Podcast yesterday with my friend of over 10 years, @Beingbrigid (MS/RDN/IFNCP)! We discuss nutrition for women in depth, dispel nutrition myths, discuss what an optimal diet for women can look like and so much more. https://t.co/1BtbTLHHIk

A meta-analysis published in JAMA Network Open found those who walked 7,000 or more steps daily had a 31% lower risk of developing depression compared to those taking fewer steps. Each additional 1,000 steps per day was associated with a 9% reduction in depression risk.

A 15-minute doctor’s appointment 1-2 X per year isn’t enough to reverse health conditions, optimize your labs, or help you feel your best.

This is especially true for women, who are navigating hormonal shifts through different life stages—only to be told that feeling exhausted and gaining weight as a mom is “just normal.” And that testing hormone levels isn’t “evidence based.”

To our corporate leaders, healthcare leaders, and elected officials:

Your days of business as usual are over. We demand that you take ownership of the childhood chronic disease epidemic and examine how your products, policies, and interventions are contributing to this crisis.

We will no longer accept the staggering rise in chronic illness—autoimmune diseases, allergies, eczema, digestive disorders, neurobehavioral conditions, and autism—as “normal” or unrelated to the toxic food, air, and water our children are exposed to daily.

We demand:
✔️An end to infusing untested chemicals and additives into our food supply. Stop feeding our babies substances that have never been properly studied for long-term safety.

✔️Higher quality ingredients over profit margins. Our children’s health is not a business model.

✔️An end to subsidies for the unhealthiest foods. Stop making it harder for families to afford nutrient-dense, whole foods.

✔️A ban on chemical-laden pesticides being sprayed on our food. We refuse to serve our kids poison at the dinner table.

✔️Food scientists to create nourishing foods that help our kids thrive—not products designed for addiction. Our children deserve better than hyper-processed, artificially flavored junk.

✔️A stop to taxpayer dollars funding ultra-processed school lunches. Our children should not be fed meals filled with food dyes, pesticides, added sugars, vegetable oils, and preservatives in schools across America.

✔️Independent science—not industry-funded studies—informing policies and guidelines. Big Food and Big Pharma should not dictate public health.

✔️Respect in the doctor’s office. Stop gaslighting and belittling parents who have done their research. We know our children better than any expert.

✔️A shift toward root-cause medicine. Expand your knowledge on nutrition, supplements, and lower-risk interventions that are very well documented in the research before reaching for the prescription pad.

✔️An end to blindly prescribing birth control to our daughters. Learn how to investigate symptoms rather than masking them.

✔️Full transparency and informed consent on every side effect for any medical intervention. Our children’s health should never be subject to a pediatricians bonus, corporate payouts by our congress men and women, or complete indemnification from negative outcomes.

We are awake. We are informed. And we will not be silenced.

The era of placing profits over the health and safety of our children is coming to an end. Our sons and daughters deserve to be healthy, safe, and thriving. We will accept nothing less.

Signed,
Parents across America

Movement is medicine. Mindfulness is medicine. Food is medicine. Nature is medicine.
Drugs are far more potent in the acute setting, but lifestyle is the key to long-term health.

Not all supplements are created equally.

We learned this once we started formulating WeNatal. The industry is unregulated and it's important to pay attention to what you are putting into your body as you embark on your health journey.

One of our goals when creating WeNatal is

While we are on the topic of Food is Medicine this week, we wanted to share a post from our friend and Functional Medicine Dietitian @beingbrigid.

French life expectancy is up, 83. Why do the French live longer than Americans? For me it’s obvious: they have a preventive, healthcare system that follows them thru life. Not a for-profit system they mostly avoid until it’s too late. Here is an amazing example.

[Austin Perlmutter, MD @austinperlmd]

It is not enough to know the healthy choice. It is not enough to want to make the healthy choice. Willpower and knowledge are not enough.
We have to make the healthy choice the easier, cheaper, more socially accepted and more enjoyable option. We must expand the health narrative

Fake healthy foods” aren’t always easy to figure out. @WholeFoods 365 brand, for instance, uses canola oil in their mixed nuts, salted cashews and almonds! Keep a closer eye on what you’re buying. A big thanks to one of my favorite dietitians, @Beingbrigid for the picture.

When you start to look at food as an avenue to create health, it no longer becomes something you actively try to restrict. It becomes a primary vehicle to create health in every cell of your body!

A federal committee is recommending that Americans get no more than 6% of their daily calories from added sugar, down from the current 10% guideline https://t.co/gC8F5ga83O

Vitamin D's many functions include: reducing cellular growth (which promotes cancer) and improving cell differentiation (which puts cells into an anti-cancer state). But what’s even more fascinating is how vitamin D regulates and controls genes.
