There are three ways we can work with food: we can change what we eat, how much we eat, or when we eat. All three are important, but fasting is that underutilized third level – when we eat.
Overtime, many people will experience a metabolic imbalance. Metabolic imbalance refers to a disruption in the body's metabolic processes, resulting in suboptimal functioning and potential health complications. The body simply isn’t able to digest food and absorb energy properly.
For too long, confusion and outdated fears have left women without clear guidance on hormone therapy. For almost 25 years—ever since the Women’s Health Initiative was published in 2002—fear-based messaging has shaped the conversation, even as the science has steadily evolved. The problem is that conventional medicine has not evolved as quickly, leaving many women without access to the latest understanding of benefits and risks.
We all are aware at some level that cardiovascular health is a big issue. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States; about 12% of adults have diabetes (and many of them don’t know it); approximately 1 in 3 of us have prediabetes, and the majority of us are completely unaware of that as well. These are sobering statistics. While cholesterol and blood sugar (glucose) are important lab markers that are often tracked by your doctor, that is often the extent of what is assessed in a standard approach. But did you know that half of all heart attacks occur in individuals who did not have an elevated cholesterol level? The conventional prevention strategy does not give us as clear an idea of all the tools available to assess our risk, nor does it dive deep into all the ways in which we can decrease our risk. What can you do about it? (We’re glad you asked.) We have some answers!
While mammograms are important in the detection of already-formed cancer, there is much more that can be done to prevent breast cancer from developing.

Take a deep dive into the risk factors, both genetic and environmental (it’s a lot more than losing weight and eating your vegetables).

It has been said the quieter you become, the more you can hear. Mindfulness is the ability to pay more attention to what is happening in the present. Regular practice of mindful meditation has been shown to create changes in the brain that lead to reduced reactivity, allow us to navigate stress better, and be more appreciative of this experience we call being a human.
