Think you’re being “healthy” in the morning?

These 3 habits might be secretly wrecking your cortisol curve, circadian rhythm, and metabolic health:

1. Scrolling before sunrise
Your brain needs natural light in the morning to anchor your circadian rhythm. Reaching for your phone floods your eyes with artificial blue light and confuses your internal clock.

2. High-intensity exercise first thing:
Pushing your body with fasted HIIT before light exposure or food spikes cortisol and signals stress, not strength—especially if your system’s already inflamed or fatigued.

3. Caffeine before protein:
That coffee on an empty stomach? It elevates cortisol, destabilizes blood sugar, and sets you up for an energy crash. Protein first helps anchor your nervous system and support hormone balance.

Small changes to your morning = huge wins for your hormones, metabolism, and mood.
You don’t need a new routine—just a more aligned one.

It always does - and probably always will - surprise me when someone calls me an “expert.”
Because the deeper I go, the more I realize how much I don’t know.

Staying curious. Staying humble.
Holding on to a beginner’s mind—because that’s where growth lives.

There will always be more we don’t know than we do. But that’s the best part ✨

Your phone runs on 900 MHz. So did the radiation in this 2015 study… and the results were terrifying.

Researchers exposed rats to 900 MHz EMF — just 1 hour a day for 28 days.
What happened?
- Blood-brain barrier permeability increased
- MKP-1 and ERK pathway activated (markers of neuroinflammation)
- Spatial memory was impaired
- Histology confirmed structural damage to brain tissue

And this was in just 4 weeks.

Here’s the cutest part: iPhones and other smart devices aren’t tested for long-term biological effects. They’re tested for SAR limits — how much radiation is absorbed, not what it actually does to your brain.

So yes, your iPhone is “within legal limits.”
But what if those limits are woefully outdated?

If 1 hour a day did this to rats…
What is 8+ hours a day doing to us?

still want to talk on the phone with it next to your ear?

No shade to wearable tech — if y’all understand the potential health impacts and still use it, amazing — but I didn’t realize how much it was interfering with my biology until I took it off.

When I stopped tracking everything…
My nervous system calmed down.
My sleep improved.
And my hormones finally caught up.

More data isn’t always better.

No regrets.

“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.” - Albert Einstein

Miss you all the time 💛

Let’s talk about a missing piece in many fertility conversations: the impact of non-native EMFs (electromagnetic fields) on reproductive health — specifically on egg and sperm quality, hormonal balance, and mitochondrial function.

When we think of fertility challenges, we often zoom in on hormones or cycles. But mitochondria — the energy centers inside every cell — play a crucial role in conception, ovulation, sperm motility, and early embryo development.

And mitochondria are extremely sensitive to EMFs, especially the kind emitted by modern tech devices like smartwatches, fitness trackers, cell phones, and Bluetooth earbuds.

– EMFs can lead to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, impacting both egg and sperm quality
– They may disrupt melatonin production — a key antioxidant in reproductive tissues and a powerful protector of mitochondrial DNA
– Chronic exposure has been linked to hormonal dysregulation, including changes in LH, FSH, estrogen, and testosterone
– EMFs have even been shown to impact gonadal function, follicular development, and sperm morphology in experimental studies

Now imagine the average person trying to conceive: wearing a fitness tracker 24/7, sleeping with their phone by the bed, and living under constant Wi-Fi exposure.

It’s not about fear — it’s about biological interference.

You don’t have to eliminate every EMF source, but you can make intentional changes to reduce exposure — especially during key windows of hormonal and reproductive repair, like sleep and preconception months.

Start by:
– Taking wearables off at night or switching to airplane mode
– Keeping your phone out of pockets or off your body
– Prioritizing natural light, circadian rhythm alignment, and tech-free time

What if your tech is making you sicker, not smarter?
We’ve mistaken convenience for wellness.
We track our steps, our sleep, our macros...
So much wearable tech devices but are they actually helpful?
But we ignore the invisible stressors harming our health daily — like non-native EMFs, artificial light, and constant stimulation.

Modern tools weren’t designed for ancient bodies.
And it’s showing up as hormone disruption, poor sleep, metabolic dysfunction, and fertility struggles.

Wellness isn’t in your watch — it’s in your biology.

True health isn’t something you download. It’s something you remember.

It starts with reconnecting to light, nature, and rhythm.

☀️ Want to reclaim your biology in a tech-saturated world? Start with less screen time, more sunrise, and questioning the “smart” devices in your life.

