You’re doing *everything right*—tracking macros, hitting your workouts, staying consistent… but your results just aren’t matching the effort. 🤯💪 If your body feels stuck, it’s not your willpower—it could be your **minerals.** 🧂⚡️ These tiny nutrients are behind energy, recovery, hormone balance, and metabolism. When they’re off? So is everything else. Ready to train smarter, not harder? 💥 Drop **‘SEMINAR’** below to join the live in person seminar that’s changing the game for do-it-allers who want real results.👇 Hosted at 5th Row Lifting Company, Eau Claire, WI #FitnessFrustration #MineralsMatter #RootCauseWellness #FunctionalFitness #StrongerFromWithin #HormoneHealth

Thinking of doing a detox? Hit pause until you’re pooping daily. 💩 Your body can’t flush toxins if your gut’s backed up—they just recirculate and cause more issues. Detoxing without daily bowel movements? That’s like trying to take out the trash with no door! 🚪🗑️ Want to know how minerals support your gut, energy, and detox pathways? Drop ‘SEMINAR’ below to RSVP for my Free April seminar! ⚡️🧂👇 #MineralsMatter #DetoxSmart #GutHealth #FunctionalWellness #PoopTalk #RootCauseHealing

Your body is detoxing all the time—but it’s not just your liver doing the work. Your gut, skin, kidneys, lymph, lungs, and even muscles all play a role in eliminating waste and keeping you in balance. When one system is sluggish, the others work harder—and that’s when symptoms show up. Minerals fuel these systems. Movement keeps them flowing. It’s not about a quick fix—it’s about giving your body what it needs to do what it’s built for. Want to learn how to support detox through minerals? Drop ‘SEMINAR’ below to join us at 5th Row Lifting on the 27th of April! 👇🔥 #DetoxSupport #MineralsMatter #FunctionalFitness #RootCauseHealing #MoveToDetox #FunctionalWellness

Your body is detoxing 24/7—through your liver, kidneys, skin, lungs, and more. But with so much info out there, detox can feel… overwhelming. 😵‍💫 Here’s the truth: You don’t need extreme cleanses or gimmicks. Your body already knows how to detox—it just needs the right support. Focus on the basics: 💧 Hydration – Water flushes out waste. Simple, yet powerful. 🥦 Nutrient-dense foods – Your liver thrives on real food, not juice cleanses. 🚶‍♂️ Movement & sweating – Exercise + sauna help toxins exit. 😴 Rest & recovery – Detox happens while you sleep! Instead of stressing over every toxin, support your body daily in a way that feels manageable. Want exclusive insights on real detox and functional health?

A healthy relationship with food doesn’t sound like: ❌ “I can’t eat that.” ❌ “I have to earn my food.” ❌ “I’ll start over tomorrow.” Instead, it sounds like: ✅ “I trust my body’s hunger and fullness.” ✅ “Food is fuel, nourishment, and enjoyment.” ✅ “I eat in a way that supports how I want to feel.” When food is no longer a source of guilt, stress, or control, your body can truly thrive.

If your body isn’t in a state of receiving, it won’t digest, absorb, or process food properly—no matter how healthy your meal is. 🚨 If you’re tense, distracted, or rushing, your body stays in fight-or-flight mode, where digestion shuts down and stress hormones take over. This can lead to: ❌ Sluggish digestion – food sits heavy, leading to bloating and discomfort. ❌ Nutrient malabsorption – even the best foods won’t fuel you properly. ❌ Blood sugar crashes & cravings – your body stays in survival mode, leading to energy dips and hunger spikes. If you’re eating in a stressed state, your body isn’t fully receiving nourishment. Want to learn how to break this cycle?

🌸 Spring is here—time to refresh the way you eat! 🌱 Lighter, seasonal foods support digestion, energy, and overall wellness as your body shifts into a new season. Think renewal, balance, and fresh nourishment. Spring eating rules to thrive: ✅ Eat seasonal produce (leafy greens, berries, asparagus) 🥬🍓 ✅ Prioritize detox-supporting foods (lemon, bitter greens, cruciferous veggies) 🍋🥦 ✅ Lighten up meals with fresh, whole ingredients 🌿✨ ✅ Stay hydrated to support natural cleansing 💧 Want more seasonal wellness + nutrition tips?

