Continuous Glucose Monitoring

In honor of November being National Diabetes Awareness Month, this blog is going to be solely focused on Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), but here’s the thing, CGM isn’t just for diabetics anymore. CGM can be extremely insightful for anyone to learn more about balancing their blood sugar and what personally affects their blood sugar regulation.

Did you know what you eat, when you eat, your movement, your sleep, and your stress all play a part in your blood sugar? The facts are that 1 out of 3 adults in America are pre-diabetic, and that’s a pretty high number. Just because your blood sugar is dysregulated does not mean you automatically have diabetes, but does increase your chance of developing diabetes in the future.  Blood sugar is important for us all in understanding our bodies better and controlling it is key to feeling better overall.

So, what is blood sugar exactly? Blood sugar is the energy your body uses that’s made from glucose and blood sugar is impacted by what you eat and drink. Consuming sugar in the form of junk food, candy, or drinks as well as foods high in carbohydrates can spike your blood sugar and make you feel far from your best. High blood sugar increases your inflammation levels along with your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and obesity. Learning how to control your blood sugar helps reduce your risk of disease.

So, what is Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and the importance of doing so to control your blood sugar? CGM is a tool to monitor your glucose levels at specific times of the day…before you eat, after you eat, and throughout the night. The monitor is one that you can wear for 14 days on your arm and can be scanned by your phone (with a connected app) to read your blood sugar levels throughout the day. The CGM takes the place of the original fingerstick readings and has the potential to give even more accurate results. Readings are taken every 5 minutes throughout the day and are stored in the database of the app in which you can view your glucose levels via a personalized graph on your phone. The readings captured all day long will be shown in the graph as trending towards hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Keeping your blood sugar within a target range throughout the day is your overall goal and a habit that can be worked on over time once you begin to understand how your actions are affecting your blood sugar highs and lows.

Learning how to use a CGM is important in addition to using one. Education of why your provider is requesting you use a CGM as well as how to use it is key to learning how to control your blood sugar on a more personalized level. In addition to using CGM as a tool, focusing on diet and lifestyle all the time is important to regulating your blood sugar levels on a day to day basis. CGM will give you an insider’s view on what your blood sugar is up to and how it is affected by your choices each day, but it isn’t a tool you can use all the time. Focusing on getting daily movement, quality sleep, and managing stress along with eating real, whole foods is huge in controlling your blood sugar and are habits you can pay attention to fine tuning each day. If you’re interested in learning more about your blood sugar and how you can control it please contact us at Enhanced Wellness Living to see how we can help you Live Life Well!

Is Shockwave Therapy Effective for Treating ED in Diabetics?

If you’re diabetic and struggle with erectile dysfunction, you may not be able to take oral medications for ED due to the potential side effects. Fortunately, shockwave therapy can be effective at treating ED caused by diabetes. Learn more about why diabetes causes ED and how shockwave therapy can help.

Why Does Diabetes Cause ED?

Diabetes and ED are often linked together due to the damage diabetes can do to blood vessels and nerves. In fact, studies suggest that somewhere between 35% and 75% of men with diabetes have suffered from ED. In addition to these high rates of ED, diabetics often experience ED symptoms 10 to 15 years earlier than men without diabetes.

The higher rates of ED in diabetics can be traced back to the effects of diabetes on the blood vessels and nerves in the penis. Since high blood sugar can harm blood vessels, the penis’s blood vessels are often impacted and cause diabetics to experience erectile dysfunction. Essentially, the damage to the nerves and blood vessels in the penis can end up reducing blood flow to the penis, making it difficult for many diabetics to achieve or maintain an erection. 

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, natural approach to treating ED with high-frequency, low-intensity sound waves. In this treatment, a medical professional will use a wand-like device that generates sound waves on the penis. These sound waves target the main causes of ED by breaking up plaque formation, stimulating the release of dormant stem cells and growth factors, and increasing blood flow.

Since plaque can build up over time in the penis and cause blockages in penile vessels, it can be a major cause of ED in many men. Shockwave therapy uses sound waves to break up the plaque, so it can pass through the vessels, freeing them up to handle more blood. 

Alongside breaking up plaque, the sound waves release growth factors in penile tissue and cause new blood vessels to form. These new blood vessels allow more blood to flow into the penis. Besides releasing growth factors, the sound waves activate dormant stem cells, which cause new cell growth that can repair damaged nerves. 

