HELPFUL DEFINITIONS:
ACE2 Receptors: ACE2 is a protein on the surface of many cell types. It is an enzyme that generates small proteins – by cutting up the larger protein angiotensinogen – that then go on to regulate functions in the cell.
Using the spike-like protein on its surface, the SARS-CoV-2 virus binds to ACE2 – like a key being inserted into a lock – prior to entry and infection of cells. Hence, ACE2 acts as a cellular doorway – a receptor – for the virus that causes COVID-19.
Lumbrokinase: Lumbrokinase is known for its ability to dissolve fibrin, which is a crucial component of blood clots. This ability makes it potentially useful in preventing and treating conditions related to excessive blood clotting.
Nattokinase: Nattokinase is an enzyme that's extracted from natto, a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans. Nattokinase is particularly known for its potential effects on blood circulation and blood clots.
The Krebs Cycle: The Krebs cycle is used by organisms that generate energy via respiration, either anaerobically or aerobically (organisms that ferment use different pathways).
M-Spike Protein: The M-spike, also known as monoclonal protein or paraprotein, is a marker in blood tests that indicates the presence of abnormal plasma cells.
HRV: HRV, or Heart Rate Variability, refers to the variation in time between heartbeats.

Welcome back to the WellFuel Podcast with your host, Isabel Smith!
In today’s quick but impactful episode, Isabel is answering a question we hear all the time: “How do I support my lymphatic system?”
But instead of jumping right to supplements or herbs, Isabel urges you to pause and look deeper. Because more often than not, lymphatic congestion isn’t the root issue; it’s a symptom. And real support starts with understanding what’s going on under the surface.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Common root causes of a sluggish lymphatic system from pelvic floor tightness and liver/gallbladder stress, to toxin overload, histamine imbalances, surgeries, or plain old exhaustion.
Herbs that support lymph flow, like Cleavers Tea, Red Root, and Echinacea, and how to use them safely and effectively (always check with your healthcare provider!)
Gentle detoxifiers like Calendula and Burdock Root help clear stagnation without overloading the system.
Everyday tips for better lymph flow, hydration, minerals, electrolytes, proper elimination (yes, pooping matters!), and minimizing toxins in your clothes and environment. Isabel also shares her personal experiences and favorite go-to products, making this episode both practical and approachable.
Episode Highlights:
Start with the root:
Don’t skip to solutions; underlying causes like scar tissue, surgery, overactive histamine, or exhaustion may be blocking your flow.

Welcome back to The Wellfuel Podcast!
In this episode, Isabel explores the vital topic of hormone balance and how to optimize your nutrition and lifestyle during the phases of your menstrual cycle. She provides detailed insights into what to eat during the menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal phases, highlighting specific foods and nutrients that can aid in reducing inflammation, supporting gut health, and regulating hormones.

Key Takeaways:
Importance of Consistency: Regular eating and sleeping patterns are crucial for maintaining hormone balance. Consistency is more important than perfection.
Circadian Rhythm and Hormones: The circadian rhythm influences hormone release, including cortisol and melatonin. Maintaining regular routines helps regulate these hormones.
Menstrual Cycle Regularity: Establishing a daily rhythm can lead to more regular menstrual cycles. This is particularly important during perimenopause, where irregularities can be made worse by poor routines.
Diet and Menstrual Cycle: Isabel discusses a simplified approach to diet based on the menstrual cycle, dividing it into four phases: menstruation, follicular, ovulation, and luteal.
Nutritional Focus During Menstruation: During the menstruation phase, it's beneficial to replenish iron, magnesium, and vitamin C. Foods rich in these nutrients include leafy greens, legumes, and raw fruits and vegetables.
Exercise and Hormones: Regular exercise timing can positively influence hormone levels by aligning with the body's natural cortisol release patterns.
