After doing a presentation on a food profile for one of my Traditional Chinese Medicine classes, it pushed me to do my “What’s in my kitchen?” series. 🔪🍴🥄🥣 I’ve been holding out on doing this series for quite a while. I guess that project was just the motivation I needed! 🔪🍴🥄🥣 This series is going to be about foods/herbs that I eat/use and are possibly common in your homes. And if not, then motivates you to try them. Stay tuned!! . . . This is not intended to replace personalized medical advice. So even though a lot of the foods that I will be talking and posting about are generally safe, before adding in anything new into your diet, especially in excessive amounts, you should discuss this with your Naturopathic Dr. and/or informed PCP and I disclaim responsibility for any adverse effects that may result from the use or application of this information. . #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathicdoctor #holisticmedicine #HolisticDrTG #blackfemaledoctor #blacknaturopathicdoctor #melanateddoctor #minorityinmedicine #jamaicandoctor #locddoctor #caribbeandoctor https://www.instagram.com/p/CD6sFzKlJWl/?igshid=78xr57be87da

These moments are hard! The ones you see are the ones that were able to be recorded and just the tip of the iceberg. There's so many that haven't. Have the conversations. Feel the feelings. Read the books. Say the words. Do the tasks. Do what you feel like you intuitively need to do. That act along with all the others with the same intent will change the world. . “The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life.” Rabindranath Tagore . #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathicdoctor #holisticmedicine #holisticdoctor #HolisticDrTG #blackfemaledoctor #locddoctor #minorityinmedicine #caribbeandoctor #Jamaicandoctor #mentalstrength #mentalhealth #mentalrigidity https://www.instagram.com/p/CA2kI8SFDPr/?igshid=1n8ncp70zlh0r

Lets get back to water for a bit and allow me to share. Even though water is my preferred beverage I often struggle with keeping up with my appropriate amount of water like I shared in a previous post. . To find out if you need some more water in your life check out for these signs and symptoms 💧Dark urine 💧Feeling thirsty duh....but not everybody gets this sensation all the time 💧Headaches 💧Dry skin 💧Muscle cramps and muscle fatigue 💧Low blood pressure 💧Decreased sweat or clammy skin when exercising 💧More than usual cravings for sweet and sugary foods 💧Bad breath....is this motivation enough lol . Work your way to about 1/3 to 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water a day. . Oh and for every 8oz non-water or non-herbal tea beverage you drink add another 8 oz of water or herbal tea. Yes...herbal teas counts as hydration so to all of my tea drinkers yall are in luck! 🍵💧 . #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathicdoctor #holisticmedicine #holisticdoctor #HolisticDrTG #blackfemaledoctor #locddoctor #minorityinmedicine #caribbeandoctor #Jamaicandoctor #mentalstrength #mentalhealth #mentalrigidity https://www.instagram.com/p/CAatHusleKf/?igshid=hqyyp237h8n2

💧Wwaaatteerr.....I need wwaaatteerr💧 After these 4+ miles (walked some and ran some) this Doc needs some water! 💧 I usually start my day with some water and throughout my day my beverage of choice is water. 💧 On some days it's easy for me to get my adequate amount of water intake and sometimes I fall really short.... especially on days when I don't workout. 💧 I like to add lemon to my water as well (helps me drink more). 💧 A glass of water with some lemon in the morning can... 💧kick start your digestion, 💧increase your metabolism, 💧adds hydration for your skin (glow) . Throughout your day it can help.... 💧keep your lips from getting chapped aka dehydrated (let me tell you I didn't know how true this was until I spent 4 winters in Chicago lol!) 💧flush out toxins resulting in better immune system function 💧prevent and provide relief from headaches and cramps 💧 promote mental clarity and focus . 💧And so much more!💧 In the middle of your day if you start to feel tired and sluggish grab a glass of water!💧 #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathicdoctor #holisticmedicine #holisticdoctor #HolisticDrTG #blackfemaledoctor #locddoctor #minorityinmedicine #caribbeandoctor #Jamaicandoctor #mentalstrength #mentalhealth #mentalrigidity https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVXomeFsYm/?igshid=1fppz7ynkmw0n
