Eating higher amounts of protein will not negatively affect the kidneys. Again, research proves that refined carbohydrates are way worse for you than protein.
A paper published recently in the European Journal of Nutrition concluded that higher protein diets are not linked to kidney disease or increased risk for kidney stones. The paper was an umbrella review of systematic reviews for the evidence-based guideline of the German Nutrition Society. It has lo...

Sugar is the #1 food problem affecting most Americans from achieving and maintaining good health.
Many of my patients who quit eating sugar subconsciously tend to eat higher amounts of carbohydrates, not realizing that their carbs are converted into sugar- trading one form of sugar for another.
It comes as no surprise to me that low carb is a better way of eating for health than the DASH diet.

The side plank/side bridge.
Great for strengthening the Quadratus Lumborum(QL), a thick muscle that starts at the Posterior Iliac Crest(hip) and attaches to the 12th rib. This muscle helps maintain stability along the lower spine/lumbar region and pelvis.
We add this exercise to improve stability in conjunction with the 'core' muscles to help maintain a healthy back.
Please watch the video below to learn more and how to perform properly.

If you have ever had back pain, any kind of muscle or joint pain, sinus infections, or sinus surgery, I know what you are going through because I’ve been there myself. I injured my back playing basketball at college my freshman year. That same summer, I came down with a terrible sinus infection followed by a cyst causing a 100% block of my front left maxillary sinus. This resulted in surgery and a painful recovery. Three years later, after suffering from several more sinus infections, I had another cyst in the exact same spot. I was reluctant to get surgery a second time. I had a friend who was in acupuncture school and asked me to try acupuncture, so I did, and that’s when everything changed.
I had three weeks of acupuncture treatments coupled with taking Chinese herbals. At the end of the third week I was blowing my nose and, without being too graphic, the cyst was expelled! Five days later I was breathing back to normal and felt great! After having success with my sinuses, I was curious if it would help my back that I injured in college. I guess I shouldn’t have been too surprised when I got relief from the residual effects of that long ago injury. From that moment forward I knew Acupuncture was my calling.
Since then I have been practicing acupuncture for over 14 years. 8 of those years were spent at the University of Miami, Fl., treating athletes, students, employees and private clients. Being a former athlete, I was drawn to sports injury prevention, recovery, and performance. Acupuncture is a perfect fit that allows me to help many people, from all walks of life, improve their health and longevity. I was even blessed to spend two of my eight years at Miami at Sylvester Cancer Center- helping people recover from the side effects of chemo and radiation.
After UM, I opened a private practice in the heart of Boca Raton, Fl. After 3 flourishing years in private practice, our family decided that we wanted to move to a place that had Seasons, and a great place to raise our kids. After several visits to friends in the local area, we settled on Charlotte, NC. We are super excited to be living here and helping the community of Charlotte thrive! I look forward to meeting, listening, and helping you on your journey to a better you!
