Excited for this podcast drop today. Loved speakin

Excited for this podcast drop today. Loved speaking with my friend and colleague @drkinney about what goes into optimal microbiome health. ⁠
⁠
Some of what we touched on:⁠
🍃 What is the microbiome?⁠
🍃 How does it affect digestion?⁠
🍃 How does it affect your skin?⁠
🍃 What does the microbiome have to do with hormonal health?⁠
🍃 What are the top factors that negatively affect the microbiome?⁠
🍃 What are the best things you can do to improve it?⁠
🍃 What do probiotics have to do with it?⁠
🍃 Does exercise help?⁠
🍃 What is this gut/brain thing all about?⁠
⁠
This one is good. Find The Dr. Kinney Show wherever you get your podcasts! Or click the link in my bio ☝️ for the direct link to this podcast.

Got a few pics taken that I wanted to share with you guys, as I sign off from here for a bit in order to drop down into being totally present for this birth and the new human entering the world.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It's hard to overstate the magic and weirdness and wonder of pregnancy. It's been a humbling time, a gigantic lesson in surrendering completely to a process. As with all experiences nowadays, they go so quickly, blurring by. I'm grateful to have these images to remind me of these past 9 months in all their mystery and fascination.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Deep, deep thanks to all of my amazing patients on here and beloved friends and community -- your support over these last months is everything. See you on the other side. ❤⁠⁠

Have you done a DUTCH test yet? If not and you suf

Have you done a DUTCH test yet? If not and you suffer from one of the following issues, this test is invaluable.⁠
⁠
- Adrenal fatigue⁠
- Fertility problems⁠
- PCOS⁠
- If you suspect estrogen dominance ⁠
- Insomnia related to your period⁠
- Menopause and perimenopause⁠
⁠
We run a lot of them in my practice and the insight we get is game-changing. One of the things I really love about this test is that it shows us how we METABOLIZE hormones, not just hormone levels themselves. How bodies interact with and utilize ALL the hormones is super relevant and can be the key in sorting out a hormone imbalance at the root cause level. And, yes, this test is good for men too.

Did you know that the development of the intestina

Did you know that the development of the intestinal microbiome begins at birth? This happens with an exchange of microbes from the mother to their child during childbirth. ⁠
⁠
But having a C-section or antibiotics given at or prior to birth can alter your newborn’s microbiome. Breast milk promotes the maturation of the infant’s gut microbiome, although, of course, breastfeeding isn’t available to all moms for various reasons. ⁠
⁠
These are all factors that can lead to dysbiosis which can later cause SIBO. There are other pre-existing factors that can cause SIBO in kids as well: constipation, reflux drugs, hypothyroidism, and lowered immunity. ⁠
⁠
Kids with SIBO will complain of tummyache; their stools will be irregular and you might notice a very distended belly. They might not be able to tolerate certain foods like dairy and gluten.⁠
⁠
Testing your child for SIBO is the best starting place and in my practice, we use breath testing for kiddos over 5; for those under 5 we use stool testing, OAT testing, and other evaluations to give us a picture of what’s happening. ⁠
⁠
Many parents prefer not to use antibiotics and the good news is that herbal therapies for SIBO are super effective, as well as addressing the underlying cause, which naturopathic medicine excels at.⁠
⁠
If you think your child may have SIBO, our team of naturopathic doctors is happy to help. We love getting kids’ guts on the right track as early as possible.

My midwife gave me this little book of affirmation

My midwife gave me this little book of affirmations (called The Pocket Midwife by Susan Fekety) and each day I flip to a new page and prop the book on my desk while I work and talk to patients.⁠
⁠
I'm about 10 days from my due date and as it grows closer, I find myself meditating on these little sentences more and more.⁠
⁠
I have a totally different birth plan this time around--will share more about it when we're all on the other side. But, for now, I'm dropping into the place of deep trust that my body knows what to do, and has been doing it all along.⁠
⁠
This goes for you too: your body knows. Trust what's true for you. It doesn't have to look like anyone else, and it shouldn't. I'm definitely embracing that as I head into this big unknown. ❣️
