Today, five years ago, I got my license to practice in New Hampshire and opened my private practice. It's been a beautiful journey and I'm so thankful for each of you who have been there along the way: patients, friends, family, colleagues. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Much love to my number one guy for the eyes to see the potential, opportunity, vision every step of the way. You convinced me going back to school would be worth it! 😘
My rhythm without social media is giving spacious in ways I really like! So here's a brief hello and caio! Much love ❤️ You can always email me at info@shelbyguptill.com.

Hey there! Nice to see you here! 👋
I'll be taking a pause from this platform for a bit. Length of time to be determined!
On the horizon, I'd like to lean more into the day, sip up the details of the present, and not be autopiloted to pull out my phone during a quieter moment. My plan includes building in time for professional development and discovery; to listen to my long list of webinars waiting for me on folate methylation, nutrition for menopausal, and maternal mental health🥰
I've switched my phone to grey scale and it's doing weird & interesting things to my brain. Have you tried this?!
You CAN reach me quite easily and quickly on my website, email, and if you're an established patient through the Healthie portal as always! Booking online is also amazingly simple. If you're curious about care and working together, send over an email. We'll find a time for quick chat, answer your questions, and see if we're a good fit to work together.🙌

You feeling this? 😐
Change is messy. Or clunky is the word of choice for me lately.
Here's a heaping pile of permission to be messy while navigating your goals around food, movement, and nourishment. I'm available to support you while you travel the unknowns to establish those routines that feel good! ✨

A few patient wins for the week! ☀️
🔸Fasting numbers under 100 during pregnancy with bedtime snack & safe supplements
🔸More predictable bowel movements, less diarrhea
🔸Less menstrual pain before/during period
🔸Adding more consistent fuel, steady energy with improved focus and concentration
🔸More space and time for exercise that feels good
Wow, these are incredible! Keep doing the work, showing up, and prioritizing your care. It's slow, it's steady, you're worth it! 🙌🙌

Oh folate you are wonderful and do amazing things in the body! You especially help with rapidly dividing cells and preventing birth defects! 👊
You also have some other colleagues that need some attention, too!🧐
There's much more to consider around prenatal nutrition.
Have you scanned your prenatal vitamins recently? I recommend food first then supplement as needed. Taking into consideration preference and food allergies, a separate fish oil, choline, and Vitamin D may be necessary for some people. Check with your provider.
I'm curious, did you get info from your provider about safe supplement selection during pregnancy?👇

A quick PSA that food has nothing to do with morality. Yes, sneaky diet culture and restriction can make us feel differently.
Food, nutrition, eating CAN be fun. I repeat there is a choice for more joy, more pleasure, more flavor, and a more colorful dynamic relationship with food.
Swap these words in: "add, enhance, create, increase, enjoy" for these: "reduce, remove, avoid, eliminate, restrict". Your body will thank you 🧠👊

You don't need to be weighed at medical appointments. This is a decision you get to make. This may be a reason you avoid seeking out health care. It may not be helpful for you. 🙅
Perhaps you want or need your providers to monitor weight (maybe when medically necessary) and you turn the away or ask for it not to be recorded out loud. There are options! 👌👌
What ways are you advocating for yourself in your health care partnerships? 👇👇

Hi! Shelby here! I'm a licensed women's health dietitian and I'm here to support you on your nutrition journey.
A quick bit about why I have a pomegranate in my logo!

✴️They must be enjoyed with intention, strategy, and patience. It's not a fruit to be taken lightly!
✴️ Pomegranates aren't a car snack and can't be had on the go. A level of presence, time, and intentional eating is required.
✴️ Pomegranates are complex, intricate, and demand presence to disassemble. Whole fruit, smaller sections, down to the individual seeds.
✴️It's a packed with juicy gems that burst with flavor, antioxidants and crunchy seeds. Powerful with cloth staining power!
✴️They reflect in many ways my practice approach and energy working with patients. This will take time, it's going to be messy, it's worth the process, and it will be beautiful to enjoy the fruit of the labor you invest in your nutrition care. 🙏🙏

How do you stay present during meals and tune into what you need? 🍓🍓

That amazing butterfly shaped gland near the base of your neck does so much to keep our body running smoothly! 🦋
At times, due to genetics, pregnancy/postpartum, or inflammation, the thyroid needs more support. OFTEN patients report to me their TSH and related thyroid labs needs to get worse before their provider will pursue treatment. Yikes! 😬
What we can do is provide building blocks, micronutrient management, and implement lifestyle changes to promote proper function and reduce inflammation instead of playing the waiting game. Imagine that?! 🤨

In a 2020 retrospective study, the combination of both selenium and myo-inositol was found to be protective in reducing elevated TSH levels more effectively and more quickly than selenium alone group or control/untreated group.
Food for thought! You don't have to wait! 🥑

Enjoying those wide open fields ☀️🦬☀️🦬
How are you inviting more play, fun, recreation, flirtation, humor, laughter into your world? ✨
Often times, we find ourselves operating only from the administrative or to-do list mode. 📋
There is a need and time for this- yes! Do we create space for soulful rest and play? Invite these elements into your day. See how they feel, try them on. Does it change your sleep pattern? Ability to cope with stress? Digestion?
I'm curious to hear if you've notice any changes when you invite play into your day! 👇