Does Shockwave Therapy Help Treat ED in Diabetics?

If you’re looking for an ED treatment for diabetes and sexual performance, shockwave therapy is an excellent choice. While anyone with diabetes and ED can often see positive results from lifestyle changes, like improving their exercise habits and diet to better maintain sugar levels, these changes won’t actually heal the damaged blood vessels in the penis. Shockwave therapy complements lifestyle changes by treating the root causes of ED in diabetics. By treating these root causes, shockwave therapy is an effective ED treatment option for diabetics.

How Shockwave Therapy Treats Diabetes-Related ED

Even if you’re prescribed pills to assist with diabetes-related ED, these pills are short-term solutions. Unlike shockwave therapy, ED pills only treat the issue for a few hours before they need to be taken again. As we mentioned previously, diabetics often suffer from ED due to nerve damage and damaged blood vessels. ED pills will increase blood flow in the penis for a short time without repairing them or treating any of the underlying issues.

In contrast, shockwave therapy goes after damaged blood vessels and nerves to provide a long-lasting solution to diabetics. When you undergo shockwave therapy for diabetes-related ED, the sound waves will activate stem cells that will help repair damaged nerves in your penis that might inhibit your erections. Additionally, growth factors will create new blood vessels, meaning your blood will have more pathways to travel to the penis and won’t rely solely on damaged blood vessels. 

By repairing damaged nerves and opening up new pathways, shockwave therapy offers diabetics a natural solution to ED that doesn’t require pills or invasive surgeries. Besides increasing blood flow to the penis, shockwave therapy can lead to greater sensation in the penis, as it breaks down scar tissue that could cause a reduced sensation. After completing therapy, men often report more frequent and longer-lasting erections, improved sensation, greater sexual performance, and stronger orgasms. As a long-term treatment solution, the positive effects of shockwave therapy often last around two years.

Why SHOCKWAVE Therapy At Enhanced Wellness Living Is an Excellent ED Treatment Option

While every ED treatment has pros and cons, GAINSWave therapy at Enhanced Wellness Living with Nurse Practitioner Kelly Engelmann, sets itself apart from other treatment options. Essentially, shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, long-lasting treatment option that doesn’t require surgery.

Instead, the treatment is painless and convenient. During treatment, NP Kelly Engelmann or NP Amanda Carter will use high-frequency, low-intensity sounds to remove micro-plaque, generate new blood vessel growth, and increase blood flow to the penis. After a few sessions, the treatment should be effective and long-lasting, with successful results often lasting for around two years.

Alongside being long-lasting, GAINSWave therapy doesn’t come with all the unpleasant side effects of many other treatments and is available to far more men who take other medications or have preexisting conditions. Due to the lack of side effects, GAINSWave therapy gives many more men the chance to achieve stronger, longer-lasting erections without having to undergo invasive surgery. GAINSWave therapy also has a 75% success rate, meaning it’s often a variable treatment for men wanting to improve their erections without having to deal with short-term solutions or dangerous side effects.

What causes ED?

How is Erectile Dysfunction Treated with Acoustic Wave Therapy?

GAINSWave Non-invasive Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

Mississippi ED Treatment

Blood flow is the most important aspect of getting and maintaining an erection. For this reason, poor circulation can cause erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction may also be a result of other health issues, emotional problems, or both.

When a man is sexually aroused, nerves will release chemicals that will increase the flow of blood to the penis. The blood will flow into two chambers that are located in the penis. These chambers are made of spongy muscle tissues. This spongy muscle tissue is referred to as the corpus cavernosum. When a man gets an erection, the corpus cavernosum will relax and then trap the blood inside. The pressure of the blood inside of the chambers will cause the penis to become firm. This is what causes the penis to become hard.

When a man orgasms, another set of nerves will create a signal. When this signal reaches the penis it causes the muscular tissues of the penis to begin to contract. The blood is then released back into circulation. At this time the erection will go down.

When a man is not sexually aroused his penis is going to feel soft and limp. A man may notice the size of his penis varies based on cold, warmth, and even worry. This is quite normal as it reflects the amount of blood that is coming and going through the penis.

