AUGUST ROUND UP.
A few favorites of last month. Let’s get into it.
-WHOLE 30. We gotta give Teresa props for following through with this. It’s a great reset for your gut and can actually help figure out food sensitivities for some. This is a pretty strict and disciplined 30 days of really having to think through your meals and staying on top of nutrition. Not meant to be forever, but a great tool for lowering inflammation!
-Clinical grade red light therapy. Not all red light is the same! Teresa has been working with a clinical grade red light laser for inflammation and autoimmune support and loves it!
-Berries & mangos! A sweet treat during whole 30 that has actually prompted some interesting conversations about the diet culture we were all raised in. For so many people there is an odd lingering fear around consuming fruit because of the sugar component. During whole 30 sugar is actually restricted for the entirety of the program but fruit is allowed. We also have had a few conversations with patients recently about how fruit is good for you and a nice sweet treat alternative to the cakes and cookies. So don’t be scared of fruit!!!!!! It’s natures candy to us all!
-Vaginal estrogen has been a repeat prescription these days and for good reason! The vaginal tissue naturally loses elasticity over time leading to pain, dryness, and even urinary problems. Most women tend to think that’s just a part of getting older and you have to deal with it! But we are here to tell you, there’s actually a simple treatment!!!! Vaginal estrogen does not significantly raise estrogen levels systemically throughout your body making it a great addition for women in the perimenopause/menopausal state. It can help relieve a lot of the symptoms you may be experiencing and isn’t an expensive treatment at all! Ask about it at your next appointment and don’t suffer silently!
-BPC 157 is a peptide we’ve been using pretty often here at MAC Med. It’s really great for tissue repair and recovery and we have seen a lot of success with it!
That’s all for this month. See ya next time and remember this is for education purposes only, always talk to your doctor before doing or adding anything! ✨
