What We Believe to Be True.

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” – C.S. Lewis

See What Clients Have To Say!
When we were working together you had a feeling I had PCOS but unfortunately, the test results were inconclusive.ย When I moved to the west coast I continued what we started;ย however, continued to hit dead ends.ย I came off birth control and it was pretty clear fairly quickly that I have PCOS with insulin resistance.ย You were right all along.ย I know our time working together was brief but you may be one of the greatest influences on my medical journey.ย Before working with you I was nervous to “overstep” with my doctors. You helped me realize that my health is mine to advocate for and nobody else’s.ย I genuinely believe I would still be struggling physically, emotionally, and mentally with undiagnosed PCOS if it wasn’t for you empowering me to advocate for myself.ย I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for me.ย K.W. Raleigh

๐๐๐๐Considering a fish oil supplement?
A 6-month trial ๐ including 200 people aged 60 and older found increased skeletal muscle mass, strength and physical performance compared to the placebo group.
๐คฉ And that`s not all.
The ๐ supplement group decreased serum triglycerides and increased HDL cholesterol ๐(think "H" for high - this is our protective cholesterol). The dose was 1340 EPA and 1007 of DHA for the supplement group, but individuals on blood thinning medications may need a lower amount!
A good place to start is Nordic Naturals Omega2000 or Kirkland brand by Costco is approved by Consumer Labs as a good quality supplement.
