And that’s a wrap!
Our providers Dr. Jorge and @anyawallacepa spent three days in Las Vegas at the @redefiningmedicine Longevity Conference listening, learning, connecting, and also educating/presenting.
Staying on top of emerging science and practices is of utmost importance for us as a clinic, and just as important for our clients.
To our clients: we are excited to share our learnings with you. 💚💙

We’re back again with another small win for one of our clients, and if you’re new here, you should know that our belief is that small wins lead to big successes! So please join us in celebrating Carol, whose goal for 2024 was to journal.
Says Carol, “Journaling is so therapeutic and it is a new goal for me in 2024. I use one of three different journal venues, whichever one speaks to me on a particular day.”
Journaling is beneficial for mental health, emotional intelligence, memory, critical thinking and more. Do you also enjoy journaling? We’d love to hear!
#functionalmedicine #integrativemedicine #charlottenc #clt
Do you journal?
@anyawallacepa talks with Meg Mizrahi of @congruencypt about the ways you can exercise to positively work ALONG with your hormones.
Specifically: not doing just cardio, cardio, cardio, but instead working in resistance training, and how both the hormonal and mechanical responses are incredibly positive.
They go on to discuss the fact that 15-20 minutes of resistance training can benefit testosterone levels, growth hormones and insulin sensitivity!
This chart is one of Anya’s *famous* drawings that she shares with her clients as she walks them through just how the hormones all work together. And remember - knowledge is power! 💪🏼💚💙

So much talk (with good reason) about upping our protein intake these days, so one of our health coaches, Niki, is showing just how easy it is to work with tofu. This is a solid plant-based protein with lots of cooking options. Look for organic tofu when feasible, and try it scrambled, meal-prepped, on a salad and more.
Are you a fan of tofu? Drop your favorite way to enjoy it below!

Whether you get your produce from a CSA like our co-founder Nathalie does, or if you get it from the grocery store … one of the best tips that we can provide is to take it home and to process it sooner than later.
In this case, she picked up her weekly box from @wildhopefarm and proceeded to wash and prep all of the vegetables, slice the bread, and even make a few items right away. This is a great way to avoid the dreaded vegetables that sit in the fridge 👀 - because no one likes to waste money, and especially when these foods can provide so much nutritional value!
Do you also follow a similar system?

The cat’s out of the bag .. if cardio has been your jam, it’s time to rethink your routine and start strength training.
The benefits are many:
- There is a temporary increase in testosterone, which is important for muscle growth and repair
- Strength training stimulates release of GH, which aids in muscle recovery and repair
-Moderate strength training helps to regulate cortisol
-Strength training helps to improve insulin sensitivity
-Strength training promotes bone density by stimulating bone growth and remodeling
PS - if you are in #perimenopause or #menopause - this is an extra important time to consider strength training!
PSS - please check with your medical provider before beginning any new exercise regimen
