Stress isn’t just a feeling — it’s a physiological pattern your body repeats every single day.

If you’ve been dealing with fatigue, poor sleep, weight changes, anxiety, or brain fog, your stress hormones may be telling a deeper story.

Our newest blog breaks down how your HPA axis (your body’s stress-response system) works — and introduces the Adrenocortex Stress Profile, a simple at‑home saliva test that reveals how your cortisol and DHEA levels rise and fall throughout the day.

Inside the article, you’ll learn:
• What your daily cortisol rhythm should look like
• How chronic stress disrupts energy, sleep, mood, and metabolism
• Why this test uncovers issues traditional labs often miss
• Who benefits most from understanding their stress response
• How Island Health uses these insights to create personalized, restorative care plans

If you’ve been feeling “off” and can’t pinpoint why, this is the clarity you’ve been looking for.

A Holiday Dessert that Loves You Back! Purple Sweet Potato Tart with of Vero Beach, Florida

Pillar 1 of Lifestyle Medicine is all about nourishment — choosing whole, plant-based foods that support vitality, longevity, and joy. This week in our Lifestyle Medicine in Action series, I joined Chef Anthony and Chef Lisa Damiano of Counter Culture Vero Beach to create a holiday dessert that is as beautiful as it is nutritious: the Purple Sweet Potato Tart.

Rich in antioxidants, naturally sweet, and completely plant-based, this tart proves you never have to sacrifice flavor to eat well. It’s a festive, wholesome option for gatherings — or any time you want a dessert that fuels your health instead of derailing it.

Watch the full recipe come to life in our YouTube video (LINK IN BIO) and try it at home for a holiday treat your body will thank you for.

Purple Sweet Potato Tart Recipe

Crust

• 1 cup dates

• 2 cups raw almonds

• 1 tbsp vanilla

Pulse in a food processor until crumbly and sticky. Press into an 8–9” tart pan.

Filling

Roast potatoes until soft, blend with remaining ingredients, pour into crust, and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Cool and serve. Add plant-based whipped topping if desired.
