She didn’t know it yet, but her hair shedding was sending a warning about her hormones… 😳

You’re a 40-year-old woman with a dry scalp, hair shedding, and hormonal changes. Who do you see first?

Most women jump straight to a dermatologist or try over-the-counter shampoos—but here’s the truth: the smartest first step is to uncover the root cause.

Hair shedding and scalp issues at this age are often linked to:

⚡ Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, estrogen, testosterone)
⚡ Nutrient deficiencies (iron, zinc, vitamin D, biotin)
⚡ Gut health and inflammation
⚡ Stress and lifestyle factors

Simply treating the scalp won’t fix the underlying problem. The key is a full assessment, labs, nutrition, and hormone evaluation—to guide targeted treatment that actually works long-term.

Heart disease kills more Black women than any other cause. But here's what the statistics don't tell you… 💔

It's not just genetics. Black women are more likely to have undiagnosed insulin resistance and chronic inflammation from stress that gets dismissed as "anxiety."

We're also more prone to:

- PCOS - affecting 1 in 5 Black women vs 1 in 10 white women
- Fibroids causing chronic anemia and iron deficiency
- Uncontrolled hypertension from chronic stress
- Metabolic syndrome that goes unrecognized

But here's the real issue - when we report chest pain or fatigue, we're more likely to be told it's stress instead of getting proper cardiac workup.

The medical bias is real.

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, cardiovascular prevention starts with comprehensive testing:
🔬 Inflammatory markers like CRP and homocysteine
🔬 Advanced lipid panels (not just basic cholesterol)
🔬 Insulin resistance and glucose metabolism testing
🔬 Hormone assessment affecting heart health
🔬 Nutrient deficiencies that impact cardiovascular function

The hidden reason you can't lose weight has nothing to do with willpower… 😳

Can't lose weight no matter what you do? Here are 3 labs I always run for my patients:

1. Comprehensive Thyroid Panel (not just TSH)
Testing: Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, TPO & TG antibodies

Why it matters: Your thyroid controls metabolism. "Normal" TSH doesn't mean your thyroid is working properly. If T3 is low or reverse T3 is high, you can't burn fat efficiently no matter how little you eat.

2. Fasting Insulin & Glucose
Testing: Fasting insulin, glucose, A1C, sometimes HOMA-IR

Why it matters: Insulin resistance develops YEARS before diabetes shows up. High insulin locks fat in your cells and makes weight loss impossible. Most doctors only check glucose and miss this completely.

3. Complete Cortisol Pattern (4-point salivary test)
Testing: Cortisol levels at waking, noon, evening, and bedtime

Why it matters: Chronic stress keeps cortisol elevated, storing fat around your midsection and disrupting all other hormones. One random cortisol test doesn't show the pattern.

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, these are baseline tests for anyone struggling with weight. When we identify what's broken, we can fix it with targeted treatment.

If you think bloating after every meal is normal, this will change everything you know about gut health…😳

Normal Gut Function (That No One's Telling Black Women About):

1. No daily bloating or "endo belly" - your stomach stays flat throughout the day
2. Regular, easy bowel movements - going 1-2 times daily without straining
3. Clear skin and steady energy - no crashes or breakouts from inflammation
4. No brain fog after meals - feeling energized, not exhausted after eating
5. You eat without fear - food doesn't trigger anxiety about symptoms
6. You feel light after eating - nourished but not weighed down

If this sounds impossible, you've been living with gut dysfunction so long you forgot what normal feels like.

Why this matters:
Your gut produces 90% of serotonin (mood), metabolizes hormones (weight, periods), houses 70% of your immune system (inflammation), and determines nutrient absorption (energy, hair, skin). When your gut is broken, everything else suffers.

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I run comprehensive stool testing to identify infections, assess microbiome diversity, check enzyme function, and measure inflammation. Then we create targeted protocols to restore optimal gut function - so you can finally experience what normal digestion actually feels like.

Healthy gut = balanced hormones, clear skin, stable energy, easy weight management, and reduced inflammation, comment HEALTH for your free diagnosis quiz 🔬

The transformation that happened in my clinic will make you rethink everything you know about period pain 💕

When your patient with "chronic period pain" finally addressed her inflammation, balanced her hormones, and healed her gut, and now her cramps are mild, her energy is back, and she's living pain-free for the first time in years.

Her story:
She came to me after 10+ years of debilitating cramps that kept her in bed for 3 days every month. Multiple doctors told her to "just take ibuprofen" or go on birth control. She was missing work, canceling plans, and living her life around her cycle.

What we discovered through comprehensive testing:

- Severe gut inflammation causing prostaglandin overproduction
- Estrogen dominance from poor liver detoxification
- Magnesium and omega-3 deficiencies amplifying pain signals
- Food sensitivities triggering inflammatory responses
- Chronic stress keeping cortisol and inflammation elevated

Our approach at Nina Ross Functional Medicine:
We didn't just mask her symptoms - we healed the root causes. Within 6 months of targeted gut healing protocols, hormone balancing, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and stress management, her periods transformed. She went from debilitating pain to mild, manageable cramps. She stopped missing work and planning her life around her cycle.

This is what's possible when you treat the cause, not just the symptom. Your period pain isn't "just how your body works" - it's your body begging for help.

The uncomfortable truth about Black women's healthcare that doctors refuse to admit…😤

When Black women don't respond to treatment, it's not because we're "difficult patients" or "non-compliant."

