What if I told you this generation of children is the first not expected to outlive their parents? Despite unprecedented medical advances, chronic disease rates in children have skyrocketed by 400%. As a Naturopath and mother, this reality keeps me up at night. The perfect storm has been brewing: from compromised birth experiences to excessive sugar consumption, from constant screen time to environmental toxins. Our children's bodies are sending distress signals through anxiety, behavioral i...

Vibing Well with Dr. Stacy (A Foundational Approach... ·

2025/08/27

Your body isn't failing you—it's responding logically to the conditions you've created. When hormones plummet, whether sex hormones or thyroid, it's a sign your body is prioritizing survival over optimization. The hierarchy of hormones explains why so many of us struggle with imbalances despite our best efforts. Survival hormones like cortisol always take precedence, and when they're chronically elevated, everything else suffers. I've witnessed countless clients (and experienced myself) the ...

2025/08/06

Dr. Stacy explores the critical differences between food cravings and insatiable hunger, revealing how our biochemistry—not willpower—drives these powerful urges and impacts sustainable weight management. • Cravings are the body's communication system telling us something is out of balance—whether blood sugar, gut health, or mineral deficiencies • Sweet cravings typically indicate blood sugar dysregulation, metabolic inflexibility, or specific nutrient deficiencies like B vitamins, magnesium...

2025/07/24

Fat distribution matters more than weight alone for metabolic health, with invisible fat deposits in the liver, visceral area, and muscles driving inflammation before subcutaneous fat accumulates. These hidden fat stores can cause metabolic dysfunction even in people who appear thin, with liver fat becoming problematic at just 0.5 pounds while subcutaneous fat allows up to 22 pounds before similar risks develop. • Different fat storage locations have varying impacts on metabolic health • Sub...

In today's episode I unpack ALL things STRESS (what it does to our body long term and how it impacts everything from our behavior, to our thoughts and perceptions, and how to find what OUR bodies in particular are tagging as a threat (Hint, it could just be TOO MUCH of even a good thing!) With that, it is imperative to talk about the amount of (over) information we are constantly consuming - is it helping or harming us? Could it also be contributing to the chronic stress factor? H...

In today's episode, I discuss how added sugar and refined/processed foods (yes, even organic, dairy-free, and gluten-free processed foods are STILL processed and refined), still unrecognizable to the mitochondria, still void of nutrients that our gut microbime needs (like fiber!), and also causing MORE inflammation and mitochondria dysfucntion which contirbutes to all METABOLIC diseases including: Stoke CVD/Heart Disease/Atherosclerosis Kidney Disease Liver Disease and Failure, NAFLD, Cirrhos...

In today's episode, I chat about how to bring in protein, strength training, and building muscle in a supportive and intentional way (And WHY we need to always be making this our eventual goal along any healing journey). I talk about the nuance of protein consumption, why it is not favorable to overdo it when living a sedentary lifestyle, but how to strategically increase it as the body is ready, so that we can get to a more foundational place for sustainable health. I also talk about h...

In today's episode, I talk about how the body works to heal itself (and how it compensates to do so), what systems the body enlists to try and maintain this "balance," and how symptoms start to pop up when these systems become overwhelmed. Balance is always key, and my hope in this episode it to shed light on something in your own day-to-day that is lacking balance in some way (especially if you are experiencing chronic symptoms in any way!)

2025/03/18

Today, we discuss a foundational pillar when it comes to our healing potential and that is connecting to our body's biological or circadian clock. There is nothing more stressful to the body and its healing potential than not knowing what time of day it is and we uncover all of the things that send the body mixed signals where it loses its "timing" and therefore doesn't know what program to run and when!

In today's episode, we uncover how thyroid problems are never "just" the thyroid- we always need to be thinking of supporting thyroid hormones as a system. This involves the singalling that starts in the brain, the conversion areas (gut and liver), making sure the body isn't diverting too much energy into the HPA pathway, before even thinking about directing our energy into the thyroid hormone itself!

In today's episode, I reiterate the myth of "adrenal fatigue" and how to start looking at it from a new lens. WHAT is draining your adrenals so much in the first place? What is causing stress hormones to be so high that is contrbuting to that drain? There is ALWAYS something in the day to day that is being overlooked and until we find that "leak" of stress induction, it will be impossible to "balance your minerals" or heal the adrenals.This conversation couldn't be had without talking about t...
