Did you know? 👀

The FDA removed the strongest “black box” warning from hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used for menopause — a major shift that didn’t get nearly enough attention.

For years, HRT carried serious warnings about risks like breast cancer, heart attack, stroke, and dementia. But those warnings were based on older research that experts now say doesn’t reflect how hormone therapy is used today.

👉 What we know now:
• For many people, HRT can be safe and effective — especially when started at the right time
• Updated research shows risks are more nuanced and individualized than previously thought
• Removing the warning helps support more informed, less fear-based decisions

⚖️ And here’s something important:
It’s actually very difficult for the FDA to reverse or remove major safety warnings on medications. The fact that this change happened speaks to how strong and consistent the updated evidence has become.

💬 Why this matters:
For years, people were told to “just deal with” symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, low energy, sleep disruption, and mood changes — when effective, evidence-based options were available.

✨ At Aralia Health, our practitioners stay up to date with the latest hormone guidelines and research. We specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for people of all genders, with an individualized, evidence-based approach to care.

Bottom line: Hormone therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all — but the conversation around it is finally catching up to the science.

There’s something wildly satisfying about walking over to your hydroponic setup and harvesting lunch 🌱

This past year I’ve really fallen in love with growing hydroponic herbs and greens at home. This lets me have fresh greens at my fingertips all year long (which is a feat in Montana). Today I had zero plan for lunch… so I grabbed what was thriving and threw together a quick ramen.

All of this came straight from the garden:
✨ Purple bok choy
✨ Green tatsoi
✨ Cilantro
✨ Parsley
✨ Basil
✨ Lime basil
✨ Mixed microgreens

I always keep ramen noodles and a good miso paste stocked in the pantry/fridge. It’s one of my favorite “I have nothing planned” meals that still feels intentional and nourishing.

I also added:
✔️ Leftover chicken from my Mountain Meat Shares CSA
✔️ Half a fresh lime
✔️ A spoonful of gochujang paste
✔️ Peanuts (I keep raw nuts in the freezer to preserve those healthy fats)

And this only took 10 mins from garden harvest to eating! Can’t beat that ⏱️on a busy work day.

👩🏻‍⚕️Pro tip:
Skip the miso powder and grab refrigerated miso paste instead. Add it after cooking, once the water has cooled slightly. High heat can damage those beneficial probiotics — and we want all that gut-loving goodness intact.

Fresh greens + warm broth + fermented foods = simple, powerful food as medicine.

✨ The Power of Ozone Therapy ✨

We’ve been combining Perineural Injection Treatment (PIT) and Trigger Point Injections for pain with great results, and recently added ozone therapy into the mix for this patient’s Thoracolumbar Junction Syndrome (TJS).

TJS is when the junction between your mid-back and low-back gets irritated. It can cause pain that spreads into the low back, hips, thighs, and even the groin.

This time, adding ozone really made the difference. Ozone works by calming inflammation, improving oxygen use in tissues, and jump-starting the body’s own healing response.

Here’s what the patient shared after treatment:

“Yesterday was the first time in over 2 years I said, ‘my pelvis area feels pretty amazing!’ I slept comfortably, and my pain is the lowest it’s been in years…thank you for the hope!!”

Stories like this remind us how powerful the right combination of therapies can be. 🌿

I finally tried a new method I’ve been eyeing for a while—Instant Pot meals in a jar—and I’m obsessed. I put together 14 home-cooked, ready-to-go meals in one afternoon (even had time to attend Missoula’s protest before making). Each jar is pre-portioned and seasoned, with instructions and ingredient lists right on the label to make dinner a total no-brainer.

As a naturopathic doctor, I’m always talking to patients about meal prep. The more we cook at home, the more we tend to nourish ourselves with real food and fewer additives. And legumes? Total superstars. They’re packed with fiber, plant-based protein, and nutrients that support blood sugar balance, gut health, and longevity.

Bone Broth & Liver: Two Easy Nutrition Hacks

A few months ago, Jen from taught us that you can pressure can bone broth—making it shelf-stable at room temp! I had no idea! 🤯 Now I can keep gut-healing, immune-boosting broth on hand without taking up freezer space.

She also shared a genius liver hack—blend liver, freeze it in ice cube trays, and toss a cube into ground meat or stews. Liver is packed with iron, B vitamins, and retinol, but this way, no one even notices it’s there!

Have you tried either?

Though Montana is known for its dry climate, mold can still sneak into our homes and impact our health. I’m seeing this more and more in my practice, including two patients just today who discovered mold in their homes. They now realize this might explain some persistent symptoms they’ve been dealing with, such as:

🔸 Fatigue and brain fog
🔸 Chronic headaches
🔸 Respiratory issues (congestion, wheezing)
🔸 Muscle aches and joint pain
🔸 Skin irritations, rashes, hives
🔸 Mood swings and anxiety
🔸 Digestive issues (constipation, diarrhea, bloating, food sensitivities )
🔸 Allergies

If you have unexplained symptoms, consider the possibility of hidden mold in your home. Mold doesn’t just affect those with known sensitivities; it can cause issues for anyone exposed over time. Addressing mold isn’t just about fixing leaks or cleaning visible areas—it may involve more thorough remediation efforts.

🔍 If you’re renting, reach out to your landlord to investigate any damp areas or visible mold, and make sure your home has adequate ventilation. Your health is worth it! 🌿
