🩸Are you wondering what to do about your long periods?

It is advisable to consult your healthcare provider about your long periods so that you can get the proper treatment. If you have a period that lasts 8 or more days every now and then don’t let it alarm you. Instead, use a “watch and wait” approach.

✏️📅 Record your cycles monthly and track the length of your periods so that you can determine if your periods are becoming longer over time.

If you notice a pattern that they are becoming progressively longer, you have 3 consecutive long periods, or 3 of the last 6 periods are long, book an appointment with a physician. It is important to get assessed and diagnosed so that the underlying cause can be addressed and adverse outcomes can be avoided.

Happy cycling!

🤔 What is ovulation bleeding and spotting?

Ovulation occurs when the egg is release from the o***y. Leading up to ovulation, estrogen levels rise preparing for the follicle to release.

🩸 Ovulation bleeding is typically caused my a slight drop is estrogen levels right before ovulation, which can trigger the endometrium lining to shed a little, resulting in minor spotting. Only about 5% of women experience ovulating bleeding.

This type of spotting is light bleeding that occurs within 1-2 days of ovulation. Some women experience it monthly, while others will only experience it every now and then. Some women do not experience ovulation spotting at all.

🌟 Ovulation bleeding is much lighter than a normal period. The spotting can be so light that the blood is mixed with cervical mucus, rathe than free flowing.

This creates a light pink or dark brown appearance to your cervical mucus.

Whether you get ovulation bleeding or not, you can still get pregnant, as long as you are ovulating. 🤰🏻

Thinking about growing your family?

Preconception planning begins well before the positive test. Your fertility foundation is built months in advance—especially if you have conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, hypothyroidism, autoimmunity, or a previous history of infertility.

✨ Here’s how to start preparing now:

📅 Book your Initial Fertility Consultation
We’ll begin baseline bloodwork, cycle tracking, and fertility-focused medical assessment.

🧬 Plan at least 3 months before TTC
It takes ~90 days for an egg to mature, and this is the window where nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted supplements have the most impact.

⏳ Consider a 6-month runway if you have:
• PCOS
• Endometriosis
• Thyroid conditions
• Autoimmune disease
• Past infertility (even with a different partner)

🍎 What we cover in your fertility visits:
• Complete health + reproductive history
• Baseline testing (hormones, thyroid, nutrient status, metabolic markers, ovarian reserve where indicated)
• Lifestyle foundations
• Nutrition and supplementation planning
• Personalized, targeted treatment based on lab results (Visit #2 - Activation & Lab Review Visit)

Take the guesswork out of fertility prep. Your future self will thank you.

Hair loss is such a distressing symptom... 🙇🏻‍♀️

The top priority is determining:
1️⃣ The TYPE of hair loss
2️⃣ The underlying CAUSE

Get TESTED! 🔎

As a naturopathic doctor I can help by doing
✅ A physical exam - your hair and scalp needs to be examined
✅ Diagnostic tests - this will help determine the underlying cause

Not everyone needs every test, but after discussing your pattern of hair loss we will narrow down the possible underlying causes.

⚠️ Thyroid dysfunction - autoimmune thyroid dysfunctions like Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Graves’ disease, as well as non-autoimmune hypothyroidism all cause hair loss.

⚠️ Nutrient deficiencies - iron, zinc, selenium, vitamin D are important for follicle health and hair regeneration. Insufficient in your diet can also cause hair loss over time.

⚠️ PCOS and high androgens - high testosterone and DHEA can cause androgenic alopecia.

⚠️ High cortisol and stress hormones - high stress can deplete nutrients and cause an increase in hair loss.

⚠️ Medications - starting and stopping medications can worsen hair loss. Common culprits are the birth control pill, antidepressants, anticoagulants, NSAIDs, immune system suppressants, and steroids.

⚠️ Hormonal transitions - the post part period often causes significant amounts of hair loss. Similarly hair loss can occur after a miscarriage, and in menopause.

Ready to begin uncovering the root cause of your hair loss? Book a Discovery Call. I would be happy to answer your questions, investigate, and support you on your journey to slowing the loss and enhancing new hair growth. 👩🏻‍⚕️✨

🤔 Is there a connection between Vitamin D and hair loss?

Vitamin D is an important nutrient that is essential to our health. ☀️

💫 It boosts immunity, keeps bones strong and skin healthy, stimulates cell growth, and helps create new hair follicles.

You absorb Vitamin D through sun exposure primarily, which is why it is particularly hard to get enough in the winter. You can take a supplement and eat specific foods to up your intake when sun exposure is lacking.

⚠️ Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to a number of other health conditions including low bone density, bone softening, osteoarthritis, heart disease, cancer, and hair loss, called alopecia.

Stay tuned for part 2 to learn what research shows about the connection between vitamin D and hair loss!

Out of Office 🌿

I’ll be away from May 1–6 and will not be available to respond to messages during this time. If you need support, please contact the clinic at info@lunahealthclinic.com and one of our doctors will be happy to assist you.

All non-urgent messages will be responded to in order of priority once I return next week.

This time away is especially meaningful for me — I’m taking a moment to celebrate some deeply personal milestones:
✨ 12 years in my relationship
✨ 7 years of marriage
✨ The closing of a 2-year breastfeeding chapter with my son
✨ My first trip away from my toddler
✨ Luna was “born” 4 years ago!

I’m looking forward to reconnecting, creating new memories, enjoying live music, good food, and meaningful time together. Without my husband none of my relationship, family, or professional accomplishments would be where they are today. Looking forward to celebrating with my rock 🪨. Thank you Taylor 🫶🏻.

Thank you for your understanding and support 🤍
