Group Detox: Join me on September 7th!

Summer is winding down. Labor day has come and gone. There’s a slight chill to the air and it’s time to get back on track with fall routines. What better time to do a cleanse!

Here’s the info for the cleanse, I’d love to have you join me!
Kick-off Fall: 21-day Whole Body Cleanse : Initial meeting on Saturday September 7th, 2pm. Cleanse start date to be individually determined.

What are the benefits of cleansing?
We are continually exposed to harmful substances all the time in our diet (pesticides, microbes, and metals) and the air we breathe. Our bodies do a pretty great job on a daily basis of eliminating toxin exposure. Cleansing is a strategy that helps support your body’s natural ability to rid itself of toxins.
Potential benefits of this program:
• Combat seasonal allergies
• Identify food sensitivities
• Food cravings decreased or eliminated
• Weight loss (last group cleanse had greatest loss was 11.8 pounds/3 weeks and average weight loss: 2 pounds/week)
• Increased energy and focus
• Improved sleep
• Better bowel habits
• Learn how to eat real food
• Rejuvenation from the inside out

What do I eat?
Your cleansing program will include specific foods from the major food groups: vegetables, fruits, protein sources including vegetarian and non vegetarian sources, grains, and oils. In addition to eating a diet that is not only filling and satisfying, you will be supplementing your diet with protein and herbs that support the bodys ability to detoxify and cleanse. This includes liver and bowel support. It involves eating whole foods that are packed with nutrients that can help boost the activity of the enzymes and nourish the body’s most important detoxifying organs—the liver, the lungs, the kidneys, and the colon—so they can do their jobs better and more efficiently.

Why 21 days?
21 days is the time the body needs to desensitize from any outside food allergens and create new habits. Shorter programs can be a quick jumpstart, but may not provide the lasting benefits or insights gained from doing a 21 day cleanse.

What do I receive and what is the cost?
You will receive:
• All supplements for the duration of the program and recipe booklet
• Four, hour long group consultation and education sessions
• Pre and post cleanse body composition analysis. The body composition scale uses foot-to-foot BIA technology (Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis) to measure fat mass, fat free mass, fat %, total body water, BMR and Desirable Ranges.
• Cost is $295

Additional Options:
• Add resting metabolic rate analysis (to be scheduled separately): Resting metabolic rate (RMR) determines your bodys caloric needs based on your energy expenditure measured from your breath. The RMR test takes approximately 10 minutes to complete in the office.
• Add food sensitivity testing and initial 30 minute one on one consultation for a completely customized cleanse experience. This must be scheduled and completed by August 30th.  Food sensitivity tests for antigens to 154 foods. Our 30 minute individual session will tailor the cleanse to your individual health needs.

Estrogen dominance, or unopposed estrogen, is a th Estrogen dominance, or unopposed estrogen, is a theory in which the level of estrogen outweighs the level of progesterone and other hormones in the body. Picture a seesaw. Estrogen is the person high in the air looking down at the progesterone (and other hormones)- sitting at the other end with their feet on the ground.

Our bodies need estrogen for reproductive, cardiovascular, and bone health. Estrogen is a very important hormone! Too much estrogen, however, can be linked to an assortment of conditions like: 
- Heavy periods
- Migraines
- Water retention 
- Fibrocystic breasts
- Uterine fibroids 
- Endometriosis
- Mood swings 
- Hormonal weight gain

High estrogen can be caused by certain medications, excess body fat, stress, alcohol, liver issues, and synthetic xenoestrogens, so some dietary and lifestyle changes may be needed to correct your hormone levels. And, what about supporting the other hormones? Picture the seesaw again. We can support healthy progesterone production with dietary and lifestyle changes as well!

There are few health conditions as frustrating to There are few health conditions as frustrating to address and correct as acne.

Courses of antibiotics, dozens of topicals, spironolactone, supplements, and the birth control pill are the main treatments most of my patients have tried before they come to me. While some may be effective, you might be still wondering: is there a way to heal my skin once and for all and not have to use this stuff?

Acne is so frustrating for many because it seems like there are a million things you could be trying. So, what are some NATURAL first steps you can take if you are struggling with acne?

1) Get your hormone levels checked. Knowing if you have any hormone imbalances can help your doctor to cater your treatment plan to your specific needs.

2) Address your gut health. Your gut is the foundation of your health and can be closely tied to skin issues.

3) Try going dairy free. I’ve found this is one food group that can be especially problematic for people that suffer with acne. The thing to know is that you have to avoid it for at least 30 days and also that in the future, you can probably have at least some dairy back. It’s usually not a forever restriction.

If you have questions about your struggles with acne, leave a comment below or send me a DM. I’d love to chat about potential solutions and help you get to the bottom of your skin concerns.
It’s time for another Sunday Supplement highligh It’s time for another Sunday Supplement highlight! Today, we’re talking about Magnesium Glycinate.

Magnesium Glycinate is a supplement that increases magnesium levels. Magnesium is vital in regulating muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure. It may also be helpful in the making of bone, protein, and DNA. 

I love magnesium glycinate because it is one of the easiest forms of magnesium supplementation for the body to absorb. It is also gentle on the digestive tract which means it is less likely to cause undesirable side effects such as an upset stomach or loose stool. 

Magnesium glycinate might be especially helpful for you if you suffer from:
- High blood pressure or heart disease
- Type 2 diabetes
- Osteoporosis
- Migraine headaches
- Depression

Do you have more questions about magnesium glycinate? Leave a comment below, or shoot me a DM and we can chat!
