The Wellness Lounge

We’re growing our team of incredible nurses at The Wellness Lounge! As we continue to expand, we have some exciting things on the horizon, and we’re looking for nurses who are passionate about building relationships with their patients, continuing to learn, and being part of a different approach to health and wellness. We’re excited for what’s ahead and for the people who will help us build it.

We jumped in the bandwagon. Which ones did we miss?

You can meditate, practice breathwork, stimulate your vagus nerve, prioritize sleep, and do all the nervous system work…

But if your body is physiologically depleted, it may still have a very real reason to stay on alert.

Your nervous system doesn’t exist separately from the rest of your body.

It requires oxygen, glucose, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, and ATP to function appropriately.

So when someone feels “tired but wired,” experiences a racing heart, can’t tolerate exercise, struggles to sleep, or feels like their body simply won’t settle, we shouldn’t only ask:

“How do we regulate the nervous system?”

We should also ask:

“What is the nervous system responding to?”

Sometimes sympathetic activation isn’t the original problem.

It’s compensation.

Your body may be working incredibly hard to maintain oxygen delivery, blood pressure, blood glucose, circulation, or cellular energy in the face of an underlying deficiency or physiological stressor.

This doesn’t mean breathwork, meditation, somatic work, movement, or stress reduction aren’t valuable. They absolutely can be.

But nervous system regulation requires resources.

Some hair loss is to be expected. But hair loss can also be amplified by nutrient deficiencies.

Many men start testosterone because they want to feel better.

And for the right person, TRT can be an incredible therapy.

But one conversation is often missing: What are the downstream consequences and how will this affect fertility?

Testosterone replacement doesn’t just increase testosterone. It also tells your brain to reduce the hormones that signal your testicles to produce testosterone and s***m.

That doesn’t mean TRT is “bad.” It means every man deserves informed consent before starting treatment.

If you’re considering TRT, ask two questions:

1. Why is my testosterone low?
2. Do I want children in the future?

Those answers may change your treatment plan.

Save this post for someone who’s considering TRT, and share it with a friend who deserves the full story.
