Over the years I have had a lot of teachers as patients. One of my biggest and most loved recommendations for years has been the Chinese formula Cold Snap. It was created by an experienced herbalist. It supports your immune system and does not put it into overdrive like many supplements do. It is safe for pregnancy and breast feeding and safe for even young kids. It’s even safe to take year around or especially during cold and flu season! Their other formulas are great too!

Since 1994 Snap Dynasty Herb Company has offered a full line of natural herbal remedies and medicinal herbs, providing time-honored Traditional Chinese Medicine formulas.

I completely agree. Talking with other women openly is so healing!

Grown woman talk: the original cortisol cure!

When women connect in safe, supportive spaces, something remarkable happens: our oxytocin rises, our cortisol falls.

Psychologist Shelley Taylor calls it tend and befriend—a stress response as real and i mportant as “fight or flight.”

I’m so passionate about this that I devoted a chapter to it in both The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution and Hormone Intelligence.

Why? Because cortisol on overdrive - as it is for so many of us- impacts everything from our menstrual cycles and fertility to our thyroid, metabolism, and even how we sleep and age.

When cortisol stays high, it can disrupt ovulation, worsen PMS, fuel weight gain around the middle, spike blood sugar, and contribute to anxiety, depression, and burnout. Think inflammaging and an extra dose of symptoms, too!

Lowering it is powerful medicine that doesn’t come from or the Pill. It’s an inside job.

✨ A few ways to bring cortisol down:
• Make regular time for connection with friends. Don’t worry about sharing your honest challenges - both giver and receiver actually benefit (within limits of that friend who is always venting!)
• Spend time in nature.
• Practice slow, deep breathing or meditation especially if you wake up at night!
• Prioritize restorative sleep.

I specialize in fertility and all Women’s health but I also treat other things like all sorts of pain, insomnia, all types of stress and mental health struggles, digestive, and autoimmune issues. Here’s a pic of cupping an old friend who always wants a treatment when she’s visiting. Cupping is very helpful for back pain.

Last year I completed a Women’s Health in Functional and Integrative Medicine with Dr. Aviva Romm. It was hard work but it helped me understand more about health and be able to mix my knowledge of Chinese medicine with Western medicine. I have worked with women and fertility for many years and now I feel even more prepared to help women of all ages care for their health!

I am up and running again after the pandemic and major knee surgery. I’m at a new location in Mohegan Lake working with a pt. I am happily accepting new and established patients! If you tell me you saw it here the cost will be $100 in the summer and will go up in September.
