Around 80% of people are deficient in magnesium today due to poor soil quality, processed foods, chronic stress, and high caffeine intake.

The modern human spends most of life stressed, depleted, and disconnected from the earth. The ocean fixes all three in minutes.

When you immerse yourself in the ocean, magnesium is absorbed directly through your skin. This bypasses digestion (where many people struggle to absorb enough from food or pills) and goes straight into your cells, relaxing muscles, calming the nervous system, and lowering inflammation.

You’re also grounding when in the ocean, which is literally recharging your body. The ocean isn’t just water, it’s a conductive, mineral-rich connection to the earth’s electrical field. When your skin is in contact with seawater, you absorb free electrons from the earth that neutralize excess free radicals in the body. The result?
Reduced inflammation, balanced cortisol levels, and improved sleep quality.

It’s also nervous system therapy. Magnesium in the ocean helps regulate GABA, the neurotransmitter that tells your brain to relax. Combine that with grounding’s effect on your stress response, and you’re literally pulling your body out of fight-or-flight mode and into rest-and-digest. That’s why a beach day leaves you feeling calm, clear, and happy in a way nothing else can match.

I’m here to help as many humans as I can become the happiest, healthiest version of themselves. If you’re looking for a 1:1 guide to health & longevity, meet with me & I’ll help you get back to the basics to look & feel your best.🫶🏼

story time: how I almost had my throat slit open working at a psych hospital 🫠🩸

we are living in the most health conscious generation yet our life expectancy, chronic disease, & healthcare spending all trend in the wrong direction.

healthcare makes up nearly a fifth of our GDP, yet between insurance, big pharma & big food, the incentives reward managing symptoms, not restoring health.
it’s so complex that even those of us inside it struggle to navigate it. the system keeps us sick enough to keep coming back, but stable enough to keep living. and when people lose that stability, they end up in hospitals & psych units that feel more like holding cells than places of healing.
if you’ve worked inpatient psych, you know.

western medicine has its time & place. but a true healer’s goal is to educate you & give you the tools to heal yourself, so you no longer need them.

through my years of experience I have come to understand how love is the strongest form of medicine which is why I lead my life & practice with it.

♥️,

quick PSA on electrolytes & hydration

electrolytes are so fundamental & powerful but that does not mean more is better. your body requires the right ratio.

the big three:
#sodium is essential for blood/ fluid balance, consciousness, nerve function, etc.
#potassium is essential for cardiac electrical activity, muscle contraction, fluid balance, etc.
#magnesium is essential for muscle relaxation, nerve function, sleep, etc. by @elevatedwellness_

Low-frequency rhythms of ocean waves can slow your heart rate and activate the parasympathetic nervous system, signaling deep safety to the body.
At times, nothing resets the nervous system more gently than the ancient lullaby of the sea. by @elevatedwellness_

Romanticism (noun):
a philosophical movement that values deep emotional connections, self-expression, and the unique path of the individual.

According to psychologists like Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow, romanticizing life can be beneficial, fostering self-actualization, personal growth, and mental well-being.

Romanticizing life involves appreciating the present moment, finding joy in everyday experiences, and creating meaningful connections. This mindset can help reduce stress and boost self-confidence. By focusing on the beauty and significance of life’s experiences, we can cultivate a more optimistic outlook and our their mental health.

Key aspects of romanticizing life include:
• Emotional emphasis: Valuing emotions and intuition as essential tools for personal growth and connection.
• Individuality: Embracing one’s unique experiences and perspectives.
• Self-expression: Authentic self-expression and personal growth.

By adopting this mindset, we can lead more fulfilling lives. 😌🤍 by @elevatedwellness_

The body doesn’t just need nutrients.
It needs natural light. ☀️🌿

Infrared light is part of the sunlight spectrum and has been studied for its role in:
• supporting mitochondrial function
• circulation and recovery
• lowering inflammation
• nervous system regulation
• skin health and collagen production
• mood and overall energy

When sunlight hits living trees and plants, you’re immersed in the same natural environment humans evolved alongside for thousands of years.

Nature isn’t just visually calming. It’s physiologically regulating.

Grounding, fresh air, movement, sunlight, green space — these are foundational inputs for human health that modern life often disconnects us from.

Sometimes healing looks less like “doing more” and more like returning to what’s natural.

Meet with me to reconnect & learn what nature has always been providing for us. 😌

A peptide won’t override chronic stress. A clean diet won’t compensate for poor sleep. A workout routine won’t carry a dysregulated nervous system.

Functional medicine has one core principle: treat the whole person, not the symptom. The same applies to how you take care of your health & body.

The research is clear, health outcomes are driven by the interaction of your habits, not any single one in isolation. It’s all connected, that’s why it’s a lifestyle.

As a Holistic Health Practitioner, that’s what I do, help you build a lifestyle that actually works for your biology.

What even is a PEPTIDE?

Peptides are naturally occurring short chains of amino acids, the building blocks for proteins. Your body makes them, uses them, and depends on them for basically everything: tissue repair, immune function, hormone regulation, muscle building, enzyme production… the list goes on.

There are hundreds of peptides, each with their own unique benefits and side effects. Some, like GLP peptides, have been studied and used clinically since the 1980s. Others are still early in human research.
Which is exactly why who you’re getting your information from matters.

I’m Lyssa, a Holistic Health Practitioner with degrees, education, & over 10 years of experience in Dietetics, Nursing, & Developmental Psychology.

My whole philosophy is simple: everything we need as humans comes from the earth. But as technology advances, so does our understanding of how to optimize it.

I’m here to keep you informed on the latest research in health and longevity.

If you are looking to understand how peptides work, book a peptide consultation call with me. I am here to share my brain with you! 🧠

Our first line of medicine should always be:
• nature 🌿🌞🌊🏔️🏜️
• anti-inflammatory whole foods 🍯🫐🦪🥥🥩🥑🧀
• daily movement you enjoy⛷️🧘🏽‍♀️🩰🤸🏻‍♀️
• quality sleep 😴
• our community 🤗👯‍♀️👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏾

80% of chronic disease is driven by lifestyle, yet our first response is almost always a pill.

None of this is “alternative.” It’s foundational. And it’s what gets skipped in a 7-minute office visit.

I’m Lyssa, a Holistic Health Practitioner and this page exists to give you the education your PCP didn’t have time for.

If you’re looking to elevate your health & lifestyle to look & feel your best inside & out, meet with me! It’s my mission to help as many humans as I can become the happiest healthiest version of themselves.
