🤮Your green smoothies might not be that healthy! Green smoothies have been trending as a fantastic clean eating solution and extremely healthy. If they are full of vegetables, they must be healthy, right? 😱WRONG!! 😱 The truth is that you might be sabotaging your health! 👉If your smoothies contain any of these ingredients; spinach, kale, swiss chard, arugula, berries, or almonds, you are loading your body with oxalates instead of clean eating. 👉A diet rich in oxalates may be harmful to those who are susceptible to forming calcium-oxalate kidney stones. Don't get me wrong, you can still have smoothies, but you have to know how to make them appropriately. Here are 3 tips for minimizing oxalates in your smoothies: 1️ Avoid having the same smoothie every single day. 2️ Choose fruits and vegetables that are low in oxalates. 3️ Moderately drink your smoothies. Drinking green smoothies in excessive amounts may expose your body to very high doses of oxalates. Are you a green smoothies fan? P.S.

Zinc is a very important mineral! In one of my other posts, I talked about Copper and Zinc and how their nutrient partnership is very important. Zinc is critical for many functions in the body such as: ✳️Synthesis of enzymes and proteins ✳️Required for insulin production and secretion to support carbohydrate metabolism ✳️Acts as an antioxidant to support vision ✳️Maintains the flexibility of the arterial walls to maintain normal blood pressure ✳️Involved in acid-base balance, as an alkalizing mineral ✳️Zinc is required to produce all digestive enzymes, including stomach acid ✳️Zinc is needed for taste and smell! ✳️Zinc is involved in inflammatory processes in the body, acts as an anti-inflammatory mineral ✳️Plays a role in detoxification and helps eliminate toxic metals from the body The HTMA is a wonderful way to check you mineral status such as zinc Check out my Root cause investigation 👇 Link in bio 👇 #interstitialcystitisawareness #interstitialcystitiswarrior #bladderpain #interstitialcystitis #oxalates #moldillness #painwarrior #chronicpain #endometriosisawareness #invisibleillness #naturalhealing #naturalhealthsolutions #preventativemedicine #naturalhealthtips #gettotherootcause #wholebodyhealing #chronicconditions #naturalhealthrevolution #lowoxalate #minerals #htma #healthandwellnessblogger #copperdiet #fungalinfection #fungalinfections #candidaovergrowth #chronickidneystones #yourhealth

🙌What is life behind the scenes as a DCN? 💪Well, aside from meeting with patients and doing lab reviews, (and of course IG posts and stories 😊), a lot of my time is spent on RESEARCH! 💪The essence of a CNS is that we are evidence based! And with that comes spending time doing research. 😳The video you see here is my 126 page Nutreval lab chart. 😳It consists of physiology and nutritional biochemical pathways, clinical pearls and nutritional strategies to help understand the clinical presentation of each client/patient. 👉As you can see, there is an incredible amount of work and science behind doing what I do. And you know what? ❤️I LOVE IT and would not have it any other way #interstitialcystitisawareness #interstitialcystitiswarrior #bladderpain #interstitialcystitis #moldillness #painwarrior #chronicpain #invisibleillness #naturalhealing #naturalhealthsolutions #preventativemedicine #naturalhealthtips #naturalhealthrevolution #yourhealth #immune #boostimmunesystem #strongimmunesystem #immunesystem #oxidativestress #functionalmedicine #personalizednutritionprogram #personalizednutritionplan #personalizednutritionrevolution #personalizednutrition #nutritionist #nutritiondoctor #certifiednutritionspecialist#americannutritionassociation

In the last post I talked about Copper deficiencies? Did you know that Copper balance is tightly regulated with Zinc? 😫They are antagonists! Chances are, if you have Copper imbalance, you may also be experiencing a zinc imbalance as well. Generally they are opposite twins….one goes up, the other goes down. Symptoms include: ❌White spots in fingernails ❌Menstrual problems ❌Erectile dysfunction ❌ADHD, ADD, dyslexia ❌Vision disorders ❌Nervous system disorders ❌Impaired immune system 🙌The best way is through the Root Cause investigation Fast track program, that consists of evaluations of your hair, blood and urine to identify the imbalances that may be promoting your symptoms.

❓As a bladder pain coach, I get a lot of questions. ❓Recently someone asked me, what is oxidative stress? Before going into the causes, its important to understand what they are. That is why I created my signature Root Cause Investigation.

