Our mindset and self perception can either help us achieve our goals or create self limitations that can work against us! How you see yourself ultimately affects how you think and behave. I hope that when you look in the mirror, you see all of your unlocked potential and believe in your ability to be your ideal self. ... #mindset #motivation #bethebestyou #optimalhealth #naturopathicdoctor #naturopathicmedicine See more

Illness doesn’t happen overnight and neither does health! The truth is healing takes time, consistency, determination and adaptability. I like to give my patients a 3 month time frame. This can vary depending on what we’re working on. But my goal is that in 3 months time you will feel a significant difference in your health. The best day to start is today! You’ll thank yourself later.... #prioritizeyourself #prioritizeyourhealth #optimalhealth #feelyourbest #healthwarrior #naturopathicdoctor #functionalmedicine #naturopathicmedicine #saturdaymotivation #losangelesdoctor #santamonica #hormonebalance #hormonalimbalance #thyroid #stress See more

() . Probiotics are one of the most commonly purchased supplements on the market. Understandable so, considering all the benefits found in the literature, including -countering the effects of some pathogenic toxins... -can balance the immune system -can prevent the development of allergies -increase the immune system of the gut -affect gut transit time -decrease systemic inflammation and alter metabolism The important thing to note is that not all probiotics have all the above mentioned actions. It’s important that you pay attention to the particular strains and the research available to treat a particular condition/symptom. For instance, a study by Happel, et al (2020) took 57 different lactobacilli strain from a group of women, and found varying degrees of effectiveness in treating bacterial vaginitis. Or studies have shown that Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG is superior in treating viral gastroenteritis in Majamaa, et al (1995) Most probiotics on the shelf are of the lactobacillus and bifidobacteria bacteria. When reaching for your next probiotic, pay attention to the characteristics of the particular strain, and that there are enough amount (CFU of each strain) upon consumption.