Risk Factors for Erectile Dysfunction

There are several known risk factors for developing erectile dysfunction. Many of these risk factors also cause restricted blood flow throughout the body, causing poor circulation that in turn can cause erectile dysfunction. Some of the common risk factors associated with erectile dysfunction include:

  • Age (men over the age of 50 are more likely to develop ED)
  • High blood sugar
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Obesity
  • Smoking
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Use of illegal drugs
  • Sedentary lifestyle

Erectile dysfunction is more common in men as they get older, however, aging does not always cause a man to develop the condition. Often, erectile dysfunction is the sign that something more serious going on in the body. Given this, it is important that men who are suffering from erectile dysfunction discuss their issue with a GAINSWave® treatment provider.

When Erectile Dysfunction Occurs

Erectile dysfunction occurs when blood flow to the penis is restricted. Health issues such as heart disease, hardened arteries, and diabetes may all cause a lack of blood flow to the penis. Men who smoke are more likely to develop erectile dysfunction since smoking can decrease blood flow throughout the body.

If the penis cannot trap any blood into the spongy tissues located in the erection chambers, they will be unable to achieve an erection. If the blood gets trapped in the penis but cannot stay there, a man will lose his erection. Poor circulation and poor blood flow are both common among men who suffer from erectile dysfunction.

Diagnosing Erectile Dysfunction

In the majority of men who suffer from erectile dysfunction, the cause is likely poor circulation. Poor circulation may be caused by numerous different health issues. In order to diagnose erectile dysfunction, your medical professional will begin by asking you questions about your vascular and heart health along with your erection issues. Your doctor may also perform a physical examination or may refer you to a urologist for lab tests.

When suffering from erectile dysfunction it is important to answer all questions from your health care provider with honesty. Your doctor will likely ask you questions about your current health, prescription medications and over the counter medications you might be taking, your smoking habits, and your alcohol consumption. From this information, your doctor will learn more about what may be causing your erection issues.

Improving Circulation

When it comes to erectile dysfunction, blood circulation is extremely important. There are some lifestyle changes that may help improve the symptoms of erectile dysfunction. If you are overweight, dieting and losing weight may help with your erection issues. Men who smoke should quit as soon as possible.

There are also treatments available that can help to improve circulation. GAINSWave® is a form of erectile dysfunction treatment that uses low-intensity sound waves in order to improve the flow of blood to the penis.

Back on track with EWL!

Kelly has always looked for the reasons behind health issues and not just treated the symptoms. This has been key in successfully treating me for chronic problems I have had over the years. Several doctors and specialists told me that a daily antibiotic regimen for the rest of my life was the answer. This was destroying my gut, overall health, and peace of mind. Kelly has helped me calm inflammation by tackling blood sugar issues and by teaching me to incorporate moderate exercise, a clean diet, and mindful practices. I’m still on a journey, but Kelly’s advice, testing, and monitoring always get me back on track.

What causes ED?

How is Erectile Dysfunction Treated with Acoustic Wave Therapy?

GAINSWave Non-invasive Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

Mississippi ED Treatment

 

Erectile dysfunction products offer men hope. Especially, if the man does not possess the time nor patience for safe and efficient treatment. In such precarious situations, men will likely resort to cheap and potentially dangerous treatments. To make things worse, bold advertisement promises, at the right price, may allow men to ignore the risks associated with consuming unapproved medications.

Amazon recently issued a recall announcement, stating that some erectile dysfunction pills, offered by vendor Your Favorite Shop, were “tainted by tadalafil.” Tadalafil is actually approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Tadalafil is a blood vessel dilator, which makes it an effective ingredient in erectile dysfunction medication. Cialis and Adcirca contain tadalafil.

The reason why Amazon issued the recall however, was that the Your Favorite Shop medications were not subject to FDA approval. Therefore, there is no way to measure the amount of tadalafil in each pill, or to check that the pills are even fake and could contain dangerous ingredients.

Don’t Buy Erectile Dysfunction Medicine off the Internet

As noted earlier, tadalafil is a blood vessel dilator. The medicine belongs to a class of drugs known as phosphodiesterase-5 and effective erectile dysfunction treatment. But taking the recalled pills could potentially lower blood pressure to dangerously low levels. 

An erectile dysfunction treatment is very lucrative. Just Google “erectile dysfunction cures” and tens of millions sites will appear. Granted, these options may be cheap. Even more advantageous, the options provide hope to desperate men. However, such options can be dangerous at best and deadly at worst.