🚨 Want to learn the truth about detoxing? Drop 'VIP' in the comments to sign up for my VIP list and receive an invite to my upcoming Demystifying Detox webinar (invites are going out in 2 days time)—where we break down how your body truly detoxes and how to support it naturally! 🔥👇 Our brains were wired for survival in an ancient world, but our food environment has changed faster than evolution can keep up. 🧠⚡ Hyper-processed foods, refined sugars, and artificial ingredients hijack natural hunger signals, overstimulate dopamine, and keep us craving more—while leaving us undernourished and inflamed. Your body wasn’t designed for modern food traps—it was built to thrive on real, whole foods. The more we reconnect with ancestral eating patterns, nutrient-dense choices, and intentional nourishment, the better we feel. #AncientBrainsModernFood #FoodPsychology #DetoxMyths #RealFoodFirst #NourishToThrive #FunctionalWellness

Are you eating intentionally or just going through the motions? 🤔🚨 Mindless eating, emotional cravings, and nutrient-poor choices can leave you feeling sluggish, imbalanced, and disconnected from your body’s real needs. If you’re experiencing low energy, constant cravings, bloating, or never feeling truly satisfied, it might be time to reassess your relationship with food. Intentional eating means fueling with purpose—listening to hunger cues, prioritizing quality, and eating in a way that supports your body, not just your appetite.

Drop 'VIP' in the comments to join my insider list before the 20th to get sent the sign up! 🔥👇 What if we counted chemicals instead of calories? 🤯 The quality of your food matters more than the number on the label. Ultra-processed ingredients, inflammatory oils, and artificial additives do more harm to your body than a few extra calories from real, whole foods. True health isn’t about eating less—it’s about eating better. Prioritize nutrient density, food quality, and how your body feels over numbers on a package. Your body deserves better fuel. #QualityOverCalories #RealFoodFirst #FoodAsMedicine #NourishYourBody #DitchDietCulture #FunctionalWellness

Food freedom feels like peace—no more guilt, stress, or overthinking every bite. 🍽️✨ It’s trusting your body, honoring hunger, and enjoying food without restriction or obsession. It’s choosing nourishment because it makes you feel good, not because of rigid rules. When you break free from diet culture and start listening to your body, everything changes—your energy, your mindset, your relationship with food. Ready to experience true food freedom? Follow for more insights! 🔥👇 #FoodFreedom #NourishWithoutGuilt #MindfulEating #ListenToYourBody #DitchDietCulture #FunctionalWellness

Your hunger isn’t random—it’s your body’s way of communicating its needs. 📊 But many of us eat out of habit, stress, or restriction, rather than tuning into real hunger and fullness cues. A hunger scale helps you find balance—eating when you’re truly hungry (not starving) and stopping when satisfied (not stuffed). This supports better digestion, energy, and metabolic health. ⚖️ Learning to trust your hunger is key to long-term wellness. Want more tips on intuitive eating and balanced nutrition?

🚨 LAST CALL! 🚨 My hormone balancing seminar is almost here. Drop 'SEMINAR' in the comments to grab your spot! 👇🔥 Feeling drained, foggy, or constantly low on energy? ⚡ Your mitochondria—the tiny powerhouses in your cells—could be struggling. Chronic inflammation, stress, and nutrient deficiencies can weaken mitochondrial function, leading to fatigue, poor recovery, and even immune dysfunction. Support your energy (and overall health) by prioritizing: ✅ Mitochondria-friendly nutrients (B vitamins, CoQ10, magnesium) 🍳🥑🥜 ✅ Healthy fats for cellular fuel (wild-caught fish, grass-fed butter, MCT oil) 🐟🧈🥥 ✅ Blood sugar balance (protein + fiber-rich meals, avoiding refined carbs) 🥩🥦🥑 ✅ Red light + movement (supports mitochondrial efficiency) 🚶‍♂️☀️ When your mitochondria thrive, your whole body thrives—from brain function to immune balance.

