Never Settle.

⁣My sole mission as a Physician is to educate my patients and community about the toxins we face in today’s world, the connection between toxins and disease, and how to EFFECTIVELY protect the body against these potential threats to health. ⠀
⠀
The good news: your body is intelligently designed and already knows how to protect itself by detoxification. ⠀
⠀
However, we need to actively create conditions for the body to optimize its detoxification process...which is exactly what I’m going to discuss today. ⠀
⠀
You don’t always need fancy or extreme measures to support your bodies ability to detox. Below are 5 simple ways to naturally increase detox your body.⠀
⠀
🥬Eat detox supporting foods: Luckily, paleo diet plan helps you eliminate common toxins that are found in processed foods such as (food dyes, artificial sweeteners, preservatives and pesticides). In addition, you can also add in specific foods to help support detoxification. A few options are lemons, artichokes, bitter greens and other cruciferous vegetables.⠀
⠀
🍵Drink #greentea: It contains EGCG, a powerful polyphenol that supports the body’s ability to detoxify.⠀
⠀
💦Sweat: Toxins can leave your body through the skin via sweating. A higher intensity exercise is a great way because it really gets the blood flowing and contributes to deep breaths. Just as toxins leave your skin during exercise, they can also leave through your lungs by deep breathing.⠀
⠀
💧Hydrate: Maintaining good #hydration status supports the kidneys in being able to flush out toxins. Be sure to drink enough water so that your urine is clear. For many people this will look like 60-75 ounces of water, or more, each day.⠀
⠀
😴Sleep: Many body processes happen during sleeping hours, including detoxification through the glymphatic system, so getting enough, high quality #sleep each night is important for both daily detox and recovering from any toxin-related illness. ⠀

⁣Everyone thinks that fitness is just about having abs, nice glutes, or a perfectly sculpted pair of legs - but real fitness is about so much more than how you look in a bikini 🎯⠀
⠀
It’s about being able to play sports and spend quality time with your children on a beautiful Sunday, or attending a special event like graduation or their wedding day. It’s about confidence, self-love, and loving the skin you’re in. ⠀
⠀
With that said, here are just a few reasons you should make your fitness a priority. ⠀
⠀
⁣• Helps with lymph drainage and detox.⠀
• Improves circulation. ⠀
• Increases feel good hormones to promote well-being. ⠀
• Improves cognitive function ( aka makes your brain work better ) ⠀
• Helps combat depression and anxiety.⠀
• Helps reduce inflammation. ⠀
⠀
As you can see...the list of benefits are endless. Now you tell me, in what ways has fitness and exercise impacted your life? Would love to hear in the comment section below.⠀

⁣If you’ve ever started a weight loss program or have explored various dieting options, then I’m sure you’ve heard about two of the most common diets today: Paleo and Keto. ⠀
⠀
There are so many amazing testimonials and success stories about people improving their health, losing weight, and reaching their goals.⠀
⠀
However, a question I always get asked is, “how are they different?”⠀
⠀
So today I wanted to discuss the differences:⠀
⠀
The Paleo diet focuses on high protein and low carbs. This means no grains, sugar, dairy, and processed foods. Instead, it incorporates paleo-friendly foods like fish, meat, eggs, nuts (except peanuts), fruits, veggies, and healthy fats like avocados, coconut oil, cashew butter, almond butter, or sunbutter.⠀
⠀
The Keto diet’s principle is following a higher fat, low carb, moderate protein diet. This essentially means lots of fats like avocados, dairy, nuts, meat, cheeses, etc. It involves drastically reducing carb intake and replacing it with fat… this reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state known as Ketosis.⠀
⠀

⁣Before becoming a physician I was working as a chemical engineer and manager with IBM.⠀
⠀
Until one day after returning from vacation, I became VERY ill. ⠀
⠀
From severe gut issues, to hair loss, to extreme fatigue… I was so sick that my colleagues at work thought I was ACTUALLY dying.⠀
⠀
I went to many recommended doctors with high hopes of healing my body. Unfortunately, I was only given medications which served as band aids and masked my symptoms without TRULY resolving the problems. My symptoms unfortunately continued to worsen by the day. ⠀
⠀
I decided to take my health into my own hands. I devoured every health book I could find, met with an ayurvedic doctor, an immunologist, a naturopath, and a long list of others practitioners, putting every piece of research together and experimenting with multiple diets until I finally reached a much-needed breakthrough in my own healing. ⠀
⠀
With my newfound breakthrough and recovery to health , I wanted to help people not have to face the same scary situation that I did- so I decided to enroll in medical school (and i stayed the course through school and residency while having two babies!). I was committed to changing peoples understanding of how to truly heal the body. ⠀
⠀
After residency, unsure of next steps to get the additional training I needed to support my initial mission, I joined to become an Internal Medicine specialist. Even though in my heart I wanted to be a different kind of doctor, I immediately fell right into the typical routine, seeing 20 patients a day. I wanted to spend time with people, to explore, to dig for clues to what was affecting their health, yet within 5-10 minutes, like many of my colleagues, I was telling my patients what prescription I was going to write.⠀
⠀
Then two years into practicing this like this, I got sick... AGAIN. ⠀
⠀
It was as if the universe was urging me to get back on track with my highest intentions for becoming a doctor in the first place. Ironically, the medication options in front of me had serious side effects and didn’t cure the problem...instead just managed the symptoms. ⠀
