Today is a road trip kind of day to #princeedwardc

Today is a road trip kind of day to #princeedwardcounty. I’m excited to be outside today enjoying the nice weather!
.
One question I ask my patients all the time is, “Do you get hangry?”
.
Often times the answer is yes!!! They tend to crave carbs and when they haven’t had something to eat in awhile they get irritable, angry, upset etc.
.
I can truly appreciate feeling hangry. If you know me very well, you will know that if we are going on a road trip I will need to bring snacks. This isn’t normal.
.
This is a sign of insulin resistance.
.
One of the best ways to combat the feeling of being hangry is to eat meals that are high fat high protein, reduce sugar consumption and never eat carbs alone. Always pair carbs with high fat and high protein.
.
Today on our road trip I have nuts and berries because that was the only real thing I could take with me. But - I had a breakfast with almond flour pancakes filled with lots of fat and protein. This will keep me full for awhile!
.
Do you ever get hangry? Drop a 💖 in the comments if you can relate.

#challengeaccepted Thanks @drfionand for tagging me in this. When I saw this I had no idea what this trend was. I honestly had to google it and read about it.

It made me think, how amazing is it that one small phrase can influence people all over the world.

I thought of how grateful I am for the internet to allow us to connect on such a large scale.

🥂 Here’s to women supporting women and lifting each other up and continuing to connect on a large scale.

These chicken fingers recipe using cassava four by @ottosnaturals. So these are completely #glutenfree They are so good they taste just like chicken fingers with white flour.

This is one of my favourite dinners. I love chicken and lots of roasted veggies and small potatoes.

The only thing this dish is missing is some kind of healthy fat. So sometimes I will eat an avocado on the side or end my meal with nuts and seeds!

This chicken finger recipe comes from

Magnesium is so incredibly important. It is involved in so many reactions in the body that we need to make sure we have enough magnesium. ⁠

I have a true fascination for castor oil. It's like in my Big Fat Greek Wedding where the father suggests Windex as the cure for all ailments...this is me and Castor oil. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
I find myself suggesting castor oil for so many reasons to patients, friends, family, etc. It is honestly my go to for almost everything. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Check out this article I wrote on the blog called, "30 Reasons Why you Need Castor oil in your Medicine Cabinet" ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
I think after this article, you're going to want to buy yourself a bottle of castor oil. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Always make sure it is in a dark glass container to prevent the oil from going rancid. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Do you love castor oil as much as I do? Drop a 💗 in the comments and tell me what you use it for...⁣⁠

This week I got blood drawn from LifeLabs and it was super easy. Booking an appointment online. I waited a few mins and had my blood drawn really quickly. I love seeing numbers. Lab work is extremely important for diagnosing and determining the underlying cause of #pcos. ⁠
.
I’ve had a few patients recently say they got diagnosed with #pcos with an ultrasound only. And really we need to be looking at both an ultrasound and lab work to be very certain, along with signs and symptoms.
. ⁠
Check out the video in my bio on interpreting lab work and my article on my blog on comprehensive testing for PCOS. ⁠Click on the link to my YouTube channel to find the video!
