Most of us think debilitating period pain is just "being a woman." But here's what endometriosis actually looks like… 😳

Endometriosis Signs (That No One's Telling Black Women About):

✨ Severe cramps that stop your day - not just discomfort, but pain that keeps you from work or school
✨ Constant bloating or "endo belly" - looking pregnant by evening
✨ Pain during intimacy - making s*x uncomfortable or impossible
✨ Back pain around your cycle - radiating through your lower back and legs
✨ Exhaustion that feels hormonal - fatigue that goes beyond normal tiredness
✨ Trouble getting pregnant - endometriosis affects 30-50% of women with infertility

If this sounds familiar, you've been living with dismissed symptoms for so long you think it's normal. It's not.

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I don't dismiss your pain as "bad cramps." We investigate with comprehensive hormone testing, inflammatory marker assessment, and specialist referrals when needed. We also address the underlying inflammation making symptoms worse.

No filter. No judgment. Just tea… 🍵

I've heard some WILD things doctors and "experts" have told Black women to do for hair loss, and I need to know I'm not alone in this.

Some gems I've heard:

- "Just wear wigs and accept it"
- "Stop being so stressed" (with zero help managing stress)
- "It's genetic, nothing you can do"
- "Try this $300 serum I'm selling."
- "Cut all your hair off and start over"
- "You need to wash it more/less" (pick one, they can't decide)

Meanwhile, nobody is testing your iron, thyroid, hormones, or gut health, the ACTUAL causes of hair loss.

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I investigate what's really happening inside your body instead of giving surface-level advice that doesn't work.

Drop your story below, I'm all ears. Be honest 👇🏾

The metabolism mistake 90% of Black women are making will shock you… 😳

It's chronic stress keeping your cortisol elevated 24/7.

Here's what's really happening:

- Your body thinks it's in constant danger
- Elevated cortisol signals "store fat, especially around the midsection"
- Your thyroid slows down to conserve energy
- Insulin resistance develops from stress hormones
- Leptin stops working, making you always hungry

The sources of chronic stress Black women face:

- Workplace discrimination and microaggressions
- Medical gaslighting and dismissal
- Being the "strong friend" for everyone
- Financial pressure and caretaking responsibilities
- Generational trauma affecting your nervous system

You can eat perfectly and exercise daily, but if your stress hormones are dysregulated, your metabolism stays broken.

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I test your cortisol patterns throughout the day, assess adrenal function, and create protocols to regulate your stress response - not just tell you to "relax more."

What doctors won't tell you about long-term birth control use could be destroying your hormones right now… 😳

Birth control doesn't "balance" hormones - it suppresses them. And while it can be helpful short-term, long-term use creates problems nobody warns you about.

What happens over time:

- Your body stops producing its own hormones naturally
- Nutrient deficiencies develop (B vitamins, magnesium, zinc)
- Gut health deteriorates, affecting hormone metabolism
- Thyroid function can become suppressed
- When you stop, your body struggles to restart hormone production

Signs birth control is harming you:

- Zero s*x drive or emotional numbness
- Weight gain that won't budge
- Chronic yeast infections or gut issues
- Depression or anxiety that wasn't there before
- Hair thinning or skin problems

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I help women transition off birth control safely by supporting their body's natural hormone production, healing nutrient deficiencies, and restoring gut health BEFORE stopping.

Iron deficiency is quietly stealing healthy hair from so many Black women, but almost nobody is talking about it… 💔

Here's what most people don't know:

- Iron is essential for carrying oxygen to your scalp and hair follicles
- When your iron levels drop, your body focuses on vital organs first, leaving your hair last in line

Doctors often blame hair loss on stress or genetics, but low iron literally starves your hair follicles of the oxygen and nutrients they need to grow. This leads to shedding, thinning, and slow growth.

Why Black women are at higher risk:

- Heavy periods and fibroids causing blood loss
- Issues absorbing nutrients from gut imbalances
- Plant-based diets without proper iron optimization
- Chronic inflammation affecting iron utilization

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I help women get to the root cause using targeted lab testing - not just basic bloodwork, but the right markers that reveal hidden iron deficiency like ferritin, TIBC, and iron saturation.

Traditional cancer care moves fast: surgery, chemo, radiation… and then you’re sent on your way.