An investigation from the FDA revealed that more than ⅓ of dietary supplements advertised as erectile dysfunction cures, contained prescription drugs, like tadalafil or sildenafil, an ingredient in Viagra. 

Around the Globe, People are Suffering from Internet Impotence Pills

As frightening as the thought of purchasing fake erectile dysfunction medicine off the internet is here in America, imagine contemplating similar fears in countries with less internet regulations. A 49 year old man, in a country in Asia, who took a fake version of Cialis, was taken to the hospital after experiencing stroke-like symptoms. He died two weeks later.

According to a South African news report, many patients were hospitalized with hypoglycemia, which occurs when the body undergoes a sudden drop in blood sugar. Many of these patients had taken fake erection medications. 

Why Purchasing Cheap Erectile Dysfunction Pills is a Bad Idea

The risks of consuming erectile dysfunction medicine from the internet is more dangerous than that. Even if the pills contain what is advertised, the exact amount of each ingredient is impossible to verify. 

According to WebMD, more than half of all the erectile dysfunction drugs sold online are fake. Tadalafil could be dangerous to consume if the amount is too excessive or if mixed with other medicine. However, some erectile dysfunction medication will contain flat-out dangerous ingredients, like talcum powder, paint or even printer ink. 

Those with certain conditions are even more at risk of sustaining serious health risks by consuming cheap pills purchased off the internet. The way drugs interact with each other can have deadly effects. For example, those with heart conditions and high blood pressure, who take blood thinners and alpha blockers should be careful while mixing erectile dysfunction pills. Those with such conditions, need to speak with a doctor before consuming medicines.

An Effective Non-Invasive Solution

GAINSWave Shock Wave Treatment took the erectile dysfunction industry by storm. Suddenly, there was a solution that was effective, safe and non-invasive. Which means, impotent individuals do not have to subject themselves to the dangers of online pills.

Consuming any pills purchased on the internet, is really just a roll of the die. Will it work? Will my health be okay tomorrow morning? Such daunting questions are enough to rain on anyone’s parade.

GAINSWave Shock Wave Therapy uses sound waves to remove plaque from one’s blood  stream. The procedure also promotes the growth of new and healthy blood vessels. As a result, blood flow is vastly improved.  Improper blood flow is one of the most common causes of erectile dysfunction.

GAINSWave is a non-invasive and drug-free procedure that uses soundwaves to improve blood flow to the penis. The procedure is also referred to as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy. In fact, GAINSWave uses the only device approved by the FDA to provide the therapy. GAINSWave has helped countless people. Read this inspiring account to learn how it helped one individual.

Foundations of Wellness

What is Functional Medicine anyway?  You may have heard it called Root Cause Medicine, Holistic Health, Integrative Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine.

At Enhanced Wellness Living we look at medicine from a different perspective.  In Functional Medicine we treat the person, rather than the disease.  To achieve true healing and prevent dis-ease we must cultivate resilience, we do so through building a strong foundation.

 

Resilience

Let’s talk about resilience because truly that is what this program is all about! Without having a solid foundation of healthy habits, your resilience or reserve tank, is going to be lacking. Let’s face it, we all come face to face with physical, mental, and metabolic challenges throughout our lives, but when it comes down to it, how do we bounce back from these adversities?

If we have a solid foundation of healthy nutrition, quality sleep, daily movement, hormone balance, and positive relationships, our bounce back will be greater. On the other hand, if you struggle to keep blood sugar balanced, have poor immunity, don’t exercise, and lack healthy relationships in your life, your reserve tank needs a boost!

Your resilience is directly proportional to your level of health. Let us help you recapture, build, and improve that high degree of resilience through our Foundations of Wellness!

Do you struggle to make positive nutrition and lifestyle choices that keep you in an optimal state of health? At Enhanced Wellness Living, we strive to educate you on practical and sustainable nutrition and lifestyle habits that build resilience!  Anyone can make positive habit changes to feel better, but the truth is that most often these changes only last short-term. If you’re looking to make lifelong changes to improve your resilience, then this program is for you!

