If you are wanting to actually fix your hormones, then birth control is not the answer!

Birth control actually stops our body from producing hormones naturally.

If you are experiencing horrible periods, issues with ovulation, and unbearable PMS symptoms then that means you need to get to the root cause of these issues...not slap a birth control band-aid on it and deal with it later.

Hormone issues stem from so many things....

-Poor liver detoxification
-Excess plastics in the body
-Chemical/heavy metal overload
-Blood sugar issues
-Thyroid dysfunction
-Using toxic self-care products everyday
-Stress
-Synthetic hormones
-Poor dietary choices

Birth control also depletes your body of many essential nutrients in the body like magnesium, B vitamins, zinc, selenium, and vitamin C (just to name a few).

Have you heard Your bloodwork is NORMAL....see you in another year?"

You're not the only one. I hear this all the time in my office when I am going over blood work with my patients. Blood work can be normal, but you can still have issues with your health OR I usually look over labs and find that things are out of range when your primary care has said otherwise.

This is because I look at your blood work through a functional medicine lense. I focus on preventative medicine and catching anything earlier rather than later when it comes to your health. Symptoms appear earlier than lab works shows, so it is important to address issues early on.

The 3 stages of care in my office are...

1. IDENTIFY
2. TREAT
3. PREVENT

I identify the root cause of your health concerns and treat with a personalized functional medicine approach for each patient. Once treatment heals you, we then work to prevent these issues from reoccurring. My goal is for you to maintain ideal health and not wait as long the next time something comes up.

Does this resonate with you?

Have you heard time and time again that your labs are normal but you still experience health issues? Has a doctor prescribed you medications for such issues and not asked you about your diet, lifestyle, environmental exposures, work, etc.?

Blood sugar is such a common thing nowadays because of how highly processed our diets are. The new normal is drinking coffee for breakfast, eating quick on-the-go fast food for meals, and then eating our heaviest meal in the evening and most of the time it is heavy on the carbohydrates. People have neglected to optimize their protein and fat intake and instead opted for a high processed carb and sugar diet. Throwing off your blood sugar like this every single day can lead to so many health issues.

If I had to pick 2 things as the center of your health it would be gut health and balancing blood sugar. If you address these 2 issues you can really optimize your health and reduce a ton of symptoms you are experiencing.

By balancing blood sugar I mean.....

-Eating breakfast within the first hour of the day upon waking
-Eat a protein rich breakfast
-Don't just drink coffee on an empty stomach in the morning
-Skip the processed carb and sugar filled breakfasts (pancakes, waffles, cereal, starbucks sugar filled coffee, bagels, fruit smoothies, etc.)
-Eat enough protein at each meal to reduce snacking throughout the day
-Make breakfast and lunch your bigger meals of the day and keep dinner on the lighter side
-Don't eat too much too late at night

How many of you don't do some of the things listed above? We are all guilty of it at times, but doing this consistently can create a snowball effect and eventually take ahold of your health.

Want to know if your issues are blood sugar related or need help making the proper changes to improve this? Reach out to me or you can schedule a free 15 minute consultation with me in the link in my bio!

Hormone imbalances don't just pop up overnight. It is usually years and years of factors that pile up and eventually our body starts to show symptoms of this dysregulation. I have listed a few reasons why you may have hormone issues. The gut and liver are the top 2 organs that are involved with hormone health and are the first few things I look at with my hormone patients. Getting these 2 organs functioning properly can reduce so many hormone issues.

While the gut and liver are being treated properly, we need to assess our every day life and the things we are exposed to on a regular basis. By this I mean environmental toxins, heavy metals, medications, plastics, self-care products, etc. What we breathe in, put on our skin, or ingest can play a vital role in our hormones and how we regulate them.

I tell all my patients to really start decreasing the amount of toxic products you consume and opt for a non-toxic alternative. With ladies, this includes skincare, hair care, feminine products, makeup, etc. For everyone, you should be assessing the cookware, sunscreen, air fresheners, candles, cleaning products, and even the quality of water and coffee that you drink. All of these things can either make or break your health. I have listed the top items you need to look at when switching to a less toxic life.

1. Skincare products
2. Haircare
3. Cleaning products
4. Cookware
5. Laundry & Dishwasher Detergent
6. Coffee & Water
7. Candles
8. Sunscreen

Magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, phosphorus, sulfur, and calcium are some of the many essential minerals for the body. People think that these minerals are only important for hydration, but they help with so much more.

Getting adequate amounts of these essential minerals can help with…

-Rehydrating the body
-Increasing energy
-Improving sleep
-Reducing migraines
-Regulating blood pressure
-Improving circulation
-Muscle contractions
-Nerve transmission
-Immune system health
-Maintaining health teeth and bones

There are some MYTHS when it comes to electrolytes and hydration.

1. Drinking electrolytes/replenishing minerals should be done only when sweating in excess or during exercise.
2. The more water you drink the more hydrated you are.
3. There is no such thing as drinking too much water.
4. Having your p*e appear clear when using the restroom means you are well hydrated.

Here are some takeaway points to help you improve your mineral levels.

-Replacing minerals in the body should be done on a daily basis. This can be done by adding trace minerals/electrolytes (with sea salt) to water
-Shoot for drinking about half your body weight in ounces of water with these minerals added
-Reduce stress in your life. Putting your nervous system in a fight-or-flight state depletes minerals

All diseases people suffer from today start in the gut. Unfortunately, our food supply is corrupt and unhealthy, which in turn affects our gut microbiome. Microbiome health is linked to every disease you can list and here are just to name a few. That is why it is so important to be intentional about what we put into our body, because it can influence our health and potential of developing disease.

I suggest seeing a functional medicine practitioner like myself to get to the root cause of your disease or health concerns, so we can help to rid the body of infections and imbalance and allow it to heal.

One way to start is to stick to the basics when it comes to food. Skip the packaged food, seed oils, fast food, fake meat, low-calorie, or low-fat foods and switch to REAL FOOD like grass-fed protein like red meat, wild-caught fish, butter (Yes, I am saying to eat butter!), and organic produce. Your food should not have a lengthy ingredient label!

We live in a world of saying "Yes" all the time to other people and never give ourselves the self-care that we really need. This can greatly impact our health in so many ways.

Learn to say "No" more to people and say "Yes" to yourself more often and put you and your health first. Don't want until you are at your wits end and drowning in stress, health concerns, and feeling emotionally drained. You deserve to priotize yourself so you can help others and be able to say "Yes" to things without suffering!

Did you know that the bones that make up your skull move slightly when we breathe?

What happens when they are not moving properly?

These are a few signs/symptoms and conditions that may indicate you need cranial work done…

-Hx of concussions
-Hx of whiplash trauma
-Migraines/Headaches
-Disturbed sleep cycles
-Neck pain
-Vertigo
-Dizziness
-TMJ issues
-Mood disorders (anxiety, depression, etc.)
-Sinus issues
-Recurrent ear infections
-Chronic pain
-Fibromyalgia
-Neurodegenerative disorders

Correcting these cranial imbalances with light pressure and breathing can relieve tension in the central nervous system, relieve symptoms you may be experiencing, and boost your overall health.

Does this sound familiar to you or someone you know? If so, please reach out with any questions you may have or are interested in seeking out treatment!
