Cutting out sugar and getting your blood sugar + weight managed right now is one of, if not THE BEST COVID PREVENTION STRATEGIES. This is an important #Repost from @drtyna. See her post for all the slides + deeper science. In summary: 1) Sugar tanks the immune system 2) high blood sugar ( diabetes/ prediabetes) and uncontrolled blood sugar issues may increase the viruses ability to infect your cells + contribute to the cytokine storm that is contributin...g to the deadliness of this virus. 3) blood sugar dysregulation contributes to more fat production + obesity. Fat cells are inflammatory machines + also increase the ACE2 receptors that allow the virus to infect your cells. It’s simple. It’s complex. It’s CoVid. Approximately 1/3 of the American population falls into the obese category + almost half have some sort of metabolic/blood sugar issue. Now is the time my friends. Ask yourself and your loved ones-Is your health house in order? If not, now is the time. And guess what- we ND’s are REALLY good with blood sugar stuff. It is not rocket science and our tools are very effective for managing blood sugar issues. Please DM me if you’d like help. That is what I am here for. See more

I’m not really sure what challenge I accepted. The only thing that was a challenge was finding the ‘right’ picture. So many amazing women in my life- friends, sisters, colleagues, patients. So grateful for your love + support + the impact your wisdom has on my world everyday. It took me a whole day to decide on what image to post- which side of myself to Capture + present. Because oh there are so many. So here’s to those who see these sides. Some of them. All of them. Here’...s to imperfection. Here’s to staying on the path. Here’s to healing. Always healing. Here’s to the medicine women and rabble rousers. The creatives. The funny ones. The quiet ones. The prolific ones. The diligent ones. The smart ones. The compassionate ones. The maternal ones. The truth seekers. If you see this post, consider it my #challengeaccepted invitation to you. Please post an image of yourself in black and white. Thank you @ecojuli_ @kitesbycarlamanuel and @bunnyskov for the invitation See more

Today’s mantra from the immortal words of George Michael. So.. how are you being good to yourself? In thought, in mind, in what you are eating, in how you are being, in words, in how you are spending your time, in how you are healing. #feelbetter

Poultices may be old school but are an incredibly effective and undervalued therapy in today’s modern medical world. Why: to relieve pain + inflammation, infection, tissue swelling and congestion, bringing cysts,boils and abscesses to a head, drawing out splinters,cactus spines or toxins. Anytime you want to pull something out of the body- especially if it is closed, sealed or partially closed with skin. What? Use clay or charcoal to pull stuff out. Various anti- micr...obial herbs like golden seal, anti-inflammatory herbs lime turmeric, astringent herbs like yarrow and vulnerary(skin healing ) herbs like calendula + goldenseal. Make a paste with the different ingredients, slap it on there for at least 6 hours + let the magical healing power of nature begin #oldschoolmedicine #herbalmedicine #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathicdoctor #getwitchy #pain #infection #inflammation #feelbetter #naturopathiclife #naturopathiclifestyle #oldschoolisnewschool See more

An eco-friendly, non-toxic hand, body and surface sanitizer. I love this stuff! Especially at a time when people are using more and more toxic disinfectants + sanitizers which is crappy for our health + immune systems + indoor air quality. I spray it everywhere- on my face + mask, glasses, furniture, surfaces. I learned about @briotechusa from my friend @environmentaltoxinsnerd So what is HOCl ( hypochlorous acid)? HOCl is a natural part of our internal defense system, pro...duced by white blood cells. When produced outside the body, HOCl is an electrolyzed, antimicrobial, biocide solution that inactivates pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, spores, and fungi. I use this spray as a hand sanitizer, spray it on surfaces, on my mask, face, eyes. I love it. Works to fight infection, control responses to injury, and enhance healing. While I wash my hands a lot, this is way less drying and definitely nicer on the skin than alcohol based hand sanitizers. You can also diffuse it to purify the air. Only BRIO HOCL has been proven to eliminate the world’s most dangerous and hardiest pathogen Part of the healthy response to injury and recovery HOCl consistently shows no adverse effects and doesn’t irritate or aggravate tissue.There is no bubbling or tingling sensation, unlike many other topically applied solutions. It helps to heal the skin Safe for use on humans and animals Link in bio to get yours! I started with a few 2 oz bottles to keep in my car, purse and in the clinic and a 16 oz refill. #nontoxic #ecofriendly #sanitizer #naturalsolution #iloveit. #feelbetter #allnatural #apothecory See more
