Let’s get some things clear loves...

In this day in age we have full access to knowledge. The holistic medicine traditions are becoming more mainstream and I would debate to say “cool.” This is amazing as we can take our health in our own hands. With that said PLEASE use caution and use a qualified practitioner guiding you to find what works for your body and your constitution.

Social media is a vast place of information. BUT it can be so misleading. Someone might have a beautiful page and/or products with thousands of likes but have no real background in holistic medicine.

Remarkably, a lot of damage can be done. Let’s say this, I’ll have 2 patients walk into my office with the same symptom. How I would treat one is different than the other, this is because no body is the same even with the same presentation of symptoms.

I often get asked by friends, the person making my coffee, people online and friends of friends should I be taking this supplement/herb, it worked great for my uncle? The answer is maybe. I need to have them come in and we do a full assessment of their health. This way we get the whole picture, not just a small piece. But Katie come on, can I really do harm if I take some magnesium? Definitely not but are you taking the right kind? Do you have issues with diarrhea? How much is too much?There is a strategy to this.

Herbs is a whole another realm. I do encourage you to only take them under the care of a knowledgable practitioner. Herbs are very complex with over 300 formulas and you can even modify them from there! They can do wonders but need to take into account your constitution.

I say all of this with my love, happy healthy living y’all~ Katie
