Dr. Galina Mahlis, ND is a graduate of the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine in Connecticut, where she received her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine. The four year medical program included intensive classroom instruction along with 1200+ hours of in-residence clinical training, a medical internship at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Bridgeport, CT, and numerous private practice internships with top professionals in the fields of Naturopathic, Allopathic, and Integrative Medicine. All her life Dr. Galina has watched those around her struggle with their health within the conventional model of medicine and she knew that there had to be something more. Being born in Ukraine, her family always relied on natural home remedies to treat ailments and that eventually inspired her to follow her heart and chose a career in Naturopathic Medicine.

Her journey then led her to Chicago where she achieved her dream of opening a private practice. Ultimately, she decided to move to Los Angeles, California, where she currently practices and resides with her husband, daughter, two dogs, and a cat. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Galina enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and pets, as well as reading, writing, and painting. Dr. Galina sees a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. She individualizes her approach for each patient and utilizes holistic methods while enabling the patient to play an active role in their care. The path to healing is achieved by the integration of conventional and naturopathic modalities and a combination of supplementation, nutrition, botanical medicine, counseling, and lifestyle recommendations to enhance the mind-body connection. Although Dr. Galina is trained in general medicine and cares for people of all ages, genders, and for many conditions, her special interests include weight loss, nutrition, women’s health, holistic dermatology, digestive health, and pediatrics.

✨ Sometimes life comes full circle in the best ways. I’m so excited to share that I’ve recently reconnected with a former employer from my very first job as a naturopathic doctor—back when I was working in a little health food store! Now he’s launched his own line of supplements called PALS, and he sent me a few samples to try.

In this series of reels, I’m sharing my thoughts on three of their products: a curcumin blend for inflammation support, a gentle liver cleanse formula, and a ginger supplement for digestive and menstrual health. And here’s a fun twist: I’m letting my mom try out two of them while I test the third myself. We’ll both keep you posted on how we like them and share our thoughts along the way! 🌿

🌿 Small daily habits for steady blood sugar!
The most powerful wellness shifts are often the quiet ones.

Balanced blood sugar supports your energy, hormones, mood, metabolism, and nervous system — every single day.

Here are foundational habits that make a meaningful difference:

🥗 Balanced plates — protein, fiber & healthy fats every meal
😴 Prioritize sleep — even one late night affects glucose
🧘‍♀️ Support stress — cortisol impacts insulin
🌿 Feed your gut — plants + fermented foods support metabolism

These habits may feel simple — and that’s the point.
Healing isn’t built from extremes — it’s built from gentle, consistent rhythm.

Your body thrives when you support it with patience and presence. 🤍

Save this to come back to as you build supportive daily routines.
Your future self will thank you.

✨ “Don’t sugarcoat your health.” ✨
Your body deserves honesty, attention, and nourishment — not quick fixes or ignoring the signs. 🌿
Let’s talk about daily habits that keep blood sugar steady and support long-term metabolic wellness.

Yesterday we covered early signs of imbalance — today let’s focus on powerful, simple shifts you can start now.

🥗 Nutrition: Build Balanced Plates
• Pair protein + fiber + healthy fats every meal
• Choose complex carbs like veggies, quinoa, lentils, beans
• Reduce refined carbs + sugary drinks
• Avoid long gaps without food — prevent dips & cravings

😴 Sleep: The Metabolic Multiplier
Even one night of poor sleep can impact insulin sensitivity.
Aim for:
• 7–8 hours
• Consistent bedtime + wake time
• Screen-free wind-down
Rest is medicine. 💤

🧘‍♀️ Stress: Calm the Cortisol Curve
Chronic stress spikes blood sugar. Try:
• Deep breathing / short mindfulness pauses
• Stretching or gentle movement
• Walks outside, time with loved ones
Little resets throughout the day = big impact over time.

🌿 Gut Health & Glucose
The gut microbiome plays a key role in metabolism. Support it with:
• Fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut)
• High-fiber plants
• Hydration
• Minimizing processed foods
Your gut and glucose are more connected than you think. 💛

Blood sugar balance isn’t about restriction — it’s about rhythms, nourishment, and daily self-support.

⚠️ Your body whispers before it ever shouts.
And when it comes to blood sugar, the early signs matter.

November is National Diabetes Month, but balanced blood sugar is essential for everyone — not just those at risk for diabetes. It supports mood, hormones, energy, digestion, inflammation, and long-term metabolic health.

