Does this resonate with you? 🙋🏼‍♀️

If you’ve worked with a functional medicine doctor to get to the root cause of your symptoms, you know this to be true.

Dr. McCubbin was an Emergency Room Physician for over 25 years. She knows first hand we do acute medicine really well. If the ‘sound’ is obvious.. broken bones, the flu, surgeries, emergency care… we got you. But if you are dealing with a chronic illness, weight stagnation, hormone imbalance, autoimmune conditions or symptoms that make getting through the day tough, but your “blood work is normal.” Maybe it’s time to try something new?? Let’s look under the hood!

Schedule your free 15 minute phone call with Dr. McCubbin to see if Radiance Functional Medicine is the right fit for you.

🔥We know that acute inflammation is a good thing.⁠ We need it to survive! Some examples are a sore throat, hives, a broken leg from playing hockey. And, thank goodness, Western Medicine does acute care really well!⁠

🚩The trouble occurs when inflammation runs out of control and becomes chronic. Overactive immune responses include things like allergies, asthma, autoimmune disease.⁠

This chronic inflammation is the root cause of all illness:⁠
⚠️heart disease⁠
⚠️obesity⁠
⚠️diabetes⁠
⚠️dementia⁠
⚠️depression⁠
⚠️+ so much more⁠

And Western medicine often does not have the tools or the understanding to help with this type of chronic inflammation.⁠

4 things you can do to begin creating a healthy gut microbiome 🦠⁠

1️⃣ Eat the right foods.⁠
Eliminate processed food and sugar, eat a whole-foods diet rich in polyphenols. Aim for a rainbow of colors everyday, focusing on vegetables with some fruit thrown in the mix. Include prebiotic foods such as Jerusalem artichokes, leeks, jicama, asparagus, garlic and turmeric. And consume some fermented food in your diet on a regular basis.⁠

2️⃣ Take a high quality probiotic.⁠
Select one with multiple strains of the good bacteria such as Lactobacillus.⁠

3️⃣ Support your digestion.⁠
Eat slowly, chew your food and be relaxed when you eat. Don’t take antacids on a regular basis. If you are on a proton pump inhibitor like Prilosec or Protonix daily, see a functional medicine provider to assist in weaning off these medicines.⁠

4️⃣ Find a technique to manage stress.⁠
Exercise and meditation are my 2 big suggestions here. High stress levels have been shown to decrease levels of Lactobacillus (good bacteria) in our microbiome.⁠

Nutrition is a pillar of health at Radiance FM 🤩⁠
We ask you about your diet on your intake paperwork and again at your Initial Consultation. We have two Nutrition Therapists on staff. In our Hormone Replacement Therapy contract, there is a line about consuming cruciferous vegetables 🥦 weekly! We want to know what kinds of foods you like and don't like, how often do you meal prep and order in food. It's never from a place of judgement, we can promise you that. We have all been on our own journey to find a diet that optimizes our individual health and we know how powerful it can be. ⁠
⁠
We ask about your diet from a very genuine place of helping you heal. Our diet is the most modifiable factor to our health. From acne, hormone imbalance, sleep issues, mental health to autoimmune conditions, the food we consume has a large impact on how we feel. We can help you to optimize the foods you eat. It can be very overwhelming to make changes to your diet with so much information and opinions out there. ⁠
⁠
We are on your side and truly love talking about food! Sometimes the smallest changes can have the biggest impact. Our Nutrition Therapists are available for one-on-one appointments at any stage of your health journey. ⁠
