Discover how sleep hygiene , mitochondrial health, ideal thyroid function, and hormone health can revolutionize your well-being.
Master your Sleep Hygiene
Great days start with great nights!
Sleep hygiene is first and foremost for a good night's sleep. We know that eliminating caffeine after 2 PM, going to bed on an empty stomach, stopping electronics two hours before bed, sleeping in a cold, dark room, and going to bed and getting up at the same time each day are all important strategies for a restful night’s sleep.
Limit Alcohol for Improved Quality of Sleep
How many of you have had a few drinks before bed, thinking that this will help you fall asleep fast, leading to a good nights sleep?
The problem with alcohol is that as the initial sedative effect wears off, the body experiences a rebound arousal effect, causing interrupted sleep the remainder of the night.
Alcohol also interferes with production of the important sleep hormone melatonin, while disrupting the natural sleep-wake cycle. If a good night’s sleep and renewed energy are your goal, then limiting alcohol is in your best interest!
Boost your Cellular Energy Production
We all realize that a good night's sleep is crucial for productivity the following day. But what about the power of your mitochondria?
At the heart of every vibrant day is your cell's powerhouse: the mitochondria. Mitochondrial health is negatively influenced by factors such as high stress, inflammation, insulin resistance, and an ultra processed, high sugar diet.
Aging also affects mitochondrial function in that the mitochondria become less effective at producing ATP. This leads to reduced cellular energy availability.
Mitigate the Effects of Stress and Aging
To mitigate the effects that stress and aging can have on the mitochondria, it is important to adopt a lifestyle that includes a diet rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory foods, and regular physical activity.
Consuming nutrients that support mitochondrial function, such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, including vitamin C and vitamin E, and mitochondrial specific nutrients like Coenzyme Q10, alpha lipoic acid, and N- acetyl- cysteine helps maintain mitochondrial health.
Managing stress levels and reducing exposure to environmental toxins are also crucial in order to support mitochondrial function as we age.
Optimize your Thyroid Function
Our thyroid gland plays a pivotal role in regulating energy, metabolism, and mood. Aging, stress, and a poor diet negatively impact our thyroid hormone production.
Autoimmune thyroid conditions are on a rise in our country. Traditional doctors often under-diagnose a low thyroid condition, and many patients suffer exhaustion and weight gain due to this medical error.
At Integrative Health Solutions by Shay, we understand the importance of optimal thyroid function, and know how to help you manage your thyroid appropriately.
Balance your Hormones and Enhance your Energy
Hormonal imbalances can significantly impact your sleep, quality of life, and energy levels. Our hormone optimization services focus on identifying and addressing imbalances that may be affecting your well-being.
From stress hormones like cortisol to sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, we’ll help you achieve a harmonious balance that supports restful sleep and dynamic energy throughout your day.
