Dr. Villa here, and this weekend marked not only another trip around the sun but also a celebration of the incredible journey of motherhood.

✨ As a doctor and a mother, this past year has been a tapestry of love, learning, and endless blessings.

🤱 This year, I've had the honor of guiding new mothers and women trying to conceive, offering medical expertise, emotional support, and a listening ear.

💖 Motherhood is a journey of self-discovery, where every milestone is cherished. From those first kicks in the womb to the first words, steps, and beyond, the joy of witnessing a child grow is unparalleled.

🌸 But let's not forget the challenges that come with motherhood—the sleepless nights, the balancing act, and the selflessness that defines it. I've seen firsthand the strength and resilience of mothers, as they navigate the complexities of their role with grace and unwavering love.

🎁 As I celebrate another year of life and motherhood, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the mothers out there. Your sacrifices, dedication, and unconditional love inspire me every day.

💐 To all the mothers, both new and experienced, you are the heart and soul of this journey. Happy birthday to me, and a heartfelt celebration of motherhood to all of you.

🌿🚫 I want to shed some light on this because knowledge is power! So let’s break it down:

Ma*****na is the most commonly used drug worldwide, especially in those of reproductive age.

1️⃣ Male fertility: ma*****na use in males has been linked to decreased s***m count, motility (movement), and morphology (shape), which can affect fertility. Additionally, ma*****na use may lead to hormonal imbalances and erectile dysfunction.

2️⃣ Female fertility: ma*****na use in females can disrupt the menstrual cycle and interfere with ovulation. It may also affect the implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus, reducing the chances of a successful pregnancy.

3️⃣ Timing and frequency: the impact of ma*****na on fertility can depend on various factors, including the timing and frequency of use. Regular and heavy ma*****na use is more likely to have a negative impact on fertility compared to occasional or infrequent use.

4️⃣ Long-term effects: prolonged ma*****na use can lead to the accumulation of cannabinoids in the body, which may have lingering effects on fertility even after discontinuation.

It is important to note that research in this area is ongoing, and individual responses to ma*****na use can vary. If you’re trying to conceive or have concerns about fertility, it’s best to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation.

✅ Stay Informed. Prioritize Your Reproductive Health.

Fatigue is a common complaint in my office. These are SOME of the labs I order on patients who complain of fatigue.

Poor gut health contributes to fatigue as well. If your gut isn't performing optimally, you will be drained. I typically recommend functional gastrointestinal testing to my patients to rule out underlying gut issues.

Fatigue is a common complaint in my office.

Now, there are more straightforward causes, like a hectic lifestyle, not getting enough sleep, etc.

But I like to rule out underlying issues.

This is my starting point. Based on your other symptoms, I’ll likely look into other root causes like gut health. If your guy is out of wack, you’re going to feel exhausted!

Did you know that vitamin D deficiency is common? It is estimated that about 1 billion people worldwide have low levels. Deficiency is becoming more common due to sunscreen use and less time outdoors.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning it is absorbed along with fats in the diet and stored in the body’s fatty tissue and the liver. It plays a role in balancing calcium and phosphorus, and bone metabolism. It has other bodily roles, including reducing inflammation, improving immune function, and helping with blood sugar metabolism. Unlike other vitamins, vitamin D functions like a hormone, and every single cell in your body has a receptor for it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The major sources of vitamin D are skin exposure to UVB radiation from the sun and dietary intake.
☀️ Twenty minutes of sunshine daily with over 40% of skin exposed is required to prevent deficiency.
🐟 The best dietary sources are fatty fish (mackerel, sardines, and salmon) and fortified foods like milk. Because it is fat-soluble, it does not dissolve in water ad is best absorbed when paired with high-fat foods -- avocadoes, nuts, seeds, eggs, etc.

Deficiency can result from several causes:
1. Decreased absorption
2. Decreased dietary intake
3. Decreased sun exposure
4. You have dark skin
5. Your kidneys can’t convert vitamin D to its active form
6. Age
6. Medications
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Signs that you might be deficient:
😷 Getting sick often
😴 Feeling fatigued
🦴 Bone pain or back pain
😔 Depression
💈Hair loss
💪🏼Muscle pain
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The dosing of vitamin D depends on the severity of the deficiency. Because vitamin D is fat-soluble, toxicity is possible. So please consult your doctor before beginning supplementation.

Male infertility is caused by multiple factors such as abnormal semen production or low s***m counts.

About 15% of couples have trouble conceiving, and over 50% of the time, there is a male infertility issue.

CoQ10 can help improve most semen parameters.