When we think about blood sugar balance, weight gain, or insulin resistance, we often zoom in on nutrition, exercise, and hormones.

But there’s another, often-overlooked variable in metabolic health: non-native EMFs — the artificial electromagnetic fields emitted by our phones, smartwatches, Bluetooth earbuds, and Wi-Fi networks.

Unlike natural EMFs from sunlight or the Earth’s magnetic field, these man-made frequencies are pulsed, chronic, and biologically disruptive — especially when they’re close to the body for long periods of time.

Emerging research suggests that nnEMFs may:
– Elevate fasting blood glucose
– Disrupt insulin signaling pathways
– Impair mitochondrial energy production (ATP)
– Interfere with leptin and ghrelin, the hormones that regulate hunger and metabolism
– Suppress melatonin, which plays a key role in insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism

The result? A silent burden on your metabolism — and an increased risk for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and chronic inflammation.

This is especially important at night, when EMFs can interfere with melatonin production and mitochondrial repair — both of which are critical for metabolic resilience.
If you’re navigating prediabetes, PCOS, insulin resistance, or unexplained weight gain, your tech exposure could be an overlooked part of the picture.

The good news: you don’t need to live in fear of your devices — just build better boundaries.

Start by: – Taking wearables off at night or using airplane mode
– Turning off Wi-Fi while you sleep
– Keeping phones out of pockets and off your body
– Prioritizing natural circadian cues: sunlight, movement, and darkness
Your metabolism isn’t just responding to what you eat — it’s responding to your environment.

If you’re wearing a smartwatch, sleeping next to your phone, or relying on Bluetooth headphones daily, it’s time to understand what non-native EMFs are — and why they matter, especially for hormone health and fertility.

Non-native EMFs (or nnEMFs) are artificial electromagnetic fields emitted from manmade sources like cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, smartwatches, fitness trackers, Bluetooth devices, and more. These are not the same as the natural EMFs we’ve evolved with — like the Earth’s magnetic field or the full-spectrum light from the sun.

The problem? These artificial frequencies are constant, pulsed, and close to our bodies — and over time, they’ve been shown to interfere with how our mitochondria function, disrupt melatonin production, impair sleep architecture, and dysregulate the hormonal signals involved in reproduction.

Most notably, nnEMFs have been linked to:
– Reduced sperm motility and DNA integrity
– Disrupted ovulatory cycles and egg quality
– Suppressed melatonin (critical for fertility and mitochondrial protection)
– Altered production of reproductive hormones like LH, FSH, estrogen, and testosterone

This post is not about fear — it’s about awareness and informed choice.

Understanding where nnEMFs come from and how they interact with the body is the first step toward creating a healthier environment for your hormones, fertility, and long-term health.

Mornings set the foundation for hormone balance, metabolism, and energy. Instead of starting my day with screens or stress, I follow a circadian-aligned routine that optimizes leptin sensitivity, mitochondrial function, and nervous system regulation

Meditation & Red Light Therapy: Before anything else, I meditate and use red light therapy || shoutout @soleilwell || to calm my nervous system and support mitochondrial health.

30–50g Protein Within 30–60 Minutes of Waking (Yes, Before Coffee): Food timing is critical for hormone regulation. Within 30–60 minutes of waking, I eat a protein-rich breakfast (30–50g) with healthy fats to stabilize blood sugar, reduce cravings, and support metabolism. Coffee waits until after breakfast to prevent unnecessary cortisol spikes.

Sunrise Exposure & Light Movement: I step outside within 30 minutes of waking (ideally) to watch the sunrise—no sunglasses, no windows, just direct natural light. This anchors my circadian rhythm, boosts dopamine, and supports leptin sensitivity. Watching through glass does not count.

I pair this with gentle movement like a short walk with my boys to enhance mitochondrial function.

Grounding: I take time to ground—simply standing outside. Connecting to the Earth helps regulate my nervous system, reduce inflammation, and support mitochondrial health.

Aligning mornings with circadian biology is one of the most effective ways to improve energy, metabolism, and overall resilience. The body thrives when it works with nature, not against it.

What does your morning routine look like? I’d love to hear what works for you.

I took my daughter ice skating for the first time today—something that was my world growing up. If there’s one thing skating teaches you, it’s that you have to learn to fall before you can go fast.

“Fall seven times, stand up eight.” — Japanese Proverb

The more you fall, the more you grow, and the stronger you get each time you get back up. Whether on the ice or in life, falling isn’t failing—it’s just part of the process.

