see you there.

The Antioxidants Already in Your Cabinet

The most potent antioxidants in the world are already in your kitchen.

ORAC value measures how potent and absorbable an antioxidant is. At the top of that list: cloves, turmeric, cinnamon, garlic and cayenne. Not a bottle. A spice drawer.

These are the tried and true healers people have used for centuries, and we still cannot match them in a lab. Nature does it best.

Dr. Sherri's warming turmeric tea, straight from the archive:

1 cup unsweetened almond, coconut or raw milk
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
Dash of cayenne
Dash of cinnamon
Coconut sugar or stevia to taste

Turmeric is fat soluble, so it needs the fat in the milk to work. Add a chamomile bag at night if you are wound up.

How often are you actually using these? Soups, eggs, coffee, roasted vegetables. Do not waste a meal.

Fall Mood and Root Vegetables

Fall is when the phone starts ringing about sleep and mood.

Shorter days, less sun, less movement, and a calendar that fills up fast. The answer starts in the kitchen.

Look at what is in season right now. Parsnips, beets, sweet potatoes. Those nutrient rich starches help your body make serotonin, your calming neurotransmitter. Burdock root is so strong that nothing grows within seven feet of it. Strong, grounding food for the season you come back indoors.

Pumpkin seeds are the other one we push this time of year. Protein, healthy fats, tryptophan (the amino acid your body turns into serotonin), and a lot of zinc. Zinc matters for brain health and for the immune system you are about to lean on hard.

If fall is usually the hard season for you, start now. Prevention works better than rescue.

Your Body Leaves Clues

Check your fingernails before sick season starts.

White spots on your nails point to low zinc. That can come from low intake, from trouble absorbing, from a genetic issue like pyroluria, or from a grain heavy diet, since phytates in grains block mineral absorption. Zinc is one of the nutrients your immune system depends on most.

A few more watches from across the exam table:

Cracking skin behind the ear, also low zinc
Cracks at the corners of the mouth, B2 deficiency
A stuffy nose that never quite clears, since nasal tissue is the same tissue that lines your digestive tract, and an inflamed nose often means an inflamed gut
Small red veins on the nose and cheeks, low stomach acid
Dull, lifeless hair, low essential fatty acids or low vitamin D

Your body has been telling this story the whole time. Most of us were never taught to read it.

Get your mirror out. Do your own detective work.
