Ya Heard?! Find your passion. Pursue it with abandon. Don’t let others de rail you.... You have to answer to you! ALL too often I hear people tell me they can’t change because of this or that or somebody else or their mom’s opinion or their husbands opinion or their current circumstances and all I can say is yes you can! however it does not mean that you have to please everyone else in your circle, family or life in order to do so. Be good, do good, respect yourself #functionalmedicine #mentalstrength #mindset #clarityispower #doyou #liveyourlife #pursueyourdeeams #doctorslife #docrooksrocks

Emergence Truth seekers and truth tellers...Keep it UP. If you have lost or silenced your voice... it’s ok, BUUUT it’s Time Silence and withholding is not playing AUTHENTICALLY. I have seen and felt recently many have quieted their opinions and their TRUTH to appease the yelling, screaming,kicking people on the other side, so to speak.... It is our duty and soul purpose to disrupt, awaken & speak truth. #riseup #speakyourtruth #patriots #freedom #healthtruths #doctorsforhealthfreedom #facts #functionalmedicine #docrooksrocks

Insulin 101 Hormones are key messengers in the body. Insulin is made in the pancreases and plays a big role in metabolism and energy creation. Do you know what Insulin does?... Insulin hormone is associated with DIABETES AS A DISEASE., I’m sure you know that. It is a hormone that acts like a TAXI CAB The SAD is loaded with sugar, processed foods, grains LOADED with sugar in different forms. It shuttles glucose around the bloodstream and drives it around and drops it off to the cells to deliver glucose to make ATP=energy. Too much insulin is a BIG PROBLEM b/c the body cells become desensitized to it. We call this INSULIN RESISTANCE Metabolic dysfunction ensues= INFLAMMATION This equals glucose stored as FAT It starts a freight train of other factors like contributing to gut dysbiosis, poor energy, mood disorders, toxicity, high body fat, high blood pressure and cancer!

Diseases are not CAUGHT by the human body. Instead, they are built thru the dysfunctional states within your body. You have the ability EVERYDAY to prevent its production and assist the creation of HEALTH... Don’t give that POWER away Knowing what to do.. that’s the hard part, it’s confusing & there’s lots of conflicting info out there. Functional healthcare is the WAY

Tired as A MOTHER Yes, being a mother is very tiresome and selfless. Having a child is the greatest blessing and teacher EVER. My pride in this child is OVERWHELMING. He makes me better. Period.... Homeschooling is not his thing. He’s a people person, not sure where he gets that (tee hee) As 3rd grade starts and I reflect on how amazing this kid is, all the obstacles and CONSTANT change he is /has overcome SUCCESSFULLY-I know I am doing GREAT WORK. I may have some professional /career goals that I haven’t hit, I may not be bikini ready, I may not have it all together BUT what I do have is a human being that I am raising that will reflect my morals, principles, hard work and love He may be my LEGACY.

Killing’ It... Saturday vibes.. I’ve been run down, feeling off and pushing thru. My body told me to stop. I resisted. Then my body stopped me. I’ve been resting and doing all the right stuff and it killed the germs, bugs, and cleared the way for reneeded function & energy. Today I’m on the return. REST does the body good ... PSA: It’s okay to rest when the body is screaming to.

If you’ve been wondering more details soon!

Seasonal Produce: An ancestral approach & perspective In our food supply today, vegetables are the best source of carbohydrates for the human body, but not all are needed. ... Typically they are high in water and fiber and low in carbohydrates count therefore most are low glycemic which means they do not affect your blood sugar greatly quickly which controls an insulin spike which is honestly a key to managing inflammation and weight. Some newer scientific research is suggesting that the human body does not really thrive with loads and loads and loads of variety of vegetables from all over the world all the time. Ancestrally people ate according to what was growing in their area during the season. Not all intestinal tracts can handle heavy vegetable load containing chemicals that plants have developed to survive the changing environments over time. Did you know that? Chemicals like lectins, phytates, sulforophane and oxalates... more on that later. If and when you are eating produce do your best to keep it ORGANIC, LOCAL & SEASONAL. Don’t forget to balance your diet with clean sourced animal protein for best results!

Dr. Rooks Loves THIS In my experience, the UNWARRANTED OPINIONS of others, especially family, can de rail your success and create self doubt. Keep your goals private, perform consistent action and CRUSH THEM... THEN... announce what you are celebrating when you get there Ready.... GO Regram@Wordporn See more

So I did a Thing The evolution of the perfect diet for me was actually a leap backwards to our HUMAN PRIMAL DIET. Thanks to other doctors leading the way with evidence based results and clear, concise justifications, I decided to give it a Go in March & I’m not looking back! @carnivoremd @meatrxofficial It’s actually really simple... There are variations- I have settled on a Keto carnivore diet.. more later there. Anthropological evidence supports this as our Natural human diet in which we THRIVED My BRAIN feels good awesome mood ENERGY is GREAT body FAT LOSS FEMALE HORMONES balanced DIGESTION is on point Autoimmune Skin reactions -GONE SKIN is amazing- Smooth & CLEAR EATING is SIMPLIFIED SATIATION w: food is AMAZING METABOLIC FLEXIBILITY- makes it easier to FAST & I.F. STRENGTH IS UP HEALTHIER relationship w/ food NO sugar or CARB CRAVINGS Vulnerable info: I personally struggled with an eating disorder in college & have had an UNHEALTHY relationship with food FOR A LONG TIME. I have tried many diets/eating styles and this works great for me to eat guilt free. I am open about my journey and my knowledge because I have forever been on the PATH OF DOCTOR HEAL THYSELF I recommend following the above docs and buy Carnivore Code Book and get informed...we have been duped as a acidity about our nutrition needs for many reasons but what we don’t know may be making us SICK, FAT & DEPRESSED... literally! #docRooksrocks #functionalhealthcare #rootcause #healthylifestylepriniples #integrativemedicine #healthoptimization #girlswholift #goaldigger #mindset #guthealth #healtheducationbasics #adrenalhealth #LifeRestorationprogram #beyourbest #liveyourbestlife #Glutenfree #GetHealth #grainfree #carnivirediet #carnivorewomen #carnivorelife #meatheals