Hey girl, a drink isn’t going to heal your cortisol issues… but the sun will☀️

Your body craves light, especially first thing in the morning. When you step outside and let natural sunlight hit your eyes (without sunglasses!), you’re sending a powerful signal to your brain to regulate cortisol, boost energy, and set the stage for better sleep later. The problem? Most of us start our day with artificial light, which keeps us stuck in a cycle of fatigue, stress, and hormone imbalance.

Instead of reaching for that glass of wine (or extra coffee) to take the edge off, try this: get outside within 30 minutes of waking up, even if it’s cloudy. Soak in the natural light, move your body, and let your circadian biology do the work. This simple habit can transform your stress response, mood, and overall health—no fancy supplements or quick fixes required. Nature already built the solution; you just have to step into it.

Bottom line - get outside and seek the sun as much as possible 🫶🏼✨☀️

Did you know that sunlight plays a direct role in cholesterol metabolism? Getting the right amount of sun exposure doesn’t just boost vitamin D—it also helps regulate and optimize cholesterol levels.

Here’s how:

Cholesterol is a Precursor to Vitamin D – When UVB rays from the sun hit your skin, they convert cholesterol (7-dehydrocholesterol) into vitamin D3. This natural process lowers excess cholesterol levels while supporting immune function, bone health, and hormone balance.

Balances LDL & HDL – Research suggests that regular sun exposure helps improve lipid profiles by reducing LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and increasing HDL (“good” cholesterol). This supports cardiovascular health and reduces the risk of plaque buildup.

Supports Mitochondrial & Metabolic Health – Sunlight exposure stimulates nitric oxide release, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports mitochondrial function, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation that contribute to cholesterol imbalances.

Regulates Hormones & Stress Response – Natural light exposure, especially in the morning, helps regulate cortisol levels. Lower stress hormones mean less internal inflammation, which supports healthy cholesterol metabolism.

How to Optimize Sunlight for Cholesterol Balance
☀️ Get morning & solar noon sun – This helps set circadian rhythms and maximizes vitamin D production.

☀️ Expose more skin – The more surface area exposed, the better the conversion of cholesterol to vitamin D.

☀️Pair it with movement – A walk outside increases circulation, nitric oxide release, and overall metabolic health.

The sun isn’t just one thing—it’s THE thing.

The more I research, the more I realize that our light diet—the type, timing, and quality of light we’re exposed to—affects everything: metabolism, hormones, mental health, inflammation, and even how we process food and supplements.

We’ve been conditioned to focus on diet, exercise, and supplements (which all matter!), but without the right light exposure, we’re missing the foundation. Morning sunlight, midday UV, and limiting artificial light at night aren’t just “nice to have”—they’re biological necessities.

I truly believe sunlight is medicine, and it’s time we start treating it that way ☀️

🍅 I had a bunch of leftover tomatoes (frozen) from my garden last year and got the idea of making pizza sauce! It turned out amazing - and so easy!! It is a delicious, rich pizza sauce with just a few simple steps! 🍕 🍅

Ingredients:
- 4-5 large ripe tomatoes, chopped (or about 2 lbs)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (of course I’m hiding @kyoord hiphenolic olive oil)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil (or 1 tbsp fresh)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional for flavor)

Instructions:
1. Cook the sauce: Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped tomatoes and all seasonings. Stir well.

2. Simmer & reduce: Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. As it cooks, the tomatoes will break down and thicken. You can mash them with a spoon or use an immersion blender for a smoother sauce.

3. Taste & adjust: Add more salt, herbs, or balsamic vinegar as needed. If it’s too acidic, a pinch of baking soda or a drizzle of honey can help balance the flavors.

4. Use immediately or store: Let it cool slightly before using. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.

This fresh, homemade pizza sauce is packed with flavor and free from additives—perfect for a clean, healthy pizza night! Currently cannot stop making sourdough discard stove top pizzas 🤤

I asked chat gpt - “Be my BFF and no filter tell me who I am ”
I’ll be honest, I like the answers.

I don’t fit neatly into a box—not traditional, not fully functional, just whatever actually works. I’ve been in neurosurgery and trauma, I’ve seen the limits of the system, and I’ve built something better. I don’t just treat symptoms—I dig, question, and challenge everything to find the root cause.

I walk my talk. I optimize light, prioritize real healing, and never stop learning because my patients deserve better. If it works, I use it—homeopathy, circadian biology, or something that doesn’t have a label yet.