Heart health isn’t just about cholesterol—it’s about inflammation, hormone balance, and immune regulation. 🫀🔥 The same factors that drive cardiovascular disease—chronic inflammation, poor metabolic health, and oxidative stress—also play a role in autoimmune conditions and hormonal imbalances. Support your heart (and whole-body health) with: ✅ Healthy fats (wild-caught fish, olive oil, grass-fed butter) 🐟🥑🧈 ✅ Antioxidant-rich foods (berries, leafy greens, dark chocolate) 🍓🥬🍫 ✅ Magnesium & potassium sources (avocados, nuts, sweet potatoes) 🥑🥜🍠 ✅ Anti-inflammatory spices (turmeric, garlic, ginger) 🌿🧄 Want to learn how nutrition supports hormones balance, helping your heart?

Your body's omega balance plays a huge role in inflammation and immune function—yet most people are getting it all wrong. ❌ The modern diet is overloaded with pro-inflammatory omega-6s (think seed oils & processed foods) and lacking in anti-inflammatory omega-3s from quality seafood, grass-fed meats, and pastured eggs. 🐟🥩🥚 This imbalance can quietly contribute to immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation, creating the perfect storm for long-term health issues—including autoimmunity. 🌪️ The fix? Restore balance. Prioritize omega-3-rich foods, minimize industrial seed oils, and let your diet work for you, not against you. I'm doing a hormone balancing talk March 1st. Learn how this all ties together!

Christmas and Christ's love

It can be difficult to stick to health goals during the Christmas season. Nevertheless, if you can cut the cookies and take to the turkey, you'll thank yourself later. Christmas is not just a fun time though, it's a celebration of a very special birthday. It's important not to lose sight of Jesus with all the glitz and glamour of modern Christmas. Keep in mind the love God has for you at this time and reflect a little on what God calls you to do in your life. And if you're not Christian but are still celebrating, enjoy the excitement, festivities and time with family. You can also still use this time to reflect on the love those around you have for you and how you can spread that love. Merry Christmas from all of us at Heidi Toy Functional Medicine! #Christmas #christian #nutrition #wellness #functionalmedicine

It's the harsh truth. 🫵 Functional Medicine works, but it's not always easy. 😅 If you are doing it right (and I show clients how to do it right) then you will see positive results within 2 months. Pretty much all my clients are getting this, and they are helped by the structure of my programs which are designed to keep them engaged and on track. 🛣 Even if you have some other health issues that are beyond the scope of functional medicine, e.g. you break your arm, you are still going to be getting benefit from living functionally. So if you are not getting benefit, you need to make a change. Some of my clients drop out, or cheat on the nutrition commitments that they agree are acheivable, or take on too much all at once and get overwhelmed. I'm here to help walk the fine line of balance. But we have to stick to the plan to get results. #harshtruth #functionalmedicine #naturopathy #nutrition #naturalhealing

Ditch seed oils - find healing! Seed oils destabalize your Omega 6:3 ratio. Switching to real oils helps to bring you back to balance leading to improvements across body systems! #functionalmedicine #canola #eatinghealthy #HealthyBalance #stressrelief

Eating and healing are deeply personal journeys. There’s no one-size-fits-all, and what works for one person might not be your path. But here’s the beauty of it—sometimes, we need to emulate others to get started. You might follow someone’s meal plans, lifestyle habits, or routines for a while, and that’s okay. It’s a great way to build momentum and learn what fits for you. Eventually, you’ll find your own rhythm, a style that feels right for your body, your mind, your soul. Healing is personal, but it’s also a journey where we’re allowed to learn from each other until we carve out our own path. 💫 #functionalmedicine #naturopathy #learning #mindset #nutrition

Juggling the gym, work, eating healthy, and having a life can feel like a lot, right? But here’s the thing—it’s not about being perfect. It’s about finding your balance, showing up for yourself, and staying consistent, even on the days you don’t feel like it. Progress doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from those small, steady steps that you take every day. Keep going, keep showing up for you—because you’re worth it. 💪✨ #balance #balancedlife #balancedmeals #balancednutrition #functionalmedicine #perfectionism #perfectionist

There’s something magical about the way she greets me, her eyes lighting up, tail wagging like pure joy in motion.