Did you know that inflammation is at the root cause of 90% of diseased states? The food you eat and how you live have a direct correlation to your inflammation levels!  We are here to support you in lowering your inflammatory burden, balancing blood sugar, and improving body composition by building a strong, resilient foundation that is supported by simple nutrition and lifestyle principles. Having a strong foundation is a must for resilience and longevity!  Anyone can do something for a period and feel better, we’re here to ensure that you’re learning this well-thought-out process as a way of sustainable living!

Whether you struggle with inflammation, lacking nutrition, overwhelming stress, poor sleep and fatigue, brain fog, hormonal imbalances, sexual dysfunction, Autoimmune disease, a thyroid condition, or digestion issues/poor gut health, this program is for you!  You will be given the tools to use this program to create a lifestyle of healing and wellness through sustainable changes to your nutrition, sleep, stress management, hormone balance, and more!

 

“ It can be easy to dismiss the importance of any one of these principals because we have been conditioned to take each one for granted. Everyone has endured sleepless nights, inflammation and irritation, stressful situations, poor dietary choices, and sedentary days, but these unhealthy scenarios jeopardize your health and seriously compromise the very foundation upon which your quality of life and well-being depend.” –Kelly Engelmann, FNP-BC, Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner, Founder of Enhanced Wellness Living, Ridgeland, Mississippi

Foundations of Wellness

Detoxification-by reducing your intake of inflammatory foods, decreasing your toxic burden, and using supplementation and food to support your body’s natural process of offloading you are creating a lifestyle of detoxification

Nutrition­-the food we eat can either be the most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison. We use whole foods and hydration to nourish ourselves, promote healing, prevent disease, and encourage longevity

Movement-food is the most abused anxiety drug, exercise is the most under-utilized antidepressant. While we each needs different types of exercise, we all need at least 30 minutes of consecutive movement a day. Exercise supports detoxification, promotes immune health, increases metabolism, reduces stress, improves sleep and more

Hormone Balance–our principles of reducing inflammation, uncovering and eliminating food intolerances, using nutrition, hydration, high-quality supplementation, and education, alongside in-depth testing to find balance and build resilience

Mindset­-stress is inevitable, we must develop the mental capacity for resilience. The first step in cultivating a mindset of resilience is keeping the promises we make to ourselves. Dedicating even 3 minutes a day to focus on self-care can make a huge impact on our lives. Without mental resilience we cannot build physical resilience.

Intro To Functional Living

At Enhanced Wellness Living, we strive to educate you on your individual health, how your nutrition and lifestyle impact your health, and on how to take control of your health for life.  This program is an introduction to Functional Medicine, nutrition, and living life well!

Did you know food is medicine? Truly it is. With proper nutrition, high-quality supplementation, hormone balance, and education one can bring the body from a state of dis-ease into a state of health and wellness.

At Enhanced Wellness Living, we do healthcare differently.  We treat the person rather than the disease.  We look at you as a whole, and your health throughout your entire life, to understand and eradicate the root cause of your symptoms and to create a lifestyle of wellness, energy, vitality, and longevity.

What is ED? 

What causes ED?

How is Erectile Dysfunction Treated with Acoustic Wave Therapy?

GAINSWave Non-invasive Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

Mississippi ED Treatment

Erectile dysfunction is a condition common in every society across the world. No man is safe from the curse of impotence. However, there exists a significant difference in rates of erectile dysfunction in different countries. What reasoning can be used to explain this disparity? After all, they may live in different pockets across the world, but every man shares the same anatomical features. Why would a man living in Tokyo be more likely to have ED than a man living in Brazil? 

 

Lifestyle Habits Are to Blame

 

One likely possibility could be the certain societies’ perceptions of ED. Considering how taboo the condition is perceived in the society would be indicative of how likely a man would be to seek treatment from their doctor. According to a study by Kantar Health, men in the US as well as in the five European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK) were most likely to speak with a physician regarding ED. As a result, these men were more likely to be prescribed effective medication.

 

Another contributing factor to this global ED disparity could be a country’s lifestyle. According to Nature, obesity could increase the risk of ED by 30-90%. As a result, men living in cultures that consume unhealthy diets, are more likely to have ED.

 

According to the Kantar Healthy study, China and Japan are the two countries with the highest ED rates, 34.7% and 42.6% respectively. These two countries also have some of the highest rates of smokers and drinkers in the population. Different percentages of erectile dysfunction in different countries could be explained by lifestyle choices of that region.

