I'm the founder of Sylvara Health — a small daily-balance and mindful-living practice based in Boulder, CO. This journal is where I track what grounded balance actually looks like: the pull between drive and stillness, output and restoration — and how I keep coming back to center.
Not a rigid checklist — a short grounding sequence that moves through body, mind, nourishment, rest, energy, and spirit before the day pulls you in six directions.
Seven months tracking inflammation markers and the small shifts that actually held.
Racing thoughts, decision fatigue, and the lion's mane + L-theanine combination that brought clarity back.
Not a diet — a set of nourishment principles built around what actually sustains me.
The shift from optimizing for highs to protecting for steadiness — and the daily ritual behind it.
Magnesium timing, light exposure, and the wind-down sequence that stabilized everything.
Cortisol balance, emotional regulation, and the one compound that touches all six dimensions.
Powder, Capsules, Drops, Gummies — every blend chosen for how it supports the whole picture, not one metric.
I tracked all six dimensions together for twelve months — not to optimize any single one, but to understand how they pull on each other. When the body runs empty, energy crashes. When energy spikes without rest, everything else pays for it. Mapping those interactions became the Sylvara practice.
The most complete piece I've written — and the foundation for every formulation decision since.
Read the full audit →Sylvara Health started as a sole proprietorship in Boulder, CO, after years of optimizing individual health metrics without ever checking whether they were in balance with each other. My training was consistent but my nervous system wasn't. My schedule was clean but my spirit was running on empty.
I built the Sylvara Health line — Powder, Capsules, Drops, and Gummies — around balance, not optimization. Every ingredient is chosen for how it supports the whole picture: ashwagandha for body and spirit, magnesium for rest and mind, lion's mane for mind and energy.
I work out of a small studio near downtown Boulder. Real balance, real practice, real small business.
