So many people think they can't have PTSD because their trauma wasn't "bad enough". But PTSD has nothing to do with the severity of your trauma. Instead, PTSD concerns whether you can recover or not after something hard happens.... In reality, doctors think of PTSD as ptsD. The disorder part of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is what we consider when we're thinking about a diagnosis. We determine Is the client having symptoms like the ones listed here? (Full link in blog post) https://www.nimh.nih.gov//post-traumatic-stres/index.shtml Are these symptoms interrupting the client's life? NOTHING in the PTSD criteria asks "Was the trauma severe enough for me as the clinician to take seriously?" "Do other people have it worse than this client?" "Is what happened to them as bad as going to war?" You don't see those questions because they have nothing to do with a PTSD diagnosis. Instead, you see criteria like "To be diagnosed with PTSD, an adult must have all of the following for at least 1 month: At least one re-experiencing symptom At least one avoidance symptom At least two arousal and reactivity symptoms At least two cognition and mood symptoms So please, stop focusing on the T (Trauma) part of PTSD and wondering - "was my trauma big enough to warrant treatment?" It's just not a clinical or accurate way to think of this disorder. Instead, focus on your symptoms and the degree to which they're in the way of you moving on from the stress and living the life of your dreams. Your symptoms - not your story - determine if you need treatment. If you're starting to think you need help, I'm here for you. PTSD can have health consequences that make moving on from traumatic stress difficult. Being in fight-or-flight, for example, impairs your ability to digest foods, absorb nutrients, get adequate sleep, and recover from injury and stress. Often, we can help your body heal your brain and your spirit by giving it the right forms of nourishment it needs to truly heal.

It's not magic, it's biochemistry. Sometimes they feel similar . Actually, every day in the clinic we see good medicine ( good biochemistry) do miraculous things to change people's lives. Fat loss is a natural side effect of good whole-person health.... It happens effortlessly when you treat the underlying root cause that's been holding people back from reaching their ideal body weight. If you don't believe that, it's because you've never experienced it. And probably because you've been brainwashed by society that makes it feel like if we just buy the newest pill or try the newest diet will finally achieve the body of our dreams. Pretty much every day I hear one of my clients say, "I'm full and I'm eating foods that I love and yet I've already lost 5lbs this week!' It makes my day because it only took a few months of being in practice for me to get tired of seeing people struggling, starving themselves, being undernourished and depressed and hating their bodies to decide that I wanted to do something about it. That "something about it" includes the food-as- medicine plans that I design for people the nutrient analysis I spend time explaining in our first visit, the specialized testing we order and that I explain and at times the targeted supplementation we use if we can get adequate nutrients through food. It works. It's worked for dozens of clients already. It can work for you. Schedule your free 15 minute Discovery Call today to tell me your story and learn how I can help. XO

92% of Americans do not consume enough vitamin D in their diets according to the CDC. An estimated 8-30% of Americans are currently Vitamin D deficient due to lack of supplementation and/or sunlight exposure. Your vitamin D supplement does not work to make your shelves, ... your bathroom cupboards, or your kitchen cabinets healthier just by sitting there It only works to make you healthier if and when you actually take it. It also works best if you take the right kind, the right dose, and if you consume it regularly. Testing vitamin D is easy, cheap, and can be done at home. From there, you can pick a custom plan, form and dose that works for you to stay replete in this nutrient. Some of my clients opt to eat more salmon and sardines. Others want liver or cod liver oil. Others prefer fish oil pills. Others use gummies. As long as you get enough, I'm happy and you will be, too. Vitamin D helps to make bones denser by regulating calcium and mineral metabolism, to reduce seasonal affective disorder (aka the winter blues), and to regulate the immune system. 1,000 to 2,000 IU is safe for most adults to take each day in the winter unless you have bone or kidney issues or you're already getting enough through diet. Ask your healthcare providers (including me) what dose is right for you before beginning your own program. Schedule your 15 minute free Discovery Call to pick my brain about your supplements and see how we can work together to create a plan that works for your whole health. #vitamind #vitaminddeficiency #vitamind3 #functionalmedicine #naturopathic #philadelphia @ Dr. Kate Henry

One of the things I love about the In Cold Storage podcast is that they talk about real issues with no holds barred. They've recorded over 100 episodes now and have featured guests who talk about recovery, vulnerability, mental health and more. They're bringing light to issues that so many people struggle to to talk about and, in the process, listeners are healing. It's good medicine. So, it was an honor for me to chat with Fuzz Seymour and JB on the show about nutrition and... the biochemistry of mental and physical health. There are so many ways we can improve the way we do medicine in the States. There are so many ways you can use nutrition to personally feel better, and so many reasons your struggles aren't your fault. I'm really grateful that we got to talk about the why behind my clinic and our shared passion for helping people heal from the things that hold them back. Follow the podcast on any of their platforms for more authentic, life-changing conversations.

Name another intervention that *reverses osteoporosis, osteopenia, hypertension, diabetes*, *improve libido, energy and metabolism* and does all of this without side effects.... I'll wait. But not for too long, because I really want to talk to you about weightlifting. I wasn't always a fan of lifting of powerlifting. I am now, though, because I have been really impressed over the years with weighlifting's ability to reverse disease when done right. Take Dr. Kresge's practic...e, for example. He's got 60+ year old women deadlifting over 150 pounds, reversing their osteoporosis, and finally healing their injuries. He's helping middle-aged men finally getting their chronic pain healed, their testosterone up, and their spark back. It's really nothing short of miraculous. So many awesome things happen when people start to use their bodies to move serious weight. I'm honored that doc gave my audience this awesome 35 minutes of free education about weightlifting, what it does for health, how to do it safely, and more. Personally, I'm grateful that he's helped me heal my own injuries, develop a safe powerlifting plan for me, and helped me get stronger than I ever thought possible. Check out the free video and schedule with either one of us (links in blog post) if you want more help getting started on your own road to awesomeness.
