❗️Inflammation is at the core of most diseases. Specifically, vascular disease, which includes high blood pressure, peripheral vascular disease and chronic kidney disease.

💊Alpha lipoic acid is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that increases microcirculation which means more oxygen to the tissues that most need it.

🔸Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a result of nerves not getting enough oxygen because the small blood vessels are damaged from the uncontrolled glucose levels. The best way to prevent this is to control your glucose levels, but if you have got to the point where you have developed peripheral neuropathy, than alpha lipoic acid can help!

💪 Creatine is not a weight loss drug. But it can help you build muscle, and muscle is more metabolically active than fat, so you burn more fat in the long run, making it easier to achieve your health and fitness goals!!

The Best Tuna Casserole 🥘

Cook the pasta
Sautée onions and garlic in evoo
Add tuna
Add salt, pepper, juice from 1/2 lemon and parsley
Add a little water from the pasta (1/4-1/2 cup)
Add veggies
Simmer on low until veggies are tender
Mix the pasta and the tuna/veggies
Add Parmesan and enjoy

🥦 I like to experiment so add as little or as much veggies and tuna as you want. More veggies = more nutrients and more tuna = more protein and DHA+EPA omega 3s!

An investigation by found the chemical 𝗖𝗛𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗧 in non-organic oat based products in the US. The chemical is banned from use on crops in the US but can be imported from other countries where it is still in use.

This chemical can disrupt fetal growth, alter testosterone production, affect reproduction, and more.

Oat and wheat based cereals, granola bars and products are affected. I would highly recommend buying 𝑶𝑹𝑮𝑨𝑵𝑰𝑪 oat and wheat based foods, if you consume them.

Life is busy. I get it. But nutrition shouldn’t be compromised. Especially for your kids who have developing brains and need healthy fats (avocado, fish, olive oil), whole grains (quinoa, oats, rice), and non-refined sugars (root vegetables and fruits). Breakfast can be tough but make some overnight oats before bed or throw some eggs in a frying pan and make scrambled eggs. It’s not as difficult as you think, I promise 🥑🍳🫐

🤔 Does going gluten free sound difficult to you? Challenged with meal ideas? I recently had a patient who has non-celiac gluten sensitivity but continued to consume gluten because she was unaware of all the amazing foods that she could have!!

✨ When you are removing something from your diet, focus on the abundance of foods you can eat rather than the one ingredient or food you cannot. Psychologically it makes it a lot easier for you to be successful!

Everyone loves ranch, but do you know what is in it?? Make sure you are choosing wisely and avoid those additives, fillers, seed oils, and added sugars. Better yet, make your own!

🥭 Fruit is good for you, right??

Dried fruit is very concentrated (as all the water has been removed) so it is high in sugar, naturally. But, many companies add sugar to dried fruit because, well, they know you are a sucker for it! Don’t fall for those tricks. READ THE LABEL!!!!

My absolute fav is the brand Organic Dried Mango. But be careful, it’s so easy to overeat 🤤

Let’s talk JUICE 🧃

It’s important to read labels. When a label says “0% juice” it is usually made with added ingredients. If it says “100% juice” it is usually made with fruit and water. The difference is in the ingredients.

Choose drinks that are made from 100% fruit. If we are talking glucose, both options will raise blood sugar, but fruit juice is natural and will result in less inflammation in your body when processing it.
