Mold allergy symptoms are similar to other allergies and can include a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, and a cough.

For people with asthma, mold can also trigger symptoms like wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

For some people, allergies can cause low lying inflammation and NOT the typical sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes or sore throat. Instead allergies can cause stomach upset, bloating, constipation, skin irritation.

How do you know if you’re truly allergic to mold, cedar or other allergens? Get allergy skin testing which shows what you’re allergic to AND measures the severity.

Modern testing doesn’t involve needles, just a plastic kit called a prick test. You get results that same day as testing.

From there, I formulate customized allergy drops for each individual person which helps people NOT SUFFER from allergens by teaching your immune system to become immune to allergens!

DM me if you have any questions about allergy testing or drops. Schedule a consult or appointment via link in bio or

Your pelvis/groin area can become dysfunctional when you’re STRESSED (ie sleeping less than 8hrs/night, on the go, skipping meals, relying on caffeine daily, mind racing, unresolved trauma).

How the fight-or-flight response affects the pelvic floor:

Increased muscle tension: The “fight or flight” response primes the body for action by tensing muscles. The pelvic floor is not exempt and can become chronically tight.

😵‍💫 Nervous system overactivity: Chronic stress can lead to a state of central sensitization where the nervous system becomes more sensitive, making the pelvic floor and surrounding tissues more prone to pain and dysfunction.

😣 Bracing and holding: When in “brace mode” due to stress, fear, or pain, the pelvic floor can constantly brace itself. This can worsen symptoms and create a self-perpetuating cycle.

😮‍💨Impact on breathing: Tensing the core can lead to shallow chest breathing, which further fuels the stress response. Deep diaphragmatic breathing is essential for calming the body, note this YouTube video and the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

😵Hormonal imbalances: Chronic stress can also disrupt hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which can contribute to pain and other symptoms.

A man’s pelvic floor health is directly linked to erectile dysfunction (ED) because strong, healthy pelvic floor muscles are essential for maintaining erections and blood flow.

Pelvic floor physical therapy, including exercises, can significantly improve erectile function, especially in cases of mild to moderate ED, by enhancing blood flow and muscle function.

Dysfunction can result from various factors, including surgery, obesity, stress, or nerve damage, and treating it can also alleviate other issues like pelvic pain and urinary problems.

Traveling can cause anxiety due to a combination of factors like the stress of planning and the unknown, fear of specific modes of transport, separation anxiety, or a feeling of loss of control.

In Ayurvedic medicine, the action of travel causes imbalances in Vata, which is energy of wind and movement. This imbalance can arise two weeks prior to traveling.

How to manage travel anxiety
Plan ahead: To reduce the feeling of being out of control, plan the first few days of your trip in detail, such as looking up transportation and restaurants at your destination.

I pack my own food and teas to be prepared and help my gut stay healthy and hydrated.

Use relaxation techniques: Try slow, paced breathing exercises or use a meditation app to help manage feelings of restlessness.
Prioritize self-care: Make sure to build in time for activities like exercise or a relaxing manicure before your trip to de-stress.
Connect with others: Sharing your fears and finding support in online forums or local groups can be helpful.
Seek professional help: If travel anxiety significantly impacts your life and causes you to avoid trips, consider talking to a professional. Psychotherapy, like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or exposure therapy, can be effective treatments.

Schedule for a consult with me to find out more about how to help improve your health or keep your health balanced while traveling (link in bio or DM me).

Movember is Men’s Health Awareness Month!

EYE EXAMS are an IMPORTANT part of health screening and Erectile Dysfunction prevention 😳

Underlying blood vessel problems are a common cause of both erectile dysfunction (ED) and eye conditions.

Studies have shown that issues like narrowed retinal blood vessels, which are associated with atherosclerosis and conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, can be predictive of ED.

Additionally, some ED medications can cause temporary vision side effects or, in rare cases, be linked to more serious vision loss, like ischemic optic neuropathy, particularly in those with pre-existing cardiovascular risk factors.
