How to Self-Preserve with Self-Care

This blog explores the real meaning of self-care: honoring your health with smart choices, setting boundaries, and creating sustainable habits.

Take the Time to Care for Yourself

This blog explores why wellness isn’t gendered, how modern society has complicated self-care, and why what works for others may not work for you. From everyday basics like sleep, hydration, and movement to meaningful habits like connecting with friends, setting boundaries, or seeking therapy, the goal is to create practices that feel authentic. Real self-care isn’t about appearances—it’s about honoring your needs.

Your Mitochondria May Affect Your Mood – Here’s How

Mitochondria, often called the “powerhouses” of cells, play a crucial role in brain energy and mental health. When mitochondria fail to meet energy demands, neurons may struggle to communicate effectively, potentially contributing to depression and other mood disorders. Research links mitochondrial dysfunction and stress to DNA leakage, inflammation, and worsening depressive symptoms. Studies show that elevated mitochondrial DNA levels in the blood are tied to stress responses and treatment-resistant depression. This growing evidence suggests mitochondria may be a key factor connecting stress, inflammation, and mood, offering new insights into understanding and treating depression.

Mitochondria and Me

Mitochondria, the “powerhouses of the cell,” are essential for energy, brain health, and longevity. When they malfunction, they contribute to stress, aging, and chronic illness. This blog explores how mitochondria work, what happens when they break down, and practical ways to protect them—through diet, exercise, sleep, fasting, and toxin reduction. By caring for these tiny engines of life, we can boost energy, support resilience, and build a stronger foundation for lifelong health.
