Our final Open House spotlight brings together two wonderful businesses that share a love of helping people feel their best! ❤️

First up, Nourish by Na, created by Chef Raina!

Raina is a Wellness Chef and Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach who creates thoughtful, seasonal food experiences for retreats, workshops, wellness events, and gatherings. Her goal is to take the food planning and prep off your plate while making meals that are nourishing, delicious, and memorable.

And if you join us at the Open House, you can sample her homemade cinnamon swirl pumpkin muffins! They’re gluten-free and dairy-free, too. 🎃

You can also meet Lauren from Planting Roots Nutrition, who will be sharing more about her nutrition counseling services and her Roots program.

Lauren is offering a special Open House bonus: two free months of her membership for anyone who schedules a discovery call that day! She’s also generously donating access to her Roots program for our raffle.

Whether you’re looking for support with your own nutrition or dreaming up a retreat or wellness gathering and need a chef, this is a great opportunity to connect with both of them.

We’re so excited to bring together local businesses that are making wellness a little more accessible, practical, and enjoyable.

If you used to be a great sleeper and suddenly you're waking up at 3 AM, struggling to fall back asleep, or waking up feeling like you barely slept...

You're not imagining it.

Sleep is one of the most common things that changes during perimenopause and menopause.

And it's not always as simple as "estrogen is low."

Changes in progesterone, estrogen, body temperature regulation, circadian rhythms, stress, sleep apnea, nighttime urination, and more can all play a role.

Sometimes there's one obvious culprit. Sometimes it's a combination of several things.

The good news? You don't necessarily have to just accept poor sleep as part of getting older.

There are a lot of different ways to support sleep during this stage of life, and the right approach depends on what's actually disrupting your sleep in the first place.

If your sleep has changed, it's worth getting curious about why.

That's where we start.

Our Open House is getting closer, and we’re continuing to introduce you to some of the local wellness businesses joining us on October 24!

Next up is a true South Minneapolis neighborhood staple: Southside Chiropractic. ❤️

Southside Chiropractic has been part of the South Minneapolis community since 1984, offering chiropractic care alongside massage therapy, acupuncture, therapeutic exercise, and other supportive therapies.

We’re excited to have them at the Open House so you can learn more about their services, meet Dr. Laura, and get to know a little more about the practice right here in our neighborhood.

And they’re bringing an especially good raffle prize with them:
🎟️ 30-minute massage gift certificate
🎟️ New patient chiropractic appointment
That’s two chances to win some time to take care of yourself!

If you’ve been curious about Southside Chiropractic, this is a great opportunity to stop by, meet the team, and ask questions in a relaxed setting.

We’re so happy to have another local South Minneapolis practice joining us!

October is the sweet spot. The holidays haven’t picked up yet, but they will, and before we know it it’s January and we’re trying to restart a routine we lost back in November.

So let’s get ahead of it now.

Winter is when movement matters most. It helps with sleep, mood, energy, and stress at exactly the time of year those things tend to slide. A routine you build now is one that can carry you through the busy weeks.

Swipe for our favorite ways to keep moving through a Minnesota winter, indoors and out.

What’s your go to winter activity? Tell us below. ⛸️🎿

If you feel like you’re running on empty every winter, book a visit and let’s look at what’s going on.

🌿 Lisa Smyth Vitale | Lisa Smyth Vitale, L.Ac.
Lisa is a Licensed Acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine practitioner offering acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, cosmetic acupuncture, and more. She’ll be offering mini acupuncture treatments or abbreviated cosmetic treatments.

Who’s tired? 🙋‍♀️

It’s time to bust out that SAD light!

Here in Minnesota, we’re already losing a noticeable amount of daylight, and I can definitely feel it. This is actually a great time to start using a light therapy lamp rather than waiting until the middle of winter when you’re completely dragging.

Morning light is an important signal for your circadian rhythm and can help support alertness during the day, mood, and healthy sleep-wake rhythms.

A few quick tips: ☀️ Look for a lamp that provides 10,000 lux and filters UV light. ☀️ Use it in the morning, ideally while you’re eating breakfast, drinking coffee, or getting ready for the day. ☀️ You don’t need to stare directly into it. Position it nearby and follow the manufacturer’s recommended distance and timing. ☀️ Consistency matters more than waiting until you feel terrible.

And yes, I’m fully aware that October is still technically fall. But in Minnesota, I say we get ahead of it. 😂

Who’s already got their SAD light out?

If your ADHD suddenly feels harder to manage in your 40s, you're not alone.

We hear from women who say things like, "I used to be able to hold everything in my head. Now I can't keep track of anything."

Perimenopause can bring some of these changes to the surface. Estrogen interacts with the brain's dopamine system, while changing hormones, disrupted sleep, stress, and other midlife factors can all affect attention and executive function.

And for some people, this is also when they finally recognize patterns of ADHD that had been masked by years of coping strategies and structure.

If your focus, memory, motivation, or follow-through have changed, it's worth looking at the whole picture rather than chalking it up to getting older.

We can help you sort through what's changing and what options might make sense for you.

We’re getting really excited for our Open House on October 24! 🥳

We’ve invited some of our favorite local wellness businesses to join us, and over the next few weeks, we’ll be introducing you to the people who will be there.

First up: Lynn with Full Circle of Love. ❤️

Lynn is a familiar face around Wellness Minneapolis. She worked with us for years, and we’ve always loved having her here. She’s one of those people who has a way of making you feel comfortable almost immediately, and she provides truly wonderful care.

These days, Lynn is practicing out of Yess Yoga, where she offers Reiki and other energy-based services.

For the Open House, she’ll be offering 20-minute Reiki mini sessions, and we’re pretty excited about it. If you’ve been curious about Reiki but haven’t tried it before, this is a great opportunity to experience it for yourself.

✨ Appointments are limited, so grab your 20-minute spot ahead of time: fullcircleoflove.com

And if you already know and love Lynn, you know why we’re so happy to have her back in our orbit. 💕

PS she’s donating a FULL reiki session to our raffle. Everyone who attends can enter the raffle so we hope to see you there!

If you've noticed that bread, pasta, potatoes and comfort food sound a whole lot better once September rolls around, you're not imagining it.

Here in Minnesota, we're already losing daylight.

Changes in light exposure can affect circadian rhythm, sleep, mood and appetite. Serotonin signaling also changes with the seasons, and carbohydrates can temporarily increase the availability of tryptophan, which your brain uses to make serotonin.

That doesn't mean every fall carb craving is a serotonin problem. Bodies are more complicated than that.

Instead, look at the bigger picture:

☀️ Are you getting enough morning light?

🥚 Are you eating enough protein and fiber during the day?

🍞 Are you eating enough overall, or trying too hard to restrict carbohydrates?

😴 Has your sleep changed?

🧠 Are you carrying more stress than usual?

Sometimes the answer isn't to fight the craving harder. It's to figure out what's behind it.

And if your cravings are showing up alongside significant fatigue, unexpected weight changes, shakiness or energy crashes, that's worth looking into too.

Your body is giving you information all the time.