😩 Did you know that your histamine issues could be genetically based? 👉 Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP’s) within certain enzymes within your body can have large health outcomes! Here is a quick summary of just some of the SNP’s related to histamine ✅MAO-Monoamine oxidase A Encodes mitochondrial enzymes which catalyze the oxidative deamination of amines. See histamine relationship below. ✅RFK-Riboflavin Kinase Mutation creates Riboflavin deficiency, which is needed to make FAD-the cofactor for MAO-A to degrade histamine. ✅ABP1- Amiloride binding protein (ABP1), also known as diamine oxidase (DAO) and amine oxidase copper domain-containing protein 1 (AOC1). Encodes for DAO involved in histamine degradation in the gut. Also clears histamine with the DAO enzyme. ✅HNMT-Histamine N-Methyltransferase Produces the enzyme that uses a methyl group to degrade histamine in the body ✅CYP1A2-Cytochrome P450 Family 1 Subfamily A Member 2 Involved in converting progesterone into cortisol which has mast cell stabilizing effect. ✅HRH1, HRH2, HRH3-histamine receptors Various functions such as smooth muscle contraction, gastric acid secretion, and plays a role in inflammation and allergy. If there are many SNPs, and low methyl groups, there is the potential for high histamine and leaky gut. Over time, this may contribute to autoimmune disorders. The test I like to use for investigating some of the epigenetic influences is the Tree of Life. Want to know your how your epigenetics are influencing your health? PM me for more information.

🛑 Hey everyone, we heard this often-we are a society of overfed, undernourished. 😬Vitamin A is a common deficiency. This can result from: ✳️inadequate diets ✳️excessive alcohol ✳️GI conditions with fat malabsorption ✳️low protein intake, energy ✳️ zinc status leading to inadequate retinol binding synthesis Consequences include: 😩Severe deficiency can lead to blindness in children. 😩 It can also lead to anorexia, growth retardation 😩Recurrent infections 😩Obstruction of hair follicles 😩Keratinization of skin cells 😩Microcytic anemia (small RBC size) 😱Classic sign of deficiency is that you don’t like to drive at night ✅Skin is the only proof you have of cell differentiation and proliferation- which is why deficiency often manifests in skin conditions. 🙌Clinical pearl- zinc and vit A are often seen in skin issues.

😩I am always tired! 😓I can’t move around without getting winded… 🤒My immune system sucks…..I feel sick all over! I am in chronic pain. 👉If you are constantly feeling sick all over, it could mean that you are suffering from mitochondrial dysfunction. 👉Your mitochondria are very important structures in your cells that produce energy your entire body relies on. What are some of the symptoms? ✳️Low blood sugar ✳️Hypothyroidism ✳️Visual loss ✳️Hearing loss ✳️Tinnitus ✳️Cardiac arrythmia ✳️Mood disturbances ✳️Migraines ✳️Brain fog ✳️Memory loss ✳️Loss of balance and coordination ✳️Immune dysfunction ✳️Exercise intolerance ✳️Muscle weakness ✳️Fatigue ✳️GERD ✳️Constipation/diarrhea 🙌Good news!

⭕️Did you know that the essential vitamins and minerals rely on one another to be utilized and to function properly? 💪Many nutrients work together as partners (synergistically), so a deficiency in one might appear as or exacerbate a deficiency in another. 😩Other nutrients work against each other (antagonists) In this case you have to be careful when supplementing with one so it does not negatively impact the absorption, uptake, or metabolism of the other. 🙌For many body processes to function optimally, you must have the right balance of your nutrients. Play the video to learn about nutrient partners of magnesium! PS- My customized Vykon mineral formula is designed to optimize the synergistic and avoid antagonistic interactions. Must be paired with a hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA).

❓As a bladder pain coach, I get a lot of questions. ❓Recently someone asked me, what are the causes of free radicals. Before going into the causes, its important to understand what they are. 👉Free radicals are unstable atoms that take electrons from other atoms to become stable. When this pattern continues repetitively, the process is oxidative stress. 👉Oxidative stress can damage the body’s cells and lead to diseases and even aging. Oxidative stress is linked to: ❌dementia ❌cardiovascular disease ❌autoimmune disease ❌aging (wrinkles and gray hair) ❌diabetes ❌cancer Some of the common causes of free radicals include: 😱UV radiation 😱Your metabolism 😱Xenobiotics 😱Inflammation 😱Certain meds 😱Diet 😱Stress 😱Smoking 😱Alcohol Are you doing the right labs to analyze if you are dealing with oxidative stress? Even a few markers on blood chemistry like Uric acid, bilirubin and GGT can provide useful insight. 🤦‍♀️It surprises me that doctors neglect to run these very simple blood chemistry markers that your insurance would actually pay for!

