If you look back in history 60-70 years ago, all food was grown organically and it’s only been more recently, with the modernization and industrialization of agriculture, that non-organic methods have become the norm. ⠀
⠀
The organic movement is really a return to simpler times and ways of growing food that align with nature and human health instead of harming both. ⠀
⠀
After all, what’s good for the planet is good for your health.⠀
⠀
Organic means that a food was grown with natural methods and without the use of chemical herbicides (like glyphosate), pesticides, antibiotics, growth hormones or genetically modified seeds or feed.⠀
⠀
Organic foods must meet the US Department of Agriculture guidelines for how crops are grown, animals raised and for food processing in order to carry the organic seal or use the word organic on a label. ⠀
⠀
When it comes to organic labeling, there is a lot of confusion and organic standards have changed over the years. ⠀
⠀
When you look at a food or food product, here are some labels that you will see, and what the labels mean.⠀
⠀
Check out the link in my bio to learn more about the various “organic” labels and why it’s crucial to pay attention to them.⠀

Quite literally, our skin is an external reflection of our internal health.⠀
⠀
Oftentimes when something shows up on your face, like the various types of acne featured above, it’s an important clue to something deeper going on in the body. ⠀
⠀
If you are beginning to notice fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging or are dealing with acne, rosacea or another skin condition, Functional Medicine has a lot to offer your healing journey by working to address the root causes of your skin complaints. ⠀
⠀
This is because Functional Medicine is based on the premise that all systems in your body are interconnected. ⠀
⠀
The skin doesn’t live and function separately from anything else in the body.⠀
⠀
What is happening elsewhere affects the skin and what happens to the skin affects the body as well. ⠀
⠀
EVERYTHING is connected. ⠀
⠀
Conventional western medicine, on the other hand, divides the body into separate systems. If you have a rash or acne, you might go to a dermatologist for some testing or skin supportive medications or creams, which may be helpful temporarily.⠀
⠀
Functional Medicine, in contrast, really honors the connections between all the organs and systems in the body.⠀
⠀
Many issues and conditions that show up as symptoms on the skin, may have roots elsewhere. One of the common ones is between skin health and gut health. ⠀
⠀
If you’re struggling with acne, rosacea, and other skin related problems, then I’d like you to read my latest blog post, “How to get better skin - Skin and the Microbiome Connection.”⠀

As women, we need to give ourselves permission to have fun with exercise. Let go of the pressure to “go hard.” Because there are so many things that keep us in shape. ⠀
⠀
Resistance and weight training are the best, but walking or jogging in combination with weights works wonders. ⠀
⠀
Yoga can also build bone strength while strengthening your muscles.⠀
⠀
The key to it is recognizing how beneficial it is for your body and how amazing exercise makes you feel.⠀
⠀
Treat yourself to a playlist, a motivational podcast, or listen to a book while you exercise. ⠀
⠀
Your body’s physiology will shift for the better with just 10 minutes of walking. ⠀
⠀
Challenges can be fun when you embrace an attitude of self-worth and contentment. And when you start forming new habits, be sure to celebrate your success as you give yourself the gift of moving your body.⠀

Are blue light blocking glasses a solution to toxic blue light?⠀
⠀
In a clinical trial of five different commercially available blue light blocking glasses, researchers found that the glasses partially filter short wavelengths of light and protect the retina of the eye from potential blue light hazards when compared to placebo. ⠀
⠀
In general, many benefits are reported from blue light blocking glasses, including these that you might notice with regular use: ⠀
⠀
• Decreased headaches ⠀
• Decreased eye strain ⠀
• Increased energy⠀
• Improved mood⠀
⠀
Better sleep – and all the health benefits associated with improved sleeping patterns including reduced stress, improved memory and reduced chronic disease risk.⠀
⠀
The best part about blue light blocking glasses is that it is a relatively inexpensive intervention with virtually no risks or negative side effects! ⠀
⠀

While natural blue light exposure from sunlight is beneficial for establishing the circadian rhythm, normal night vision, hormonal balance, neurotransmitter production and other positive health impacts, over exposure to artificial blue light is considered phototoxic. ⠀
⠀
Overexposure to artificial light, especially the excessive blue light from screens and devices may disrupt the circadian rhythm and impact sleep, both of which lead to symptoms and disease. ⠀
⠀
This excessive and toxic exposure to blue light may contribute to sleep loss and sleep disorders that affect health, longevity and quality of life. ⠀
⠀
So today I wanted to provide a few easy-to-implement action steps for supporting your natural circadian rhythm and sleep cycle by adjusting your blue light exposure throughout the day.⠀
⠀
Here’s how: ⠀
⠀
Prioritize natural light:⠀
Natural light exposure during the day helps to regulate the circadian rhythm and keep you awake and alert when you need it most. In the morning, get outside for 15 to 20 minutes of sunlight. In addition, open the curtains and allow for natural light exposure during the day when the sun is up in the sky. ⠀
⠀
Dim the lights at night:⠀
Full spectrum indoor lighting makes sense during the day, but at night the orange/red hues help to simulate the natural light changes with sunset. After dark, turn off the overhead lights if possible. Instead, opt for side lamps, install dimmers on your light switches or even install evening lighting using amber light bulbs. ⠀
⠀
Minimize electronics at night:⠀
The truth is that most of us are too connected to our devices and taking a break in the evening for non-screen related activities has far reaching benefits. Simple swaps here include reading a physical book instead of a tablet or playing games and socializing with family instead of watching television, for example. ⠀
