Like a really good soup recipe, if we put the right ingredients in a pot, magic happens, and we are comforted and nourished.

Identifying the ingredients we need for healing is the first step to creating the magic. What ingredients do you need? Let’s call them forth this season, my sweet friends. Name an ingredient and I’ll send positive thoughts and energy your way. ❤️

Happy Thanksgiving all! I’m grateful for the awe

Happy Thanksgiving all! I’m grateful for the awesome women I get to work with - and I’m grateful to have work that doesn’t feel like work because it’s constantly challenging, creative, thought-provoking, awe-inspiring, and rewarding. I hope you all are finding coziness, safety, warmth, and love this weekend. ❤️

A message to be compassionate and gentle with yourself, and that there are things you can do on your own to get better. ❤️

This week I’ve spent a lot of time educating pat

This week I’ve spent a lot of time educating patients about how to reverse and manage a myriad of chronic conditions. Most of these were new diagnoses, and some of them made by me. This included:

✅psoriatic arthritis
✅hashimoto’s thyroiditis
✅PCOS
✅insulin resistance
✅CIRS CDR (chronic inflammatory response syndrome cell danger response)
✅histamine intolerance
✅reactivated Epstein-Barr virus
✅long covid

People have been so grateful that I spent the time educating them, and talked about how they don’t get this education from their other doctors.

I am really grateful that I get to do this, as good medicine starts with education. It’s important to understand your condition and how to manage it with things you can do on your own - lifestyle, nutrition, the right supplements.

You shouldn’t be left to get educated solely from the internet or social media! 😳

I am sad that education doesn’t happen regularly with all other providers. I don’t fully understand why it doesn’t… But yet, this is how it is.

I am passionate about providing medical and health education - I do this one on one daily, but I also do it through free articles, workshops, and newsletters, and accessible group programs.

Thanks for being here. 🙏
Hope your holiday weekend is going well! Monday is indigenous peoples day!

There are soooo many great supplements to help reg

There are soooo many great supplements to help regulate the immune system. But we start with what your body essentially needs. The body doesn’t essentially need turmeric/curcumin. But it definitely needs these things:

✅Vitamin D, A, and zinc: These help fight viruses and autoimmunity. Aim for upper quartile on bloodwork.
✅Glutathione (you make this yourself but if needs are high or cysteine is low in your diet it can be low).
✅Omega3 fats - notoriously low in modern foods and diets, and key to resolving inflammation
✅Omega6 fats get a bad rep because we have way too much in our modern diets (compared to Omega3s) but there’s a special Omega6 called GLA that helps resolve inflammation, found in borage, black currant seed, and evening primrose oils.

So before going to the fancy things, like sulforaphane, resverstrol, and curcumin (my favorites), we start with the essentials, and we test them first. We use Quest labs because they provide all these markers and have locations across the U.S. They also offer direct-to-consumer labs if you don’t have a provider to order these.

Many social media influencers as well as health co

Many social media influencers as well as health coaches and practitioners tell people that everybody with an autoimmune condition should avoid gluten and dairy. I 💯 disagree. This is not an actual thing.
.
There are good reasons to investigate if you react to gluten and dairy, among other foods. We want to keep the immune system happy and well-regulated, and if specific foods are causing inflammation and reactions, this can be a problem. However, this is ENTIRELY UNIQUE. There is NO SINGLE FOOD that is an immune trigger for all people.
.
The only way to determine if you react to a food is by testing systematically through a personalized elimination diet. This has been the gold standard for at least a century, and it has not changed. Blood tests can help inform the process, but these need to be interpreted carefully. There is no blood test that will accurately tell you what you are sensitive to.
.
Doing a personalized elimination diet is well worth the effort! You may be surprised at the results. You may find that you’re fine with gluten, but that is something else that is causing inflammation and flaring up your immune system.
.
We see lots of patients tolerating gluten and/or dairy just fine, and reacting to other foods they may never have suspected.
.
So if someone here on this app, or anywhere else, tells you that you MUST be gluten & dairy free, you can unfollow or simply disregard. Spread the word!
.
What have your experiences been with figuring out your food sensitivities?

I don’t talk about my acupuncture very often her

I don’t talk about my acupuncture very often here, because this account is primarily for my functional medicine work. I’ve been a licensed acupuncturist for 19 years! It’s truly an amazing addition to functional medicine (or as a stand-alone in some cases) for women’s hormone balance and reproductive health, including:

1️⃣Menstrual cycle treatment for PCOS, irregular cycles, PMS, PMDD, luteal phase deficiency, and painful periods.

2️⃣ Perimenopause symptoms, like hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, sweats.

3️⃣ Fertility enhancement, both natural and to assist technologies like IVF

4️⃣ Pregnancy care, including nausea, fatigue, aches and pains, and labor preparation and encouragement (“induction”)

5️⃣ Postpartum! This is a much overlooked & undertreated time of a woman’s life, when hormones have crashed, and she’s overwhelmed with a new baby, and it’s hard to get treatment. I’ll have women bring in their babies to nurse, sleep, or let me hold them while they get treatment. And, I do house calls for postpartum. 🤗

Have you used acupuncture for any of these women’s health issues?
