Happy Doctor's Day! 👩🏻‍⚕️🩺

It's wonderful to see how much my practice has grown in 5.5 years!
I am board certified in both Family Medicine and Integrative Medicine.
Now I offer primary care services as well as Integrative Medicine consultations.

Great evening honoring Dr. Daniel Cameron who received the Pioneer in Lyme award this year at the ILADS (International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society) meeting for his dedication to the field of Lyme disease. Dr. Cameron has worked tirelessly for many years treating Lyme patients, has written several books on Lyme disease including a book on training physicians on how to properly diagnose and treat Lyme disease. I had the opportunity to do my ILADS physician training program with him in 2018 before I started my own concierge and integrative medicine practice and learned a lot from him not only about Lyme disease, but how to take the plunge into starting my own practice. I am grateful for all his teaching and dedication to teaching the next generation of physicians! Congratulations Dr. Cameron! 😀🩺

COVID is making a comeback and NOT in a good way like the Backstreet Boys!
Know your treatment options.
Early on in the COVID pandemic, Ivermectin was used as a safe, and effective treatment for COVID around the world.
But then the pharmaceutical companies in the US started attacking the use of Ivermectin as they were developing newer more powerful Anti-viral drugs like Paxlovid.
Historically used as an antiparasitic in places like Africa, Ivermectin has been used to treat worm infestations and parasitic infections and then was found to be effective against the COVID virus. Compared to newer drugs like Paxlovid, it not only has far fewer side effects, but it can also be effective at reducing potential long haul COVID symptoms.
As a doctor, I am now not allowed to prescribe this medication for anything other than for parasitic infections. As a result of being prevented as a doctor to use to weigh the research and evidence and make critical decisions as a doctor for my patients, online doctors have popped up that now who safely prescribe this medication for COVID. Please carefully look at physician's credentials before becoming their patient! The FLCCC only promotes legitimate doctors.
The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) is a healthcare organization dedicated to helping prevent and treat COVID.
Check out treatment guidelines for Early COVID infection on page 2 of this post and on the FLCCC website:

Consult a doctor before doing any self-treatment or taking any supplements!
All doctors should also check for drug interactions when prescribing a new medication!

Beet juice has some powerful, beneficial compounds.
It contains nitrates which help improve nitric oxide (NO) production in the body.
Some important benefits of NO:
✅ It's a vasodilator helping to improve vascular flow and health
✅It decreases inflammation in the body
✅It's essential for glucose uptake and regulates insulting signaling and secretion.
✅It allows brain cells to communicate with each other and keep them in a balanced state
✅In cancer it can limit DNA damage from radiation and boost the cancer-fighting ability of immune cells called macrophages

Low nitric oxide is thought to play a role in the pathophysiology of diseases like hypertension, diabetes and dementia.

At Vermont Integrative MD, I do genetic testing to look for gene mutations such as the NOS (nitric oxide synthase) genes and help people improve the production of NO in their body if they have this mutation through dietary and lifestyle changes and supplements. This is the study of epigenetics, specifically looking at the impact of lifestyle (diet and exercise) on the function of our genes and how we can alter them to improve function, lessen disease, and keep the body healthy!
Read more about the benefits of nitric oxide in the book "The Nitric Oxide Solution" by Dr. Bryan and Dr. Zand. Information from the book "The Nitric Oxide Solution"

Please read the following recommendations by the CDC on how to prevent from getting the Coronavirus and spreading it. When you go to the website, click on link "everyday precautions". Basically, use common sense and wash your hands, avoid from touching things like doorknobs, handrails, elevator buttons unless you use a cloth or better yet use a disinfecting wipe when touching these surfaces. For the time being, avoid large public events like conferences and concerts where many people gather in a large confined space. When in doubt, call your doctor!

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a virus (more specifically, a coronavirus) identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China.

What are you having for dinner tonight? 😋 Making a quick chicken marsala. For a dairy free version, substitute cashew milk in place of cream for a nutty flavor. Add in some bone broth which has beneficial effects for the digestive tract as well as our bones! I love this bone broth by Kettle and Fire ❤️
