What Happens When You Actually Lower Inflammation

(Hint: You feel like yourself again.)

Have you ever had that moment when you finally feel good again—and suddenly realize just how bad you'd been feeling?

That was me, during my fifth pregnancy.

It was the first one after our mold detox journey, and for the first time in years, I felt like my body was working with me—not against me.

The puffiness was gone.

My energy held steady throughout the day.

My sleep felt restorative.

My brain was clear.

I could move, eat, rest, and think without dragging. And I don’t say that lightly. As a holistic practitioner, I knew inflammation was a root cause of so many issues—but living on the other side of it?

That changed everything.

How Inflammation Silently Sabotages Your Life

We tend to associate inflammation with something obvious, like swelling or an injury. But chronic, low-grade inflammation shows up more subtly:

You're tired even after a full night's sleep
You crave sugar or caffeine constantly
Your joints feel stiff, even if you're "young"
You gain weight around your middle
You feel puffy, bloated, irritable, or foggy
Your hormones feel off but bloodwork is “normal”

And it doesn’t stop there. Inflammation contributes to everything from autoimmune flare-ups and digestive issues to mood swings and hormone imbalance.

What It Feels Like When Inflammation Comes Down

Now this is the part I want you to really hear:

When your body isn’t fighting fires all day, it finally has space to heal. To restore. To exhale.

And that shows up in the most beautiful ways:

You wake up with a clear mind—and a face that looks like you’ve been on vacation
You eat without bloating or regret
You move through the day with sustained energy (no 2 p.m. crash)
Your clothes fit better without obsessing over them
You feel steady. Capable. Present.

This is what happens when we nourish our body and remove the things that keep it inflamed.

What Helps Lower Inflammation?

You don’t need perfection to see a difference. You need support—layered in with grace and consistency. Here are a few simple places to start.

1. Hydrate Like You Mean It

One of the fastest ways to support your lymphatic system and flush out inflammatory waste? Drink more water.
Aim for 1/2 of your body weight in ounces per day, and consider adding:

A pinch of unrefined mineral salt
A squeeze of lemon or orange
A splash of NingXia Red, which not only hydrates but delivers powerful antioxidants, minerals, and essential oils (like lemon and yuzu!) that support healthy inflammation levels

2. Prioritize Clean Proteins + Colorful Antioxidants

Your body needs protein to repair, balance blood sugar, and stabilize hormones—all of which impact inflammation. Try adding:

Pastured eggs
Wild-caught salmon or sardines
Organic chicken
Lentils or quinoa paired with leafy greens
A daily serving of wolfberries (also found in NingXia Red!), which are one of the highest antioxidant foods on the planet

And don’t forget easy anti-inflammatory add-ins from the grocery store (and keep reading to download the printable!):

Ginger
Turmeric
Blueberries
Cabbage
Olive oil

3. Use Essential Oils That Support the System

Some of my favorite oils for calming inflammation naturally:

Citrus oils like lemon, orange, and grapefruit: support lymph drainage, digestion, and uplift mood
Frankincense: promotes healing, clarity, and reduces systemic inflammation
Copaiba: amplifies other oils and supports pain and swelling
Lavender: calms the nervous system, which helps dial down stress-related inflammation

Want a super simple way to get these oils in daily? NingXia Red includes citrus oils like orange, yuzu, lemon, and tangerine—plus the wolfberries, so you're covering multiple bases in one easy step.

4. Sleep + Rhythm = Healing

Inflammation stays high when the body doesn’t feel safe. And one of the best ways to restore safety is through daily rhythm and restorative sleep.

Get sunlight first thing in the morning
Go to bed at the same time each night
Eat regular meals—especially breakfast
Support the adrenals with minerals, hydration, and protein early in the day

This rhythm is one of the cornerstones of my 14 Day Reset, because it's not just what we eat—it’s how we live that affects inflammation. Ningxia Red is actually clinically proven to improve sleep.

Want Help Putting All This Into Practice?

If you’re reading this and thinking, “That sounds amazing… but I need someone to walk it out with me”—I have a solution for you.

The 14 Day Reset is a real-food, whole-body, simple support plan.

We focus on:

Easy anti-inflammatory meals
Getting enough protein and hydration
Daily NingXia Red
Small rhythms that add up to big change

And we do it together. 💛

Whether you're working through fatigue, stubborn weight, hormone issues, or just want to feel lighter and clearer in your own skin, this is a beautiful place to begin.

Welcome to Living Well Holistics!

I'm Janelle, and I'm here to help guide you into the wellness you've been wanting!

As an educator and researcher in wellness, certified nutrition coach, biofeedback practitioner and holistic consultant, I'm able to curate the information and tools you truly need - nothing more and nothing less.

For over 12 years, I've been educating and helping families find wellness, beginning in my own family and extending into my community and many states across the US.

Living in the information age, where countless articles and ideas are available at our fingertips, wellness has begun to feel overwhelming.

