Iâve learned a few things over the last 7 years as a nurse practitioner that help me keep up with it allâŚ
â Prioritizing my sleep like itâs part of my treatment plan
This is non-negotiable. If I donât get enough sleep, Iâm no good to anyone.
â Supporting my body with nutrition, not restriction
Many of my patients come to me for gut health and weight loss support, and I value nutrition over restriction. Working with my body and not against it has made the biggest impact in my relationship with myself.
â Getting to the root cause instead of chasing symptoms
This took time. But once I recognized the limitations of traditional medicine, it led me to functional medicine, focusing on identifying and addressing the underlying imbalances to truly restore health.
â Creating space to actually listen to my body
A few quiet moments before the kids wake up. A breath at a stoplight. Taking my time in the evenings. These small moments of tuning in are what help me feel grounded, empowered, and in sync.
Hi, Iâm Dr. Yuliya Plotkin and itâs my goal to help my patients in achieving long-term wellness and improved quality of life so they can show up for any role.