The simple act of her wanting to see me brings this quiet, beautiful healing, like the world slows down just for us. 😇 It’s more than just love; it’s the kind of connection that sparks endorphins and reminds me how good life is in her presence. This bond… it’s pure medicine for the heart.❤🐶 #HealingLove #DogMomLife #EndorphinBoost #PureJoy #stress #stressrelief #stressfree

Putting an autoimmune condition into remission naturally isn’t just about testing or supplements. It’s about the daily habits, the lifestyle, and the routines that may seem boring to some. But here’s the truth—those simple, consistent actions are what make the biggest difference. It’s not the glamorous, quick-fix approach. It’s the long game of healing that works. So, embrace the ‘boring’—because that’s where the magic happens. ✨ #AutoimmuneWarrior #HealingLifestyle #ConsistencyIsKey #HealthJourney #FunctionalMedicine #HealingFromWithin #NaturalRemission #HolisticHealth

Imagine if losing the weight was just inevitable 🫰 With functional medicine shedding the weight is often not the goal because it is a natural by product of the process. This is because good lifestyle means understanding your body, which comes hand in hand with caloric balance and control. #functionalmedicine #weightloss #nutrition #calories #weightlosshelp

Your body could be reacting to foods you’ve always considered harmless or even healthy. Just because something is labeled as nutritious doesn’t mean it works for your body. Sometimes, hidden sensitivities or imbalances can cause unexpected reactions. The only way to know for sure? Test, don’t guess. Understanding your body’s unique needs through proper testing is key to unlocking your health journey. 🌱✨ #healthycoffee #functionalmedicine #nutrition #autoimmune #fatigue

✨ Quick Health Tip: Did you know that immune responses are influenced by more than just what you eat? Factors like stress, sleep quality, and even seasonal changes can affect how your immune system reacts! 🌍 For instance, while good sleep helps regulate immune responses, high stress might make your body more sensitive—even triggering reactions to foods you don’t eat regularly. This can be linked to phenomena like cross-reactivity, where the immune system may mix up similar proteins. Remember, supporting your health means caring for the whole picture! 🌱 #HolisticHealth #ImmuneBalance #WellnessTips #functionalmedicine #healthandwellness

These are the fundamentals of weight loss. ⚖️ It's not about cutting carbs, or cutting fats, it's about knowing your calories and making a consistent effort! Doing it this way not only lets you lose weight, but also makes you healthier, because just cutting carbs or fats can have negative effects compared with focusing on the real problem metric (The Calorie). 🔥 #weightloss #weightlosstips #weightlosshelp #weightlossgoals #functionalmedicine #nutrition #nutritionist

Functional Medicine is Lifestyle! 🌱 When we practice appreciation in our day to day lives, it has a powerful effect on our stress response, as it helps to recalibrate our reward systems towards what truly matters. This is my wonderful akita Freyja, she's a star and when I'm stressed I can use her positivity as a way to recentre. ⭐️ By managing your stress response, you can get ahead in the battle against fatigue, autoimmunes, mental health and everything inbetween. #functionalmedicine #functionalmentalhealth #gratitude #stress #dogs

Your immune system works hard to protect you daily. Here’s how you can give it a helping hand: 1️⃣ Deliver Fuel to your microbiome with the right nutrients, supporting gut health and reducing inflammation. 2️⃣ Distinguish antigens to optimize immune function and prevent unnecessary reactions. 3️⃣ Downregulate inflammation by calming overactive immune responses. Enhance gut defense, repair the lining, and balance autoimmunity with these steps to support overall health. 💪 #ImmuneHealth #GutHealth #Autoimmunity #HealthyLiving #FunctionalMedicine

