Currently enrolled in a post doctorate program in Integrative Medicine. I will share with you some of this powerful knowledge that I’m gaining!
Integrative approach to chronic disease:
1. What is missing in the body? -nutrients, vitamins, minerals, endorphins
2. What is toxic in the body- heavy metals, environmental toxins, STRESS, negative thinking
3. How are these factors impacting the way your cells communicate with each other so that the body can function?
4. What are the metabolic abnormalities (as seen on blood work or urine samples) as a result of the way cells are functioning?
Comments appreciated!

If you sit at a desk and your back hurts and gets stiff, then this quick exercise is for you. When you sit, your back muscles get rounded and deactivated . Your gut instinct may be to round forward to stretch them, but that’s the worst thing you can do. Instead, learn how to rock your pelvis forward and engage your lower back in extension. Rocking your pelvis is different from just arching your back. It’s more gentle and opens your hips as you engage your spine! Open hips + engaged lower back= less back pain!

This is my go-to warm up before I work on patients or do yoga. It really opens up the fascia connecting your shoulders , forearms , and wrists. If your wrists or shoulders get tight from repetitive movements like working at a desk or a computer, I recommend trying this. You can do it from a seated position as well! I will be breaking down each movement in my next videos. Let me know what you think!

Neurotransmitter and hormones are signaling molecules that allow your cells to communicate with each other. Epinephrine is unique in that it is both a neurotransmitter and a hormone. It is commonly associated with a person’s flight or fight OR freeze response to the rush of adrenaline.
Do you flight , fight, or freeze?! Or does it depend on the circumstance?

Loving this new serum from root of skin! This is how I apply it everyday. I don't always exfoliate first, but it works best on clean fresh skin, so that the proteins and growth factors isolated from stem cells, can bind to your own skin and help your skin cells regenerate. it is a good alternative to cosmetic alterations because you will definitely look younger and your skin will feel more taught, yet still soft and radiant.

I have been using this serum from the Root of Skin, and I love its consistency and the results I get. It feels hydrating, but not greasy. I put my daily SPF ...

In trikonasana, or triangle pose, remember to get there in stages. Try to keep the hips even first, then stack the shoulders, and finally lift your gaze. We want long open lines of energy to open the hips, improve your thoracic rotation , and strengthen (not a strained , tweaked ) neck. Follow along with Theona from Elitefitnessnow and I in this video!

Build your glutes for a more stable and stronger Warrior 1. Your gluteus Maximus and gluteus medius stabilize your pelvis and protect your knees. With these specific cues , you can find your glutes in yoga postures, which will improve your practice and especially your balance. It will also tone your hips and butt. We can all benefit from this!! Big thanks to Elitefitnessnow for embarking on this journey with me to help our clients and patients towards better mobility and health!!

My first layer every morning is the face renewal serum. The first bottle I used I felt the difference, but now that I’m on my second bottle, people are noticing the difference! I have fewer fine lines, but the feedback that I’ve been getting is that my eyes look brighter and that I look younger . So guess my age ... actually never mind I’m not ready to play that game . Maybe after my third bottle!
