Together, let's take the next step in cancer screening
DATE: June 25th
TIME: 10 am-2 pm

We are thrilled to share that we now offer the Galleri multi-cancer early detection test. Nearly 70% of deaths are caused by cancers with no recommended screening tests (i.e. ovarian, pancreatic, liver/bile duct, head & neck, etc.)

ONE DAY ONLY ON-SITE DRAW AT A DISCOUNT

On Thursday, June 25th, from 10 am-2 pm, we will be hosting an on-site draw event where we can discount the Galleri test by an additional $50 - bringing the price down to just $699! You may use your flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) to cover the cost of the test, and interest-free payment options are also available. The test typically costs $949 (a $250 discount) and is not covered by insurance.


Here's how it works:

You will schedule a simple blood draw to take place at Ambrose Integrative Medicine on Islington Street in Portsmouth, NH on June 25th, 10 am - 2 pm
Billing is handled directly between you and GRAIL — $699, HSA/FSA eligible, or 12 monthly interest-free payments

The Galleri test is a simple (non-fasting) blood test that can screen for cancer before it becomes symptomatic. By the nature of the test, it preferentially detects more aggressive cancers and is a great adjunct to other recommended screenings.

If you are interested, please use the link to schedule: https://go.oncehub.com/AmbroseIntegrativeMedicine. Or call the office, and we can schedule it for you.

We are happy to go over the results with you in a follow-up appointment.

We look forward to supporting you in your continued care and wellness.

While the calendar marks the arrival of Spring, here in New England the season often carries qualities that are still cool, damp, and windy. In Ayurveda, these characteristics can aggravate Vata and Kapha dosas, creating a sense of heaviness, chill or imbalance in the body. On days like these, choosing warm, cooked, and gently spiced foods help to kindle Agni (digestive fire), support circulation, and restore a sense of internal balance.

Check out this wonderful recipe from our blog: SWEET POTATO PORRIDGE RECIPE

Did you know sweet potatoes are considered a superfood?!

Sweet potatoes are a highly nutritious root vegetable. This fiber-packed food is what I turn to when I have a craving for sweets! Top it with walnuts, and coconut shreds, or mix in some almond butter, for a protein packed breakfast. See the recipe below.

INGREDIENTS

1 Sweet Potato

1 Can Organic Coconut Milk

½ cup Water

1 tablespoon Coconut Oil (Substitute: Olive Oil)

½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Optional: 1 teaspoon Turmeric or Ginger

TOPPINGS

Optional: ½ tablespoon Unsweetened Coconut Flakes

Optional: Berries

Optional: Chia Seeds

Optional: Nut Butter

DIRECTIONS

Peel and shred the sweet potato.

Place shredded sweet potato into a medium skillet. Then add the water and coconut milk.

Cover the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Stir every couple minutes to prevent burning. You will know it is done when the sweet potato is a porridge like texture.

Put the mixture into bowls and add your desired toppings.

Enjoy!
