The human species is designed to eat a minimum of 7 servings of vegetables per day and if we don’t consume that, we are nutritionally deficient … literally starving ourselves of micro and macro nutrients … and if we’re nutritionally deficient, it means that our bodies not able function optimally, cleanup and eliminate everything we need to, kill viruses / parasites and ensure that we’re living our most optimal healthy amazing life. So what I do every day is gamify what i eat and challenge myself to add as many vegetables onto my plate and eat them in every meal. Sometimes I completely fail but this morning I succeeded. 

How are you feeling today? What are you doing on a daily basis to ensure that you’re feeling amazing?

I find what i do today, impacts me tomorrow.

To think 🤔 that we can prevent aging and dying early with such simple solutions… https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1D37ePTB3j/?mibextid=wwXIfr

This is why I walk in the early morning sun (exercise + vit d + resets my circadian rhythm), I boost my vit d when I’m exposed to stress or near sick 🤒 people), I take omega fish oils daily, I boost my vit Bs with activated vit B supplements (the activated element is really important because i have discovered that i have a genetic MTHR disorders which means my body can’t methylate vitamin Bs from the food I consume correctly, so its important to supplement - especially when I’m tired, stressed out or too sick to want to do it - that’s when it’s the most important to do it.)

So what are YOU doing??

It's the little things, the small changes that can make a HUGE difference to your health. These small things can either make a positive or negative impact.

Here's a concrete example of my small mistake I made yesterday, that had a BIG impact on my health and how I felt for the whole day (ended up in bed or on the couch for the day).

Yesterday I decided to "treat" myself to having some tonic water. I ended up drinking a bottle or so (whoops)😳. The result, loud tinnitus (ringing noise in head) and headaches that turned into a migraine.
Feeling much better this morning, I feed my medical history (eg daily aspirin) into AI and asked "would quinine cause issues for this patient (note she is taking 100mg aspirin daily)".
The long result I got back shocked me ... needless to say I will not be taking Indian tonic water or quinine (one of the ingredients in Indian tonic water) ever again.

The important question is, what small thing can you take out, replace, or add in to your life, that will make a HUGE difference to your health, how you feel and changes how you show up in the world?

THIS is huge - as a female over 35yo you need to know this. If you know of any female over 35 you love, understand there is a reason why they are acting as they are, It’ NOT their fault its actually a physical chemical imbalance! Let them know … share this.
Now look up what symptoms a lack of those neurochemicals can cause.
The next question 🙋‍♀️ is WHAT can we do about it?

This makes so much sense why I felt so much better (mentally in control again) after my integrative GP had prescribed me GABA.
Loving your work Dr Mindy Peltz!

Being deficient in vitamin D, (which you get from sunshine ☀️ ) can increase your risk of dementia by 40%

So I’m  i’m off for a walk in the sunshine to get some of that vitamin D. If you can’t get out, supplementation of vitamin D works as well!

I love this Oscar Patel's story ... if you know of someone (esp a teen) struggling with acne or is concerned about their looks, I think it is super positive to give the power back to the individual – teaching them they have full control to change their appearance in a positive and healthy way (eating healthy, facial exercises, healthy living). The proof is in the before and after shots! https://www.instagram.com/_oscarpatel_/reels/

A meta-analysis from 2018 and a more recent 2023 study found a roughly 75% increased risk of dementia with SSRIs (antidepressants).
If you’re worried about dementia or Alzheimer’s, it’s a really good idea to find an alternate to taking an SSRI.

Antidepressants are the most commonly and widely used medication for its effectiveness in the treatment of anxiety and depression. A few epidemiological studies have documented that antidepressant is associated with increased risk of dementia so ...