 

Improper Blood Flow is a Leading Contributor of Erectile Dysfunction

 

One of the most common contributors of ED is improper blood circulation. After all, an erection forms after receiving a command from the brain. When a man becomes aroused, his brain sends a signal to his penis to become erect. In more scientific terms, when a men is sexually aroused, nerves release chemicals that increase blood flow to the penis. ED occurs when the signal is unable to reach the destination, or if the process takes a considerable amount of time.

 

Popular ED medication, like Viagra and Cialis, temporarily fixes the problem, by increasing blood flow in the body, and to the penis.

 

There are risk factors that will restrict the bodies’ blood circulation. 

 

  • Age 
  • Blood sugar
  • Blood pressure
  • Cholesterol
  • Obesity
  • Smoking
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Use of illegal drugs
  • Sedentary lifestyle

As the list implies, certain lifestyle choices, like drinking, smoking and diet can make a man more likely to have erectile dysfunction.

 

GAINSWave is a Safe and Effective Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction

 

As noted earlier, popular ED medications temporarily fixes the condition, by increasing the body’s blood flow. However, after taking such medications, the next morning the man will still be suffering from ED – forcing him to gobble a little blue pill every time love is in the air.

Inflammation

At Enhanced Wellness Living, we are extremely passionate about educating you on the root cause of your symptoms, which is often inflammation. It’s important to understand we all have inflammation in our bodies, and it’s not necessarily bad if it’s controlled!

Inflammation is at the root of 90% of diseased states. This means that 90% of the time you go to your physician you are experiencing an inflammatory dysfunction or an inflammatory diseased state. Inflammation is at the root of: chronic pain, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson’s Disease, cancer, the list goes on and on. We may not think about diseases in this way, but at the end of the day they are inflammatory conditions. If you want to have better health, it’s important to first understand what’s driving your inflammation. Let’s begin with what inflammation is.

What is inflammation? Inflammation is a common occurrence, it’s a natural response, it’s your body healing and recovering. Not all inflammation is bad. Think of cutting your finger, this is acute inflammation. As your red blood cells rush to the site, your finger gets red, swollen, hot, and painful. This is an example of how your body needs inflammation, and uses it to heal and repair itself. The problem occurs when acute inflammation becomes chronic inflammation, or a disease state. In Functional or Integrative Medicine, we look at WHAT is driving your inflammation and find the root of it. Let’s be honest, we’re all inflamed, but when you can understand what is causing the inflammation then you can be more aware of potential drivers or triggers, and live accordingly. 

Hear more about inflammation from Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner Kelly Engelmann herself!  

Intro to Inflammation      Foods that Impact Inflammation      Toxins as Drivers of Inflammation           

Let’s talk about chronic inflammation which is when that acute inflammation turns into chronic and there is no control of it in the body. Chronic inflammation leads to a diseased state, and the food we are consuming is our primary driver of inflammation. You could be eating really, really healthy but may be still chronically inflamed. What’s healthy for one does not necessarily mean it is healthy for another due to bio individuality. There is not a one size fits all approach in Functional Medicine. In addition to food being the primary driver, we take a deeper dive into where the food is being sourced from, are there chemicals that you’re ingesting from your food, etc.

In Functional Medicine, we also look at other drivers of inflammation such as parasites, bacteria, dysbiosis (imbalanced gut microbiome), infection, blood sugar disturbances, stress, food sensitivities or intolerances. 

Toxins may also be driving your inflammation. There are 3 categories of toxins: Environmental, Lifestyle, and Internal. Environmental toxins are the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Examples of environmental toxins are: Pesticides/Insecticides, Cleaning Products, and Heavy Metals. Lifestyle toxins are the choices we make and the things we do to ourselves knowingly or unknowingly. Examples of lifestyle toxins are: Nicotine, Alcohol, and Food Additives. The last category, Internal toxins, are the things our bodies produce because of bacteria, yeast, and/or parasites in the gut. Causes or examples of internal toxins are: Stress, Unresolved Trauma, and Unhappy Relationships.

The bottom line is there are multiple potential drivers of inflammation, it is not a one size fits all approach. At Enhanced Wellness Living we help you navigate a long-term plan to approach inflammation from a Functional Medicine perspective so you can Live Life Well!
