Play is an important part of overall health and wellness.

Research suggests that play may encourage flexibility and variability in behavior and adaptation to a changing environment. Some research (specifically studying bears) even suggests that play may contribute to living longer and healthier lives, along with directly contributing to the growth of certain brain regions.

Try adding more play into your life. Think about what you enjoyed as a kid and see if you can bring that joy back into your life.

Throw a ball for your dog.
Splash around in the pool.
Play hide-and-seek with your kids.
Go for an aimless walk in your favorite park.

What do you do to play?

These diet and lifestyle recommendations are great

These diet and lifestyle recommendations are great for those planning on becoming pregnant or those who are already pregnant or breastfeeding.

1. Whole-foods diet: eliminate inflammatory oils, sugar, and processed foods and focus on incorporating whole foods like meat, eggs, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds.
2. Carbs and fat are important for fertility and milk production for breastfeeding women. Unless you have a medical reason, avoid very-low-carb or low-fat diets.
3. Eat foods rich in fat-soluble vitamins: liver, grass-fed dairy, cod liver oil
4. Exercise appropriately: too little and too much exercise can affect fertility and pregnancy.
5. Reduce stress: identify stress-management techniques that work for you and practice those consistently

Other tips: get your sleep (7-9 hours), eat fatty fish and/or supplement omega-3s, eat plenty of calories, consider a prenatal vitamin

Our team of functional medicine pharmacists at PharmToTable can help those with fertility and postpartum issues. We offer free 15-consults to see if we’d be a good fit for you!

We often talk about the impact that diet has on the microbiome but there are many other factors that influence its development and diversity as well.

➖Age
➖Culture
➖Geographical location
➖Health status
➖Your mother’s microbiome (and her mother’s microbiome!)
➖Mode of delivery (C-section vs vaginal)

Were you aware of any of these factors?

New Table Talk podcast episode!

Our latest podcast episode is all about holistic approaches to mental health conditions.

We give some background on the standard approach to treatment using pharmaceuticals, discuss some of the different forms of psychological therapy, list root causes from a functional perspective, and detail using a whole-body approach to improve mental health conditions.

This episode ran longer than our typical 30-45 minutes because we had so much we wanted to talk about! Link in bio to listen.

We also have a recent blog post with even more info on this topic.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Great stride

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Great strides have been made in destigmatizing mental health in our society but there’s a need for more adequate and effective treatment options.

This is where functional and lifestyle medicine shine!

Understanding that the brain is intricately connected to other systems in the body (including the gut, endocrine and immune systems) and addressing lifestyle and environmental factors is key to improving mental and whole-body health.

Stay tuned for an upcoming blog post and podcast episode diving into the unique ways that functional medicine approaches mental health.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder that encompasses a variety of metabolic and hormone-related symptoms. It affects anywhere from 5-20% of reproductive-age women, depending on the source and diagnostic criteria being used, and is the most common cause of female infertility in the United States.

We have two recent blog posts detailing PCOS, including the environmental and lifestyle factors that heavily influence the development of the syndrome along with improving and even reversing PCOS symptoms using lifestyle medicine.
