This is not an ad. This Bitters & Soda drink (@hel This is not an ad. This Bitters & Soda drink (@hellacocktailco) I just discovered is the closest thing to a cocktail and I feel like I need to share it with my fellow mocktail lovers. If you’re into Aperol and Campari, you have to try their ‘Dry’ flavor! I committed to a dry January this year as a little self experiment. If you know me, you know I rarely indulge in more than 1.5 drinks. But as a creature of habit, I do enjoy my nightly glass of wine. The sad truth is that alcohol does interfere with our sleep - yes, even just one glass. I’ll be tracking my sleep during the month to see if I’m able to increase my deep sleep, which averages about 45-60 mins per night. My goal is 75 mins. Deep sleep is so important for not only feeling refreshed but also preventing cognitive decline and dementia. Now if I could just get in bed before 11pm 🤔... #dryjanuary #mocktail #deepsleep #functionalnutrition #functionalmedicine
This is self care. 21 hours since we dropped the k This is self care. 21 hours since we dropped the kids at my parents’. Worked out (@daileymethod online), gave myself a pedi and facial, depilled my fav sweaters, finished painting basement doors while listening to audiobook, enjoyed some takeout from @commongrillchelsea (their seafood chowder is my happy place), read some adult fiction, and shopped online (for myself!). About to enjoy this fully balanced breakfast and some HOT tea before tackling some CEUs. Thank God for grandparents 🙌. #grateful #selfcare #healthybreakfast #restanddigest #functionalnutrition #functionalmedicine
Breathe in. Breathe out. With Christmas just day Breathe in. Breathe out. With Christmas just days away, house renovations and underlying covid angst, I’m feeling overwhelmed. It probably didn’t help that we spontaneously started the day making Christmas cookies. My personality makes me want to push through all the to-do’s, but it always catches up to me, usually in the form of a short temper, shaky hands, shallow breathing, and a frustrated child. Today, I stopped and returned to my 15 minute meditation practice (check out Ziva meditation!) and I already feel so much more grounded. I plan to hold onto this self care ritual for as long as I can. Let’s all remind each other to take plenty of time outs this holiday season. #grounded #breatheinbreatheout #functionalnutrition #selfcare @zivameditation #meditationpractice

One of the things I miss most about California is One of the things I miss most about California is how easy it was to find fresh, delicious, inexpensive produce. I can’t tell you how many containers of slimy wilted greens I’ve found in the grocery store! Eating greens everyday (and ideally with every meal) is one of my most sacred health habits. They brighten my skin, smooth out my digestion, and help me feel more balanced in my energy and mood. So when I discovered a vendor selling fresh pea shoots at the Kerrytown Farmers Market in downtown Ann Arbor, I think I got a little too excited 😆. • • • #eatyourgreens #kerrytownfarmersmarket #functionalnutrition #functionalmedicine #wahlsprotocol #wahlswarrior #antiiflammatorydiet #annarborfoodie #michiganfoodie
Wow. Is it still 2020? •4 months ago we were r Wow. Is it still 2020? •4 months ago we were riding waves in SF. •3 months ago we fled the fire smoke to join family in MI. •1 month ago we bought a house in Ann Arbor. •Today, we’re sledding off our driveway. There’ve been many sleepless nights, moments of frustration and tears of joy. Leaving California without the chance to say goodbye was brutal. But my heart is bursting with happiness to be settled and closer to family.

Shout out to Michigan Medicine. Or maybe a high fi Shout out to Michigan Medicine. Or maybe a high five since I’m on voice rest again after procedure #4 😆 This sure is getting old, but I’m incredibly grateful to be in such good hands. Also, the live guitar player in pre-op was a nice touch 👌 #goblue #michiganmedicine
This pumpkin spice bread is one of my all time fav This pumpkin spice bread is one of my all time favorite things to bake. It’s made with almond flour, eggs, and very little honey, so it makes a great snack, breakfast side, or even dessert. I love to finish it off with a pat of salted butter and a cup of tea. It’s paleo, keto friendly, gluten free, dairy free (minus the pat of butter 😉) and very low sugar. Plus it contains a decent amount of protein so it won’t spike your blood sugar 🙌. Head to my blog by clicking the link in my bio for the super simple recipe. Word to the wise -- double the recipe!! #pumpkinspice #fallbaking #pumpkinbread #lowsugarbaking #glutenfree #dairyfree #paleobaking #ketobaking #ketobread #diabetesbaking #nutritionist #functionalnutrition #antiinflammatorydiet #wahlswarriors #wahlsprotocol

