Things I have learned this year, that I might have already known, but wanted to share!
1) Liposuction hurts really bad! Like worse than you think and some say "not worth it!". And, did you know that if you receive abdominal liposuction you may not be a future candidate to use your own stomach tissue to reconstruct a breast? And you can't "undo" lipo!
2) Fibromyalgia is real. It has real markers and I can even feel "it" in some of my clients. Lymphatic Drainage massage therapy, which is a very light touch relaxing massage, can really help to calm and literally reset the nervous system. I have helped many clients return to an activity level that is enjoyable post diagnosis of this condition.
3) Hormones are here to help you not to hurt you. They can help you retain basic metabolic function well into those peri and post menopause years. Birth Control is not natural hormone replacement therapy, it is birth control! Don't let your doctors tell you you don't need HRT. This is a larger conversation about your body and metabolic health, not just preventing pregnancy!
4) Communicate with your doctor about your health and vaccinate when appropriate! The world is crazy, your personal health doesn't have to be!
5) You are perfect! There is only one of you! If you want to change something about yourself, I understand the pressures these days, but just consider that maybe you are perfect just the way you are! I see so many bodies and they are all unique and amazing. They are all so different and yet they all work in their own way!
Come see me if you need help remembering how great you are!