It's because:

- The diagnosis was wrong from the start
- Our pain was dismissed as exaggeration
- Testing was inadequate or incomplete
- Treatment was based on studies that excluded us
- Our unique physiology and risk factors were ignored

The reality:
We're told we have "just anxiety" when it's thyroid dysfunction.
We're given antidepressants when it's vitamin D deficiency.
We're prescribed birth control when it's PCOS or endometriosis.
We're blamed for weight gain caused by insulin resistance.
We're dismissed when we say the treatment isn't working.

Then we're labeled:
"Non-compliant" means when we stop taking medications that don't work.
"Difficult" when we advocate for ourselves.
"Dramatic" when we describe our actual symptoms.

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I don't assume you're hard to treat. I assume the previous diagnosis was incomplete. We start over with comprehensive testing and actually listen to what your body is telling us.

Have you ever been called "non-compliant" or "difficult"?😞

If you've ever left a doctor's office feeling gaslit and defeated, this is for you… 💔

What doctors are missing:
Endometriosis | Fibroids | Adenomyosis | PCOS | Autoimmune conditions | Hormone chaos

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I don't hand you pills and send you away. We investigate:
✅ What's causing the pain
✅ Why you're bleeding so heavily
✅ What hormones are out of balance
✅ If there's underlying inflammation

Your pain isn't "normal." Your concerns aren't "dramatic." And you deserve a doctor who actually listens.

Birth control covers up the problem. We find it and fix it.

This is what happens when:

✅Your symptoms are validated, not dismissed
✅Comprehensive testing reveals what's actually wrong
✅Treatment addresses root causes, not just symptoms

Before: Hair thinning for years, spending hundreds on products that didn't work
After: New growth at temples, thicker strands, confidence restored
Before: Hormonal chaos, irregular periods, weight gain, mood swings

What 95% of doctors ignore about hormone health will blow your mind… 😳

The one thing wrecking your hormones... and your doctor's not testing it:

Your gut health.

Your gut is where hormones get metabolized and eliminated. When it's inflamed or imbalanced, your hormones can't function properly.

What's happening:
Bad bacteria reactivate estrogen your body tried to eliminate → estrogen dominance
Leaky gut allows toxins into bloodstream → hormone signal disruption

Poor absorption blocks nutrients → can't produce hormones properly
Dysbiosis affects neurotransmitters → mood crashes
Gut inflammation → cortisol chaos

Your symptoms:
PMS getting worse every month | Estrogen dominance | Weight gain despite clean eating | Skin breakouts around your cycle | Anxiety and depression | Chronic fatigue

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I run comprehensive stool testing to assess your gut microbiome, identify infections, and measure how well you're eliminating hormones, comment HEALTH for your free diagnosis quiz 🔬

What I've learned treating hundreds of Black women about inflammation will save your life… 😳

After years in functional medicine, here's what every Black woman must know about inflammation before it's too late:

Inflammation is the silent killer behind almost every chronic disease affecting Black women - heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, fibroids, PCOS, and even Alzheimer's.

What's driving your inflammation:

- Chronic stress from systemic racism and daily microaggressions
- Processed foods and limited access to fresh produce
- Gut health issues creating constant immune activation
- Undiagnosed food sensitivities triggering responses
- Sleep deprivation and burnout culture
- Environmental toxins affecting your cells

How inflammation shows up:

- Stubborn weight gain (especially belly fat)
- Joint pain and body aches
- Brain fog and memory issues
- Skin problems like acne or eczema
- Fatigue that never goes away
- Hair loss and hormonal chaos

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I test inflammatory markers like CRP, homocysteine, and cytokines to see what's actually happening in your body. Then we create protocols to reduce inflammation at the source.

Lowering inflammation isn't just about feeling better today - it's about preventing disease 10, 20, 30 years from now.

Your future health depends on addressing this NOW, which inflammation symptom affects you the most? 🚀

What I discovered after treating 500+ Black women with hair loss will blow your mind… 😳

I've helped hundreds of women with hair loss, and here's the hidden truth no one talks about:

Your hair loss isn't random. It's your body's alarm system screaming that something is wrong internally.

The patterns I see repeatedly:

- Women spending thousands on topical treatments while ignoring internal dysfunction
- Hair loss starting after major life stress, pregnancy, or illness
- Thinning that gets blamed on "genetics" when it's actually reversible
- Multiple vitamin deficiencies that standard labs never catch
- Autoimmune conditions brewing silently for years

What's really causing your hair loss:

- Iron deficiency - even "normal" ferritin can be too low for hair growth
- Thyroid issues - not just TSH, but conversion problems
- Inflammation - chronic stress attacking your follicles
- Hormone chaos - PCOS, cortisol, estrogen dominance
- Gut problems - preventing nutrient absorption

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I run comprehensive panels that reveal what's actually happening. Then we create targeted protocols to address YOUR specific root causes.

The one thing I wish I could tell every woman before it destroys her health completely… 😳

Your gut isn't just about digestion. It's the foundation of your entire health - hormones, immunity, mood, energy, skin, and even your weight.

What most women don't realize:

- 70% of your immune system lives in your gut
- 90% of serotonin (your happy hormone) is made in your gut
- Poor gut health blocks nutrient absorption even with perfect diet
- Leaky gut triggers autoimmune conditions and chronic inflammation
- Gut bacteria directly influence estrogen metabolism

Signs your gut is crying for help:

- Bloating, gas, or irregular bowel movements
- Skin issues like acne, eczema, or psoriasis
- Brain fog and mood swings
- Food sensitivities that keep increasing
- Hormone imbalances and weight gain
- Chronic fatigue despite adequate sleep

At Nina Ross Functional Medicine, I use advanced stool testing to assess your gut microbiome, identify infections, check digestive enzyme function, and measure inflammation markers.
