Dr. Robin Berzin Is Making Functional Medicine More Accessible with Parsley Health

Dr. Robin Berzin went to med school at Columbia University with the goal of getting a solid, conventional medicine education that she could use to help patients in a non-conventional way. The combo of studying public health in college and seeing her dad’s experience as a primary care doctor showed her that medicine alone wasn’t the solution— that things like yoga, nutrition, meditation, and lifestyle changes needed to be the first line of defense in preventing disease.

I used to live for the night (I love to dance and sing and socialize) but now I am finding myself SO excited to get in bed early and read my book, get up early, be productive with a clear head and move my body! Don't get me wrong, I still love a delicious glass of🍷 on occasion with my husband or friends but so much less these days. I just feels so good to feel good, I don't want to mess with it. Who else has felt this shift?! #getwellbe [📷 @maxlugavere]⠀⁠

If one good thing comes out of the global pandemic

If one good thing comes out of the global pandemic, I hope it's a wake-up call to all Americans who are living indefinitely on multiple medications to "manage" avoidable lifestyle diseases or having a BMI of above 25 makes you a sitting duck for any sort of contagious virus that comes along. ⁠
⁠
The @cdc has now put a warning on the top of the BMI calculator on their website that obesity or a BMI above 30 is a risk for severe illnesses like Covid-19. I just wish it hadn't taken the world falling apart and hundreds of thousands of Americans dying for people to see that the American diet and lifestyle kills.⁠
⁠
Release yourself from the chains of the American diet and lifestyle, take back control of your health, and make sure you aren't the next victim of this deadly pandemic or the next virus that comes along. ⁠
⁠
And remember, anything that seems too good to be true, is. If you have multiple health issues and can pop pills to make the symptoms go away or lessen, don't be fooled, the problems are still there and likely getting worse. Plus, you'll also get to feel and look better when you reverse them completely. Who's in?! 💪 #getwellbe

Usually, people go to see a doctor because they’

Usually, people go to see a doctor because they’re experiencing a symptom that they want to treat. But according to Tammy Kohlschmidt, a certified clinical thermographer, that’s entirely the wrong approach.⁠
⁠
As she explained to WellBe, thermography offers a way to catch dysfunction before it becomes symptomatic, helping people to prevent rather than treat disease — which is key to maintaining your health.⁠
⁠
Thermography is a screening method that uses camera images to measure your body temperature and blood flow, looking for patterns and variations that can screen for dysfunction and precursors to disease. These variations are very telling, because, as Kohlschmidt says, “your temperature does not lie.”⁠

If you're finally back in the salon after quaranti

If you're finally back in the salon after quarantine, then you're not alone! Most of us love the freedom of playing around with hair color, but we also know that chemicals in hair dye — and other hair salon products — can cause some serious health issues, making non-toxic hair dye something we should all prioritize.⁠
⁠
Think about it: it takes a lot to change the color of someone’s hair, especially if they’re making a drastic change (like from dark brown or black to blonde). So for decades, salons and major companies have turned to harsh chemicals to do the heavy lifting.⁠
⁠
While the specific formulations vary from product to product, there are a number of particularly harmful chemicals to be aware of when you’re coloring your hair (or even just being in a salon where other people color their hair, or use hairspray or other hair treatments!) ⁠
⁠
Thankfully, in our WellBe Guide to Organic Hair Salons, we look at the risks you face at the salon, organic salon options in major cities, and steps you can take to protect yourself no matter what salon you frequent! Click the link in our bio and this pic to read it. Who has switched to a non-toxic hair salon? 🙋‍♀️ #getwellbe

On this day 19 years ago, hate took thousands of i

On this day 19 years ago, hate took thousands of innocent lives, destroyed a beautiful city, planes, buildings, the lives of the survivors and the loved ones left behind.⁠
⁠
Today I look at America and the world and I see hate: hate from both my friends, family and strangers about people who don't share their political views, hate about masks and vaccines, hate from our leaders and hopeful-leaders hoping to rile us up against each other to use us as pawns in their sick game of power-jockeying.⁠ Remember that hate is still poison, even if you think it's justified.⁠
⁠
After 9/11, there was anger, and there was hate, and there was grief, but then the big tidal wave of love came and conquered everything, and it united us, and it drove people to help strangers, and pick up the pieces, and build an even greater New York City. ⁠
⁠
Over the next two months... politicians, pundits and our often one-sided social media feeds will try to get us to hate more, to see anyone who doesn't think exactly the way we do as the enemy, they will try to make us not understand our common humanity, to not ask "why" does that person feel that way and try to put ourselves in their shoes.⁠
⁠
I say do the hard thing, not the easy thing. I say find a way to understand the position of people who may share a different view than yours, to love above all else, to find our common humanity, to not let political machines use us for their benefit. Choose the harder path if not for others then for yourself, for hate poisons the hater more than the hated. Who chooses love? ❤️ #confucius #getwellbe
