Proteinuria (protein in the urine) is NOT from the protein you eat!

What is proteinuria?

Normally, there is no protein in your urine because the filter in your kidney is too tight to allow a large molecule like protein through

When the filter in your kidney is damaged, protein in your urine shows up. It’s one of the first signs of damage not just to your kidneys, but to your blood vessels as well!

What causes it?

Diabetes (goal hgb A1c is

Replying because YES 😭

I thought “lighting doesn’t matter that much”

…until I changed mine and my entire nervous system calmed down

like my brain literally feels quieter in this room now

if you have ADHD or get overstimulated easily, your environment matters WAY more than people talk about

these are the exact lights + setup I use daily 🤍
I 🔗 everything in my bío if you want it

this is one of the few things that actually made a noticeable difference for me

As an ADHD adult, I am finally accepting my free will to change my surroundings to bring joy and dopamine.

For so long, I lived in survival mode and didn’t care what my environment looked like.

Now that I’ve finally reached a point of my life I can slow down and reset my nervous system, I’m finding ways to bring that joy and wonder to life.

This was an ugly domed light with burnt out light bulbs, when I found out I could get these color changing lights, I was thrilled! I can even change the lights to be regular or to different colorful scenes so I’ll never get bored.

What have you done lately to improve your surroundings? Or what would you like to do?

Bestie, we need to talk

You do not need a partner who forces you to choose between them or your goals.

You do not need a partner who says they support you with their words, but their actions are the opposite (starting fights at night when you have to wake up early the next morning, telling you not to study, guilting you for going to work, expecting you to care the full mental load of running a household while also getting your education/working on building a career, not celebrating your wins or making your success about them)

You honestly don’t need a partner at all

Before anyone gets in the comments and calls me single and bitter, I’m happily engaged to be married (in 4 months!!!) and experiencing this true genuine love has inspired me to speak up for women who are in that uncertain time and are at a crossroads in their lives where they think they have to choose one road or the other.

Ask yourself, if being an educated woman meant you’d be single forever, why are most educated women married and have families?

I have no idea how people still so eagerly hold up this myth when it’s so clearly untrue

But I remember being where you are bestie, feeling in your heart you want to pursue your dream but also knowing you want a family. Trust me, I cried to God BEGGING him to change my heart and take away my want for family if it wasn’t meant for me.

He never did, and literally one month to the day after starting my job as an attending physician I met my fiancé, and in less than 2 years we will be married 💕

Trust your talents, trust your intelligence

Does your pool get smaller when you’re educated? Sure, but you WANT it to be, do you really want insecure partners who are looking for someone easier to control and manipulate? No! So who cares if your education filters them out?

Dating was way more fun the more educated I got and the pool I selected from was smaller but was filled with more emotionally intelligent people

You CAN have both bestie 💕

Also lemme know if you like yap sesh, I tried to make this a 10 second video but I can’t help myself, I gotta tell you ALL the things 😅

Reminder to take care of yourself too! I know you’re out there being a people pleaser and saving everyone else, time to save yourself babe 💕

If you knew there was a way to prevent the big scary c word (sorry I’m still trying to get Instagram to know I’m a real doctor so they don’t hide my posts for saying medical terms lol) would you take it? Of course!

I know for a lot of millennials, we were already in college when these came out and many of us were not going to primary care or taking care of ourselves. They used to say if you were over 26 there was no point in taking it, because they assumed we were all married by then 😭

If you’re under 45 it is still recommended and covered! If you’re over 45, that’s a discussion with your doctor but I knew an over 45 year old OBGYN who got the new version that covered more strains as soon as it came out, and she’s a genius so…

Please talk to your healthcare provider and discuss your own risks and benefits.

I just got mine done today and it cost $0! So def consider it after talking with your healthcare provider 💕

Have a good day bb! 💕

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been told that an educated woman cannot find someone to love her 🙋🏼‍♀️

I remember hearing that in my 20s and PANICKING!