I can’t imagine why life is so stressful right now? 🤷‍♀️ It was nice to get back into the kitchen and luxuriate over slowly roasted butternut squash and meticulously plucked pomegranate arils. I ❤️ Fall salads. This one’s made with shaved kale, Brussels sprouts, pomegranate, butternut squash, pumpkin seeds and apple cider Dijon vinaigrette. #fallflavors #pomegranates #eattherainbow #functionalnutrition #wahlsprotocol #wahlswarrior #foodasmedicine #butternutsquash #antioxidantrich #antiinflammatorydiet #healthysalad #foodie #weightloss

This device is a complete game changer for weight This device is a complete game changer for weight loss. I’ve been experimenting with it for several weeks now, and it has quickly become a favorite tool in my nutrition toolbox. • From personal experience, I had a hard time losing my baby belly. Getting into ketosis has been the only way I could access those abdominal fat stores. Within a couple weeks I had already lost an inch without even trying. • This breath sensor was co-created by a UCSF cardiologist (#getkeyeats), so the program is centered on heart healthy choices. (Think: olive oil, avocado, almond butter, salmon, leafy greens, berries, etc) • All you do is blow into the meter and it tells you your ketone level. That means you can tailor your diet to how your body reacts. And, the game-ification of the app and seeing the numbers is really motivating. • Cannot say enough good things about this. You’ll be hearing me talk about ketosis and all its amazing health benefits a lot more. It’s not just weight loss, but also type 2 diabetes reversal, anti inflammatory, anti-aging, etc. • If you’re interested in buying a meter, click the link in my bio. For support creating meal plans and adopting this change, schedule an appointment with me 😊 • #ad @getkeyeats #ketogenicdiet #keto #weightloss #healthy #biohack #functionalmedicine #functionalnutrition #wahlsprotocol #wahlswarrior #alkalineketo #nutritionist #rd #lowcarb #lowcarbdiabetes #diabetesreversal #antiinflammatory #antiaging
Although you can’t tell from my masked facial ex Although you can’t tell from my masked facial expression (but maybe from the hair 😆), I’m fried. • Last week we made the difficult decision to fly to Michigan to stay with my family, after not seeing them for over a year. Distance learning during covid was challenging, but being stuck in a hot house with smoke filled air outside was too much. • We’re soaking up some family time and sending all the positive vibes to our friends enduring the challenges of fire season back in California. #californialove

Obsessed with this chia pudding! • I’m doing a Obsessed with this chia pudding! • I’m doing a self experiment with a ketogenic diet, since I often use them as a short-term tool with my patients for weight loss, blood sugar imbalances and hormonal issues. • I’m also geeking out over this new device that tells me whether or not I’m in ketosis. It’s incredibly insightful and I can see it being such an awesome tool for my patients. • Ketogenic diets are high fat, low carb and moderate protein, and they shift your metabolism so you burn fat rather than carbs for energy. There’s a lot of promising research and new ways to do it without the side effects (think less butter, cream and bacon, and more fiber-rich vegetables). It’s even possible to do keto as a vegan! • Anyway, this chia pudding is a great low carb, proteins and omega-3 rich meal (or big snack) whether or not you’re aiming to eat that way. • 2 Tbsp chia seeds 1/2 c almond milk (unsweetened) 1/2 c canned coconut milk 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 tsp ground flax seed 1/4 c berries 10 almonds Pinch of sea salt • Combine the chia and milks in a jar, shake and place in fridge at least 1 hour. (I do mine overnight). When ready to eat, add the rest of the toppings and enjoy. • • • #chia #chiapudding #lowcarb #lowcarbsnacks #ketosnacks #healthyketo #alkalineketo #weightloss #healthysnacks #functionalnutrition #nutritionist #functionalmedicine #energyfood #wahlswarrior #wahlsprotocol #veganketo
I’ve had zero time or energy to devote to cookin I’ve had zero time or energy to devote to cooking this week. Rearranging rooms, building a 3-way bunk (yes that’s an actual thing 😆), setting up desk space for 2 of the 3 to be in Zoom school... • Needless to say, I’m all about the easy meals this week. This pork is SO easy and leaves plenty for leftovers. • Dutch Oven Pork 3-4 lbs pork shoulder Sea salt & pepper Avocado oil • Preheat oven to 500F. Add a swirl of avocado oil to a Dutch oven pan. Place pork shoulder in pan and generously season with salt and pepper. Roast 15 mins with the lid off. • Then, carefully remove pan. Add 1 cup water, place the lid on the pan and return to oven. Lower heat to 300 and roast 3-4 hours. Water will cook off, but the pork will cook it it’s own fat. It should be tender and juicy. • I like to serve it over a salad with a side of cauliflower rice. • • • #functionalnutrition #nutritionist #wahlsprotocol #wahlswarrior #easydinner #lowcarb #lowcarbdinners #ketodinner #weightloss #vibranthealth
