I connected with Eliisa over our shared love of true nutrition. Her story is one that illustrates the power of true nutrition to heal yo-yo dieting and a disordered relationship with food.

I was blown away by Eliisa's positivity, power and happiness, and I want you guys to know that this is how EVERYONE who's truly nourished looks, feels and sounds.

It's your birthright to feel this way, too!  In this episode, we teach you how using our favorite nutrient analysis tool, Cronometer.

In this chat, Eliisa tells a story that's familiar to so many of us: feeling frustrated with doing our best to stick to what we think is a "healthy" diet, while still not seeing results or feeling fatigued ad frustrated.

Then, Eliisa learned about true nutrition - focusing on hitting 100% of micros and macros as a way to fuel her body rather than deprive it. As a result, her health, happiness and performance soared. This is a story we hear OVER AND OVER again in our clinic, as well, when people finally learn the secrets of nutrition that they didn't know before.

We want you to have this story, too.

Please note, if you have an active eating disorder or are triggered by discussions about food and calories, this is not a chat for you. Instead, schedule a 15-minute Discovery Call with our practice to see how we recommend that you get started on your journey to food freedom and true health today.

A recent study conducted by the Williams Institute at UCLA estimated that roughly 10% of young people identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual, and nearly 1% identify as trans. These numbers are almost certainly underestimates. If you're a caring adult, you're take these numbers seriously and wondering how you can create a safe, inclusive and healthy environment for the young people in your life who may fall into these categories.

We talk a lot about sexual health, consent, gender, boundaries, self-love and body image in my clinic, and I'm honored that Coach Sommer Mahoney joined us today for a critical conversation about how to upskill so that we can support LGBTQIA+ youth as they navigate childhood, puberty, relationships, love, sex and more.

Coach Mahoney is uniquely equipped to educate us about this topic for a number of reasons. As a History and Global Studies teacher, Head Varsity Soccer Coach, Gay Straight Alliance advisor, dorm parent and Masters in Cultural Studies from Dartmouth (expected August 2022), Sommer has a unique persepective on our culture's approach to gender, sexuality and young people that few of us have. She's also dedicated to teaching other adults how to get it right when it comes to their kids. I am super grateful for the time she spent with us and know you'll love this talk.

Important timestamps so you can get right to the business of learning:

1:00 What does LGBTQIA+ mean?

3:30 What do LGBTQIA+ youth need from their parents?

5:30 How can parents help kids think critically about societal expectations regarding gender and sexuality?

11:30 How to we help kids navigate the TIA part of LGBTQIA+?

17:00 How likely are kids to talk with their parents about identifying as LGBTQIA+?

21:00 How do we navigate sleepovers as parents who want to create an inclusive and safe environment for LGBTQIA+ youth?

23:30 Safe sex for LGBTQIA+ youth .

30:00 How to support LGBTQIA+ youth in the day to day.

Fertility, Nutrition & Mental Health  

Could your depression or anxiety be giving you clues about the underlying conditions that are making it harder for you to conceive naturally?  

The answer is YES.  

Dr. Emily and Dr. Kate chat about the nutrients that matter in both mental and reproductive health, and how you can use both your diet and mindset to maximize your chances of happily growing your family.  

Some of what we covered today  

1. You may think that you're depressed because you're going through treatment for subfertility. But what if you're depressed BECAUSE of low vitamin D, thyroid, B vitamin or amino acid status and THAT is impacting your fertility?   This is way more common that you think! There are a number of studies that suggest that correcting these nutrient deficiencies can improve chances of conception by 10-65%!  

2. What if the anxiety you're feeling about getting pregnant is actually due to low inositol, low zinc, or low magnesium? All of these nutrient deficiencies impact fertility, particularly men with sperm fragmentation issues or women with PCOS / insulin resistance as part of their picture. Have your doctor screen you for these common conditions to give yourself the chance to heal both anxiety and subfertility.   

3. The Mediterranean Diet can improve fertilty by 40-60%! 

If you're wondering how to make this diet work for you, contact Dr. Emily or Dr. Kate and we'll explain more.   

4. Mindset is a huge part of managing stress when you're trying to grow a family. Uncertainty is a big part of that. So please hear Dr. Emily and Dr. Kate loud and clear: YOU WILL GROW YOUR FAMILY IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT. It may or may not be through natural conception, but the great news is that that is not the only way to grow your family. Chats about caregiving, fostering, adoption, volunteering and mentoring should be more accepted parts of every day culture. Dr. Emily and Dr. Kate are part of normalizing these conversations in medicine with *all* adults regardless of fertility status. Dr. Kate suggests you start following great influencers like Foster the Family and organizations like AdoptUSKids and Pacific Northwest Adoption Exchange if you want to learn more.

About the Speaker: Dr. Kate Henry uses nutrition, lifestyle modifications and preventative medicine to help people live their most vibrant, healthy lives. Her medical training allows her to expertly identify and successfully treat the hidden, underlying causes of chronic health issues including autoimmune disease, metabolic disturbances (fatigue and weight gain), hormone imbalances, gastrointestinal disorders and more. She uses advanced, comprehensive laboratory work to find the true root cause of ill health; her pledge is to always do the medical detective work that allows her to find and fix the root cause of illness rather than medicating symptoms. She uses the safest, most natural methods (botanical and herbal medicine, nutrition, counseling and physical medicine) first, so you can be confident in getting the best care without side effects.   Most importantly, Dr. Kate believes in you and your story. Her clinic is designed around connection; every new client visit is 90 minutes to allow the time to really get to know each other and for you to be truly listened to. She is also committed to her clinic being a safe space for people of all ages, races, gender identities and sexual orientations. She is a trauma-informed clinician who regularly pursues continuing education that allows her to care for people on a wide array of spectrums — whether that be of neurodevelopment, identity, ability, etc.
