Arna Devcich Naturopath

is it the chicken or the egg?

as a naturopath, I am constantly thinking in my head what is the cause? the answer? most of the time there are a lot of answers.

Swipe and you will see the basic cycle of sleep and gut health..

This is an example of many people out there. Is it your sleep hygiene or your gut health or circadian rhythm misalignment or nervous system dysregulation?

Research shows phyla Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes were positively correlated with sleep efficiency by increasing (GABA), a neurotransmitter that promotes sleep. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0222394

This is to highlight the body is one whole cycle! We have the power to break and change that current cycle. Create a new one, a healthier one.

Is it a diet change? phone use stopping at 9pm? meditation right before bed? herbal tinctures?

Happy Easter and long weekend lovelies ❤️I am using this weekend to do just not a lot - rest, reading, be in nature, surrounded by the people that bring me joy.

I was reading this goodie to re gig the brain on the foundations for our health: vitamins and minerals

This is something I recently learned and I wanted to share with you.

Yes migraines can be triggered by tyramine foods (aged cheese, beer).

However, there is more to the case when there is symptoms associated with the digestive track.

A stool test for someone presenting with migraines can show:
High tyramine production
High bad bacteria = damaging digestive lining ->
High DNA in stool = inflammation

Inflamed gut = leaky gut = inflamed body = migraine
