As a holistic practitioner, people often assume th

As a holistic practitioner, people often assume that I’m anti-medication...⁠
.⁠
...this could be farther from the truth, because during my health journey, at times, medication has been pivotal to my healing.🙅🏻‍♀️⁠
.⁠
However, I learned this lesson the hard way.⁠
.⁠
When my son was 5 and trying to survive in kindergarten, I was having a really hard time. My postpartum anxiety was triggered and went through the roof.⁠
.⁠
I had, what I like to call, a nervous breakdown.⁠
.⁠
📌This went on for months.⁠
.⁠
Just like with my #rheumatoidarthritis -- I resisted medication because I felt like I would be a failure to not heal myself with natural approaches.🚨⁠
.⁠
I literally spent my days laying in bed, trying to meditate, and the second I stopped, I would start crying again.⁠
.⁠
👉🏾My mother-in-law, who is very loving and a psychotherapist, was very worried about me and begged me to get on medication.⁠
.⁠
I finally took her advice, and went on medication which was a huge part of stabilizing my nervous system so that the natural healing modalities could work their magic.✨⁠
.⁠
This experience was humbling to see that Western Medicine does have its place, even in natural health.⁠
.⁠
So, if you come to me on medications, it’s okay. This is a judgement free zone, as I know they can be absolutely essential to the healing process.⁠
.⁠
I’m curious to know, has anyone else had to learn a lesson the hard way?⁠

Did you know that the term Polycystic Ovarian Synd

Did you know that the term Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is outdated, and that you can have PCOS without any ovarian cysts?!⁠
.⁠
Yes, you read that right -- no cysts!⁠
.⁠
Instead of cysts, PCOS clues are . . .⁠
⚠️ Irregular, unpredictable cycles⁠
⚠️ Infertility⁠
⚠️ Thinning hair on your head⁠
⚠️ Heavy periods⁠
⚠️ Difficulty losing weight⁠
⚠️ Past miscarriages⁠
⚠️ Boils on your butt, armpit or groin⁠
⚠️ Dark skin patches on your neck or armpits⁠
⚠️ Excessive hair in unwanted places⁠
⚠️ Diabetes or pre-diabetes⁠
⚠️ Adult acne⁠
⚠️ "Muffin top" belly fat⁠
.⁠
What if you’re not sure if you have PCOS?⁠
.⁠
A good place to start is to take my PCOS quiz.⁠
.⁠
While it can’t give you an official diagnosis, it can help you to begin to understand your symptoms and help you bring up the possibility with your doctor.⁠
.⁠
You can take the quiz with the link in the bio!⁠

Want to get nerdy with me?🤓 . 🌿 One of the t

Want to get nerdy with me?🤓
.
🌿 One of the things the pandemic shelter time has allowed me to do is get back to my herbal medicine roots, and to design my own liquid (alcohol-decocted) tinctures.
.
✅ Herbal medicine is powerful and effective, and tinctures allow for easy absorption through mucous membranes, without the fuss of swallowing and digesting pills and capsules.
.
✅ These herbs are clean, effective, and do not have fillers and additives.
.
I’ve been blending tinctures for women’s issues (irregular periods, PMS, + so much more) with the Conceivable line.
.
Now I’ve designed my own formulas for most of the common conditions I see.
.
The beauty of these elixirs is that you don’t just have to choose one theme to focus on. <<< This is the part that I love to do! Creating custom blends 🤓
.
.
.
Some common themes I treat with herbs:
.
📌 Emotional wellbeing
▷ Zen: calm your nervous system and reduce anxiety.
▷ Uplift: raise a depressed, sad, or irritable mood.
▷ Love: relax, open your heart, and get in the mood for love.
.
.
📌 Physical wellbeing
▷ Sleep: reduce cortisol, release worries, and drop into a deeper sleep state.
▷ Relief: release pain specific to the upper body (neck/shoulders/arms), lower body (hips/low back/legs) or pelvis area (endometriosis/cysts/periods).
▷ Energy: tonics and adaptogens that raise energy and help your resiliency during trying stressful times.
▷Digest: assists the breakdown of food, improves elimination and gets rid of bloating.
.
.
📌 Immune Formulas
▷Protect: prevent allergies, nasal and sinus congestion, smoke damage, or viral infections.
▷ Recover: heals from smoke or respiratory damage after an infection.
▷Breathe: open up your nose when you can't breathe because of congestion.
▷Defend: treat acute respiratory infections, colds, flu, and viruses.

