Here’s to experiencing the very best version of yourself,

There is some promising new information that was just presented at the Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease conference. Initial results from a clinical trial suggest that taking a daily multivitamin will slow cognitive decline by up to 60%.
I recommend optimizing results by testing for your own personal deficiencies (like with the ION test by Genova Diagnostics that I have been using for over a decade with patients) and taking the vitamins, minerals and micronutrients that your own body actually needs, at the doses and forms that will effectively treat your deficiencies.
To your health,

LDN stands for Low Dose Naltrexone that is used off label for a variety of inflammatory conditions. There is a small but growing group of doctors who report seeing good results using this therapy for symptoms that linger once a patient has had Covid -19 (“Post Covid Syndrome”).
Something to consider…I and many of my trusted colleagues have seen great results using LDN in the field.

New research published in the journal Gut is pointing to the role the gut microbiome plays in overall immune system health but also in preventing a severe reaction to Covid-19. In my practice we use the GI Map test by Diagnostic Labs to pinpoint exactly what microorganisms are causing dysbiosis and the best approach to treating it.

A new study published this week reveals how the prescription diuretic Bumetamide reduces the symptoms of autism.
Interestingly, the drug treats swelling and works by repairing the neurotransmitter-related “GABA switch” (excitatory-to-inhibitory GABA switch) in the brains of autistic children.
There are however side effects and potential concerns because the drug can cause dehydration and electrolyte depletion-both crucial elements in addressing a child with autism.
On the hopeful side, this study shows another link between inflammation, and complex brain and/or nervous system disorders like Autism. It may follow that by lowering inflammation in the body, neurotransmitter function can be restored in autistic children, and may explain why some kids respond to functional medicine testing and treatment for digestive, nutrient and immune related imbalances that cause systemic inflammation.
Clinically, I recommend testing to see if taking nutrients like butyrate (and not taking GABA) is a better option for resolving symptoms in autistic children who are not responding well to treatment.

Here is a great article from Harvard Medical School’s health blog that clearly lists some of the main chemicals that we want our kids to steer clear of, and why. At our office we test children for imbalances that are sometimes caused by too much exposure to these chemicals, that can lead to avoidable health problems. They are often referred to as “endocrine disrupters” because they cause hormonal imbalances in the body.
It is a quick read and worth a look!

Every body is unique. We all have individual nutrient needs that cannot be met by simply taking a multivitamin along with the latest highly marketed nutritional supplement that we see on social media or on TV. That is why I am so pleased to share our new program with you.
The “Personalized Nutrient Two Month Medical Program” includes:
1) An initial medical nutrient intake by phone that is specific to searching for nutrient imbalances that are a cause for your symptoms. Together we will discuss your unique goals and the health challenges you may face.
2) Comprehensive blood and urine lab testing and medical interpretation of the lab results.
3) Follow up medical visit by phone to go over all test results.
4) Customized two month supply of your personalized powdered nutrient formulation based on your symptoms assessment and your urine and blood test results.
You will love the results and can finally feel confident knowing you are taking the nutrient supplements that you need and nothing more, and nothing less. This is a balanced approach to treating the underlying nutrient imbalances that can cause so many of our symptoms today.
-Dr. Gina