I push boundaries. I question the norm. I care deeply. And I’m just getting started.

Would love to hear—if AI described you, what do you think it would say?

So I was really wanting something sweet in my morning coffee - so the idea of marshmallows came to me! Here’s a simple homemade healthy marshmallow recipe made without corn syrup or artificial ingredients! These marshmallows are naturally sweetened and perfect for snacking, s’mores, #or adding to your favorite drinks.

Ingredients:
- 1 cup water (divided)
- 3 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin
- 1 cup honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions:
1. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add ½ cup water and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining ½ cup water, honey (or maple syrup), and salt over medium heat. Stir occasionally and bring to a gentle boil (240°F if using a thermometer).
4. Slowly pour the hot syrup into the bloomed gelatin while whipping with a hand mixer or stand mixer on low. Increase speed to high and whip for 6-10 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and fluffy.
5. Add vanilla extract and mix for another 30 seconds.
6. Quickly transfer the mixture to the lined pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Let it sit at room temperature for 4-6 hours (or in the fridge for a faster set).
8. Once firm, lift from the pan and cut into squares. For a classic look, dust with arrowroot powder or coconut flour to prevent sticking.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to a week at room temperature or store in the fridge for a firmer texture.

Enjoy these soft, fluffy, naturally sweetened marshmallows as a healthier treat! I’ve been addint them to my coffee in the mornning but next I’m 100% making rice crisy treats!

A little GTKM ✨

1️⃣ I’m a Family Nurse Practitioner, the owner and sole practitioner of Green Medicine of Wisconsin. My passion is helping people heal by addressing the root cause of their health issues.

2️⃣ My specialty is Lyme disease, but I have an addiction to learning and helping patients. I never limit care or treatment based on a diagnosis—if something works, I use it. (I was bit by a tick and diagnosed with LD at the age of 7)

3️⃣ I don’t fit into the traditional or functional medicine boxes. In fact I’ve divorced the term “functional”. I take the best of both worlds and focus on what actually helps my patients feel better.

4️⃣ I walk my talk. Everything I recommend—whether it’s grounding, circadian health, or homeopathy—I practice in my own life every single day.

5️⃣ Homeopathy has been a game-changer in my practice. Weaving it into patient care has been amazing, and I love seeing the results! (Ask me about the GMW homeopathic first aid kits 😉)

6️⃣ Circadian health is THE foundation. Light, sleep, and natural rhythms play a huge role in hormone balance, energy, and overall wellness.

7️⃣ Food is medicine, but balance matters. I believe in nutrient-dense foods, but I also love homemade sourdough and a good cup of coffee. Life (and food) is meant to be enjoyed.

8️⃣ Morning sunlight is my non-negotiable. It’s one of the easiest and most powerful ways to support hormones and metabolism.

9️⃣ I worked in neurosurgery and trauma inpatient at UW Madison for 10 years. That experience shaped how I approach medicine today—balancing traditional and holistic care.

Comment with another Q’s 🫶🏼
 Now it’s your turn—what’s one fun fact about you? Drop it below!

#gettoknowme #gmofwi #greenmedicineofwi #greenmedicine #walkyourtalk #lymedisease #thefusionfnp

How Does Grounding Affect Your Blood Cells?

Non-native EMFs can increase the body’s voltage and disrupt its natural electrical balance, impacting overall health. Grounding helps restore electrical stability by lowering body voltage and improving circulation.

This video shows Dr. Cimone testing blood flow before and after grounding. Pre-grounding, red blood cells are stacked together, reducing their ability to circulate efficiently. After just 10 minutes of grounding, the red blood cells separate and move more freely, improving oxygen delivery and overall blood flow.

Better circulation means better oxygenation, reduced clotting risk, and improved energy levels. Grounding isn’t just about feeling good—it has a real, measurable impact on your body at a cellular level.

Have you experienced the benefits of grounding? Let me know below!

One of the most valuable pieces of advice I’ve ever received was: “Don’t do the test if you’re not going to do anything differently with that information.”

In integrative and functional medicine, it’s easy to fall into the trap of running every lab possible just to gather data. But !! testing should always have a purpose!! If we’re not prepared to act on the results—whether that means adjusting lifestyle habits, supplement protocols, or deeper interventions—then the test itself isn’t serving you.

