Today, we shine a light on menopause and the journey every woman experiences. Let’s break the stigma, share knowledge, and support each other through this natural transition!

Allow me to share more on this topic that I am so passionate about! Menopause is a natural phase in every woman's life, and navigating it can be easier with the right tools. Here are a few tips:

- Stay Active: Regular exercise can help manage symptoms and boost your mood.
- Eat Well: Focus on a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D to support bone health.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to alleviate dryness and help with hot flashes.
- Connect: Don’t hesitate to talk to friends, family, or healthcare professionals about what you’re experiencing.

Together, let’s empower each other through this journey! 💖

From the moment you walk into my doors, I’m ready to listen. I pause, hear your concerns, and mentally and physically note what you’re telling me before a single game plan is made. I want to hear from your words what you’re experiencing, not dive into a diagnosis or treatment based on what I see. You know your body best. Thank you for allowing me to work WITH you to find solutions and support. ❤️

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 🎀
As a women’s health practitioner, I’m here to remind you to prioritize your health and schedule those important screenings.

Also, it’s important to know your normal so you can take action if changes occur! I recommend to all women that you perform monthly self breast exams at the same time of the month (especially for those experiencing a regular) as this is one of the best ways to be aware of any changes.

Keep reading to know when to notify your healthcare provider!

- Breast lump or mass, hard or soft, may or may not be painful
- Lump/swelling under arm or around the collarbone
- Skin irritation, dimpling, itching, or swelling of part of the breast or ni**le
- Breast or ni**le pain or ni**le turning inward
- Redness, scaliness, or thickening of ni**le or breast skin
- Ni**le discharge other than breast milk

As always, I’m here to help you take action against any health concern you have! 🌼

*Kimberly Watson, NP Book Recommendation!* Looking for a health resource for gut health and your metabolism? I’ve got one for you!

Metabolism Repair for Women by Lara Briden ND is "a compassionate, science-based guide to balancing insulin, losing weight, and improving health." I really liked this book because it describes the ins and outs of insulin resistance and other metabolism "wreckers'' that women often struggle with. It also offers step-by-step ways to troubleshoot those issues and suggestions for how to repair the body’s metabolism.

You can grab this resource on Amazon or your local bookstore. DM me for the link and I’d love to share more of my thoughts! 🌼

Understanding insulin resistance is key to managing our health! The following factors increase insulin resistance and should be carefully managed to avoid the negative side effects of insulin resistance:

- Stress! Stress triggers the fight or flight response and increases cortisol and glucose!
- Lack of sleep! Strive for 7-9 hours consistently for overall improved health!
- Microbiome dysbiosis! If experiencing gut issues, consider getting in for a GI Map test to further evaluate and assist in working against insulin resistance.
- Endocrine disrupting chemicals. BPA is a huge one and is found in lots of day-to-day items such as reusable water bottles, baby bottles, food storage containers, cash register receipts, and food can linings. By changing up your products, you can avoid health issues.

Still have questions about insulin resistance? I’d be happy to help you understand and improve your health! 🌼

This question is one I often get in my clinic and it’s no question why. Not enough education is given about it! So I’m here to help!

Insulin resistance is when too much glucose (above what the body needs for energy) is consumed, leading to glucose remaining in the blood and eventually being stored as fat. This can lead to prediabetes or diabetes if not reversed.

Symptoms of insulin resistance include:
- Frequent carbohydrate or sugar cravings
- The need to eat every 2-3 hours
- Anxious/irritable if it’s too long between meals
- Sleepy (or calm) after eating
- Dramatic mood and energy swings/foggy brain
- Headaches
- Increased weight/fat gain in the midsection

Are you concerned about potential insulin resistance in your body? Good news. There are ways to reverse the process:

- Keep in mind that insulin is active/present for 2-3 hours after a meal/snack is consumed, so eating less often (3 meals per day rather than 5-6 "small meals" daily), allows for more fat burning to occur.
- Insulin secretion is at its highest during the day and slows down at night. It’s also more receptive during the first ½ of the day. Therefore, consider eating larger meals during the first ½ of the day when your body can respond to the insulin more aggressively.

As always, I’d be happy to talk to you about your symptoms and current health condition. Just give my office a call! 😊
