New Practitioner Highlight: Alyssa VanKeulen, PT, DPT
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist

Alyssa is a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in pelvic floor, prenatal, and postpartum rehab. She helps women overcome leaking, prolapse, diastasis recti, and pelvic pain so they can feel strong, confident, and symptom-free. Her holistic, whole-body approach recognizes that the pelvic floor never works in isolation. And we are SO EXCITED she's joining us.

From Alyssa: I offer in-person sessions in Evergreen and online care, making it easier for you to stay consistent without the hassle of childcare or travel. My goal is to fully resolve symptoms through personalized exercise programs, manual therapy, and education.

I fell in love with pelvic health because too many women are told their symptoms are “normal” and feel stuck living with discomfort. My goal is to change that through education and support for this community.

I earned my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Pacific University in Oregon and have advanced training in pelvic floor, prenatal, and postpartum rehab. I also teach Pilates at Mountain View Pilates in Evergreen.

I am happy to answer any questions that you have. You can find me on Instagram or you can schedule a free consult on my website www.pelvicwellnessco.com

Hey everybody! I am a Hormone Health & Fertility acupuncturist in Kittredge (and grateful member of the Origin team!). I just had a handful of clients give birth so I have some space available for new patients in my practice. I have been in this industry for 12 years and have worked in fertility clinics and as a private practitioner utilizing the wisdom of both Traditional Chinese Medicine and functional medicine.

I have a 95% success rate in helping women get pregnant (especially with those who have struggled making this happen). I am a wizard when it comes to healing hormone imbalances that lead to painful cycles, PCOS, endometriosis, insomnia, and thyroid disorders -- and if you're struggling with perimenopause, I am absolutely your girl. I really, really love my work, and if you've felt called to nourish this area of your life, I would be honored to have you here with me.

I'll leave a link to my website in the comments, and I'd be happy to chat if you'd like more information about who I am and what I do. 🖤

Earlier this week, I mentioned foundations of health, and how prioritizing foundations can have ripple effects on our health as a whole. Today, I thought I would share some more about my FAVORITE foundation- blood sugar balance.

Blood sugar regulation is the process used to create energy that powers our cells and is critical to every part of our health. The body sees high or low blood sugar as an emergency, so when blood sugar swings high or low, the body will focus on getting glucose levels back in check by using up certain minerals from the endocrine system and putting hormone production on the back burner. Many people have blood sugar swings multiple times throughout the day and then through the night, so you can see the problem here!

If blood sugar is erratic, the endocrine system will suffer and hormonal problems will be the norm. If you experience some of the symptoms listed below, blood sugar swings might be to blame!

Signs of Imbalanced Blood Sugar:
Sugar cravings
Frequent hunger
Brain fog
Mood swings
Relying on caffeine/sugar for afternoon pick-me-up
Energy dips, especially after meals
Trouble losing weight
Feeling Hangry
Trouble sleeping

Blood sugar also directly impacts the body in more long-term ways through having influence on cardiovascular health, mental health, and any sort of inflammation.

I'll be signing off the Origin social media at the end of the day, but if you can relate to this or have questions, come join me !
