The pill can clear acne, but not by fixing what's causing it!

Here's what's actually happening: acne is often driven by androgens (testosterone-like hormones) that tell your skin to overproduce oil. The pill works by introducing synthetic hormones that suppress your body's entire hormonal cycle, reducing those androgens in the process. Clearer skin. But your underlying hormonal pattern? Still there, just silenced.

This is why so many women break out again when they stop, sometimes worse than before. It's called androgen rebound. When the synthetic hormones leave your system, your body overshoots as it tries to recalibrate, temporarily spiking oil production.

The pill is a mute button, not a fix. If you're only on it for acne, it's worth asking: what is my body actually trying to tell me?
Hormonal acne can be a signal of deeper imbalances such as: PCOS, gut health, insulin resistance, chronic stress, that never get investigated when we just suppress the symptom.

Know what's driving your skin. Work with your body, not around it.

Drop a 🙋‍♀️ if you were put on the pill as a teenager and never asked why.

Granola is a hormone super-food if done right!

Rolled oats + cinnamon + pumpkin seeds + Brazil nuts = a hormone-friendly combo for women in their 40s.

✔️ Rolled oats offer fiber which supports estrogen detox
✔️ Cinnamon helps steady blood sugar
✔️ Pumpkin seeds provide zinc for progesterone & hair health
✔️ Brazil nuts offer selenium for thyroid support

Small daily habits → steadier energy, mood, and hormones

March 2nd.
A gentle reminder as we step into a new month 🌿

“It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.”

At TCNM, we see this often in clinic. When patients begin small daily practices; better sleep, nourishing meals, deeper breaths, a moment of stillness, something shifts. Not overnight. But steadily.

Gratitude lowers stress hormones.
Gratitude supports nervous system regulation.
Gratitude creates space for healing.

As we enter March, instead of chasing “feeling better,” try starting with one small thing you’re grateful for today. Let your body follow.

What’s one thing your body is doing well right now? 💚

This week we bring you a little 'Life Update' from Dr .nd - let us know in the comments if you can relate.

"2025 was a year of transition for me.

I went from feeling strong and athletic, emotionally well balanced and hormonally regular to a year of injuries and early signs of perimenopause.

The list of injuries was unrelenting and although I was able to recover from every single road block, 2025 was a challenging year.

So, my update is this: in my 50th year,

Entering my 50th year, my body is maturing and evolving in the most incredible way. I am leaning into naturopathic medical care more than I have in decades.I am listening, learning and trusting the body’s ability to heal even more.

Thankful to have this powerful medicine and perspective on health and wellness in my life."

Jonah and I are so proud of our team for doing this work.

One of our goals as leaders in medicine is to make health education accessible — because when you understand your body, you can better advocate for yourself in a system where your voice and experience influences your health care.

We’ll cover:
🌿What PCOS really is (and isn’t)
🌿How to properly diagnose PCOS
🌿The 4 subtypes of PCOS

Why this is one of my favourite “power” breakfasts 🤍

Nothing fancy. Just real food that supports your body in all the right ways.

🥚 Scrambled eggs (2 eggs)
About 12g of protein
Complete protein to keep you full, support muscle repair, and stabilize blood sugar in the morning. Eggs are also rich in choline, important for brain and liver health.

🥑 ½ avocado
About 2g of protein + 5–7g of fiber
Healthy monounsaturated fats to support hormones and keep energy steady. The fiber helps slow digestion so you don’t get that mid-morning crash.

🍅 Cherry tomatoes (1 cup)
About 1g protein + 2g fiber
A simple way to add antioxidants (like lycopene) and vitamin C, plus hydration and freshness to the plate.

✨ Total (approximate):
Protein: ~15g
Fiber: ~7–9g

This combination gives you protein + fiber + healthy fats, the trio we often aim for in the morning to support blood sugar balance, mood, and sustained energy.

It’s simple. It’s grounding. And it keeps you steady for hours.

