Hey everyone! Did you know you can manage your cholesterol without resorting to pharmaceutical medications? Instead of relying solely on prescriptions, I would like to show you a more natural approach to healing. 🌱❤️

🚴‍♂️Physical activity can regulate cholesterol levels.

🫘Foods rich in soluble fiber, like oats and beans, can reduce cholesterol (psyllium supplements can also help).

🐟Unsaturated fats and fish oil (rich in omega-3 fatty acids) are shown to improve lipid profiles.

🧄Some herbs like garlic, turmeric, rosemary, and artichoke leaf extract can have cholesterol-lowering properties.

✨Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplements may help improve heart health and lower bad cholesterol.

By making small, sustainable changes, you can improve your lipid profiles and reduce the need for medication. If you want to know more, don’t hesitate to shoot me a message!

Ever felt fatigued, dizzy, short of breath, or noticed unusual pale skin, brittle nails, or a sore tongue? 😕😱

These are all possible signs of iron deficiency, a common and often overlooked health issue affecting millions of people each year. Despite consuming iron-rich foods (such as 🥩lean meats or 🫑plant-based options) I often see patients struggling with low iron levels due to poor absorption.

🍊 Importance of Vitamin C for Iron Absorption:
Vitamin C enhances the body’s absorption of iron by converting non-heme iron (found in plant-based sources) into a more absorbable form. Consuming vitamin C-rich foods or supplements alongside iron-rich foods can help to boost iron levels in the body.

🚫 Watch Out for Iron Absorption Blockers:
Certain beverages, like tea and coffee, contain compounds that may hinder iron absorption. It might be a good idea to avoid these drinks with iron-rich meals to ensure optimal absorption.

Iron is an essential mineral in the body. Without enough iron,we may not be able to produce enough red blood cells, which can lead to anemia. By taking care of your iron levels, you can ensure your body is functioning properly and you’re maintaining good health. 💪

5 Herbs for Arthritis Relief 😊🌱

🌻 St. John’s Wart
An herbal supplement derived from the Hypericum perforatum plant. This herb acts as an antidepressant drug and reduces inflammation/pain in individuals with arthritis.

🍃 Ginkgo biloba
This herb is known to increase blood flow/circulation and leg or arm pain due to reduced circulation from blocked arteries. This herb can help individuals with arthritis symptoms.

🌷 Valerian
The compounds present in valerian may interact with neurotransmitters, potentially promoting relaxation and reducing discomfort associated with arthritis.

🌼 Thunder God Vine
This herb has been used for arthritis to reduce pain and inflammation as well as treat symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and other autoimmune diseases.

🌱 Curcumin (or turmeric)
An anti-inflammatory that works by blocking inflammatory cytokines and enzymes. When used for arthritis, it can reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness.

I hope you found this information useful! Make sure to follow my account for more information. 🙂

Living with constant stomach issues can be incredibly frustrating.😩😖😣

A lot of individuals who experience diarrhea, constipation, bloating, stomach pain, and/or other GI problems often end up undergoing colonoscopies, only to receive no new findings and a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). 🔥😫

It’s hard to be told that there are no clear answers or solutions to the gut issues disrupting your life. Unfortunately, a lot of doctors might not fully understand what’s happening in your gut.

🔍 Looking Beyond the Surface
A colonoscopy provides a visual inspection of the colon’s interior, looking for structural abnormalities, growths, or inflammation. However, these procedures may not detect subtle but significant issues that lie beyond the scope of conventional examination.

🌱 Non-Visible Health Challenges
Some issues, such as food sensitivities, imbalances in gut bacteria, or chronic inflammation, may not be evident during a colonoscopy. However, they can contribute significantly to your digestive discomfort. These non-visible factors require a holistic approach to address, one that gets to the root cause of your health issue.

So, when something still feels wrong it’s important to remember that the absence of visual abnormalities doesn’t necessarily mean your health is optimal.

Frustrated with the ongoing mysteries of stomach pain, despite normal lab results?💩😮‍💨

It's time to dive deeper into the complexities of your gut health. Conditions like SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and leaky gut are often overlooked by traditional medicine and might hold the key to your unrelenting discomfort.🤢

🔵Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
= Condition in which there is an abnormal increase in the number and type of bacteria in the small intestine. This overgrowth can lead to a variety of digestive issues, including chronic diarrhea, bloating, and malabsorption of nutrients.

🔵Leaky gut (or increased intestinal permeability)
= Involves a weakening of the gut lining, allowing undigested food particles and toxins to leak into the bloodstream. This can trigger a range of health problems beyond the gut, such as autoimmune conditions, allergies, and even mental health issues.

✨You deserve clarity and relief from the symptoms that have become constant in your life. Contact me for a consultation.

Why should you prioritize your gut health?

💲 Lower Medical Expenses:
Investing in your gut health can actually lead to fewer doctor visits, medication costs, and medical procedures. When you take care of your gut, you can lower the risk of various chronic conditions, saving you from hefty healthcare bills.

⚖️ Optimal Weight Management:
A healthy gut can contribute to better metabolism and weight management. You might find yourself spending less on fad diets, weight loss programs, and expensive gym memberships.

When your gut is in good shape, you'll experience improved energy levels throughout the day. This means you'll rely less on energy drinks and excessive caffeine, saving money and promoting better overall well-being.

Remember, investing in your gut health isn't just about feeling good—it's a smart financial choice too! 🌱💰

Ever find yourself reaching for topical vitamin D during a psoriasis flare?🧴 There's actually a lot more beneath the surface of this story, and it can make a huge difference in your everyday life! 🕵️‍♂️

I see patients with psoriasis using topical vitamin D ☀️ to help heal their skin condition. However, these same individuals can unknowingly have low vitamin D levels – and get this – these low levels are often due to limited sun exposure, inadequate dietary intake, and can even be from certain medical conditions. 🍽️💊

While topical vitamin D can offer targeted relief for skin symptoms, addressing the root cause involves a more natural holistic approach.

Ensure you:
🌞Are getting enough sunlight
🐟Incorporate vitamin D-rich foods into your diet
⛏️Dig deeper to tackle the root of the problem
