Hi everyone and Happy Friday! ☀️

Let me just start by saying motherhood has been a beautiful, wild ride so far. Juggling a new business and career while also navigating this new life has been more difficult than I thought but more rewarding than I’ve ever imagined.

I am back with a new perspective and hope to share this new journey with all of you. My goal for the remaining year is to continue to educate you all on naturopathic medicine while also shedding light on the reality of a working mama. 👩‍👦

My online booking is available (link in bio)!

Stay tuned for some new content and new services! 🍃

Looking forward to being back and have some new and exciting things coming this year! 🙏🏽

Maternity Leave 🤰🏽

I think I am still processing that this baby is coming very soon! 🙈

Maternity leave looks a little different for the self-employed and is not necessarily a set amount of time! As of this Thursday February 2nd I will officially be on my leave to have a few days to get ready for this next chapter. ✨

Most patients have been informed of the plan but just letting the rest of you know. Dr. Barry () will be covering a couple of days a month for me so that you all can have continued care. You can book online with her here:
https://colleenlehnertnd.janeapp.com

My hope is to be back to see you all in May (could even be sooner) but we can’t predict what Baby Walls will bring us!
•

If you have any questions please reach out to me and I will do my best to get back to you!

Thank you again to all my patients who have followed me on this wild journey and looking forward to rebuilding and growing soon again! ✨

Pregnancy: what do I need!?🤰🏽

This is a common question I get from patients looking to conceive or who are already pregnant! What should I be taking? Is this prenatal good enough?
•
•
So I figured I’d start with the top recommended supplements during your pregnancy.

1️⃣High quality prenatal: When I say high quality - I really want to emphasize this. Many prenatals out there are on the lower end of the daily recommended allowance (RDA) and although they will get the job done - sometimes we just want better. Stay tuned for a post specifically about what to watch for in your prenatal.
*Note: folate in the form of 5-MTHFR is your top form. We should be supplementing with this either through your prenatal or it’s own supplement!

2️⃣ Vitamin D: Optimal Vitamin D status during pregnancy can actually reduce your risk of gestational diabetes, prevents osteoporosis, asthma and even low birth weight. And we know the benefit on our immune system as well. Get that sunshine vitamin into you! ☀️

3️⃣ Omega-3: Get that good oil! During pregnancy and post partum - many females complain of “baby/mommy brain” - this is a real thing. Baby is taking a lot from you and your own brain for optimal development. One of the things we focus on here is replenishing DHA during and after birth. So an Omega with a higher amount of DHA is preferred! Great to take during pregnancy and definitely post partum. Supplementing with omega-3 during pregnancy can even have a positive effect on your little ones IQ! 🤓

4️⃣ Probiotic: We all know how great a good probiotic can be for our gut health - but it’s also key for optimal vaginal health! We often recommend starting a probiotic in your third trimester to get that microbiome ready to give birth to a healthy babe!

❗️Remember, these are highly recommended but don’t stress if you haven’t or didn’t supplement with these. Your little ones are strong and are going to do just fine!

Save this post for future use!

Happy Sunday! ✨

I was going to wait until tomorrow to do a post but this is too exciting! 😄

You can now get access to your OWN bloodwork. This is huge for us NDs in the community because typically we need to request a copy which often takes time - which means treatment plans get delayed. Now we will be able to check these out in your appointment!

‼️Remember - it’s best to have a healthcare provider look at your results. Sometimes having access to this can be scary but be sure to check in with your healthcare team - and not just Dr. Google if you see something flagged!

But I am very excited and couldn’t wait to share the news! 🙏🏽

VITAMIN B12 INJECTIONS💉

Vitamin B12 plays key roles in DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, homocysteine metabolism, and synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (some big words). It is also involved in the functioning of the nervous system and immune system!

B12 deficiency is fairly common in our population due to lack of intake through diet or just a lack of absorption in general due to digestive concerns.

Typically when we see a patient is deficient, a supplement or injection is recommended. If we are concerned with absorption issues, then our best option is injection. This bypasses the liver and digestive systems and gets directly into our bloodstream, bringing levels up more quickly and efficiently. Which means - you feel better sooner! 👌🏽

Common symptoms of low B12:
▪️Fatigue
▪️Low moods
▪️Neuropathy pain
▪️ Anxiety and/or depression
▪️Migraines
▪️Postpartum Depression
….and many more.

Remember - it’s best to get tested and find out if you are deficient! Ask your healthcare provider to check your levels. And if you do remember some recent posts - “normal” is not always optimal!

💉Now available .chi

2022 - to say it’s been a year, may not be enough. ✨

Change is good right? Well, this year was full of it! I’ve had the last week off to try to decompress from the craziness and really process what 2022 brought to me and what 2023 has in store.

Not only have I been growing a human since June (still blows my mind that our bodies are capable of this 👶🏼), but I also took a leap of faith and opened my own practice alongside the most supportive business partner, (everyone needs a Jillian in their life!).

Am I terrified of what this next year is going to bring? I’ll admit - I am. But new chapters are what life is about right?

So to all of my patients - thank you for your continued support, I know I have been quiet on social media but I hope to dive back in and take you all along this new journey!

And a huge thank you to all my family and friends, and my partner for all of your support this year.

Happy New Year and here’s to the newest and biggest chapter in 2023! ✨

✨OUT OF OFFICE✨

I will be away from the office until November 29th! We decided we needed a little time to recharge - a “baby moon” if you will. 👶🏼

I will be back to work on Wednesday November 30th to take on the rest of 2022!
If you need to contact please call or email and leave a detailed message and I will do my best to reach you. 🍃

Have a great weekend everyone! Looking forward to seeing you all.
