Cut out the sugar!!! Limit caffeine significantly. Build muscle. Sweat. Avoid toxic products—bath and beauty, cleaning agents, laundry detergents. Get off pharmaceuticals. Eat real food. Fast once a week. Prioritize sleep hygiene.

If your OBGYN is recommending a hysterectomy please work with someone knowledgeable of a root cause approach. The symptoms for which a hysterectomy is being advised have root causes. Your typical OBGYN wasn’t taught about root causes.

Most people have had fasting glucose checked, but very few have had fasting insulin measured.
Checking fasting insulin takes a proactive approach.
Insulin is not just a blood sugar hormone. It is also deeply connected to your stress physiology.

Is your provider running labs to diagnose you or to truly help you?

Is the goal of testing to adjust your medication or to identify what is driving the problem?

Are your labs being viewed through a normal lens or an optimal one?

These are the questions we should be asking.

More supplements do not equal more healing.

Somewhere along the way, comprehensive care became confused with complexity. Expensive protocols started masquerading as depth. And overwhelm started being sold as personalization.

If your health plan is 90% pills and 0% physiology…
it’s not functional medicine.
And some very large companies are making a lot of money off this.

You don’t have a Monjauro, metformin, or berberine deficiency. Here are other culprits/root causes below.

@kacdnp91 Vaccines are a witch’s brew of poison meant to harm. You’ll never convince me otherwise.

[Dr. Amy Beard @AmyBeard_MD]

@richardursomd Ivermectin is still a pharmaceutical drug.
It is not natural, it is not addressing the root cause, and it is now being used far beyond what it was ever designed for.

[Dr. Amy Beard @AmyBeard_MD]

@DrBPHealth This is the difference between using a lab marker to diagnose/label versus using a lab marker to prevent disease.

[Dr. Amy Beard @AmyBeard_MD]

@chrisboettcher9 Agreed. Suppressing appetite without addressing root causes while accepting significant long-term risk is not medicine. It’s a shortcut with a cost (one big pharma is making billions off of).

Protect your mind! You can be aware of the evil in this world without looking at images or hearing and reading about it every day. Wikileaks was very disturbing to me 10 years ago, and I refuse to revisit all that. And I’m pretty sure God doesn’t want me to either.
