Connecting the Dots

One of the biggest dots 🔅that Functional medicine helps connect for people is the that we are seeing symptoms earlier than a conventional doctor. 📊📋👩🏻‍🔬

When your conventional doctor looks at lab work they are looking to see if you are in a diseased state. 🦠😦

We can have symptoms {before they are “abnormal”} and Functional and Eastern Medicine focus on preventing and reversing issues before the get out of control. 😃💪🏾💪🏼

✔️When we look at labs we are looking to see where your body is already in balance and where it needs support.

✔️We are looking to see if your body is absorbing enough nutrients, or getting enough electrolytes, and we can use food, acupuncture, and herbs/supplements to support your body’s ability to function as best as possible on its own.

Finding Balance

B A L A N C E ☯️🌓 Yesterday marked one of two days in a year where the light and dark parts of the day are equal. And now the light will inch by inch keep on getting longer than the dark until the end of June and the Summer Solstice 🌞

. . .

It’s a great time to get outdoors and enjoy even just a little bit of play! Yes, adults I am talking to you. 💗 ***5 Minutes a Day*** Play could be enjoying a book under a tree, it could be walking in the grass, or talking a long walk home or an extra stroll around your neighborhood or at work on your lunch break. I know we all tend to be overscheduled. BUT, get out today. This week, even 5 minutes helps. It will improve your mood and energy tremendously. And then you can get back at what is on your list after that …

Everything in Moderation - Including Moderation

Everything in moderation including moderation
❤️
Let’s give a little shout out to #OscarWildeand his quote “Everything in moderation including moderation”. ☯️
.
I think that this quote is so right on when it comes to the mission of Eastern Medicine. It is so important to do our best when it comes to health, diet, lifestyle, wellness, yada yada, and sometimes you just gotta indulge and enjoy! There is so much in taking that break from moderation that brings us optimal health. Let’s all take some time today to not be so hard on ourselves ;) .