But it doesn't have to be.

My methods are simple and guesswork-free.

In my own home, we've reversed eczema, heart disease, tics, asthma/allergies, adrenal fatigue, and dealt with all of the regular acute things that arise in a home.

I've spent over a decade researching, testing, and learning.

I'm here to bring you the curation of my 12 years of active experience.

I want everyone who works with me to walk away with actionable things they can easily do to get to where they want to go.

I've been able to do that for hundreds of families, but these ways aren't for everyone. They're ancient and modern at the same time; chat with me to see if we are the right fit for what you want.

Let's get to your wellness goals, simply.

Are you ready for wellness that works?

This may be the answer you've been looking for.

Uncover your body's unique blueprint for health!

Get instant insights into your body, including information on your gut health, immune system, organs, glands, and more! Uncover root causes and solutions. Walk away knowing exactly what your body wants, and how to give it just that!

SCHEDULE YOUR SESSION

If your body could talk, what would it say?

"Thank you for today! Everything you said made perfect sense....I can't wait to start feeling like myself again."

"I was definitely open to discover how to help my body, but I didn't understand how impactful it would be for me...Little things that are actually big.

So, thank you."

"Hi Janelle, I'm doing a lot better! I've been [doing my protocol] and on my last period I didn't get any bad cramps!

It was the first time I didn't need to take any painkillers!"

Let's get you feeling your best with a wellness session!

Your body innately knows what it wants, and a wellness session is a painless, non-invasive method to uncover root causes and test, not guess, what your body is saying.

During a wellness session, we will conduct simple scanning and testing services that measure your body's automatic responses, using methods such as bioenergetics and applied kinesiology.

Then we will create a custom program that is specific to you.

You'll walk away empowered and moving forward.

Balance Wellness Scanning

Take a look inside your body.

The Zyto Balance Scan uses FDA-approved GSR technology and is a Class II Medical Device. The scan identifies up to 186+ stressors (e.g., bacteria, viruses, parasites, toxins) affecting your health.

By analyzing impulses from a hand cradle, it generates a 15+ page report with insights into your body’s balance.

Scanning is easy, painless, and provides valuable data for review.

Muscle Response Testing

Find out what your body is saying.

Muscle Response Testing is a non-invasive technique to identify stressors like nutritional deficiencies, toxins, or emotional imbalances.

By observing your body’s response to stimuli, I use various wellness techniques to pinpoint needs, test wellness items, and create a personalized plan.

This holistic approach helps you achieve optimal wellness tailored to your unique needs.

A Holistic Approach

Create a personal protocol + get coaching.

There are many good nutritional supplements and endless healthy foods, but you don’t need them all. During a session, I'll help you choose the things that are right for you.

We will create a custom program based on your goals.

Choosing the right supplements and foods means your investment is more likely to pay off, providing you the benefits you need and saving money on things you don’t need.

If needed and desired, we will follow up with functional labs, additional therapies or coaching sessions.

One session can make your health choices simple.

What is a wellness session like?

Each session, we will complete assessments that are customized to your goals, including Muscle Testing/ Nutrition Response Testing (using gentle touch and testing vials) and Biofeedback Scanning (using a hand cradle).

These assessments uncover root causes in your body!

Based on your results and goals, we will then create a custom program that's as unique as you.

If needed and desired, we can incorporate functional labs and additional services, including Nutrition Coaching.

How long are appointments?

In office appointments are 30-45 minutes per person. Home visits are 60-90 minutes per person.

Can you tell me more about the testing?

The first thing we do is a basic assessment, where we will discuss your current health and uncover current issues and goals.
Then, you will complete a Balance Scan, which uses FDA approved GSR technology and is a Class II Medical Device. To complete, you simply place your hand on the hand cradle / scanner for 5-10 minutes as the program scans your body. It's painless and comfortable. The scan identifies 186+ stressors in the body (Bacteria, Viruses, Parasites, Fungi & Molds, Heavy Metals, Chemicals, Endocrine Disruptors, Water Contaminants, etc. that affect your health and produces a 10+ page report showing valuable insights.
Next, I will interpret your scan results and begin Muscle Testing.
Muscle Testing, sometimes referred to as "nutrition response," "applied kinesiology," "morphogenic field" or "quantum" testing, is a term used to describe the way the body automatically responds to various stimuli. It's easy, gentle and painless. This testing is done by the practitioner acting as the "scanner" so to speak, contacting points of the body with muscles and assessing for response.
Once the scanning and testing is complete, you will know your body's exact coherence (or, preference) for different substances, including but not limited to: Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs, Foods + Wellness Practices. No guesswork!
After your session, you'll be sent any relevant information discussed, personalized resources and next steps. You'll walk away knowing exactly what your body needs and what to do!
If desired, we will plan future work such as emotional release, nutrition coaching, and even functional labs.

I hope to serve you soon!
