I woke up early this morning with a full exercise

I woke up early this morning with a full exercise program in my head for one of my physical therapy patients. So of course like any crazy person, I hopped out of bed and typed it up!

I am overwhelmingly grateful that I get to play a role in helping people heal for my life's work. After 22 years, I am still giddy to dream up an exercise program for a patient. And the past 3 years of Functional Medicine Health Coaching have lit a fire in me that I could have never imagined.

Thank you to all of you for trusting me to guide you on your path to health.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.🧡❤️💛

This is one of those tenants of health that can be

This is one of those tenants of health that can be a small change for huge impact, and can contribute to increased cholesterol and blood sugar levels, among other things.

I recommend avoiding highly refined vegetable oils whenever possible. Things like soybean, corn, canola, sunflower and safflower oils. Not only are they often laden with pesticides, but these oils can cause oxidative stress and damage in our bodies.

When oils like those above, and even other oils, like olive oil are subject to heat past their smoke point, they release free radicals that react with oxygen to create compounds that can be harmful to our bodies. This makes our body's have to do extra work to clean up this mess, which requires more nutrients and energy. And we don't have a magical medicine cabinet of nutrients stored in our body, so we need to use what we have wisely!

Let me know if you have any questions!

PS: I know it's as sad to need see Olive oil up there! I love olive oil too, and try to purchase cold pressed, organic olive oil whenever possible. I stick to using this for cold dishes like dressings.

Hey All. Regular strength training is key. Also,

Hey All. Regular strength training is key. Also, making sure that you are eating an adequate amount of protein for your body is also key. But the topic for today is those lesser thought of reasons one might not be able to build or keep muscle mass.

#1. Magnesium: Here we go again with Magnesium! This guy is responsible for several hundred reactions in the body, one being proper contraction and relaxation of all muscles. In lab work, make sure your RBC magnesium level is in the upper ⅓’d of the reference range. There are also other underlying root cause reasons that you may not be digesting or absorbing the magnesium you do eat in your food.
#2 Insulin Resistance: Insulin resistance in a man can reduce testosterone by promoting its excessive conversion to estrogen, promoting higher body fat and lower muscle mass. This is a dynamic that can be at play long before your fasting glucose levels begin to elevate, and I am talking years before. If you are interested in looking at your past labs, check out your fasting glucose. Through the lense of optimal health, I consider anything about 90 as very likely that someone has insulin resistance at play.
#3 Low Testosterone: Especially in men (though applicable in all people), optimal testosterone key for maintaining muscle mass (if you are curious, ask for both Total and Free testosterone that is being tested in blood). There are several reasons this dynamic may be at play including, stress, insulin resistance, and exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (these are found in everyday personal care, house cleaning products, non-organic produce and so much more).

Whew. Growing a business is certainly not for wear

Whew. Growing a business is certainly not for weary. Put in a solid Sunday of work, 7am-2pm today.

Stress in small doses can actually be good for the body. Especially when it is a project you are excited about. It triggers a process called hormesis, which makes us more resilient. Think about strength training, and how breaking down muscles, triggers a repair process that makes us stronger.

Thriving is NOT about perfection. It's about Commitment and Challenge. 90% commitment to your health and 10% challenging your system with things like stress, toxins, adventure, risk, even 🍰!

These challenges keep us sharp as long as they are appropriate for your unique body, and that the challenge is LIMITED (in duration and intensity). It must stop, and then we allow ourselves to REST, RECOVER, FORTIFY, HEAL, and REPLENISH. For me, this is the hardest part. but I'm doing it today. Time in the woods with my girl, a little football watching, and book reading are in my future this evening. Oh and maybe another episode of the @themorningshow !

Side note for local friends. My hat was designed by @sandandflag . Chris, is an awesome teen who has built his business around philanthropy, supporting @newburyfoodpantry . Check out his awesome products!

Here’s the deal. I am all about getting to the r

Here’s the deal. I am all about getting to the root cause of your concerns, whether it is why you are suffering with an orthopedic condition, like plantar fasciitis, or it is about uncovering why you feel sluggish, can’t seem to lose weight, suffer from an auto-immune condition etc. I could fill pages with differnt complaints from my clients of states of dis-ease like these ones.
I see my role as your functional medicine coach or as your physical therapist to look at you as a unique human being with your own set of interconnected reasons you are suffering. When we can uncover this list together, and make the necessary shifts, you get well and know how to stay well.
Here are the key categories that contribute to how you feel...

➡️oxygen intake and spiritual mindset
➡️stress and stress management
➡️food/environmental sensitivities and allergies
➡️immune health
➡️energy generation and circulation
➡️nourishment and absorption ability
➡️genetic predisposition
➡️infections
➡️expectations, association, history and belief

DM me if this resonates with you, to set up a free discovery call to get started on your unique path to wellness.
