According to a recent poll conducted by Global Wellness Institute, more than 60 percent of Americans say Covid-19 has taken a toll on their mental and psychological well-being. Disorders such as trauma-related anxiety and depression, have long been treated by acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. According to TCM, there is no dualism between the body and therefore psychological stress can manifest physically and the other way around. We can treat the root cause of trauma embedd...ed in the Qi, blood and fluids as the patterns they leave on the organs and meridians. Heart and kidneys are most commonly associated with emotional well-being. When the heart is healthy, the mind is calm, focused and relaxed. When out of balance, there is restlessness, agitation and anxiety. Kidneys are grounding water organ and if they are out of balance, they can't constrain the fire of the heart and there is fear, anxiety, insomnia and stress.

You may have tried this ancient Chinese practice for pain relief or anxiety, but what about a natural facelift? Yup, that's right, cosmetic Acupuncture has garnered quite the following amongst celebrity fans as a natural alternative to Botox (Gwyneth Paltrow, Madeleine West, Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie included). Cosmetic Acupuncture is an ancient practice used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and dates back to China's Emperors. It was a common practice used by Geis...has and concubines (yep, it's the secret to why geishas skin looks so damn flawless), and it's still around today! Say goodbye to Botox, fillers, and all the stuff in between. This technique is entirely natural, safe, and relatively pain-free.

It's also great for helping with acne and other skin conditions. Already had Botox or fillers? No worries! Cosmetic Acupuncture can work around the beauty treatments you've already had, bringing out your natural beauty. .

Acupuncture is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has a history of over 2000 years. Due to its efficacy and safe application, acupuncture has been used widely as a treatment for pain disorders in western countries, including migraine, low back pain, and so on. In addition, along with the dissemination of acupuncture, other traditional medical systems have appeared, including Japanese Meridian Therapy, French Energetic Acupuncture, Korean Constitutional Ac...upuncture, and Lemington 5 Element Acupuncture. These therapies were influenced by TCM at the origin but developed uniquely in adaptation to its circumstance and culture with distinct features. According to classical acupuncture theory, it is believed that the disorder of visceral conditions and organs is reflected at specific points, either on the skin surface or underneath, which are generally called acupoints or Acupuncture Points. The concept of acupoints derived from Huangdi's Canon of Medicine (Huangdi Neijing) and The Great Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, which are believed to be the foundations of acupuncture. Stimulating at the acupoints modulates the body's physiology, such as lowering blood pressure, preventing arrhythmic recurrences, relieve functional dyspepsia (FD) symptoms, and improving life quality. .

My patients, especially if they're coming in for pain-related issues, know well how I feel about magnesium. I never make qualms about how essential this mineral is to the point that sometimes I'd insist that patients take it. LOL. I don't feel like that about any other supplement out there. I know how it feels when my magnesium levels drop, especially after prolonged or intense exercises. Muscles cramp up, tingling and numbness in the extremities, nausea, no thirst or appetit...e, pain, and let's not forget personality changes, not for the better, I'm here to tell you. Some health conditions that lower Magnesium levels, including blood sugar fluctuations, stress, insulin resistance, diarrhea & IBS, and many others. Magnesium absorption also decreases with age. Certain medications reduce magnesium, such as diuretics, proton pump inhibitor, antibiotics, birth control, and corticosteroids. . I highly recommend people check their levels with their physical ones once or twice a year. They should be above 1.8, ideally over 2.0. Below 1.3 is a severe deficiency. . Magnesium is abundant in food, but people can still be deficient even if they eat well, which we all know is not so realistic nowadays. .

America is supposed to be about freedom, but illness and fear render us less free. To be free is to become ourselves, to move through the world following our values and desires. Each of us has a right to pursue happiness and to leave a trace. Freedom is impossible when we are too ill to conceive of joy and too weak to pursue it. It is unattainable when we lack the knowledge we need to make meaningful choices, especially about health. So, hell yes!

If you're interested in cognitive performance, anti-aging, weight loss, or athletic performance, you should understand what insulin does. Insulin is a hormone that allows your body to use glucose. If you can't use glucose, your muscles, brain, organs, and other vital areas won't work to the full potential, so the body compensates by making more insulin. In response, cells decrease the number of their insulin receptors, making them less sensitive to insulin. It's like runnin...g on fewer cylinders. Your body starts to lose energy, store fat, and ages you at a higher rate. If you were told that it's genetic, this is not true. It's not genetic as far as it's not outside of your control. . Five major things cause insulin resistance: Excessive carbohydrate intake Low physical activity Lack of sleep Inflammation Stress . The good news, it is treatable. See your doctor.

