So one of the biggest problems I've encountered over the last couple years is too many patients and not enough Alicia. While I do everything I can to get people in as quickly as I can sometimes its not enough. Treatment is only 1 part of your health. The other is what you can do at home.
Supplements are wonderful tools we use to make up for something lacking. We don't buy a car and expect to never change the oil or fuel filters. One of the key principles I follow in my practice is that Given the right tools, the body can take care of itself rather well. That means eating good quality food, drinking plenty of water (not coffee or tea, just water), and providing it with supplements when necessary. Powdered greens, protein, vitamins, and Biocell are my go-to's. I select ones that are easy to digest, bio-available (meaning your body recognizes the supplement on a molecular level), and tastes good. Promasil protein (from GNC) I like because it mixes so smooth with water and my current greens are VegeGreens (from Popeyes). My vitamins fluctuate as I need according to a Live Blood Cell Analysis (feel free to contact me about this further). My new favourite is Biocell, a mix of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and chondroitin with a dark fruits base. Wonderful for rebuilding connective tissues, cartilages, repairing damaged skin, and improving the health of your fascia.
Please feel free to ask if you have any questions about what is right for you. Sometimes this is something you can be proactive about while waiting to get in for an appointment.
