Do you know how many things affect vitamin D absorption?
Skin color (darker complexions do not absorb as quickly than lighter)
Weight (an overweight or obese person doesn't absorb it as easily)
Age (younger absorb more quickly than older)
Location (those closer to the equator need less than those further from it)
Diet (vitamin D needs magnesium, K2 and vitamin A for optimal absorption)
It's no surprise why so many in our country are vitamin D deficient!
Do you know your level?
Normal levels are considered 30-90 but Optimal levels are 50-90.

How can we increase it naturally?
Get outside and get naked! Okay maybe not completely but exposed skin is where absorption happens. 🔆Morning sunlight, no sunscreen, for at least 15 min
Eat vitamin D rich foods, i.e. eggs and fish, with good fats to help absorption

Iron deficiency affects 1 in 3 Americans, mostly women due to heavy menstrual cycles, but can also be caused by poor dietary intake, blood disorders and other chronic diseases.
Foods rich in iron include red meat, shellfish, legumes and dark leafy greens. In addition to iron your body needs vitamin C which can be found in cherries, bell peppers, citrus and kiwi and copper found in mushrooms, sweet potatoes, brazil nuts, sunflower seeds and spirulina for adequate iron absorption
If you have any of these symptoms, it's worth speaking to your healthcare provider.

In a recent study published in Cureus, infants were found to have lower fine and gross motor skills as well as decreased problem-solving skills with more radiation exposure.
What overall impact does that have on their growth and development?
These skills are building blocks for later skills like language and executive functioning.
What can parents do to decrease risk?
✔ Turn wifi off at night (Ours is set on a timer and is off 11pm-6am)
✔ Turn phones to airplane mode at night or at least remove them from bedrooms
✔ Turn off bluetooth when not in use
✔ Use wired connections when possible (especially earbuds for older children and adults)

Medications and procedures are the two main tools used by modern medicine to combat heart disease.

But the research shows that cholesterol lowering drugs (statins) increase the risk for diabetes, which is the number one risk factor for heart disease (PMID: 37465091), and it increases the amount of calcified plaque in arteries (PMID: 16449511), which research shows increases the risk for heart attacks (PMID: 18367736)

Further, the research shows that the use of elective stents and bypass procedures does not prevent future heart attacks. Whether you have the procedure or not, the chance of having a heart attack is exactly the same. (PMID's: 24958204, 2225367, 21463150, 17387127)

So why does medicine continue to use these methods despite them being ineffective? Becasue these methods are what make the medical system money.

Most doctors don't realize this. They think that the medications and procedures they were trained to prescribe and perform are the best we have. They have been misled.

If you want to learn why things like light, blood flow, toxins, emotional health, etc, etc are more important for preventing heart disease and how I was able to heal my heart after my heart attack and reverse plaque in my body without the help of Western medicine, click the link to learn more about my new 12-week heart health mentorship.

Why is the FDA going after medications that has been used for centuries?
Levothyroxine is a synthetic form of T4. Many with hypothyroidism do well on it however if your body has a problem converting T4 to T3 (which is what it actually uses) you won't feel better. There is a synthetic T3 but why not give your body a more natural form of both?
There are about 2 million people who take NP or Armour thyroid. I prescribe it and I hope to continue to be able to.
I'll link the petition in the comments and if I learn of other ways to get our voices heard I'll share

Mommas, if you don't know Tiffanie, you need to! She is a nurse, lactation consultant, and trained in craniosacral therapy. If baby is struggling to latch, not feeding well or having trouble sleeping, she helps release tension in the fascia (connective tissue that connects the whole body) getting to the root cause and allowing baby's body to relax.

I've often said breastfeeding is the most unnatural "natural" thing we can do as mothers. As a new mom I was entirely too confident that it would be easy but with my first, it took a few visits with a lactation consultant, many phone calls to a friend and about a month of practice to become comfortable.
It was hard, but so worth it for the benefits to both of us!
➡️It is a great way to bond with baby
➡️It is the perfect food for baby containing essential vitamins and minerals necessary for growth and development.
➡️A woman's body can sense when baby is sick and adapt the milk to provide just the right support
➡️It can help reduce the risk of chronic illness like allergies, asthma and ezcema in baby
➡️It can reduce the risk of some cancers in mom

Are you a mom frustrated by the traditional pediatrician who deems it necessary to inject "health"
Or maybe, a woman who keeps being told you're normal when nothing feels normal?
Are you ready to tackle lifestyle changes over taking a pill for the rest of your life?
You have the right to say no. You have the right to choose differently for yourself and your family. Because ultimately you are in charge of the repercussions of those decisions. No provider is coming to your house, caring for you or your child daily.
And so it is up to you! You get to say who you want to be 6 months, 5 years or 10 years from now.
It might not be conventional but when you come into this office, you are in charge. So, no bullying, no coercion or threatening, just candid conversations with someone who's done a lot of research and who isn't done learning.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has doubled down on their disdain for children in the latest press release calling on removing nonmedical exemptions as a guise of "public health"
Let's think this through. Religious exemptions make up roughly 3% of the pediatric population so for example in Columbia, with a district size of 20,000 students, that is 600. That's a threat to public health?! Hey, AAP instead of trying to place blame for the return of measles on 3% of the population, how about you start promoting steps to reduce the 54% of children who have a chronic illness? Maybe you'd be taken more seriously and we'd believe that you cared about children and their future
In honor of their idiocy, here are some tips.
In Missouri, children need a form which can be downloaded from DHSS website. If a school takes state funding, they must take exemptions.

For adults, you can write a letter using these tips and submit to your HR department. You are protected under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

I am so excited to see these changes! I hope this is the tipping point for changing our food supply and for healthier options for our kids, to end this epidemic of chronic illness and obesity in children