Armenia . I want to express my support of my Armenian brothers and sisters in their struggle against Azerbaijan and Turkey. As most of you know, Turkey committed genocide that killed over a million and a half Armenians in 1915. Azerbaijan tried again in 1988 that led to the war from 1988 to 1994 that killed over 30,000 people on both sides. I was there and am a product of that conflict. I was 14 when Azeris attacked Armenians in Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh. I remember hav...ing to quickly learn to speak Azeri just in case we were stopped on the street and asked if we were Armenian and fearing what may happen. I remember gangs marching with signs Kill Armenians. I remember the Army blocking our road and my family barely escaping with just a suitcase each. We lost everything and had to start over from nothing, not once but twice. Luckily we ended up here in the US. But the experience of war, though traumatizing, shaped my belief that human life is fantastic and precious, yet fragile and that the war is awful. Yet the war is back. Innocent people are dying. The main difference this time is that Turkey is openly helping and egging Azerbaijan on. It is supplying it with drones, missiles, mercenaries, and know-how. It is a bully and must be stopped! Their ultimate goal is to erase Armenia off the map. I urge all of you to speak up and bring the attention of our politicians, media, and those in positions of influence to help the people of Armenia and to end this horrible conflict. #armenia #prayforarmenia See more

Metabolism means a transformation in Greek. Body’s ability to transform energy from the environment (sugar, proteins, fat, and oxygen) and make it your own (ATP) is essential for life to exist. Living organisms need the energy to run cellular processes and create proteins, lipids, nuclear acids and excrete metabolic waste. It’s your power plants, utilities, factories, waste, and recycling all combined in one. Call it an energy monopoly. So, if something goes haywire, it’s imp...ortant news. . 35 percent of Americans have it, and it’s called Metabolic Syndrome, and it has consequences: .

Food sensitivity tests measure your body’s immune system’s response to foods in your GI tract. They usually are accurate at measuring those markers, such as IgA and IgG. But this is misleading because this elevation can be expected and OR be a reflection of other underlying problems. They are also expensive and cost up to $500. . Here are some reasons that can make your food sensitivity test false positive: . Loss of standard tolerance (when your immune system becomes over-...reactive to everyday foods) Chronic infections, such as H. Pylori, SIBO, or even gingivitis regular, ongoing stress and elevation in cortisol levels Use of oral steroids, antibiotics, and steroids . So before you jump on the bandwagon or food sensitivities and start removing major foods and food groups from your diet, consider first seeing a doctor who understands this topic and can guide you in making the right decision. .

You may have low levels of SIgA levels. These are your antibody lining in your small intestine that protects against foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, and fungus and act as a cleanup system in your gut. When they’re low, the immune system overcompensates and can overreact to foods that it wouldn’t react to naturally. It also makes you vulnerable to bacteria, viruses, and yeast. Also known as loss of oral tolerance, this means that your immune system has become hyper...sensitive and no longer responds appropriately to foods. . To improve low SIgA levels, you should: . Address the depressed immune system and underlying health conditions such as chronic infections, chronic stress, and blood sugar fluctuations. Improve adrenal fatigue. Avoid hydrocortisone and steroid medications. Boost your immune health .

Finally, I'm not the one doing the talking!

I often have patients bring bags of supplements they’re taking, as many as 20 or 30 bottles sometimes. A doctor recommended one, a TV commercial, the other, and a friend swears by yet another, soon your counter looks like a pharmacy shelf and you wonder if you need to take them all and for how long. The idea is you’re doing something good for yourself, but in reality, it may be counterproductive, expensive, and sometimes even dangerous. . The first is redundancy. A lot of s...upplements have repeated ingredients from formula to formula and too often people double or even triple up on what they need. . Second, most products out there are crappy to begin with. I personally wouldn’t even consider taking 90 percent what’s out there; why should it be any different for you? You’re better off not taking most stuff out there. . Thirdly, the right way to implement supplements is not to use them for this or that condition, but to use them as tools to support specific biochemical pathways, deficiencies, and bodily needs. . The goal is to give your body what it needs when it needs it and adjust as things change. Your body is dynamic, so it should be the supplements you're taking! . Testing blood, urine, saliva, and stool and doctor’s experience help us see what supplements your body needs. .
