Yantra Endocrinology + Wellness

#challengeaccepted Yes, I know most of us are posting B&W selfies but this photo has a special meaning for me. I had just opened up my own medical practice in early 2018 and the kids came to visit the office for the first time after it was completed. I don’t think it had even sunk in yet because I was working like a crazy person all those months prior. But it was the spontaneous pride on the faces of my children made me realize what I had accomplished. They are all my reason...s. Also, thanks to my ride or die #allfemale office mates @anakauselmd @shotsbypaucaam @johannac2394 And @beautydocnyc who knows all too well, the blood, sweat & tears that goes into running your own business. #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #strongertogether Thank you to all the strong women in my life whom I look up to & learn so much from. You mean so much to me @jennydez @tbslovesphotos @meemsalicious @amyliebs @acsundberg @jveksler2 @jennymcnev @kimayakama @aggarwalalpna @megcunningham See more

After all these months, scientists & medical researchers are beginning to unravel coronavirus’s secrets. Still so much to learn...

Sure, hand washing sounds pretty basic, we all know how. Or do we...? If you want to save lives, both yours & others, please review this chart for a quick reminder of the *correct* way to sanitize your hands. Don’t forget to keep your favorite hand lotion handy to moisturize after (and don’t feel shy about not sharing your hand cream with others!). Dry, chapped or broken skin after multiple washings may be counter productive. #covid_19 #covid #handwashing #prevention #healthypractices

Of the 100-plus countries affected by the #coronavirus Taiwan has the lowest incidence rate per capita (1 in every 500,000 people), despite being in such close proximity to China and so much travel between the two countries. So how did they do it? #covid19 ... lessons for #cdcgov https://www.google.com//www.nbcnews.c/news/amp/ncna1153826

I brought home some edible girl power today. Big sis guessed both identities correctly and took several moments to pick which one she really wanted to eat. Lil bro was far more decisive: I want the bigger one!!! Thank you to @lovewellness for these delicious cookies celebrating #internationalwomensday #bossladies #notoriousrbg #gretathunberg #womenswellness #sheforshe #girlpower

How do we separate true heroes from man made myths? Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! (Better late than never)

Between work & family responsibilities, I find endless excuses to put off exercising (breaking a sweat is NOT my fave!) That’s why its so helpful to have a crew that push you to get up and go. Last month, I ran a half marathon and yesterday I ran a 10K. Without being any sort of runner until just a few months ago. I could not have done it with my #hotmamas Thanks for kicking my butt off the couch! Love my ladies @meemsalicious @janicegyu @jennydez Peta Hartmann . . . #nyrrmini10k #findyourtribe #whorunstheworld #momsinmedicine #runnersofinstagram #momswhorun #getupandgo #nyrr #runner @ Central Park

I sampled this rich, delicious beef+chicken bone broth at the Integrative Healthcare Symposium #ihs2019 by the mother-daughter team from @brothmasters. Its all organic, pasture raised poultry & grass fed meat, slow simmered for 48 hours. I can’t wait for my shipment to arrive. My kids love chicken soup and this broth has a whopping 14 grams of protein & 30% of your daily calcium in an 8 oz serving. Why is bone broth such a super food? Why have traditional foods long relied ...on it as the perfect meal during winter months or times of illness? Bone broth is nutrient dense but low in calories Incredibly healing for your gut & easy to absorb It’s rich in proteins and essential amino acids Collagen and glycerin released from the bones is great for joints and connective tissues but also fantastic for healthy skin & strong hair and nails Adding a splash of apple cider vinegar helps soften the marrow bones & draw out more minerals, including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and potassium Vegan friends, do not despair! Substitute animal bones with kombu (Japanese kelp), mushroom, kale, seaweed and white miso paste to have a rich umami-redolent vegan broth #bonebroth #foodismedicine #leakygut #paleo #ketodiet #chickensoupforthesoul #autoimmunediet #autoimmunepaleo #broth4life #healyourgut #bonebrothheals #guthealth #hashimotos See more

Ordinarily, I’m not a fan of working on the weekend but I’m so excited to be here at the Integrative Healthcare Symposium #ihsny19 to learn what’s hot & happening in the world of integrative medicine. #integrativemedicine #wellness #continuingeducation #womeninmedicine
