Did you know there is a "wrong" time in your cycle to go to the dentist?🦷

It sounds wild, but your hormones impact your oral health more than you think. 🤯

Ladies, if you’ve ever wondered why your gums feel sensitive at certain times of the month or how birth control actually affects your teeth—you need to tune in this Thursday, December 5 at 11 AM.

✨ Herb of the Week: Turmeric ✨

Golden, grounding, and deeply healing - turmeric is one of nature’s most powerful anti-inflammatories.

Here’s why we love it:
🌿 Anti-inflammatory powerhouse – helps calm chronic inflammation and support joint health.
🧠 Supports brain + mood – curcumin, its active compound, can help protect brain cells and support emotional balance.
🦋 Thyroid + immune support – helps regulate immune activity and calm autoimmune-driven inflammation (especially helpful for Hashimoto’s).
💛 Digestive ally – supports healthy liver detoxification and soothes the gut.

Try adding turmeric to warm drinks, curries, or as a high-quality supplement (like Curcumin Phytosome by Thorne) for better absorption. 🌸

Take a moment to calm your nervous system - close your eyes, take a mindful breath, and come back to yourself. 🌸

Your body doesn’t need another push — it needs a pause.

One deep breath can shift you from “fight or flight” into rest and restore.

Pause. Breathe. You’re safe. 💛

Next on my thyroid support list: ProOmega 2000 by Nordic Naturals 🐟💊
Many of my patients with hypothyroidism have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition — and omega-3s can help calm inflammation. 🌿
Plus, since hypothyroidism can raise cholesterol, omega-3s also support healthy lipid balance and heart health. ❤️‍🔥

Curcumin Phytosome (Meriva®) by Thorne is a highly bioavailable, sustained-release form of curcumin - the powerful anti-inflammatory compound from turmeric 🌿.

For those with Hashimoto’s or hypothyroidism, reducing inflammation is key to restoring thyroid balance. Curcumin helps calm the autoimmune attack and can even improve tissue sensitivity to thyroid hormones - a game-changer for those still experiencing symptoms despite “normal” labs.

✨ My go-to anti-inflammatory support for thyroid health.

Have a healthier Thanksgiving this year 🍂

You don’t have to give up your favorite holiday dishes to feel your best - just make a few mindful swaps!

Here are some simple ways to nourish your body and enjoy the feast:
🥕 Load up on veggies — pumpkin, squash, brussels sprouts & carrots add nutrients + fiber for better digestion.
🌾 Choose wholegrains — swap white flour for wholegrain bread, stuffing, or pie crusts.
🍒 Ditch the sugary sauces — homemade cranberry sauce with a natural sweetener is delicious and better for blood sugar.
💧 Stay hydrated — sip water between drinks and meals to support digestion and energy.

Healthy can still be hearty 💛

Every Thanksgiving, I'm put on Brussels sprouts duty in the Branin household and this is one of my first creations!

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:
1 pound Brussels sprouts, cut in halves
1/4 cup olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup almonds
3-4 anchovies finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place Brussels sprouts, anchovies and onion on baking sheet and toss with olive oil, bake until golden brown and just cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
In a dry non-stick pan, heat almonds until they are warm and toasted. Then chop the almonds. In a large bowl, combine Brussels sprouts, raisins and almonds. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

When it comes to supporting your thyroid, food truly is medicine.

An anti-inflammatory diet can make a big difference — especially for those with Hashimoto’s. Try focusing on:
✨ Reducing triggers like gluten and dairy
🥦 Prioritizing nutrient-dense whole foods
🚫 Minimizing processed and refined foods
🧂 Including thyroid-loving nutrients like iodine (from food, in moderation) and selenium

Small, consistent changes in your diet can help calm inflammation, balance hormones, and support your thyroid naturally. 💛

Pure Encapsulations’ Thyroid Support Complex is packed with key nutrients for healthy thyroid function — including selenium, iodine, zinc, and tyrosine (the amino acid that forms the backbone of thyroid hormone). Plus, it features supportive herbs like ashwagandha to help keep things balanced.

Your thyroid does so much — regulating energy, metabolism, mood, and more.

When it’s underactive or affected by Hashimoto’s, supporting it nutritionally can make a world of difference.

Here are some of my go-to supplements I integrate into patient protocols to help restore balance and calm inflammation:
💛 B Complex Plus (Pure Encapsulations): Supports thyroid hormone production with essential B vitamins, especially B12.
💛 Thyroid Support Complex (Pure Encapsulations): Provides key nutrients — Selenium, Iodine, Zinc, and Tyrosine — plus Ashwagandha to support adrenal health and hormone conversion.
💛 ProOmega 2000D (Nordic Naturals): Omega-3s + Vitamin D help lower inflammation and support immune balance in Hashimoto’s.
💛 Curcumin Phytosome (Thorne): A potent anti-inflammatory that helps calm autoimmune activity and improve tissue sensitivity to thyroid hormones.

When used as part of a holistic plan, these nutrients can help the thyroid and the whole body function more optimally. 🌸

Did you know that many cases of hypothyroidism are actually caused by Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis?💛

While hypothyroidism describes an underactive thyroid, Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition — the immune system attacks the thyroid, leading to inflammation and reduced hormone production over time.

Understanding the causes behind your thyroid imbalance is the first step toward real, lasting healing.