🤜It is well known that the health of your gut dictates the health of you ! ✅Plant based foods provide the necessary raw materials to support a healthy microbiome. ✅The non-digestible fibers that are prebiotics for the good bacteria in your gut support gut health. ❌However these tend to be high in oxalate which can be a dilemma when you have bladder pain. 🙌Introducing the microbiome mashup !! Just a few tsp a day does wonders for the microbiome…with minimal oxalates ! 😆This one in this video consists of kale, lemon grass , watermelon radish , guava , raddichio, turnip , asparagus , fennel , daikon , cabbage , radishes , etc #bladderpain #interstitialcystitisawareness #oxalates #autoimmunediseasewarrior #painfulbladdersyndrome #interstitialcystitis #painwarrior #naturalhealthsolutions #inflammatoryboweldisease #guthealthmatters #chronicconditions #mindhealing #autoimmunediseaseawareness #gettotherootcause #naturalhealthtips #preventative #naturalhealing #preventativemedicine #feedyourmicrobiome #microbiomediet #healthymicrobiome #microbiomes #microbiomemedicine #microbiome #immunesupport #microbiomehealth #microbiomediversity #gutbrainhealth #goodguthealth #guthealthiseverything

😩 If you had B6 deficiency, how would you know? 👉TRUTH B6 deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies I see in clinical practice. ✅B6 can affect the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids and conversion of Omega 3’s such as DHA 👉Therefore, deficiency can manifest in many symptoms, particularly things such as dermatitis, cheilosis, glossitis, reddened tongue. ✅ Many of the endogenous oxalate issues can be attributed to vitamin B6 deficiency. Other symptoms include: ✅Decreased hemoglobin synthesis (microcytic anemia) ✅Kidney stones ✅Insomnia ✅Mood disturbances such as depression or irritability ✅Anemia ✅Blood sugar dysregulation ✅Histamine issues ✅Peripheral neuropathy Also, did you know that moderate deficiencies in molybdenum can also contribute to B6 deficiency in some individuals? And vitamin B6 is important for utilizing selenium efficiently as well Men should get 3 mg B6 per 100 grams of protein in their diet, and women should get 3.5 mg B6 per 100 grams of protein.

This is Dr. Bryan Walsh, whom I recently completed training with. 👉Did you know that many of your enzymes require micronutrients to function ? ❓Why does it matter? ✳️Enzymes are proteins or other molecules that catalyze reactions, i.e., make them go faster, without themselves being permanently transformed. ✳️The enzymes in your body help to perform very important tasks. ✳️These include building muscle, destroying toxins, and breaking down food particles during digestion. ✳️Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems ✳️Many vitamins (e.g., the B vitamins) assist enzymes (act as coenzymes) in activities ranging from vision to growth ability. 👉Some of your basic blood chemistry markers – such as AST and ALT require vitamin B6! 🙌 I am thankful to have participated in the Blood Chemistry Training Level III with Dr. Bryan Walsh over the Christmas break (incase you were wondering why I was so quiet….I was intensely studying away). 🙌 Not only has it confirmed my passion in nutritional biochemistry, validated what I already knew, but also enlightened me and broadened my knowledge This will improve clinical outcomes even more for IC Healer clients/patients.

Are you a victim of confirmation bias? ❓Could your confirmation bias be hurting your healing? ✳️I will have to be honest, IC patients are some of the most difficult to work with sometimes. I think part of the problem is that they have been confronted with so much information, they develop the infamous confirmation bias. ✳️Our beliefs are often based on paying attention to the information that upholds them—while at the same time tending to ignore the information that challenges them. ❓What is confirmation bias? 👉A confirmation bias is a type of cognitive bias that involves favoring information that confirms your previously existing beliefs or biases. 👉Confirmation biases impact how we gather information, but they also influence how we interpret and recall information 👉We often see this in politics, especially lately in debates that involve our health decisions 😩Most people seek out information sources that are aligned with their position. 😩The problem with that is, it causes you to miss opportunities that may have been beneficial for your healing! 💪 The good news is, you can overcome this by gaining knowledge you did not have before. All of my patients have been able to gain new information they did not have, they were able to make changes to help them reverse their condition. 🙌 Ultimately this is what we all want, right? Are you victim of confirmation bias?

❓As a bladder pain coach, I get a TON of questions. ❓Today the question is: “Dr. Mandy, what does remission mean?”❓ 👉 I get this question often, because there seems to be confusion about remissions vs. cure. First, let’s separate fact from fiction. ❌FICTION: Other people have cured IC. I find this very misleading. Those people who are claiming this do not understand the pathophysiology of autoimmune conditions. ✅FACT: IC is an autoimmune/autoinflammatory process. Autoimmune diseases, by nature, cannot be cured. This is due to memory B cells and autoreactive memory antibodies. By nature, autoimmune diseases are not curable. ❌FICTION: Once my IC is in remission, I can go back to doing what I did before. ✅FACT: Although you may be able to reintroduce some foods back into your diet, the truth it, what triggered your IC the first time is likely to trigger it again. In fact, sometimes, the trigger the second time can be more severe and often symptoms come back with a vengeance. 🙌The good news is, you can put IC to remission and you can live a symptom free life. 😘This is exactly what I do with IC Healer. When you investigate your root cause, you can identify what may be triggering your immune system to misbehave. 💪Through biochemical nutritional balancing and strategies aimed to optimize your immune system, you can bring your body back to homeostasis, which eventually means= no more symptoms!💪 👉DM me if you want to learn more about how I can help you.