This advice has shaped the way I approach patient care. Every lab I order is with the intention of taking meaningful action, helping patients make real changes that move them toward better health. It’s not about just collecting numbers—it’s about using data to create a strategy that leads to real results.

Have you ever had a test done and felt like nothing came of it? Let’s change that. If we test, we take action.

☀️ Daylight saving time can disrupt your body’s natural rhythms, but you can ease the transition by supporting your circadian biology:

Catch the sunrise – Morning light helps reset your internal clock.

Get outside – Natural light exposure keeps your circadian rhythm in sync.

Shift your sleep – Go to bed 15 minutes earlier each night leading up to DST.

Stay hydrated & manage stress – Balanced cortisol supports a smoother adjustment.

Use the MyCircadian App – The Lux Meter helps optimize light exposure for better sleep and energy.

Dim lights at night – Warm, low lighting supports melatonin production.

Wear blue blockers – Blocking artificial light in the evening helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle.

Prioritizing light exposure and circadian health will help your body adapt more smoothly.

✈️ My Go-To Travel Essential: GMW Homeopathic First Aid Kit!

I will never travel without my Green Medicine of Wisconsin Homeopathic First Aid Kit again! It saved the day multiple times on our recent vacation. Here’s are the remedies I used during our week long getaway and why:

Nux Vomica – After a little too much indulging (hello, vacation treats! 🍹🍕) and struggling to sleep in a new environment, this remedy was a lifesaver. It helped with digestion and reset my system so I could enjoy the trip without discomfort.

Arnica & Hypericum – My father-in-law injured his ankle during an intense pickleball match 🏓 I started him on these remedies, and within 24 hours, he was back to normal movement! The power of homeopathy never ceases to amaze me.

Apis – A bee sting on the beach could have ruined my day, but Apis took care of the swelling, redness, and stinging pain immedately 🐝

Aconite, Belladonna, Hepar Sulph, Ledum, & Staphysagria – An accidental injury (yes, it required liquid stitches 😬 🩹) needed more than just first aid. These remedies covered everything from shock and trauma to infection prevention, pain relief, and faster healing.

This kit is my #1 travel must-have, and I won’t leave home without it. Have you ever used homeopathy on vacation? Let me know in the comments!

☀️ Sunlight is an essential nutrient.

It supports glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity. This makes you more metabolicly felxible - meaning you can more efficiently switch between using carbs and fats for fule.

Eating outdoors during the day helps align your body’s natural rhythms, lowers stress hormones that spike blood sugar, and even boosts metabolic flexibility (especially in cooler temps!). Here’s why:

☀️ Sunlight improves insulin sensitivity – Natural light helps regulate your circadian rhythms, making your body more efficient at processing glucose.

☀️ Lower stress = better blood sugar – Eating in a relaxed outdoor setting can reduce cortisol, which is known to cause glucose spikes.

☀️ Cooler temps boost metabolic flexibility – Mild cold exposure can activate brown fat, encouraging your body to burn glucose and fat more efficiently. So if its cool outside that is an added bonus.

☀️ Vitamin D supports metabolism – Sunlight helps your body produce vitamin D, which plays a key role in insulin function and energy regulation.

So next time you eat, take it outside and let nature do some of the work for you!

DR. GREEN

Collaborating Physician & Medical Director

Dr. Green began his medical career in 1980 as chief of microbiology, immunology and virology in an 800 bed Midwestern hospital. He then completed medical school at the University of Iowa and followed with a residency in family practice. Family practice was chosen because it deals with the “whole individual.”

Dr. Green became disillusioned with corporate medicine and it’s emphasis on treating disease rather than promoting healthy lifestyles. A desire to find a better way to further education resulted in board certification in not only Family Practice but Integrative & Holistic Medicine, and Antiaging & Functional Medicine. He is also trained in medical acupuncture and is a Reiki Master. Dr. Green is a Lyme literate physician and a member of ILADS. He has helped many people suffering from Lyme disease regain an active, productive lifestyle. Dr. Green served in the United States Air Force for nine years and is proud to be a veteran.

Dr. Green is no longer seeing patients in clinic, however continues to serve as medical director and collaborating physician.

Susan

Registered Nurse
Management Team

Her blended experiences are unique and provide different insights when working with each patient’s individual needs. Teaching clients/patients how to maintain a healthier, more balanced body has been a privilege and blessing. Trust is earned, not an assumption. Our bodies change throughout the years and learning how to work through some of those challenging hurdles is more successful with a team of knowledgeable professionals who truly care.
