Guess where I am right now?!

If you guessed Brazil — you’re right!

I’m here visiting family with my mom, and I couldn’t be more excited.

As some of you know, I was born in Brazil, and all of my extended family still lives here, so it’s always such a joy to reconnect, catch up, and practice my Portuguese!

Of course, I packed my favorite health travel essentials: my 99% blue-blocking glasses and eye mask for better sleep, magnesium and vitamin C to stay regular and energized, a little silver for immune support, and even a few plug-in night lights (just in case our bed and breakfast has less-than-ideal lighting 😉).

I’m soaking up the sunshine, delicious food, beautiful nature, and long conversations that always nourish the soul.

Taking a break from the darker days of winter with a bit of sunshine is one of my favorite mental health strategies when I can make it happen.

Wishing you a bright and cozy November wherever you are 🌞🍂

Feeling tired, pale, or foggy—even though you’re eating enough iron?

You might be dealing with anemia of inflammation.
In this podcast episode of The Wild Wisdom Show, I explain how inflammation can trap iron inside your body, blocking its use for making red blood cells.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why inflammation raises a hormone called hepcidin that blocks iron absorption
✅ Why ferritin levels can look “normal” even when iron is low
✅ The most common symptoms of anemia of inflammation
✅ Natural, root-cause strategies to calm inflammation and restore your body’s ability to use iron effectively

🌿 Reclaim your energy and learn how to truly unlock your iron.

When your immune system can no longer tell friend from foe, it turns its defenses inward—triggering chronic inflammation that damages your own tissues.

In this podcast episode of the Wild Wisdom Show with Dr.Patricia Mills, MD, I explain how inflammation fuels autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis—and how lifestyle factors such as stress, diet, and environmental toxins can fan the flames.

🌿 You’ll also learn practical, science-backed strategies to cool the fire!

Because understanding inflammation isn’t just about disease—it’s about empowering your body to heal from within. 💫

👉If you’ve ever been told you need to take an iron supplement, you might already know that many types can cause uncomfortable side effects—nausea, constipation, or dark stools, just to name a few.

That’s where iron bisglycinate comes in. It’s a type of iron that’s easier on your stomach and better absorbed by your body.
Taking iron supplements every day? You might be doing it wrong! Learn the right approach in my video HERE.

You can find great quality iron bisglycinate supplements in my easy-to-access Fullscript protocol.

Anti-inflammatory pain medications like ibuprofen and naproxen can really harm your gut health. They are known to cause ulcers, bleeding and scarring within the gut, not to mention significant harm to your gut microbiome, and can even cause a leaky gut!

Since your gut health and your gut microbiome are key to your whole-body health, swapping these over the counter medications with gut safe supplements is an important step to achieving your best health.

Boswellia and turmeric when taken together have been proven in studies to have similar effects on pain as anti-inflammatory medications WITHOUT the gut damage.

Boswellia is extracted from a tree native to India and was originally used in Ayurveda medicine. Turmeric has also been used for centuries for its anti-inflammatory properties. When taken together they have been proven by modern science to be really effective in treating acute (e.g. menstrual period pain) and chronic (e.g. osteoarthritis, migraine, lower back) inflammatory pain!

Take Home Message:

Consider adding boswellia and turmeric to your toolbox if you find yourself occasionally or frequently needing to take anti-inflammatory medications for pain. Refer to this video for how to take these two supplements together.

I’ve been exploring different routines on YouTube, and I’m amazed by how quickly I can feel the effects.
😉Just a few minutes brings a boost in circulation and that fresh, rejuvenated feeling.

It’s become my favorite way to wind down in the evening—so much better than mindlessly binging Netflix.

I’ve even noticed I’m sleeping better, and funny enough, it feels easier to smile during the day once those tight facial muscles let go.

🖐️Have you tried face yoga yet?

❓I’d love to know who your favorite teacher or routine is!

💤Deep sleep has been shown to reduce the risk of loss of memory from Alzheimer's Disease and dementia, and reduce all-cause mortality (death from ANY cause) by 40%!

Besides a healthy bedtime routine, there are supplements that have been shown to support quality sleep. 

Medications on the other hand often get you to fall asleep, however do not support the normal phases of sleep, including the rejuvenating non-REM phase of deep sleep. So you could be asleep but not repairing and healing! 

Here is a list of supplements that will help you fall into and stay in a healthy sleep mode.

☑️ Magnesium L-Threonate is the kind of magnesium that is best absorbed into the brain and helps it calm down for sleep.
☑️ L-Theanine is a calming amino acid found in green tea with calming effects that also helps the brain prepare for sleep.
☑️ Valerian root has been shown in studies to be safe and effective for insomnia, especially when combined with other herbal formulations like passionflower.

These can all be taken together, on their own or in combination. 

Be a scientist and see what works best for you! If these are not effective enough check out the Melatonin Protocol. I try to keep melatonin as a last resort, since it is a hormone and can be harmful if used in excess or incorrectly!
