The 4 functional lab tests I recommend every woman run as a yearly preventative

If you are over the age of 30 and consider yourself healthy as a horse (first off, you lucky duck) but second that does not exempt you from needing to do yearly check-ins on your health.

What is the saying?

If you don’t invest in your health now you will pay for it later.

Support your farmer. Not big pharma.

Our health is drastically declining as a nation due to our extremely toxic environment, lack of nutrients, stressful lifestyles, and poor diet choices.

I wish I didn’t have to say that yearly check-ins were necessary but they are.

Conventional care is only about diagnosis and symptom management.

With functional holistic care we peel back layers, we give you a blueprint of your current health, we understand that no person is the same and we understand the body works as a whole and everything is connected.

We understand that the body is influenced by our environments, stressors, diet and lifestyle.

We help bring your body back to it’s original design.

We ask WHY and HOW, we don’t settle for THAT’S JUST HOW IT IS.

We bring you hope and know true healing is possible.

We help you understand what is actually happening in your body.

Preventative care is worth the investment knowing without health, you won’t have life.

Health and happiness is your birthright.

5 observations I’ve made during my 5 years in practice as a women’s health practitioner

5 years in practice working with hundreds of women.

Working in this space has been the most healing, not only for my clients but for myself and the biggest learning experience of my life. What a gift it has been to help all the women I have.

I will always remember one of my very first client calls.

A woman came to me because she had lost her period and had a host of symptoms due to over-exercising and under-eating because of her desires to have that perfect body and because of “health,” she thought she was doing what she needed to do to be worthy and healthy.
She wanted her period back. She wanted her life back and most importantly to feel alive again and nourished in all areas of her life.

During our call she started crying and said “You know, it’s just really hard being a woman”

She felt that she was going to lose her identity as the healthy fit woman if she pursued REAL health to get her period and life back.

I still get choked up to this day thinking about that call.

That was the call that I never knew would change my entire trajectory of how I talk to women, how I take clients and how I show up in the world to help people.

From that day forward I absolutely refused to be a part of a holistic health culture that promotes restriction, diets, detoxes, eliminations for symptom management or dieting for weight loss. I’ve seen first hand what it does to women.

Working with women has been challenging but so rewarding. Everyone has a story and I hope I have helped you in some way change that story.

Toxic advice in the holistic health space

Whew. I am exhausted just writing all that.

The more and more I work with women I see one common thing. Everyone is so damn stressed about what they should be doing for their health.

Thanks to social media and everyone needing to share their two cents. Health has never been more confusing.

Keep in mind that what influencers or practitioners share online is usually only 1/100th of the story or education behind a certain topic. Everything is nuance. We need to start looking at it through that lens.

One thing I know for sure is the alternative health space is ever changing.

Someone will debunk that same study you based your entire diet and life on.

There will always be ex vegans, ex intermittent fasters, ex carnivores, ex keto’ers’, ex vegetarians….

But you know what never goes out of style or needs to be debunked? Eating REAL traditional food. Nobody, not one person will say they are recovering from eliminating processed man man garbage and switching to eating real traditional food. Not a single person.

The biggest problem is education. A lot of the things we see online we question or partake in only because we don’t quite understand how our bodies work. Your best and most powerful superpower is learning how your body works, the food you are consuming, where it comes from and being your own health advocate.

If we all understood how our bodies worked and knew how to tune in we would not need to outsource our health. Once you understand how your body works and what it actually feels like to be nourished there is no looking back, you sniff the bullshit from a mile away.

Be aware, be intentional, health is not unattainable even tho it seems that way.

What does health mean to you?

I can assure it it’s not about obsessing over every little symptom and thing that might be causing said symptom and the next supplement or gadget that will help. Once you realize the healing journey is never over and your body will continue to show symptoms because shocking, YOU ARE ALIVE! Things start to make a lot more sense.

You will never biohack, supplement, fast, restrict food, avoid chemicals like the plague, breathe, meditate, cleanse your way back to health.