Okay, let's get stuck in! And where better than with Gluten 😈 You think you are safe from your gluten intolerances! Not So. 🍞⚠️ Introducing "Cross-Reactivity" which makes your gluten intolerance an intolerance to so much more. This is where you want to stop reading because that sounds like one step away from lot of upheaval in your life. And it can well be but the flip side is quite literally your body destroying itself, so it's well worth looking this in the eye while you have the chance. 👀 Prevention is better than cure! When you acquired your gluten sensitivity, you did so by exposing your immune system to some part of gluten in a way that flagged it up as unsafe and to be targeted for destruction ☠. Your antibodies learned how to handle gluten on sight. But depending on what part of gluten they use as an identifier, you can run into serious issues. While gluten isn't *the same* as soy, or oats, or milk, it can share similar structures. 🔨 And thats where you start cross reacting. Your body is defending against the presence of gluten, but it's also reacting to, for example, soy. 🚨 Of course, while it's reacting to either, there are antibodies being churned out, and these antibodies can also attack anything that looks similar in your own body's tissues too. 🔥🤕 That's not how you get into remission. So what can you do? There are a few options. You can test for crossreactivity, you can run elimination diets or you can bite the bullet and cut out the potential offenders..... But by far the best step you can take is booking in a session with yours truly 😉 #ceoliac #glutenfree #glutenfreefood #functionalmedicine #functionalhealth

Aaaaand we're back! 📍 I've been busy behind the scenes helping clients, refining my focus on what I can bring to social, and taking some much needed self care space. ☀ In the last 7 months I've gone back to the roots of *why* I live and breathe functional medicine. I've been using the elbow grease to make sure my clients are at the cutting edge of functional health, building on my 14 years of experience day by day by exploring ever more specialised areas and new disciplines. And it's been extremely rewarding, in a way that feels almost nostalgic. 🌱 So why the hell am I back on socials?! 🧐 I'm here because I have something to offer you. I have knowledge you NEED to understand for your health. I have tools nobody else has that people NEED to know about for their health. I have perspectives that NEED to be heard. 📣 I have more to contribute to this space as a whole, this is my field of expertise, and as an expert I can help to make sure it doesn't degrade.

🌿 The Gut-Hormone Connection: Heal Your Gut, Transform Your Health! 🌀✨ When I was 36 I was told I had adrenal fatigue, but at 32 I had severe digestive issues and lived on an acid blocker. At the time I didn't know the connection but I know it now, and you should too. If you have hormone imbalance, fatigue, or thyroid issues then there's a very good chance you have gut health issues. Even if you don't have symptoms. 80% of our immune system is in our gut. We digest and absorb in our gut. We host an ecological system in our gut. We detox via our gut. We make a multi vitamin in our gut. (Thiamine, folate, biotin, riboflavin, and pantothenic acid) Optimizing Digestion and gut health is key to taking back your energy. So much so that my program EnergyRx dedicates entire weeks to learning all about it. #HealWithin #healyourgut #healyourgutnaturally #healyourguthealyourlife #microbiome #adrenalfatigue #fatigue #guthealth #guthealthforlife #guthealth #guthealthmatters

🧠 Gut Feeling? Think Again! Digestion Begins in the Brain! 🍏✨ Most people think digestion begins in the stomach or sometimes the mouth. Close but no cigar Digestion begins in the brain. We are either in a State of Receiving OR State of Stress Adrenal Fatigue (dysregulation) is a STRESS state. Fatigue is a STRESS State Hormone Imbalance is a STRESS State Not digesting is a STRESS State see the pattern?! Our brain controls digestion Mere sight, scent, or thought of food kickstarts digestion Think of something sweet and your brain is already telling your pancreas to release enzymes for carbohydrates 🍭🤯 Think of something bitter that elicits a gallbladder response When you work with a practitioner they MUST look at all areas of your digestion including your brain. Without this leaky gut, detoxing, fat digestion, SIBO, etc They will be difficult to heal. The brain sets the stage! Want to know where your stress is?

Sugar ain't so bad. In fact it's essential! But it needs to come from the right places. And one of those right places is fruit. Sugar from candy is free and rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. 🩸🍦 This destroys your blood sugar stability. Meanwhile the sugar in fruits is the same stuff, it's nicely packed inside cells of the fruit. Plant cells are sturdy stuff, so your digestive enzymes take a good deal longer to absorb that sugar. 🍇 This keeps your blood sugar a lot more stable which stops you from disturbing your circadian rhythm (sleep pattern) and other important stuff 😁 As a *safer* sugar (copious amounts in one sitting are still bad, let's be sensible) use fruit as a tool to make your healthy nutrition plan delightfully sweet. That's not the full run down on fruits of course, I go way more in depth in my course EnergyRx, and in my live practice. Nevertheless, enjoy an orange today, and follow for more tips. 🍊 #sugar #bloodsugar #bloodsugarbalance #fruit #fructose #nutrition #vitamins #keto #paleo #bloodsugarmanagement #functionalmedicine #fatigue #fatiguerelief

