💞So excited to share more about QT Scan technology after visiting the Divine Breast Imaging Center✨

➡️Unlike traditional mammograms, QT Scan uses advanced 3-D ultrasound technology to create detailed images of breast tissue — without radiation or painful compression. This can be especially beneficial for women with dense breast tissue, where conventional mammograms may be less sensitive.

The scan is comfortable, non-invasive, and designed to provide a more personalized approach to breast wellness and early detection. 💗

As a functional medicine practice, we believe in empowering women with innovative, safer options for proactive health.💫

Homemade miso soup—simple, nourishing, and so good for the soul 🤍

I love making this when I want something warm, grounding, and packed with nutrients.

Ingredients:• 3 tbsp organic miso• Homemade bone broth• Organic silken tofu-cubed• Handful of seaweed• 1 tsp Redmond’s salt

Rich in minerals, gut-loving, and incredibly comforting. This is one of those recipes that feels like medicine and tastes like a hug.

Would you try making this at home? 🍲

Ever wonder how much EMF your phone is actually emitting right by your head while you are asleep? 📱⚡️

We tested it:
👉 Full signal (everything on)
👉 Airplane mode + WiFi off + Bluetooth off + Location services off
👉 Phone inside a Faraday bag

The result? 👀
Airplane mode (with everything off) dropped exposure the most 🙀(3 million to 1300 microwatts/m2)— and the Faraday bag wasn’t far behind (to 3080 microwatts/m2).

Simple takeaway:
If you need to keep your phone nearby but aren’t using it, switching to airplane mode or putting it in a faraday bag is an easy way to reduce EMF exposure.
Small habit, big difference ✨

➡️2016… to now- Just because you’re doing CrossFit doesn’t automatically mean you’re getting optimally fit.

2016 was the year before I opened my functional medicine practice and I had already been doing CrossFit for 2 years. I was training hard—but I wasn’t fully on board nor did I fully have the 💡knowledge to change my foundations and address underlying root causes of inflammation.

💥High stress.
💥Job dissatisfaction.
💥Poor sleep.
💥Underlying infections.
💥Pushing through instead of recovering.

Exercise alone can’t override a dysregulated nervous system, inflammatory diet, regular alcohol consumption, chronic stress, or 😴lack of sleep. True fitness is built on what you do outside the gym just as much as inside it.

Movement matters—but so do sleep, stress, nutrition, and recovery.🤍
That’s the lesson I had to learn the hard way. Today I am stronger both mentally and physically at 49 than 39  and wouldn’t want to go back in time!