While I knew being a doctor was my calling, so was being a wife and mother! I didn’t want to miss that!

And I had so many people tell me I couldn’t have both, family, friends, partners, medical advisors, and even (male) doctors 😭

Coming from the home life I did, I wanted nothing more than to be loved, desperately.

Fortunately, my heart was also set on being a doctor and every time I had a man tell me to choose between him or going to med school, I chose med school.

Now, I’m happily a specialist physician, I’m doing what I love and what I was born to do.

And wouldn’t you know it, I met the love of my life a month to the day after starting my new attending job!

Do not give up your dreams of becoming a physician babe, or whatever dreams you have, the right partner will be there cheering you on 💕

Also what do we think of the wedding makeup? This was the end of the day I had my trial and I was thinking the contour looked a lil muddy but lemme know!

Also I promise I’m making content 😭 my poor Gen Z editor is having a time trying to edit my yapping into short minute long segments, bless them 💕🙏🏻😂

I was told I shouldn’t post memes anymore

Would it be ok if I posted in subscriptions?

Here’s my non-AI response (don’t you miss that) to my feelings of this meme:

As a kid, all I wanted to do was fit in, unfortunately I was adult size in second grade (5’2 and 140lb) and I kept growing every year after that.

I also moved every 6 months-year until middle school. Which made me the new kid and I didn’t feel cool.

I remember I was born in one state, left for a couple years, moved during the last 30 days of school. Got teased relentlessly for being from the “other state”. I got bullied and didn’t even know it.

Once a tall girl told me to give her my lunch money.

I thought, “wow she must really wanna be friends!”

So I gave her my lunch money.

Some time passes and I realize I’m hungry. I decide I want to eat lunch.

(I’m taller than her and not scared of anything)

“Oh actually I want to eat lunch,” takes my money back and sits down….

Many years later in college: omg she was trying to bully me!

So yeah, recovering people pleaser here, it is exhausting to do! I’m so happy I’m learning to listen to my body. (Who knew sleep was so important, )

Being a woman in medicine has certain connotations and difficulties on our path

People often tell us we should pick between medicine and love

You don’t have to do that, I’m happily engaged to a man who loves me for me and my intelligence and drive

They tell us it’s impossible to be in medicine and have a family, also untrue

It’s still an old boys club in many aspects and we have to work even harder to prove ourselves

There will be hospital staff that will try to belittle us while falling over themselves to help our male counterparts

We will be policed on our tone more often than not that we have to mask and put more energy into every interaction than our male counterparts who can just say what they need and it gets done

If you’re on this journey it’s difficult but it’s worth it

As women we have so much untapped power and influence and once you become a doctor you have the ability to further that

To all my lady docs: I’m so proud of you and how far you’ve come. Keep your heads up!

To all my ladies in premed: don’t let the haters convince you that this dream is for your future husband and not you, stick with it. You deserve to accomplish your dreams

Some lady docs I love: .beachgem10 .chanimal .md …and many more but I don’t have their screen names memorized 😅

Because I do believe in the power of prayer, please take a second and pray for my fiancé who went into emergency surgery. I know these things are routine, but I also know all the ways it can go wrong. Please please please pray 🙏🏻 or send good vibes or whatever 😭

If you’ve been raised by red flags or raised in an environment where you were told to study and not date and never spoken to about dating, you may have no idea how to identify green flags

Also if you were raised in chaos, peace feels unsafe, because it’s unfamiliar. Feeling unsafe feels like home and anxiety feels like butterflies.

ADHD and neurodivergent people also experience criticism at around 20,000 more negative messages by age 10 than their neurotypical counterparts, this affects our self esteem and primes us for toxic red flag partners who criticize us constantly.

Scroll to see some green flags you should look for.
❤️ Save to remind yourself in the future when you think you found the one.

Tell me in the comments what green flags you look for!