🙋🏽‍♀️ Are you tired of managing your P

🙋🏽‍♀️ Are you tired of managing your PCOS with medications that mask symptoms but don't actually heal the condition?⁠
.⁠
🙋🏻‍♀️ Do you want real answers and safe solutions for PCOS?⁠
.⁠
🙋🏿‍♀️ Are you motivated to do what it takes to reverse your diagnosis and truly heal your PCOS?⁠
.⁠
.⁠
Rest assured, we got you covered.🎉⁠
.⁠
We designed the PCOS Solution® online program for YOU.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
How can you overcome the root causes of PCOS?⁠
.⁠
These drivers are entirely reversible through lifestyle changes - lifestyle medicine.⁠
.⁠
This means retraining the aspects of your life that are essential for hormone balance – including the ways you:⁠
✅ eat⁠
✅ sleep⁠
✅ move⁠
✅ relax⁠
✅ destress⁠
.⁠
We work with women of all ages who are motivated to make the right changes but overwhelmed about what to do.⁠
.⁠
📌 They are tired of self-diagnosing and self-treating from blogs and books.⁠
.⁠
The reality is that it's hard to identify your PCOS drivers and then apply lifestyle medicine alone and without help..⁠
.⁠
That's where we come in.⁠
.⁠
This program has our decades of experiences of helping women make healthy changes that last!⁠
.⁠
We know what motivated women need and provide it in the PCOS Solution® program.⁠
.⁠
We go beyond the books, blogs, and Dr. Google, and provide what women need for real success!⁠
.⁠
This is an online, self-paced course that you can do from the comfort of your own home.⁠
.⁠
However, unlike most courses, you actually get access to ME to ask your questions.⁠

Do you feel out of control when it comes to eating

Do you feel out of control when it comes to eating sugar?
.
Sugar does change your brain chemistry and can drive compulsive behavior.
.
Here are my top 3 tips to help keep the “sugar dragon” at bay.🐉🍰🍮🍡🍭
.
1️⃣ Get enough sleep every night
Most people need eight hours of sleep per night, if not more. Not getting enough sleep can increase your sugar cravings!
.
It affects hormones that control your appetite (leptin and ghrelin), and it can also raise the stress hormone cortisol. This combination makes you more susceptible to urges and cravings. If you are physically tired during the day, you may crave sugar as a pick-me-up.
.
When do you have your strongest sugar cravings?
.
Many people have them towards the end of the day. Research shows that sugar cravings are tied to your circadian rhythm and sleep patterns. If you don’t sleep on a regular schedule, or if you’re not getting enough quality sleep, your sugar cravings can intensify.
.
.
2️⃣ Keep emergency food
Often sugar cravings occur because you are hungry or thirsty! Make sure you have access to emergency food or snacks if you go for long stretches between meals. Ideally snacks should contain protein and fat, and not carbohydrates alone.
.
.
3️⃣ Use herbs and supplements
Sometimes while your body is healing, I like to make things as easy as possible. One of my favorite supplements for this is Endotrim. Endotrim helps to balance blood sugar and insulin, improves mood with serotonin and dopamine precursors, and regulates cortisol. It’s such an impressive combo for mood, blood sugar balance, insulin resistance, weight loss, leptin and ghrelin regulation, and stress that it’s one of my top tools in my tool box for helping women overcome the sugar dragon ;)
