From both Western and Chinese medical perspectives, #GutHealth is crucial to the wellbeing of the whole body - from immune health to emotional health. #FermentedFoods are a great way to support a healthy #microbiome. Check out this super yummy recipe from my Flourish Integrative Health colleague, Hannah Perlkin.

Up to 50% of #fertility problems are due to male issues, y’all. That’s both completely obvious and completely shocking. . For those that want to improve #sperm health from home // For those whose fertility journey is on hold because of COVID craziness // For those that just want to learn about #malefertility look no further. . flourishintegrativehealth.com/fromhome... . In part 2 of the @flourish_integrative_health #FertilityFromHome video series, I share my theory on why we’ve seen surprisingly good results in our fertility couples whose male partner receives treatment. I dig into the research around the steep decline in male fertility over the past half century, and the efforts that men can make from home to take control of their fertility and optimize their sperm health. Relevant even to men who have had normal sperm analysis results, this video touches on evidence-based factors that impact sperm health, as well as the holistic insight into male fertility from the two-thousand years of wisdom that Chinese medicine brings to the table.

Flourish sends a huge Happy Mothers Day shout out to the moms holding it down in quarantine. Not easy times. * We also want to acknowledge those for whom Mother...s Day is complicated and painful. Those who have lost their moms - those who have lost their children - those who have had miscarriages - those who are still on their journey to become a mom. We are thinking of all of you today, and sending you extra love! <3 See more

I’ve been using #curiosity to inspire #mindfulness on my neighborhood walks recently. It’s helping to keep the #stress and #anxiety at bay. Learn about mindfulness, and how to turn your walks into a time of deep #selfcare.

#NationalInfertilityAwarenessWeek feels particularly poignant this year, given that so many fertility patients have had to put their journey on hold with the cl...osure of fertility clinics due to #covid19. Those of us at #FlourishIntegrativeHealth have been so fortunate to be able to continue to support #fertility patients through virtual consults - with guidance that they can continue to follow from home, so that this feels like productive time rather than lost time. . We are working hard to release a three-part video series within the next week or so, to provide all fertility patients with suggestions that they can follow from their own homes to keep their fertility journey on track. Keep your eyes peeled (and your chin up!). . . . . #nationalinfertilityawareness #health #wellness #chinesemedicine #naturopathy #naturalmedicine #malefertility #femalefertility #infertility #santarosa #sonomacounty #coronavirus #niaw #niaw2020 See more

Check out this awesome offering from the wonderful massage therapist at Flourish. Thank you for putting this together, Rose Deni!

For my peeps in the SF Bay Area! Our frontline healthcare workers are in dire need. And, to the wonderful acupuncturists still seeing patients, please do not use one mask per patient for non-symptomatic patients - our community can't afford that rate of resource consumption right now, please consider sharing your bounty with the frontline workers instead! Thank you.

Who has unused N95 masks? Our medical providers are in need! Just drop them in the bins outside Memorial hospital. Thank you!Who has unused N95 masks? Our medical providers are in need! Just drop them in the bins outside Memorial hospital. Thank you!
