Now I know how addicting McDonalds is because someone in Canada is using my email for their Doordash orders about every third day. Tried contacting their support to no avail and Doordash ended up giving them a $15.00 credit 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ #somuchsmh

When people have exhausted all their medical options and are desperate for a solution will they go and seek an integrative practitioner. The truth to their problem lies beyond social norms, Big Ag, FDA, & pharmaceuticals

#Endometriosis (pelvic pain, pain during sex, spotting, dysmenorrhea) can be a sign that parasites (pinworms, bacteria, etc.) have entered the uterus and Fallopian tubes. This can be treated effectively with herbal formulas.

I forgot that the video camera makes you look fat/adds 10lbs so I don’t need to be upset that I feel fit and feel good in and of myself ... while the camera in and of itself is badd for my tender/ changing self-image... #mindfilter #betender #begood #selfdiscovery #fitnessjourney

Going gluten-free or dairy-free or sugar-fee isn’t a suggestion to be cool, “healthy” seeming, or trendy. It’s to heal nutrient deficiencies and dysfunctions which are leading to other autoimmune conditions and diseases.

#Joint or #lowerbackpain is often from too much processed sugar like alcohol and ice cream in functional medicine. Patients can find a direct correlation to this with more ease having regular #acupuncture.

I find it so interesting that the #cicadas have come back during this pandemic. Cicada skins are a #Chineseherb that treat febrile disease.

I learned that three tablespoons of ketchup is equal to that of a Krispy Creme doughnut in sugar. Kinda blew my mind, kinda makes sense, kinda is gross. #aintnoketchinup #ketchup #krispykreme

If I don’t have time for a full, sweaty #workout, I do 10-15 minutes of abs, core, strength and flexibility work in the AM to give me that mood boost and keep my #thyroid in check. This is a great way to start on a consistent (and most importantly stress-free) fitness routine.

Breakfast and lunch meals (like meals i.e. contains a carb, fat, and protein- not snacks) are more important than dinner especially if you are struggling with #insomnia and #stress. Before doing any intermittent fasting or other things, let’s work on getting that metabolism up.

Those who have been raised by an abusive parent(s), worked with a narcissistic boss, or been through a toxic/narcissistic friendships or romances will need #acupuncture, nutrition, exercise, and therapy to combat a heightened nervous system response to #stress. #npdrecovery

Environmental stressors are unprecedented in this day and age. Nutrient poor soils (low nutrient-density foods), pesticides in food, stress, the affects of antibiotics, painkillers, other medications...satellite internet being invented not that long ago holds untold impact on us.

Poor digestion or little digestion (not eating ENOUGH food/and/or stressed) creates bloating. This is a symptom that often is because we are eating to little or have some other motility, gastric, or Rx issue. So many patients need acupuncture for this.

One of my favorite #fishtaco recipes for healthy fats, cruciferous cabbage, and protein. I would get organic corn tortillas or a healthy grain free tortilla if blood sugar issues: https://t.co/iTtBKo0RIE

If you’re waking up without an appetite, it’s a surefire sign that #cortisol is surging. The best way to regulate #stress (and #metabolism) is organic fresh foods thirty minutes to an hour after waking up.

What’s weird about having a smart phone is I will *think a thought* (thought is not spoken/received by phone’s microphone) and within 24 hours see an ad related to that thought on social. This has happened two times this week. What is going on.
