She had a stroke in 1985.

Doctors told her this was “as good as it gets.”

For decades she lived with pain, mobility limitations, and nominal aphasia; knowing what she wanted to say, but struggling to retrieve the words. 🧠

Today?

✨ Her pain is almost gone
🚶‍♀️ Her mobility has improved
🧠 We’re now focusing on cognitive recovery
📖 And she just read her first book in 40 years

Forty. Years.

That smile says everything. 😊

At Saint George Clinic & Research Institute!

🧠✨ Your Gut Can Boost Your Mood (Seriously)

Your gut bacteria can help you make more **serotonin** the “feel-good” chemical in your brain.

One of their secret weapons?

👉 **Butyrate** (a gut-made compound that supports mood, brain, and gut health)

💡 Why butyrate is a big deal

It helps your body:

* Turn **tryptophan → serotonin** (instead of stress pathways)

* Support **calmer mood & clearer thinking**

* Strengthen your **gut lining**

* Reduce **inflammation**

Low butyrate = more stress chemistry, less feel good chemistry 😵‍💫

🥗 Want more butyrate? Feed your gut!

Your gut makes it when you eat **fiber rich foods**, like:

🍌 Green bananas
🥔 Cooked-then-cooled potatoes
🥣 Oats
🫘 Beans & lentils
🧄 Garlic, onions, leeks
🍎 Apples & berries

🧈 Fun fact: Butter has a little butyrate; but **fiber is the real MVP**.

✨ Simple takeaway

**Feed your gut fiber → make more butyrate → support mood & brain health.**

Save this for your next grocery run 🛒

✨ Neuroplasticity + Acupuncture✨

Neuroplasticity = the brain’s ability to rewire, heal, and grow.
And it thrives in love, not hate. 💙

Acupuncture helps create the right conditions for change:
🧠 Calms the nervous system
🌿 Lowers stress + inflammation
💤 Improves sleep & recovery
💫 Supports emotional balance

📚 Research shows acupuncture can:
🔹 Shift motor cortex excitability (Yang et al., 2017, PubMed)
🔹 Promote neurogenesis & synaptogenesis (Qin et al., 2022, PubMed)
🔹 Reorganize brain networks for recovery (Zhang et al., 2021, PubMed)

When the body feels safe → the brain can rewire.
When we choose connection & compassion → healing pathways open.

🌸 Love is medicine.
🌸 Acupuncture helps the brain remember it.

Repetition rewires your brain. 🧠✨
Neuroplasticity doesn’t know good from bad — it simply strengthens whatever you repeat.

That’s why habits, thoughts, and even pain cycles can get “stuck.”
Acupuncture helps break those loops and create new, healthier patterns for your body and mind. 🌿💫

👉 Control what you repeat.