Are you stressed out? Well not to add to your plate here but those aches and pains your getting aren't unrelated. 🤕 There's nothing quite like stress to knock your health down a peg. 🔨 Your body is making cortisol to maintain the stress state, but it's also inflamed and it's waiting for rest to deflame. Think about your caveman ancestors, they needed all their resources diverted to the needs of the now in order to survive. But rest came for them, often in a way it doesn't for modern people. So the body developed to use that time for healing. If you don't step out of the stress you won't heal, and you'll stay in pain and fatigue.

🔥 Burnout goes beyond the exhaustion we often associate with it. I completely understand burnout. I had job burnout as a diagnostic medical sonographer. I then led the development and had burnout there too. Both are highly demanding jobs in a competitive field. This is when I hit a brick wall - and my hair started falling out and my butt got wider, despite restrictive dieting and exercise - which was only aiding and abetting my burnout and driving my autoimmune. Along my journey, I found FM and namely nutrition but even then no one talked to me about slowing down. At least not directly. There are three components: first, the physical and emotional fatigue from prolonged stress. Then, there's the cynicism, that 'take this job and shove it' vibe. Finally, it hits you with self-blame. "What's wrong with me?" "Why can't I handle it?" Let's break the burnout cycle and prioritize well-being. 💪🌟 #BurnoutAwareness #selfcarejourney #stressrelief #burnout #burnoutrecovery #stress #fatigue #tired #wellnessjourney #cortisol #stressmanagement #mystory #drainedenergy #energy #procrastination #motivation

Sleep deprivation is killer for your thyroid. 🔪 You may not notice it at first but if you keep your sleep schedule out of sync your going to start slipping into a depleted state and feeling some serious fatigue. 🥱 It's a very common cause of thyroid issues, but often it's just the middleman. That is to say that you don't sleep because you don't want to or don't feel like it, but you don't feel like it because of further issues in the body like blood sugar. I'll have content on that coming out soon too, so follow for more 👆 #stress #thyroid #thyroidawarenessmonth #ThyroidAwareness #thyroid #bloodsugar #sleep #sleepdeprivation #melatonin #cortisol #functionalmedicine #fntp #nutrition #SleepWellLiveWell #circadianrhythm #WellnessJourney

Hydration is crucial to taking back your energy but your water is doing the opposite! ㅤ Fluoride in your drinking water could be linked to underactive thyroids! 🚰💔 Here's the scoop: Fluoride, with its close chemical resemblance to iodine, tricks the thyroid into thinking it's getting iodine. ㅤ The catch? Thyroid can't use fluoride to fuel hormones. It's like fluoride is sneakily stealing iodine's spot in the thyroid's "gas tank," paving the way for hypothyroidism. 🚫🦠 ㅤ Dealing with Adrenal Dysregulation AKA Adrenal Fatigue? 🌿 Beyond chronic stress, the presence of toxins in your body can play a role in triggering and intensifying this condition. 🚫✨ Toxins may interfere with the adrenal hormone process crucial for managing stress, disrupting your usual Stress Response. ㅤ Beware of chlorine and bromine—they're not friends with your thyroid! 🚫 Just like fluoride, these elements can trick your thyroid by mimicking iodine's chemical structure. Picture this: on the periodic table, chlorine, fluorine, bromine, and iodine cozy up in group 17. Your thyroid might mistakenly absorb them, causing iodine deprivation. 🧪💡 ㅤ Analyzing HTMA results for clients involves examining contaminant levels, and considering symptoms, lifestyle, and environment. I leverage insights from the periodic table to guide mineral replacements for a holistic approach. 🌿🔍 ㅤ BPA might be a culprit behind Hashimoto’s disease and hypothyroidism. Sneaking into tap water and even bottled water, it finds its way to your faucet. Beware: hot coffee lids can be a hotspot for BPA exposure—a potential thyroid disaster. 🚱☕️ Say no to BPA for thyroid well-being! 🚫🦠 ㅤ Look, if I tell you much more I'm gonna hit the character limit. ㅤ In my program EnergyRx designed to help you heal your body, and your fatigue I teach you everything you need to know about water! That's where you can really learn how to heal. ㅤ Comment "Heal" below for a free call with me where you'll find out what you need to help yourself. ㅤ #thyroid #hypothyroidism #thyroidproblems #hashimotos #hormones #health #thyroidhealing #hashimotosdisease #functionalmedicine #fatigue

