So much medicine is in our back yards!
This amazing author will be in Roslyn April - looks like a great book to have if you love plant medicine.

I’ve been a bit silent on here because I’ve been deep in work mode, working on the imminent book release and my second book. I’ve been working with to plan a stellar book tour, and I’m so excited for the chance to visit you all. More dates to come for Olympia, Tacoma and the Olympic peninsula.

Comment with the event you’re coming to! I’d love to know who I’ll see there.

Let’s all stop trying to fit in boxes we don’t belong in. Your body will tell you clearly what it needs and wants to feel best. Just listen.

Just because it’s popular and research shows it’s beneficial doesn’t mean you should go all in.

Fasting, like most things, requires foundational and functional biochemistry.

If any of the above listed issues resonate with you, you shouldn’t be fasting - or you shouldn’t be fasting as long.

For example, if you’re doing time-restricted eating, and at 12 hours of no food you feel great, perfect.

If you’re doing it for 13 hours and experiencing any of the symptoms above, then you’re not ready. Go back down to 12 hours.

You’re not a failure. You’re doing what’s best for you.

It’s not a competition.

If you’re skipping breakfast, and a few hours later you’re cold, cranky and craving junk food, that’s a sign you should have eaten breakfast.

Breakfast doesn’t mean cereal and a coffee.

You must start your day with sufficient protein.

Starting your day with protein stabilizes your mood, reduces cravings, provides you sustained energy and improved cognition.

It’s pretty simple…

Listen to Your Body!

Then, adjust as needed.

Then, listen again.

Adjust again.

Dr Stanislaw is such a great resource!
If you have friends and family with Type 1 Diabetes who have not had a consult with her they’re missing out.
She’s an abundance of amazing tips and hacks.
Never underestimate the weight of managing type 1 diabetes for your loved ones. It’s a lot.

Can a type 1 travel safely? YOU BET WE CAN! In my 42 years with T1D, I've visited 35 countries, lived in 10 and for the past 3 years in Hawaii! Having the Dexcom CGM has been a HUGE plus in making travel easier. Always having my number easily accessible in my pocket* - whether I'm climbing a mountain, out on a boat, or eating unfamiliar cuisine - makes staying in range so much easier. In my T1D virtual consulting practice, I help type 1's everyday feel confident with being able to travel. One of the main questions I get is, "What about TSA?" Dexcom has written a great article to answer all of your tech travel questions. Go check out the FAQ in this article: https://www.dexcom.com/en-us/dexcom-airport-and-travel-guide-flying-dexcom-cgm

Emsella is an amazing technology from Czechslovakia using magnets to stimulate a full contraction from the muscles in your pelvic floor. A lot of us have trouble accessing and contracting these muscles on our own and when they get too lax we end up with incontinence issues.
This therapy is easy to do - just sit on the chair for 28min 2x/week for 3 weeks and get results as good as sugery.
It's hard not to get excited about it!
Whether its being able to do sports with your kids without leaking or being able to laugh without wearing a panty liner. A better quality of life can be had!
Come try it out tongiht - Girls night Out 5-7:30pm in Ellensburg.

Praying for the Ukraine. Safe passage for civilians, may food and water find those that are the most desperate, may policy makers arrive at right conclusions in time. May those wanting power find it in their vulnerability and ability to face their short-comings to face those they have harmed and to face and forgive themselves. May hearts be healed by the grace and love we offer each other by the good that will always prevail despite everything.
May this war find its ending.
So be it.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good afternoon all,
as some of you may or may not know, November is mens health awareness month!
I wanted to share a great read along with a fantastic podcast by Abraham Morgentaler MD from Harvard.
He was transformational in uncovering the truth about low testosterone and prostate cancer risk. This is an amazing podcast covering all the myths and controversies of testosterone therapy for men - from the head of the field himself. His book is also fantastic.

Check it out!
