  2. motherhood has taught me the art of being unavailable. i have embraced a life that is not ruled by the small buzz on the counter or the quiet pressure to be reachable at every hour. a daily rhythm where my attention is not constantly being handed over to the outside world simply because someone can reach me. there is something deeply unnatural about being expected to carry endless open doors in your pocket all day, especially while trying to raise children inside the sacred ordinary of home. the more i have settled into motherhood, the more i have realized that so much of the frustration we feel in our days is not always coming from our children, our homes, or even the amount of work in front of us. often, it is the constant interruption that frays us. who wouldn’t get frazzled when trying to answer a message while a child is asking for your attention? who wouldn’t get completely overstimulated hearing the phone go off while breakfast needs tending, laundry is half-folded, a baby is nursing, and your own thoughts have not had one quiet place to land? when one small notification can pull your body out of the room before your feet have even moved. after a while, the outside world can begin to feel like it has a right to enter the inner life of your home whenever it wants to. i used to feel guilty for not responding right away. i carried this invisible pressure with me, as if being a good friend, a good daughter, a good business owner, or a good person meant being easy to access. but motherhood has changed that in me. i no longer believe it is my duty to be reachable at every moment. i no longer believe my phone gets to decide where my attention belongs. i no longer believe a message requires immediate access to my energy simply because it arrived quickly. the only people who truly need my constant attention in this season are my children. presence is one of the greatest commodities we possess. attention is one of our most sacred assets. every moment spent being pulled somewhere else is a moment i am not fully here. i am fully content now with my notifications off and my phone somewhere far from me. ❤️ // artwork: @lorepemberton @tijanadraws @robinelisedraws

  3. how many times do we say it…quietly to ourselves, or out loud to someone else- “i’m just a mother”. as if that word just could ever belong beside something so sacred or tending to life itself could be reduced to something small? there is nothing “just” about waking in the night to soothe a tiny body back into peace. nothing “just” about being the place a child returns to, again and again, for warmth, for milk, for comfort, for regulation, for home. if you spent a day caring for your baby, you did not do “nothing.” you did everything. ❤️ to them…you ARE everything. their anchor in a world they are still learning how to exist in. their safety when something feels unfamiliar. their warmth, their nourishment, their guide. their first understanding of what it feels like to be loved, held, and known. we’re taught to measure our days in productivity, in output, in visible results. but motherhood asks us to measure differently…in heartbeats steadied, in tears softened, in tiny hands reaching for ours because they trust we will be there. and while it may feel like these days are fleeting, like they will forget…they won’t. they may not remember the exact moments, but they will carry the imprint. in the way their nervous system settles in your presence. in the calm they feel when they are close to you. in the quiet, unspoken knowing that they are safe, that they are held, that they are home. every small thing matters. you were never *just* a mom. // photos not my own- found on pinterest! please DM me if you’d like photo credit <3

  1. This week, I got test results back for one of my patients, a young woman in her 20s who I met last summer. She hadn’t seen a doctor in years, but she felt fine and just wanted a regular checkup. I learned that she smoked cigarettes and had a family history of type 2 diabetes. . I went over our allotted appointment time (yup, a bad habit of mine 🙃) talking about lifestyle changes to help her get healthier & prevent diabetes, especially quitting smoking and moving towards a plant-based diet. . Her initial bloodwork showed a very elevated blood sugar (hemoglobin A1c near 9.0%) and I diagnosed her with type 2 diabetes. I explained that she would almost certainly be able to improve, and possibly even reverse, her type 2 diabetes by adopting a healthful plant-based diet and becoming more physically active. . I offered her the choice of lifestyle changes, medicines, or a combination of the two, depending on how much she thought she could change. She said she was motivated to eat differently and wanted to try that first. . Fast forward 8 months. She quit smoking. She started working out. And it took her some time, but she adopted a completely plant-based diet. This week her hemoglobin A1c came back below 7.0%, almost out of the type 2 diabetes range. (All this while eating sweet potatoes, fruits, oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa, and beans…plus of course lots of veggies.) . Moments like this are why I went to med school. It isn’t the most dramatic transformation story in terms of the numbers. But it’s dramatic in terms of the fact that many doctors and patients don’t even know that something like this is possible. . I am a primary care doctor seeing patients from all walks of life. Very few of them know before they meet me how passionate I am about nutrition. They just think they’re seeing a “regular” doctor. I love giving people a chance to change. To me, it’s not diet vs medications -- it’s a dialog and a relationship, and seeing what’s right for each individual person. But few people escape my office without a conversation about food, because it’s so fundamental to health. . On this #nationaldoctorsday, here’s to more of us making that connection.

  3. I had the chance to lead two sessions on plant-based diets at the recent American Diabetes Association clinical meeting! To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but wow, the rooms were packed & there were tons of great questions. I was also thrilled to see quite a few fellow plant-based practitioners in the audience! . My 1st session was on plant-based diets for preventing & treating type 2 diabetes. It was a challenge to squeeze this into 45 mins because there is so much supporting evidence! My 2nd session was a workshop for clinicians to help their patients adopt a plant-based diet. For a recap of the science, read on 👇 . PREVENTION: Large observational studies in health-conscious populations show that vegetarians & vegans have approximately half the rate of diabetes as omnivores, even with statistical adjustments for differences in excess weight & other risk factors. And when followed over time, plant eaters experience up to a 62% lower risk of developing diabetes. . TREATMENT: Plant-based diets are remarkably effective. Randomized controlled trials have shown that a plant-based diet is superior to conventional diabetes diets - not just in terms of lowering blood sugar, but also cholesterol & excess weight. Moreover, plant-based diets significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, the #1 cause of death for people with diabetes. They’ve also been shown to decrease rates of premature death in people with kidney disease, and to ameliorate painful diabetic neuropathy! . HOW DOES IT WORK? Plant-based diets address the root causes of type 2 diabetes: insulin resistance & dysfunction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. Both are related to the buildup of certain types of fats in our muscle, liver, & pancreas cells; this can happen when we carry excess weight, eat too many calories, eat a high-fat diet, and/or have chronic inflammation. Plant-based diets are rich in fiber, antioxidants, & micronutrients, and low or absent in saturated fat, animal protein, heme iron, advanced glycation endproducts, nitrosamines, & TMAO precursors - a potent combination that reduces fat buildup & helps restore insulin & beta-cell function. .
