Ever wonder why a low-carb diet might actually backfire during a gestational diabetes test? It sounds counterintuitive, but for those consuming fewer than 150 grams of carbs daily, carb loading in the week leading up to the test is often crucial to avoid a false positive result.

This insightful discussion comes from the Empowered Nutrition Podcast, where host Erin Skinner sits down with renowned expert Lily Nichols. Together, they explore the nuances of maternal nutrition and the often-misunderstood factors surrounding insulin resistance and pregnancy.

At Thrive Clinic, we believe in a proactive, personalized approach to your health. Erin Skinner and her team specialize in functional medicine, providing holistic care that addresses the root cause of health concerns, not just the symptoms.

Do you know labs could tell you more about your nutritional health? 🌿

Metabolomix+ from Genova Diagnostics is a comprehensive functional nutrition assessment that looks beyond basic lab markers to provide additional insight into areas such as:

🥗 Nutrient status
🐟 Fatty acid status, including omega-3 fats
🔥 Inflammation and antioxidant status
🧠 Neurotransmitter-related markers
🌱 Detoxification pathways
🔎 Additional markers, including heavy metals and fungal/yeast-related markers

The test can be completed at home using a combination of urine, blood spot, and buccal swab samples.

At Thrive Clinics, we believe that understanding your health means looking at the bigger picture. Lab testing can provide valuable information that, when considered alongside your symptoms, health history, nutrition, and lifestyle, can help inform a more personalized approach to care.

Curious if Metabolomix+ is right for you?

Growing up in the 2000s meant navigating a culture obsessed with thinness, often at the expense of long-term health. But what is the true cost of that era’s standards on our hormonal well-being? In this episode of the Thrive Podcast, host Erin Skinner—founder of Thrive Clinic—sits down with fertility dietitian Victoria Myers, RDN, to unpack the complex relationship between body image, restrictive eating, and fertility.

Victoria shares her personal journey of navigating a disconnect with her body and offers vital insights into why periods often vanish after coming off birth control, the physiological impact of under-eating, and the path to healing hypothalamic amenorrhea to reclaim natural fertility. It’s a raw, necessary look at breaking free from toxic diet culture to restore hormonal balance.

At Thrive Clinic, we believe in a holistic, functional approach to health that treats the root cause, not just the symptoms. Whether you're struggling with fertility, hormonal imbalances, or digestive health, our team is here to support you with comprehensive care that is covered by insurance.

DHA may be a small part of your diet, but this omega-3 fatty acid plays an important role in supporting overall health. 🌿

DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, is naturally found in certain seafood and is an important structural component of tissues throughout the body.

For women, nutrition is about more than calories or individual nutrients. Your nutritional needs can change throughout life, including during the reproductive years, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause.

Instead of focusing on one “perfect” food or nutrient, aim for a varied, nutrient-dense eating pattern that includes healthy fats and omega-3-rich foods.

At Thrive Clinics, we believe nutrition should be personalized to you. Our nutrition-centered approach considers how food, lifestyle, and your individual health needs work together to support energy, metabolic health, digestion, hormones, and overall wellness.

Start with your plate. Add more variety. Choose nutrient-rich foods. Build sustainable habits.

Back-to-school season is here - and that means busy mornings, packed lunches, and plenty of opportunities for picky eating to show up. 🎒🌿

Picky eating doesn't have to become a battle at the dinner table - or in the lunchroom.

Instead of pressuring your child to “just take one bite,” try creating a low-pressure environment where they can explore food at their own pace.

🍽️ Pack one familiar food alongside something new.
👀 Let exploration count - looking, touching, smelling, and tasting all matter.
🌱 Focus on a positive relationship with food, not a perfectly clean lunchbox.

Less pressure. More curiosity. Better mealtimes.

At Thrive Clinics, Child Wellness includes pediatric nutrition support designed to help children and families navigate picky eating, feeding challenges, and healthy eating habits. Our practitioners and dietitians work together to create nutrition wellness plans tailored to your child's unique needs and palate.

Because helping your child thrive at school starts with more than what's in their lunchbox. 🤍

The debate between purees and baby-led weaning (BLW) can feel like a high-stakes decision for new parents, but there’s a secret that might just lower the pressure: you don’t have to choose.

This clip from the Empowered Nutrition Podcast features pediatric nutrition expert Kerry Lett, offering a refreshing perspective on infant feeding. Kerry breaks down why a combination approach—utilizing the benefits of both purees and traditional BLW methods—is not only acceptable but can be a fantastic path forward for both parent and child. It’s time to stop feeling boxed into one lane and embrace a feeding style that works for your unique family.

At Thrive Clinic, we believe that every child deserves a personalized approach to health and nutrition. Our team is dedicated to providing holistic, functional care that addresses the root causes of wellness concerns—and the best part is that our services are covered by insurance.
