Navigating the terrain of menopause can be thrilling. It’s the time when you become the author of your own life, and get to envision and design your third trimester of your life. Cut out the bullshit and streamline your focus.

As an artist/acupuncturist, I can’t help but stop to admire the lush color combination of these reds and greens together. I rarely take acupuncture photos and grateful this sweet person let me take this shot! Isn’t it luscious?

Hi!

There are some new folks here so I’d like to reintroduce myself. This account is for my holistic medical practice which is mainly functional medicine and acupuncture care. Here are 3 aspects of my work that have shaped my practitioner journey:
.
🙋🏽‍♀️ I’ve taught Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement classes since 1995. This method is amazing. It’s how I maintain my own comfort, ease of movement, mobility and flexibility. For example my shoulder was bothering me recently, so I focused on doing classes (“lessons”) that help shoulders heal and transform and they helped dramatically and quickly. Best of this method is that it also serves as meditation and stress reduction. Online classes coming back soon!
.
🙋🏽‍♀️ I first used Functional Medicine in 1999 to work with a scary and crippling onset of rheumatoid arthritis when I was young. It saved my body and my life and I am passionate about it! I’m not gonna lie, a food-first approach, plus gut health, have always been KEY.
.
🙋🏽‍♀️ I’ve been obsessed with nutrition for decades. I became certified as a holistic nutrition consultant, and also in a special branch called “Metabolic Typing” and use these all the time with folks I work with and teach.
.
Things about me not related to my medical practice:
.
🫣 I went to college for Fine Arts and I love art. I also love not doing visual art to make a living! But give me an art project every day of the week and I am a happy camper.
.
🫣 I also majored in women and gender studies which helped shape the feminist bisexual person I became. I rarely ID as bi or queer because I am in a monogamous heterosexual marriage and knowingly get the privilege of this role, however before this guy I was full-on gay for the prior 8 years.
.
🫣 I live peacefully with my spouse and son and 2 ridiculously cute and silly dogs on the coast of California in Santa Cruz county. Every single day I am grateful for this paradise.
.
Thanks for following me! I wax and wane with my output here, but know that I am here to support questioning minds around health, from a holistic feminist perspective. I appreciate you for being here! ❤️

It hasn’t always been an easy journey, this moth

It hasn’t always been an easy journey, this mothering thing, but I keep showing up and learning. Theo, I love what an easygoing, affectionate, and fun person you’ve become (even though I know this weekend has been rough, it’s just a blip)! Love you always. ❤️❤️❤️

A little chat about our Functional Whole30 program

A little chat about our Functional Whole30 program to answer some questions that have come in, such as:

❓Why do we do this?
❓Isn’t Whole30 “meat heavy?”
❓What is the functional part?
❓Are the foods we eliminate for 30 days (processed foods, sugar, alcohol, dairy, legumes, grains) bad for us?
❓Is this supposed to be permanent?

I made this! If you know me personally, you know I

I made this! If you know me personally, you know I have a weakness for soy cappuccinos and lattes from the coffee shop! The problem with this for me personally is that expense adds up, plus they always add sugar to the soy milk. I do well with both espresso and soy milk (although both of these can be problematic for different people, for different reasons). However I’m not thrilled about the added sugar. My continuous glucose meter shows that it gives me a spike that I really don’t need or want.
.
So I got the necessary equipment to make my own at home. My recipe is 2 espresso shots, unsweetened Silk soymilk which foams really well (thanks for the tip @teresalcarlos), and I add 1 teaspoon of allulose. Allulose is a relatively new sugar substitute I’ve been exploring. Previously the ones I approved were xylitol, monk fruit and stevia. However xylitol is a sugar alcohol which can be hard on the G.I. tract for some folks 🙋🏽‍♀️, monk fruit is hard to find by itself (usually it’s mixed with sugar alcohols, again hard on the G.I. tract), and stevia is well, gross enough to ruin the taste of things. 🤣 Allulose is easy on my gut, doesn’t spike my glucose, and has a really mellow sweet taste.
.
I’m not saying this drink is perfect for everyone with its ingredients or taste, since we are all unique. But for a lady who loves her daily coffee drink, does really well with soy, and wants zero added sugars for metabolic health, this really does the trick.
.
Paleo real food police I realize this isn’t perfect, but I aspire for balance rather than perfection. Food is both medicine and pleasure and this works for me.
.
A pet peeve of mine is how much added sugar there is in the beverages that are generally available, from juice to coffee drinks to energy drinks to sodas, whether from 7-Eleven or the health food store. It’s a good idea for all of us to keep added sugar to under 25 g per day, especially children and teens, and if one beverage has 40 g of sugar… 🤦🏽‍♀️.
.
What are you drinking these days that brings you pleasure and has less than 5 grams of sugar?

De-inflaming your body starts with food! What you put in your mouth can make or break inflammation. Although this project can be complex in some situations, a simple food-first approach is highly likely to bring meaningful and measurable results for everyone. You can watch your blood markers improve as your aches, pains, swelling, stiffness, puffiness, and allergies calm down. You can enjoy a sharper mind, less bloating, better energy, and smoother menstrual cycles as you de-inflame your body and mind with food.
.
What is a food-first approach to stop inflammation?
.
This means two simple steps:

1️⃣Eat the ingredients your body absolutely needs to de-inflame, in the quantities you need to get blood values into optimal ranges. These are measurable, so test your levels! In some cases, such as vitamin D, you may need to supplement. Eat and supplement to correct and optimize blood levels.
.
2️⃣Identify and avoid the foods that inflame you. This is individual, as there are no whole foods from nature that are inflammatory to everyone. There are, however, refined and processed new-fangled foods that are inflammatory to everyone in various degrees and we mention them in the blog.
.
There is no single whole food that’s inflammatory for every person. There is no reason to restrict a whole food from nature unless there’s proof that it inflames you personally! The project is to identify which foods (if any) inflame you.
.
An elimination diet is THE classic tried-and-true method to accomplish this project. This involves tuning in to how you feel and function in response to foods. This is exactly what @plated_withlove Kirsten and I help women and their families/roommates/friends do in our live and interactive #functionalwhole30 groups that we guide 2-3 times a year. Next one starts May 13. See link in bio. ❤️