Throwback to July, with warmer weather and a wonderful 3-day bike trip 🚴‍♀️ Biking is a great activity for keeping fit, and don't restrict yourself to the indoor bikes at your gym; there are loads of great places to go here in Wisconsin (and wherever you are, if you aren't from here, I'm sure). Check out @TravelWisconsin for great ideas and locations! 🏞️ Set aside a little time, and make a trip of it with some friends like I did. It really helps keep motivation during the tougher parts of a ride and spices up the downtime too. Healthy and active time off with a social component is the highest quality mental refresher you can get. It's counter-intuitive, but getting on a bike will leave you feeling more energized than a day on the sofa (and we all know this from our days on the sofa, which end in lethargy and creeping guilts about what we could have done instead). 📺 🛋️ It was great, and I came back feeling refreshed and de-stressed.

Beware the sly grain and bread! 🍞 It sneaks into every kind of meal and it neutrality gives it an innocence which disguises it's dangers. 🥸 Whole grain bread can do a real number on your body and puts you on the fast track to autoimmune. This is a clip of me on the Leap of Health podcast with @AlexBalgood, discussing the dangers of whole grain. Believe me, stepping away from bread pains me as much as it pains you, but sometimes you've got to let go of things that hurt you, despite their appeal #Bread #Wholegrain #AutoImmune #LeapOfHealth #Podcast #AlexBalgood #HeidiToy #EnergyRx #HeidiToyFunctionalMedicine #TakeBackYourEnergy #FunctionalMedicine #Healing #Health #Wellbeing #Energized #Fatigue #NaturalMedicine #AlternativeMedicine #NaturalHealth #NaturalHealing #Tired #TiredMom #TiredMama

Meat is a central part of a healthy diet for most people 🥩 Especially as we get older we can require more meat. If you have an autoimmune, you may not feel like eating it, even though it's what you need to get your gut health back on track. That said, there is a right way and a wrong way to go about meat consumption. #HeidiToy #EnergyRx #HeidiToyFunctionalMedicine #TakeBackYourEnergy #FunctionalMedicine #Healing #Health #Wellbeing #Energized #Fatigue #NaturalMedicine #AlternativeMedicine #NaturalHealth #NaturalHealing #Tired #TiredMom #TiredMama

MONTHLY MILESTONE! 🪨🏃‍♀️ In July we are focusing on Sleep 😴 Sleep is a corner stone of our well being and is key in reclaiming our energy. ⚡ This Month's SMART Goals 🤓 Hard: Get to Sleep by 10pm everyday this Month Alternative: Get to Sleep by 10pm... 2 days in the first week of July, 3 days in the second week of July, 5 days in the third week of July, 7 days in the fourth week of July and continue till month end. Keep track on your calendar or schedule. If you miss a day, don't be disheartened, missing a day is 100x better than never trying at all. 🗓️ We are trying to heal the circadian rhythm here, which will help you build an ongoing habit of better sleep. After this month, going to sleep at 10pm (in absence of other issues needing addressed) will come naturally. 🌱 We'll check in at the end of the month and address the benefits of this change, so much to look forward to 😁 #HeidiToy #EnergyRx #MonthlyMilestone #HealthMilestone #ActionPlan #Milestone #GoalSetting #HeidiToyFunctionalMedicine #TakeBackYourEnergy #FunctionalMedicine #Healing #Health #Wellbeing #Energized #Fatigue #NaturalMedicine #AlternativeMedicine #NaturalHealth #NaturalHealing
