“Most people are having a relationship with their thoughts and opinions, not with reality.” - Rev. Dr. Michael B. Beckwith from his talk this past Sunday at .
The relationship you have to your own thoughts and your own heart is the foundation of how you experience life as a whole. This is substantiated by neuroscience - we are always self-referencing by default. This self-reference sets the tone for how we perceive the world. Our brains are quite literally experiencing the world AS WE ARE, not AS IT IS.
Your relationship and thoughts about your ailments/disease/condition will make or break you. Do you see it as a curse or an opportunity? Do you complain or make changes? Are you a victim of your own mind about your situation, or a creator of your own reality? How do you speak to yourself about yourself?

I am amazed by how many times a patient has come and sat down in front of me and told me exactly what is wrong with them. It’s almost like they just needed to look someone in the eye and say it out loud and have it reflected back as truth, and be acknowledged, for them to change. Sometimes it’s that simple. Knowledge is not always in books people.
SPRING 🌼 lends us an opportunity to let go of any 💩 that doesn’t belong.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Spring is the season of the LIVER in Chinese Medicine. During this time it’s easier to cleanse and restore Liver function.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Liver itself is a master cleaner - it takes toxic compounds and makes them into molecules the body can excrete. In our modern world, our livers are on overdrive.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are pollutants in the air and toxins in our food, and everything you take by mouth including Tylenol, pharmaceuticals and supplements have to be processed by the Liver. (Not to mention emotional toxicity 🙅🏻♀️)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The energetic function of the Liver is to circulate Qi, which is our Life Force. 🌀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When disrupted from poor diet, poor sleep, poor lifestyle, or disease, Liver Qi becomes “stagnant” and results in the following:
▫️tense muscles
▫️high blood pressure
▫️quick to anger, frustration or rage
▫️waking at 1-3 am
▫️poor night vision
▫️headache
▫️PMS
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can take advantage of the gift of the season and start implementing some Liver Cleansing Basics:
🍋 Drink warm lemon water in the morning
⏱ Try intermittent fasting, or at least don’t eat 3 hours before bed
💤 Go to bed by 10 pm
🥬 Eat plenty of dark leafy greens
☀️ GO OUTSIDE and be around trees
🍟 Cut out heavy foods
💦 Restore electrolytes and drink plenty of water

I just did another deep dive research session into NAD+, and I have to say: the more I learn about it, the more impressed I am! Not only does it lengthen telomeres (and therefore longevity), it's one of the most powerful molecules for gut, skin and brain health - all my favorite organs (yes I have favorites). I want everyone to be able to experience the benefits of NAD+, but the cost is often super prohibitive. The going rate in Los Angeles for a *single* NAD+ IV is $1,500 (!!!). I'm setting it up in my clinic to be able to offer them at $699 for the next few months. DM me if you are interested, and we can talk about if it might be a good fit for you!
HOLISTIC PRACTITIONER WANTED
Integrative Pediatrics and Medicine Studio City is looking for a practitioner to join us and rent space in our NEW integrative center. Our Integrative practice is booming and we are growing. If you have a thriving practice and are looking to expand and have a second location in the Valley, DM me. We have weekdays and weekend space available.
We would most certainly love to invite any of you to come check out our space and we will give you a tour! So far we have: an Integrative Pediatrician, Naturopathic doctor, Ayurvedic doctor, Nutritionist and Meditation coach.
We are looking to connect to as many amazing practitioners as possible around LA to increase our network and have places to send our patients. It is always easier to refer to someone you have met. Please reach out to us.
It would be wonderful if we could get all our nutrients from our food, live sustainably with the land, and never be exposed to toxins. But the reality is we live in a world with RoundUp, so sometimes you have to inject yourself with highly concentrated vitamins and minerals to get by. Welcome to planet Earth in 2019.

Lately I can't be bothered by taking supplements. I'm going through a rebellious phase. More likely, my body just naturally wants a break.
💉
Every time you put a supplement in your mouth (or anything for that matter), your liver has to process it. For that reason, it’s important to take supplement breaks to give your liver a vacation.
💉
Enter IV therapy. An excellent source of delivery for these essential nutrients , IV's bypass the gut (because they go directly into the vein), providing concentrated nutrients, stellar absorption, and immediate effects. Plus, it’s over in a hour.
💉
My all-time favorite IVs are the classic Meyer’s cocktail for an energy boost, Phosphatidylcholine for brain health, and NAD+ for mitochondrial reset. (If I'm feeling particularly crummy I do all 3 back to back.)
💉
So while it's a lovely idea to do everything "naturally" we
have to be smart about the world we live in. My grandmother who lived to be 101, who worked on a farm and never owned a cell phone didn't need IV nutrients. But you walk outside and get a whiff of that bus driving by and your liver has to churn out some powerful antioxidants.
💉
IV's can be a powerful aid in these modern times - don't be afraid of them!

Happy Hormones! Here in Nashville supporting fellow ND at the Clinical Endocrinology symposium.
Talking about the intersection of s*x hormones and neurotransmitters, and so much more.
I am pleased to hear a few MDs mention the importance of and in a hormone-based practice. Conventional medicine is catching on to the fact that stress management and correcting faulty neuroception is 90% of practice.
Of course, Dr. Peter went so far as to say hormone replacement should be the LAST resort after addressing diet, functional breathing, exercise, and sleep. And of course he’s right!