Sometimes optimal nutrition isn’t complicated, it’s just thoughtful.

If you’d like, I can also write a version that ties this into hormone balance, fertility, or metabolic health.

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” - Annie Dillard 🤍

We love this reminder.

Because in clinic, we don’t see dramatic, movie-moment transformations.
We see small shifts, repeated consistently.

It’s the protein you add to breakfast.
The 20-minute walk after dinner.
Going to bed 30 minutes earlier.
Saying no to the thing that drains you.
Actually booking the follow-up instead of “waiting to see.”

None of it feels life-changing in the moment.

But your hormones notice.
Your gut notices.
Your nervous system definitely notices.

And over time?
Those ordinary Mondays turn into resilient, steady, energized years.

Health isn’t built in extremes.
It’s built in how you spend your days.

So today, what’s one small choice that future you will thank you for? 🤍

My “life update” is less of an update and more of a systems reset.

The holidays have a way of disrupting routine. Structure loosens. Habits, both the ones that serve us and the ones that don’t get exposed. I’ve learned not to resist that disruption. I use it as diagnostic data.

The behaviour I continue to refine (and likely will for the rest of my life) is intentionality.

Acting with intention is upstream of almost everything else.

When I’m intentional, I’m more present.
When I’m present, I’m a more patient father.
I eat better.
I scroll less.
My training sessions become focused rather than performative.
Each rep has purpose.

“Being your best self” isn’t about intensity. It’s about attention.

Presence is a biological state as much as it is a philosophical one. It regulates stress physiology, sharpens decision-making, and reduces impulsive behaviour. And it’s trainable.

For me, the reboot isn’t about dramatic change. It’s about returning to intention — again and again — until it becomes baseline.

Most women are diagnosed with PCOS
before they’re ever taught how their hormones actually work.

That’s like being handed a math exam
without learning the numbers first.

Hormone literacy means understanding:
• how your cycle is supposed to function
• what your hormones are doing week to week
• what’s normal for your body
• and when something is truly off

Without that foundation, PCOS gets:
❌ over-diagnosed
❌ misunderstood
❌ over-medicated

And too often, the solution becomes “just go on the pill” without ever asking why symptoms showed up in the first place.

PCOS isn’t one-size-fits-all.
And neither is your cycle.

On February 27, Dr. Du La, ND and Natalie Senst, ND are hosting a FREE virtual webinar to help women of all ages build real hormone literacy, so PCOS can be understood, not feared.

This is for you if you want to:
✔ understand your cycle instead of guessing
✔ question a PCOS diagnosis with confidence
✔ make informed decisions about birth control
✔ stop outsourcing your health to vague answers

Because when you understand your hormones,
you understand your body.
And that changes everything.

Dr .nd hot hot set up is a masterclass in nutrient density 🥬✨

If we’re talking about greens with the most nutritional value, here’s what you’re looking at (and why they matter):

🥬 Bok Choy
One of the most underrated greens. Packed with vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, calcium, and powerful antioxidants. It supports bone health, immune function, and detox pathways — with very low calories and high fiber.

🥬 Napa Cabbage
Gentle on digestion but rich in vitamin C and phytonutrients. Cruciferous vegetables like this support liver detoxification and hormone balance.

🍄 Mushrooms (yes, they count as functional foods)
Not technically greens, but nutritionally elite. Rich in beta-glucans for immune support, B vitamins for energy, and compounds that support gut and brain health.

🌿 Green Onions
Small but mighty. High in antioxidants and sulfur compounds that support heart health and reduce inflammation.

If you want maximum nutritional return for your effort, focus on:
✔️ Dark leafy greens
✔️ Cruciferous vegetables
✔️ Variety (different colors = different phytonutrients)

This is what “eating your healthcare” looks like - fiber, minerals, antioxidants, and plant compounds working quietly behind the scenes.

Your body doesn’t need complicated. It needs consistent, nutrient-dense food like this. 💚
