    • Ok this is the second time in 2019 that I was billed extra at my annual wellness visit - one for physical and one for OBGYN for asking a question related to my health deemed outside of the scope of the appointment. They ask you “do you have any questions or concerns?” At this I asked if I could get my progesterone level checked and a quick answer of why that would not be helpful- that was billed an extra 10 minutes of the doctors time, $46! If that’s the case I think they need to make that clear. Unbelievable😱😡. What do you think? At my physical I mentioned my sleep hadn’t been as good as in the past and that was billed extra as well. All respect to the doctors but the whole system seems flawed. I fought both and do not plan to ask any questions next time 🤷🏻‍♀️. I’m completely over conventional medicine and hope we see a future of functional medicine being covered by insurance. #becarefulwhatyouask #donotaskquestions #functionalmedicine
    • Adolescent girls with higher levels of BPA are more likely to be diagnosed with PCOS - polycystic ovary syndrome. PCOS may cause very irregular cycles or excess androgen (male hormone) levels contributing to facial hair and acne. It can affect fertility and symptoms can be masked by taking medications or birth control. There are over 700 chemicals that mimic estrogen including those found in canned foods, plastics, personal care products and pesticides. Reducing exposures to these chemicals is very important starting in the womb 👶🏼. How do you avoid these chemicals?
    • Long distance female runners and female ballet dancers are commonly found to have very low body fat percentages which can affect fertility. Fat is a source of estrogen, and body fat was linked with menstrual regularity and ovulation years ago. Integrative doctors will recommend cutting back on mileage and activity which usually helps females to put on body fat and become more regular. If you know a female athlete with very low body fat who is trying to conceive, share the connection between the two! 🤰🏼
    • I bought the most lovely bunch of golden beets at the farmers market 🥬 yesterday and have never seen such large greens! I usually throw them away since they are so tiny, but these are huge and I sautéed them like spinach. 🙌🏻 Beets! Beets are great for detoxifying the liver and their greens are an added bonus for getting all of those phytonutrients from green leafy veggies into your diet! Have you tried your beet greens?

    • Going barefoot is great for kids (and adults) starting from birth. Barefoot running became popular over the last two decades as well. Going barefoot helps kids to gain strength in their legs and a natural gait, while being in touch with their senses and increasing body awareness. It is important for balance in toddlers learning to walk as well! Do you let your kids go barefoot? Have you tried barefoot running?
