Use a simple approach known as the 5R protocol to heal. Leaky gut is a condition characterized by increased intestinal permeability, and often associated with changes to gut bacteria.

Here are the 5 steps.

☝️REMOVE. Shift away from the standard American diet by removing gut triggers like gluten, dairy, alcohol, GMOs, chocolate, sugar, stress, and basically anything that makes your gut not feel good. You may also need treatment for parasites or gut infection to remove them. We also aim to, with the help of our care providers remove any medicines that we can.

✌️REPLACE digestive enzymes, acid, vitamins and minerals that have been depleted. Supplements like betaine HCl may be needed if there is too little stomach acid. Digestive enzymes, especially pancreatic enzymes may be needed. Chronic digestive disease may be a root cause of nutrient deficiencies, and B12, vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, iron, or calcium and supplementation is a must.

3️⃣REPOPULATE. You cannot heal the gut without carefully selecting probiotics and prebiotics. Supplements are basically a must, and they need to be strain specific and super high quality. Add in foods like leeks, artichokes, garlic, onions and bananas for prebiotic fibers and fermented foods like kimchi, kefir or kombucha to get more probiotic food.

4️⃣ REPAIR the lining of the gut. Feed the cells of the lining of your gut glutamine, and repair with supplements like arginine, selenium, molybdenum, aloe, slippery elm, or high quality collagen.

🖐REBALANCE. There is not a problem in the world not caused by stress or worsened by stress. Your gut will absolutely never heal under chronic stress. Supplements like glycine can help build serotonin, theanine can help increase GABA, and corn grass can help you fall asleep without sleep pattern disrupting melatonin.

Your gut can heal. And when it does….everything else begins to heal.

You deserve to be healthy. Here’s to you taking the steps to make it happen.

Yesterday someone wrote in and asked why I post so many photos of me looking like a model. She stated that it was contradictory to my message of health and wellness. That she had seen me teach with no makeup on and in the video found me to be down to earth and no nonsense. 🙅🏻‍♀️
Here’s the thing fam: I embrace every version of the woman that I am, and encourage every woman following this page to do the same. Everyday, it is simply a choice: to put on no makeup or alllllll the makeup? To blow dry hair or throw it in a messy bun? To wear a boss suit or sweatpants? To wear the Spanx or let that belly hang loose? 🤷🏻‍♀️
The fact of it is: I am still the same person regardless of my clothing and portrayal on camera. I am still just as down to earth and no nonsense wearing yoga pants as I am wearing Louboutins. I am just as smart and sassy wearing a muumuu as I am sporting St. John. I am still here to teach you about wellness whether I’m wearing a pancho or Louis Vuitton. The smart science gal can be, and is, beautiful too.👗
So why do I post a lot of model-looking photos? Because it makes me feel empowered as I convey hardcore science information to you. It makes me feel beautiful as I share my spiritual growth and musings. Because it is just as authentically me as me wearing any article of clothing I choose to wear. 👙
You too my loves. You are so authentically you in every version of you. To me, it is simply real life when I show you that sometimes I’m all dolled up and other times I am not. I love every version of you, and can’t wait to see you wearing everything that makes you feel empowered, beautiful, confident, comfortable, relaxed, and at ease. There is true power in being every version of you, and bravery in showing everyone every version. 💪🏻

To the woman who changed my life forever.

One of the greatest business mentors I’ve ever had.

One of the smartest women I’ve ever known.

One of the most generous givers I’ve ever seen.

One the most faithful Christians I’ve ever witnessed.

One of the best advice-givers I’ve ever been counseled by.

One of the most peace-making challengers I’ve known.

Here’s to the women who raise other women.

Those who are unafraid to see the best in people.

Those who follow their heart with fiery passion.

Those who lead with loving service.

Those with unfailing integrity.

Those who innovate through every problem.

And those who remain humble through it all.

Laura, you are an exemplary example of a woman I want to emulate as I continue to grow and evolve.

It is one of the greatest honors of my life to work with you at .

You are absolutely nothing short of a servant leader.

Happy Women Pharmacist Day!

75% of pharmacists are women.

We forced our way into the profession in 1727, and demanded to be degreed professionals in 1863.

There are so many of us, we demanded our way into fraternities, created one of the most egalitarian of all professions by demanding equal pay and non-punitive flexibility in part-time and per dime employment, forced the FDA to ensure drugs were safe and effective before coming to market, and are now forcing CVS, Walgreens, and Kaiser Permanente to give us working conditions that allow us to actually care for patients by staging the largest healthcare strikes and pharmacy walkouts in history.

The practice of pharmacy that modern women in pharmacy know is almost unrecognizable from that of our forebearers. Women are not only members of the profession, but are leaders, innovators, and mentors.

Here’s to the female pharmacists. May we stand strong against the monolith of big pharma and continue to make demands on behalf of our patients.

Though love contains a lot of intangibles, there are well described physical phenomena that happen to us when we are in love with another person. ❤️

First attraction. Huge surges in dopamine, serotonin, and adrenaline get us ‘hot and bothered.’ And it makes sense, these are the same neurotransmitters that fire anytime we have a new, novel, and exciting experience. This is also why love can make us a bit crazy. The brain thinks it is exciting, and loses track of the mundane. 🥳

List and s*xual desire is all about testosterone and estrogen in both men and women. Again, makes sense. I mean, s*x hormones make us want to have s*x? No way. 🤯

But long term attachment, both to friends and partners is very different. Oxytocin takes over. This is the hormone of attachment, bonding, motherhood, social interactions, and relationships. 🤗

Vasopressin is also really important for attachment and companionship. This is the hormone that causes us to groom our mates, allows for response to testosterone, makes us more mothering, including ‘Mother Bear’ behavior, gets the blood pumping, and ultimately leads to er****on in men. ☝🏻

These last two hormones are not only for lovers, but friends, family, dedicated tribes like churches, colleagues, and communities, they are the hormones of genuine human connection and love. 💗

Been struggling to get in the mood recently? Maybe need more connection, more serotonin, more dopamine and less cortisol? DM me and let’s talk about Ignite. 💊

Tag the person who brings out all feels for you. 👯‍♀️👯‍♂️👫👭👬

Someone recently asked how I was doing.

I’m as smart, fine, determined, diverse, loving, kind, honest, passionate, and wild as I’ve ever been.

Thanks for asking.

How are you doing?

Think estrogen is only for s*x drive and reproduction?

Nope.

Estrogen plays a HUGE role in the support of all of our body systems.

When estrogen is in balance, you bed myriad benefits including:

🤰🏻Reduced belly bloat and water retention. While fat deposition is important to promote fertility, both high and low estrogen can cause bloating and water weight gain.

🦴 Reduced risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. Estrogen is important for the control of osteoblasts that build bone cells, and low estrogen levels can inhibit bone formation.

🩸Reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol and increased HDL (good) cholesterol. This is why women tend to have higher HDL than men—estrogen is putting in work.

😴Better sleep. Studies show that estrogen replacement therapy after menopause can reduce insomnia, including improvements in the time it takes to fall asleep and how well you stay asleep.

🤕Reduced headaches. Highs and lows of estrogen can increase the risk of headaches because of changes in the production of serotonin governed by estrogen.
