🍂Staying healthy this fall and winter doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are 5 simple ways to support your immune system naturally 🌿

1️⃣ Let food be your medicine: Load up on immune-friendly foods like garlic, ginger, mushrooms, citrus fruits, leafy greens, nuts, and seeds. What you eat every day truly matters!

2️⃣ Remember to hydrate: Cold weather can be sneaky - it’s easy to get dehydrated without noticing. Sip on herbal teas, broths, or warm water with lemon throughout the day.

3️⃣ Skip the sugar: Refined sugar weakens your immune defenses for hours after eating. Instead, reach for whole, nourishing foods or satisfy your sweet tooth with fruit like pomegranate or citrus.

4️⃣ Lifestyle check
- Prioritize sleep (7–9 hrs)
- Move your body regularly
- Manage stress daily
- And don’t push too hard when you feel run down. Rest is also medicine!

5️⃣ Supplements to consider
☀️ Vitamin D3 (especially in winter)
🌱 Astragalus (immune + stress support)
⚡ Zinc picolinate (at first sign of illness)
🍇 Elderberry (antiviral and kid-friendly)

Small, consistent habits add up. Let’s stay healthy together this coming season! 💚

Did you know that in New York State, anyone can legally call themselves a “Naturopathic Doctor”? 😮 It’s true - and a little scary. Because NY doesn’t regulate naturopathic medicine, people with little or no formal medical training can use the title “ND.” That creates confusion for patients and challenges for those of us who are fully licensed.

So what does it actually mean to be a licensed Naturopathic Doctor? 🌿

After earning my bachelor’s in science (pre-med), I completed a four-year, in-residence doctoral program accredited by the CNME — the only naturopathic accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. My training included both clinical rotations and coursework in medical sciences, clinical nutrition, pharmacology, botanical medicine, homeopathy, and more.

I then passed a national board exam covering biomedical and clinical sciences, qualifying me for licensure. I’m currently licensed in Oregon - because New York still doesn’t offer licensure for NDs, despite the growing demand for integrative care.

👉 In contrast, unlicensed individuals who call themselves NDs may have completed only short, non-accredited online programs. They’re not required to take exams, complete clinical training, or meet any national standards - yet they can still present themselves to the public as “doctors” in NY.

This lack of regulation puts patients at risk. Natural doesn’t always mean safe - especially without proper medical knowledge. Supplement use, drug interactions, and chronic conditions all require trained oversight!

Until New York adopts proper regulation, I urge you to always check credentials. Ask where your practitioner studied, whether they’re licensed, and what kind of training they actually received. Your health deserves qualified care 💚

Optimal health starts with good digestion 🍽️💩 Your digestive system is one of the most important systems in your whole body. If your body cannot properly digest and absorb nutrients and eliminate waste products, then it’s nearly impossible to achieve optimal health.

Proper gut function is critical to addressing multiple health concerns. If your guts is not happy, your body is not happy! Evidence suggests that health issues may begin as imbalances in gastrointestinal function.

Everyone’s talking about fermented foods for gut health, but do you struggle with excess gas, bloating, or irritable bowel? Fermented foods might be the LAST thing you need right now! 😅⁠

While fermented foods are great for boosting good bacteria (probiotics) in your gut, they also feed the bad bacteria and yeast. That’s why it’s crucial to restore a healthy balance in your gut before adding them to your diet.⁠

If you feel like your belly is a balloon by day’s end, you might have yeast overgrowth or bacterial overgrowth in the small intestines (SIBO). Stool microbiology or breath testing can reveal these issues. In such cases, fermented foods could worsen your symptoms by fueling these gut infections! ⁠

The good news? Once these infections are cleared, you can reintroduce fermented foods without any problems. They’ll help maintain healthy gut bacteria and prevent future candida overgrowth or SIBO.⁠

Take care of your gut first, then enjoy the benefits of fermented foods! 🌱

Here are the main lifestyle areas to focus on to help reverse or prevent fatty liver disease. Depending on your condition, you may need to tailor this plan, but these are key starting points:

Cut out high fructose corn syrup! Yes, eliminate everything with it. You’ll be shocked how many items in your kitchen contain HFCS - check your yogurt, salad dressing, sauces, even “healthy” foods. Read all labels and cut it out completely.

Reduce flours & starches! Ditch white, processed flours, but also go easy on whole grain and gluten-free alternatives. They still spike blood sugar, stress the liver, and raise triglycerides.

Eat more fat & protein! Sounds odd, but yes - add healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, nuts, fish) and clean proteins (plant or organic animal). Pair with more veggies and low-sugar fruits to replace starches and sugars.

Move your body! Daily exercise improves metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and reduces liver fat. Start slow and aim for 30 minutes, 5 days a week. Consistency matters.

Consider supplements. Herbs like milk thistle, and nutrients like alpha lipoic acid or NAC, support liver health. But consult a licensed naturopath - especially if you’re on medication.

Daily walks are a great way to stay active, but to gain significant health benefits, intensity matters. A leisurely stroll has value, but moderate to high intensity is key to improving cardiovascular health and metabolic function.

Evidence-Based Benefits of Brisk Walking:

✔ Enhanced cardiovascular fitness

✔ Stronger bones and muscles

✔ Reduced adipose tissue and lower disease risk

✔ Improved circulation and blood pressure

✔ Better sleep quality, cognitive function, and mood

How to Optimize Your Walk?

✅ Intensity: Aim for a heart rate of 100-120 bpm or a pace where talking is possible but slightly challenging

✅ Duration: At least 30 min/day, 5 days per week

✅ Goal: As few as 4,000 steps at a brisk pace can have significant health effects

Additionally, incorporating strength training is essential for long-term mobility and independence. While walking supports cardiovascular health, muscle strength is crucial for maintaining functional ability throughout life.

Prioritize both brisk walking and resistance training to maximize your overall health and longevity!
