Helping people find better health, naturally.

11/03/2026

If the rumors are true, hey, hi, and hello! 👋 You’re in the right place!

I’ve spent enough years in practice to know that the best healthcare doesn’t make getting healthy MORE complicated. It should make it simpler.

That’s why in our office, we aren’t jumping straight to eliminating every food you’ve ever loved or shaming you over your fitness routine.

Because good health isn’t built on impossible rules and unrealistic expectations. It’s built on sustainable habits and changes that actually make sense for YOUR life.

Here’s what we believe in:

➡️ Small, manageable supplement protocols. More isn’t always better.
➡️ Dietary restrictions only when necessary. And only when they actually make sense for YOU.
➡️ Incremental changes that add up. Small, realistic adjustments that are easy to work into your life and can deliver big gains over time.
➡️ Looking for answers instead of guessing. Using our approach to assess the body, identify areas that need support, and connect the dots between your symptoms.

Healing should NEVER feel like a full time job, and if it does, you’ve got the wrong approach.

Healing can be simple. 🌿

If this sounds like the kind of healthcare you’ve been looking for, our team would love to help you take the next step in your health journey.

Save this for later or send it to a family member who’s been coughing since September. 😂🤧

If you’re feeling like this latest respiratory virus NEVER ends, you’re not alone.

Here’s what we’re seeing:

➡️ Coughs lasting WEEKS, not days.
➡️ What feels like 14.5 business days between one family member getting sick and the next person getting it.
➡️ Deep congestion that seems to get worse at night or with temperature changes (like stepping outside into the cold).

Sound familiar? 😂

Here’s what you can do about it:

1. Stop running yourself into the ground. I know that feels nearly impossible this time of year, but you’ve GOT to give your body some time to rest and recover.

2. Get the right support on board. We’ve been seeing good results with Standard Process Congaplex and Allerplex in our practice. The key is finding the right support for YOUR body and what it’s dealing with, rather than throwing every immune supplement in your cabinet at the problem.

3. Tackle the lingering congestion. Don’t overlook simple things like a steamy shower, a cup of hot tea, or even a sauna if you have access to one and are feeling up for it. A little warmth and moisture can go a long way toward helping you feel more comfortable when you’re congested.

4. Don’t ignore the lingering cough. Pay attention to whether you’re actually improving, and if you’re not, it’s time to get some additional help. (Translation: Don’t ignore a cough that has turned into bronchitis or pneumonia)

5. Get ahead of the next round BEFORE you’re sick again. 😂 Because we all know someone is going to bring home the next mystery illness just when you start to relax after everyone finally recovers. NOW is the time to focus on supporting your system, don’t wait until you’re miserable to start taking care of yourself.

Lastly, don’t forget to bring in extra support when you need it!

You don’t have to figure everything out on your own. If you’re tired of feeling like you’re constantly fighting off the next illness, our team at Amy Vowles | Holistic Functional Medicine would love to help you figure out what YOUR body needs to feel its best.

And if you still feel like you are struggling, or you need a little extra support? That’s what our team is here for Amy Vowles | Holistic Functional Medicine Comment ME and I’ll tell you where we’d start. ☀️

I see this every day.

You came in to talk about your bloating, and somehow we’re discussing your liver, hormones, and nervous system.

Maybe not what you expected but welcome to functional medicine. 😂

The message we’re always communicating is this: Your body doesn’t operate in separate departments. Nothing happens in isolation.

You come in to talk about your gut, but your hormones, nervous system, liver and gallbladder can all influence digestion.

One thing we see over and over again is that the reason you haven’t made progress is because you’ve been focusing on ONE piece of a much bigger puzzle.

That’s why we look at the whole picture, and that’s why we spend so much time connecting the dots. 🧩

If you’re ready to stop figuring this out in your own, comment ME and I’ll tell you what I’d look at first.

We just traded one hour of sleep for months of darkness at 5 pm and I’m not sure it was the exchange we were looking for.

With days getting shorter and seasonal depression a very real threat, here are 5 things I’d start doing RIGHT NOW:

☀️ 1. Vitamin D. NOW. Don’t wait until you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel on your reserves. Get your levels checked and make sure you’re getting the support you need.

🌤️ 2. Soak up every bit of sunlight you can. Get outside, take a walk every day the weather lets you. Eat lunch outdoors as long as it’s not freezing or raining. Natural light is one of the best tools we have for supporting our circadian rhythms and mood.

🍲 3. Batch prepare some cozy meals while fall enthusiasm is still high. Future-you, who has absolutely no desire to cook dinner when it’s dark at 4:45 PM, will thank you.

😴 4. Protect your sleep schedule. Go to bed and wake up at consistent times. Your circadian rhythm is already adjusting to the seasonal shift, don’t make it work harder than it needs to by binge-watching something until 1 am on a Monday.

🗓️ 5. Make plans that get you out of the house. Schedule the coffee dates, outdoor walks with friends, and other things you can actually look forward to. Once January rolls around and your couch starts feeling like your entire personality, you’re going to need a reason to leave it. 😂

—> And Finally, don’t be afraid to ask for a little extra support. If you’re doing all the things and know you still struggle this time of year, that’s what the team at Optimum Wellness Solutions is here for.

We can help you prioritize what matters for your health so this winter can be a little easier on you.

They called it witchcraft. I call it clinical nutrition. 🧙‍♀️🌿

Honestly, there’s something a little magical about using plants to help the body heal.

Leaves, roots, flowers, and berries. Tiny little gifts from nature packed with compounds that can do some pretty incredible things inside the human body.

I love knowing that generations of women were mixing up herbs, brewing teas, and passing down their knowledge long before anyone thought to put it in a textbook.

Maybe the witches were onto something. 😉

Happy Halloween from your friendly neighborhood herb enthusiast. 🎃

We got a visit from a friendly banana dog earlier this week! Happy Halloween! 🎃 🍌

Around here we think some things deserve to be ghosted. 👻😂

Consider this your permission slip to stop overcomplicating wellness, following every new trend, and taking advice from people who don’t know a thing about YOUR body.

Healing really can be simple. 🫶🏻

Which one are you ghosting first? 👀

It’s all about balance, right? 🎃 🍬

Everyone knows people can get a little kooky around a full moon. 🌕😂

Interestingly enough, some people believe there’s a connection between the full moon and parasite activity, too.

Coincidence? Maybe. But after yesterday, I have questions. 😂

Have you ever noticed people acting a little differently around a full moon?
