⚠️🍔 Fast food does more than affect your waistline, 🍔⚠️ it can also impact your liver.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease affects people who do not drink alcohol and occurs when excess fat builds up in the liver. Over time, this can interfere with detoxification, metabolism, and overall health.

Research shows that people who get a large portion of their daily calories from fast food are more likely to have higher levels of liver fat.

Diet quality matters, not just calories. 🥗 Your liver plays a key role in detoxification, blood sugar balance, and nutrient processing. What you eat every day directly influences how well it can do its job.

If you are working on liver health, managing metabolic conditions, or looking to reduce future disease risk, our team is here to guide you with a whole body approach. 📞💪

Way to go for choosing to pack your own meals! 🎉🥗

Bringing lunch from home is a powerful habit, but it does not have to feel repetitive. If your meals are starting to feel predictable, try these simple ideas to keep things exciting:

🥪 Switch up your containers. A new lunch container or compartment style can make the same foods feel brand new and more fun to eat.

🌶 Add bold flavor boosters. Think pesto, chimichurri, hummus, or a flavorful sauce you love. A small addition can completely change a dish.

🍋 Brighten meals with citrus or vinegar. A splash of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar can wake up veggies, grains, and proteins.

🌿 Play with herbs and seasonings. Fresh herbs or a new spice blend can transform leftovers into something you actually look forward to.

🍎 Plan a satisfying sweet bite. Including a naturally sweet option like fruit with nut butter, yogurt with cinnamon, or a square of dark chocolate can help prevent afternoon cravings.

Packing your own meals supports your energy, your budget, and your long term health. What keeps your lunches interesting? Share your favorite ideas below 💬

Many women struggle with their health because of what is happening underneath the surface, especially within their hormone systems.

If you are dealing with stubborn symptoms, ongoing illness, or difficulty losing weight, your hormones deserve your full attention. They influence nearly everything in your body, including mood, energy, metabolism, digestion, and reproductive function. When they shift out of balance, the entire body can feel the impact.

The hormones that most often need a closer look include:

• Insulin
• Thyroid hormones
• Cortisol
• Estrogen
• Testosterone (yes, women need healthy levels too)

👉 A great first step is to have your hormone levels tested by a qualified practitioner. This information shows you what is actually going on and which areas need support.

Functional medicine takes this even further by ordering more comprehensive labs with markers that look beyond surface symptoms. 🔍 This is how we uncover the real root of what you are experiencing.

Stress can feel like a never-ending cycle 😩

When life throws challenges our way, our bodies release cortisol, the stress hormone, which can throw everything off balance. Stress can show up in both your body and mind, with symptoms like:

🌸 Racing heart
🌸 Trouble breathing
🌸 Digestive issues
🌸 Headaches
🌸 Muscle tension
🌸 Mood swings
🌸 Difficulty focusing
🌸 Trouble sleeping
🌸 Constant fatigue
🌸 Hormone imbalances

Stress can come from work, relationships, nutrition, or even too much media. There are ways to manage it effectively, but the first step is understanding your unique situation.

Our office focuses on getting to the root cause of your health concerns so you can feel like yourself again 💚

Sometimes conventional healthcare advice just misses the mark. 🎯

Many people with obesity are told to simply eat less and exercise more, but this advice is often vague and not always backed by science. 🙄 Researchers at Oxford reviewed 159 consultations between patients and general practitioners and found that most discussions lacked practical, effective guidance for weight loss.

⏳ The problem is that our healthcare system focuses on disease rather than prevention. Nutrition education is limited in medical school, and doctors rarely have time to offer guidance on lifestyle and behavioral changes.

Our office takes a different approach. We create a personalized, science-based plan that addresses the root cause of your concerns while supporting long-term health and wellness. 🌱

Reach out to us today to learn how we can help you feel your best. 🙂

🍎 Today’s recipe is a delicious granola that’s perfect for breakfast or snack time! 🍎

Ingredients:

1 cup raw pecan halves or walnuts

1 cup raw almonds

1 cup raw cashews

1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

1 1/4 tablespoons apple pie spice or cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

3 tablespoons organic refined coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup dried apples, chopped*

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F and place a rack in the middle. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Chop the nuts by hand or with a food processor.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts, coconut flakes, flaxseed, apple pie spice, and salt. Stir well.

4. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Pour this over the nut mixture and stir until everything is evenly moistened. Do not add the dried apples yet.

5. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Use a silicone spatula to flip sections or gently stir the granola so it cooks evenly.

6. Re-spread the granola and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes until it turns a deep golden brown. About 3 minutes before the baking time ends, sprinkle the chopped apples over the granola to lightly toast them.

7. Remove the granola from the oven and cool on a wire rack until it reaches room temperature. It may feel soft at first but will become crunchier as it cools.

8. Break the granola into clusters and enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.

Enjoy your homemade granola! 🍏
