Got mold aka myocotoxins?
Mold is an insidious problem in our food and environment that contributes to a degradation of health and disease.

Getting the best sources of coffee, grains, dried fruits and meats possible can help. Many gluten- containing grains (wheat, barley, rye) have been found to contain the mold toxin - Ochratoxin A.

Doing a gentle detox regularly to maximize your ability to biotransform these toxins like our Detox programs found on our website under healing programs is a good idea as well. 🥜

Since ochratoxin A (OTA) was discovered, it has been ubiquitous as a natural contaminant of moldy food and feed. The multiple toxic effects of OTA are a real threat for human beings and animal health. For example, OTA can cause porcine nephropathy but can also damage poultries. Humans exposed to OTA...

A nice explanation of the importance of your lymphatic system in health disease and beauty. The only thing missing is how Acupuncture cupping and gua sha stimulate the lymph.

One of the most intriguing and dynamic relationships that the human body possesses, is that of the immune system and lymphatics. Lymph has long been researched and upheld by many physicians and therapists as the “elixir of life.”

Have you tried Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral therapy is a physical therapy technique that works on the fascia and connective tissue and brings the body into balance. It works with the rhythm of the cerebral spinal fluid to help relax and rebalance the nervous and musculoskeltal system…. And it is incredibly relaxing, nurturing, and healing.💕
Common conditions that can benefit greatly from craniosacral therapy include:
💙pain
💙connective tissue disorders
💙concussion and injuries
💙muscular and hormonal imbalances
💙emotional trauma and pain stuck in the body
💙stress and the need for deep healing

At Artemis Wellness Center we combine craniosacral therapy with Acupuncture to synergize its effect on the connective tissue, fascia, and energetic systems of the body, mind and spirit to induce deep healing and harmony and release old patterns of dysfunction. 🌸
Here is a study on it that showed
“In patients with chronic pain, this meta-analysis suggests significant and robust effects of CST on pain and function lasting up to six months”

Being on birth control pills starting early in adolescence when bone health is crucial for healthy aging has been linked to compromised bone health- osteopenia and osteoporosis. Here's a research study on the connection:
"A 2021 review found that estrogen in birth control could increase the risk of bone loss at any amount, including low dose medications.

They also found that adolescents may be particularly vulnerable to these effects. This is of particular concern, given that females achieve about 95% of their adult bone mass by the age of 17 years. The authors noted that various factors, such as diet and calcium intake, could also influence BMD.

Adults older than 30 years experience natural decreases in bone mass as they age. However, the concern is that taking birth control could accelerate this process or reduce fully developed bones by early adulthood.

As such, researchers are still trying to understand how birth control might increase the risk of osteopenia (decreased BMD) and, eventually, osteoporosis (weak and thinning bones)."

At Artemis Wellness Center we provide holistic treatments for hormone imbalances, acne and skin issues and many of the non-birth control reasons why young women are put on birth control because in conventional medicine, it is their only tool. We have many more ways through evidence-based integrative medicine and eastern medicine to help young women through this crucial phase and create a healthier, happier trajectory for their future. The choice is always yours...

Some birth control methods have been linked with reduced bone density. The risk may be greater in people who start taking them during adolescence.

“Psychedelic drugs have recently emerged as plausibly effective pharmacological agents for the management of depression, anxiety, and other neuropsychiatric conditions, including those that are treatment-resistent. The latter half of the 20th century marked a revolution in the treatment of mental illnesses, exemplified by the introduction of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and other pharmacological agents. Nevertheless, mental illness remains a major public health crisis, affecting nearly one billion individuals worldwide.

A hallucinogen drug, was approved for the management of major depressive disorder by the Food and Drug Administration in 2019. As of January 2024, two Phase III trials of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (M**A), a synthetic drug that inhibits the serotonin transporter, have been completed; the results indicate that M**A is superior to existing pharmacological treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder. A phase III trial of psilocybin, a naturally occurring serotonin receptor partial agonist, is currently underway. The following series details the current state of research in psychedelic therapeutics, including lysergic acid diethylamide (L*D), N-N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and ayahuasca, psilocybin, ibogaine, M**A, and ketamine.

Limitations:
While initial clinical trials of psychedelics for depression were very promising, trials of psilocybin with larger sample sizes (100+ participants) suggest that its remission rate is 25%–29%. This is about the same as the remission rate of antidepressants, which is roughly 30% according to the landmark STAR*D trial.

Conclusions:
Psychedelic drugs and structural derivatives offer a great deal of promise for the management of a wide range of psychiatric morbidities. It is imperative that clinicians become familiar with these novel agents and learn how to integrate psychedelic therapy with the rest of their care through open communication and referral”

Is it worth getting your hormones tested if you have attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? This and other studies show a correlation between lower than average levels of the hormone DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) and ADHD.
Our brain and body are connected through the intricate web of our neuroendocrine system and so much more..

At Artemis Wellness Center we offer both conventional and functional medicine testing, including the hormone DHEA-S, for a variety of conditions in our personalized integrative approach to optimizing health and wellbeing.

Got brain fog? Maybe it's not your hormones, or lack of sleep... it could be your allergy or sleep meds. "“Simply put, we have confirmed that anticholinergics, something as seemingly benign as a medication for inability to get a good night’s sleep or for motion sickness, can cause or worsen cognitive impairment, specifically long-term mild cognitive impairment which involves gradual memory loss."

"Leaky Gut" aka Intestinal hyperpermeability is a break down of our intestinal linings natural ability to provide a semi-permeable immune competent barrier between what we eat, drink, and are exposed to from our environment (bacterial, viruses, parasites, pathogens) and the area outside of our intestinal tubing system.
In the Anti-Inflammatory Diet for Dummies book I wrote with Molly Rossiter we have pretty pictures of what this looks likes and the myriad of things- stressors, nutrient deficiencies, food allergies, sensitivities, intolerances, crappy food, toxins, pathogens.........that increase our risk of leaky gut syndrome and how to eat to decrease inflammation.

It's important to take our gut seriously since it is an essential part of our immune system, makes most of our body's mood stabilizing serotonin, and is essential for nutrient absorption for our food and soooo much more ....
In this brilliant scientific article the link between leaky gut and inflammation, cancer, Gastrointestinal diseases, autoimmune disorders and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and dementia is explained and proven.
Furthermore, Naturopathic principles, advanced testing and therapeutics (diet, supplements, stress modulation) are highlighted as solutions to this underlying pathological problem.

"The optimised use of defined probiotic strains, microbial metabolites, and dietary supplements is anticipated to facilitate the tight control of intestinal barrier function. These approaches are expected to have applications beyond the treatment of intestinal disorders, with potential for use in the management of other chronic inflammatory or degenerative conditions outside the gastrointestinal tract."

we do functional medicine testing for "leaky gut" and provide personalized recommendations for probiotics, diet, supplements and holistic therapeutics to help you heal and create a new trajectory for your future wellbeing.
