Recipe alert 🔔
I have to admit …I have never liked salads 🥗 very much. But I finally found one I love! I was trying to make a kind of Vietnamese inspired salad so I used lemongrass and ginger puree with a little honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, fish sauce, and garlic olive oil for dressing. The salad has mung bean sprouts instead of noodles, mint, basil, cilantro, green onion, cucumber, peppers, peanuts, and peppers. Plus whatever protein and greens you like. Finally feel like a real naturopathic 👩‍⚕️ doctor 😂

Natural options to lower cholesterol- ranked from gentlest to strongest options ✨

1) Fiber- boost through increasing plants in your diet, or add in psyllium husk or sunfiber. Fiber binds cholesterol in your gut to boost elimination.

2) Plant sterols- found naturally in most plants, but highest amounts in seeds and nuts. Plant sterols lower ldl by blocking absorption of cholesterol.

3) Pantethine- vitamin B5- especially good at lowering triglycerides!

4) Bergamot- reduces cholesterol synthesis, gentler option than red yeast rice.

5) Red Yeast Rice- our strongest natural supplement to lower cholesterol. Blocks cholesterol synthesis, similar to statins. Typically well tolerated, but can cause muscle aches and fatigue in sensitive individuals.

For the cheese lovers out there! Yeah, I have to admit that’s me too.

People who regularly ate higher-fat cheese and cream had a lower risk of dementia over 25 years, while low-fat dairy and other dairy foods showed no clear association.

👀 😆 Ok Fairbanks I’m coming to town soon! Please don’t make me use these codes when I see you. Happy Thanksgiving! Dr Spencer and I are thankful 🙏 for our family of patients and friends ❤️

🦃 As Thanksgiving approaches, it's a good time to review ICD-10 codes that may be relevant to the holiday, writes registered health information administrator Christine Geiger. W61.4 covers injuries from contact with turkeys. X10.2 covers injuries related to cooking oils, such as those used to deep-fry turkeys. W29.1 and W26.0 are for injuries involving electric and non-electric knives, respectively, which can happen while carving a turkey.
