Iodine is essential for thyroid health, metabolism, energy, brain development, and possibly breast tissue health.

Your body cannot make iodine on its own, and low levels may contribute to fatigue, feeling cold, weight changes, hair thinning, dry skin, brain fog, and thyroid swelling.

While iodine can be found in foods like seafood, seaweed, beans, baked potatoes, and dried cranberries, levels can vary — which is why testing can be helpful.

More iodine is not always better, especially if you have thyroid issues or thyroid antibodies. Testing helps personalize your plan.

Stop guessing your calories.

In this video, I’m showing what I eat in a day and how I measure my food to track more accurately.

Two things that make a huge difference:
1. Use a food scale
2. Get your RMR measured so you know how many calories your body actually burns at rest.

We recommend DexaFit for RMR testing.

Fiber does more than support digestion - it also helps with gut health, cholesterol, blood sugar control, and fullness.

Some fibers are prebiotic, meaning they feed beneficial gut bacteria. These bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids which help support the gut lining and healthy inflammation balance.

Research links higher fiber intake with lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, colorectal cancer, and early death. Low fiber intake can contribute to constipation, irregular bowel movements, blood sugar swings, and poorer cholesterol control.

Add more fiber with beans, lentils, oats, berries, apples, pears, avocado, chia, flax, nuts, vegetables, and whole grains.

Start slowly and drink enough water as your intake increases.

The health benefits of sauna go beyond relaxation. Long-term Finnish research in men and mixed-sex adult cohorts found that frequent sauna use was associated with lower cardiovascular mortality, all-cause mortality, and hypertension risk. Regular heat therapy may support circulation, blood pressure, stress recovery, and overall wellness.

Not sure how much protein you need?

A practical target for active adults is 0.7–1.0g of protein per pound of body weight per day.

Use the higher end if you’re:
Recovering from an injury
Trying to maintain muscle in a calorie deficit
Managing bone density concerns
Training hard or lifting regularly

Example:
If you weigh 150 lbs, aim for about 105–150g of protein per day.

Easy lean protein examples:
3 oz chicken breast = ~25–27g
1 can tuna = ~20–25g
1 cup Greek yogurt = ~20–23g
1 cup cottage cheese = ~25g
1 cup egg whites = ~25–26g
½ block extra-firm tofu = ~20–25g

A simple goal: build meals around 25–50g of protein to support muscle, recovery, and healthy body composition.
Save this protein guide for your next grocery trip.

Do you know your hs-CRP?

hs-CRP is a blood marker that helps measure systemic inflammation — an important factor in heart disease, stroke, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic inflammatory risk.
Unlike regular CRP, hs-CRP is more sensitive and is better for detecting systemic inflammation.

In our professional opinion, the goal is under 0.8 mg/L.

Ready to know your number? Use our finger prick test kit to measure hs-CRP from home, or visit our website for supplements that support a healthy hs-CRP level.
