I hope everyone is staying safe and abiding by the CDC recommendations. I find this is not as simple as it sounds as we are wired for human interaction including touch. A 20 second hug increases oxytocin (happiness) and decreases the stress hormone, norepinephrine. Social distancing may not apply within a low risk household. Hug those around you everyday (if safe). For those of you living alone consider going for walks with neighbors (6 feet apart) and connecting through ...zoom or facetime with loved ones. Keys to wellness during these times 1. Gratitude for what we have 2. Cook (and eat) healthy food 3. Move your body several times per day 4. Get outside! Parks are open 5 . Use this opportunity to develop good sleep habits 6. Be gentle and non judgemental with yourself (netflix is there for a reason) Finally, I want to let everyone know I am seeing patients including new patients via a HIPPA compliant teleconference system.

Many of you have asked for water filter system recommendations. I am not an expert on these systems but I know they are absolutely necessary given the ubiquitous contamination of our water supply. Dr Mark Hyman just posted a coupon code for Aqua Tru System (4 stage reverse osmosis). CODE: Drhyman.com/filter to purchase $299. The system is normally $450 I have no affiliation with Aqua Tru or Dr. Hyman. My family has used Aqua Tru for the past two years and difference in water quality is obvious. The machine isn't perfect but it is the best countertop option I have found.

For those who don't know me. I would like to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Kelly Herron and I have been a practicing #Obstetrician and #Gynecologist since completing my residency at the University of Rochester, Strong Memorial Hospital in 2000. In 2018, I completed a two-year fellowship in Integrative Medicine, under the direction of Andrew Weil, M.D. at the University of Arizona. My Functional Medicine training is through the The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). I..., like many Functional Medicine providers, have undergone my own health challenges and found wellness through less traditional methods. My desire to bring both my personal experience and professional expertise to other women sparked my pursuit of Integrative and Functional #Medicine. My #philosophy is simple; I view myself as a highly skilled medical advocate who views women as active participants in their own #healthcare.

Home from the Omega Institute after a week long retreat with Eckhart Tolle ("The Power of Now" and A New Earth")! Great reminder to keep ourselves in the present moment even if that means simply focusing on our breath.

What is Functional Medicine? The goal of functional medicine is to identify the root cause of symptoms and correct the underlying issue rather than prescribing a medicine to treat the symptom. An alteration in one system may present in a seemingly unrelated medical condition. Read more....... https://hygeialifemedicine.com/