But for Black women, that’s rarely the full story…👀

Most of the system never asks why cancer developed in the first place, or how you’re supposed to rebuild your health after treatment.

Chronic inflammation, toxin exposure, hormone imbalance, nutritional gaps, and unaddressed stress can all play a role in making your body more vulnerable 💜

That’s where functional medicine steps in. Instead of only treating the tumour, we search for the root causes and hidden triggers that traditional care often overlooks.

My approach focuses on:

✔️ Restoring nutrient stores
✔️ Healing your gut
✔️ Supporting your immune system
✔️ Building long-term resilience

If you want support that treats more than just the diagnosis, comment HEALTH and I’ll send you my free diagnosis quiz so you can start supporting your healing journey step by step.

If your scalp is always dry, flaky, or your hair just won't grow, the real problem might be deeper than any product can reach… 💇🏾‍♀️

For Black women, the health of their scalp and hair depends on what's happening inside their bodies, especially their levels of iron and vitamin D.

Here's what's really happening:

- Iron supports healthy blood flow to your scalp, delivering oxygen and nutrients your hair follicles need
- Vitamin D helps control cell growth and natural oil production that keeps your scalp comfortable
- Heavy periods and fibroids cause iron deficiency in many Black women
- Gut absorption issues prevent proper nutrient uptake
- Limited sun exposure affects vitamin D levels

What most people miss:
When you're deficient in these nutrients, your scalp becomes dry and irritated, and your hair struggles to grow no matter what products you use.

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I help women get to the bottom of stubborn scalp and hair issues using advanced lab testing to find and fix their unique nutrient gaps.

Why 90% of women can't lose weight despite doing everything perfectly will shock you… 😱

Sign 1: You lose weight, then immediately gain it back
This screams leptin resistance. Your brain can't recognize when you're full, so it thinks you're starving and slows your metabolism to conserve energy.

Sign 2: You gain weight around your midsection despite eating well
Classic cortisol dysfunction. Chronic stress keeps your body in fat-storage mode, especially around your belly, where cortisol receptors are concentrated.

Sign 3: You feel exhausted after workouts instead of energized
Your thyroid and adrenals are likely compromised. When these systems are struggling, exercise becomes another stressor instead of a metabolism booster.

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I don't just tell you to "eat less and move more." We test:
✅ Leptin and insulin sensitivity
✅ Cortisol patterns throughout the day

✅ Complete thyroid function (not just TSH)
✅ S*x hormones affecting metabolism

When your hormones are balanced, weight loss becomes effortless. Your body finally feels safe enough to release stored fat.

High blood pressure runs in so many Black families, but it's time to break the myth that it's only about genetics… 💔

What's on your plate and how you live every day have a far bigger impact than your DNA.

The real culprits:

- Processed foods high in sodium and preservatives
- Chronic stress from workplace discrimination and daily pressures
- Gut inflammation affecting your entire cardiovascular system
- Sleep deprivation disrupting hormone balance
- Lack of access to fresh, whole foods in many communities

What most doctors miss:
They only offer medication without addressing WHY your blood pressure is elevated. Pills manage the number but don't heal the root cause.

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I help Black women lower blood pressure naturally through:
✅ Advanced testing to identify inflammation markers
✅ Culturally relevant nutrition plans that fit your lifestyle
✅ Stress management techniques for real-world pressures
✅ Gut healing protocols to reduce systemic inflammation
✅ Sleep optimization strategies

This hormone myth has been keeping Black women sick for decades and doctors refuse to acknowledge it… 😳

THE MYTH: "If your period comes every month, your hormones are fine"

This is keeping millions of Black women sick and undiagnosed.

Here's the truth: You can have a regular 28-day cycle and still have severe hormone dysfunction that's destroying your energy, mood, hair, and metabolism.

What doctors miss:

- Your estrogen could be dangerously high relative to progesterone
- Your cortisol might be chronically elevated from stress
- Your thyroid could be barely functioning but still "in range"
- Your insulin resistance might be progressing silently
- Your testosterone levels could be causing hair loss and weight gain

Having a period just means you ovulated - it doesn't mean your hormones are optimized or balanced.

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I test hormone levels throughout your cycle, not just on random days. We look at how they work together as a system, not in isolation.
