Currently enrolled in a post doctorate program in Integrative Medicine. I will share with you some of this powerful knowledge that I’m gaining!
Integrative approach to chronic disease:
1. What is missing in the body? -nutrients, vitamins, minerals, endorphins

2. What is toxic in the body- heavy metals, environmental toxins, STRESS, negative thinking

3. How are these factors impacting the way your cells communicate with each other so that the body can function?

4. What are the metabolic abnormalities (as seen on blood work or urine samples) as a result of the way cells are functioning?

Comments appreciated!

If you sit at a desk and your back hurts and gets stiff, then this quick exercise is for you. When you sit, your back muscles get rounded and deactivated . Your gut instinct may be to round forward to stretch them, but that’s the worst thing you can do. Instead, learn how to rock your pelvis forward and engage your lower back in extension. Rocking your pelvis is different from just arching your back. It’s more gentle and opens your hips as you engage your spine! Open hips + engaged lower back= less back pain!

This is my go-to warm up before I work on patients or do yoga. It really opens up the fascia connecting your shoulders , forearms , and wrists. If your wrists or shoulders get tight from repetitive movements like working at a desk or a computer, I recommend trying this. You can do it from a seated position as well! I will be breaking down each movement in my next videos. Let me know what you think!

Neurotransmitter and hormones are signaling molecules that allow your cells to communicate with each other. Epinephrine is unique in that it is both a neurotransmitter and a hormone. It is commonly associated with a person’s flight or fight OR freeze response to the rush of adrenaline.
Do you flight , fight, or freeze?! Or does it depend on the circumstance?