Here are a few early signals your body may need support (even before labs change):

✨ Midday crashes or frequent hunger
✨ Cravings for sweets or refined carbs
✨ Brain fog after meals
✨ Weight changes around the midsection
✨ Night waking with restlessness or hunger

Your body isn’t glitching — it’s guiding you.

When we pay attention early, we support the body in staying balanced, resilient, and healthy long-term. Prevention truly is powerful medicine. 🌟

✨ Balancing Blood Sugar Naturally ✨
November is National Diabetes Month, which makes it a great time to check in on one of the most important systems in the body: blood sugar regulation.

Balanced blood sugar is about more than just preventing diabetes — it’s key for:
✅ Steady energy
✅ Clear thinking
✅ Hormone balance
✅ Healthy metabolism
✅ Stable mood

In my functional medicine practice, I look beyond glucose numbers alone. We explore why blood sugar becomes imbalanced — including the role of sleep, stress, hormones, gut health, and daily habits.

🔎 Early Signs of Blood Sugar Imbalance
You may notice symptoms before labs change:
• Midday energy crashes / feeling “hangry”
• Sugar or refined carb cravings
• Trouble concentrating after meals
• Weight gain, especially around the midsection
• Waking up at night restless or hungry

Catching these early signs allows us to course-correct and support long-term metabolic health.

Stay tuned tomorrow for simple, practical strategies to support blood sugar naturally. 🌿

🔋 Reclaim Your Energy

We often treat stress and poor sleep as things we just have to live with. But they’re actually two of the biggest disruptors of health — influencing hormones, metabolism, mood, immunity, inflammation, and long-term disease risk.

At Dr. Galina’s practice, we view stress + sleep as deeply connected systems.
When stress rises, sleep suffers. When sleep struggles, the body can’t repair, regulate hormones, or calm inflammation. Over time, energy, digestion, mood, and hormone balance all decline.

A functional medicine approach helps break this cycle at the root.
🌸 How We Restore Balance:

1️⃣ Stress & Hormones
Chronic stress raises cortisol, affecting insulin, thyroid, and reproductive hormones — often leading to fatigue, weight changes, anxiety, and menstrual/hormonal symptoms.

2️⃣ Sleep = Repair Mode
Deep sleep detoxifies the brain, regenerates tissues, and restores hormones. Even one poor night affects blood sugar, stress hormones, and mental clarity.

3️⃣ Personalized Lifestyle Support
True resilience goes beyond “relax more.” Breathwork, gentle movement, circadian rhythm support, and nervous system regulation are key — along with identifying hidden disruptors.

4️⃣ Targeted Nutrients + Testing
Magnesium, adaptogens, calming aminos, and herbal support can improve sleep + stress. Functional testing personalizes your plan.

🕊️ Your Energy Can Return!

This fall, check in with your stress + sleep rhythms. Small, intentional shifts can create major changes in energy, mood, hormones, and resilience. You don’t have to push through — your body is meant to feel energized + restored. 🤍✨

Together, let’s move beyond awareness into empowered action.

💗 Taking Action for Breast Health

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — a powerful reminder of the importance of women's health, prevention, and support for those impacted by breast cancer. Awareness matters, but true empowerment comes when we take action to protect our bodies and strengthen our resilience.

At Dr. Galina’s practice, we view breast health through the lens of functional medicine — focusing on root causes, prevention, and whole-body harmony.

✨ Here’s how we support proactive breast wellness:

1️⃣ Hormone Balance
Estrogen dominance and sluggish detox pathways can raise risk. By supporting hormone metabolism and liver health, we help reduce estrogen burden and promote balance.

2️⃣ Nutrition as Medicine
An anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich diet — including cruciferous veggies, fiber, and healthy fats — lowers inflammation, supports detox, and nourishes healthy cells.

3️⃣ Foundational Lifestyle Habits
Stress, sleep, and movement matter. These pillars regulate hormones, support immunity, and reduce inflammation — strengthening long-term breast health.

4️⃣ Personalized Testing & Insight
Advanced hormone panels, detox pathway evaluations, & nutrient testing allow a personalized approach — far beyond “one-size-fits-all.”

This month, as we honor survivors and hold space for those we've lost, let’s also take a powerful step toward prevention, awareness, and caring for our own bodies with intention.
Prevention is powerful. Healing begins with awareness + action.
