Do You Think You Need Genetic Testing
Dr. Serena Goldstein

Understanding our genes and genetics is paramount in unraveling the intricate blueprint of our existence. It’s what we’re dealt, though so much of our lifestyle, energetics, etc. can all contribute to our health concerns. In fact, while genes make up anywhere from about 5-10% of our health outcome, so to speak, we really do have a lot more say in the matter than we’re led to believe. Our genes contain the instructions that determine our physical characteristics, predispositions to certain diseases, and even our behaviors and personalities to some extent. By delving into our genetic makeup, we ..read more

5 Answers to your most common questions!
Dr. Serena Goldstein

Have you ever wondered about these concerns? Or even if concerns are interrelated? You're not alone! In addition to of course fielding many questions about #hormonebalance - I commonly find myself talking about these associated symptoms that those pesky (yet loving) hormones may be causing! What can I do for sleep? So much! Start with turning off electronics about an hour before bed, nixing food intake about 2-3 hours before, and hold off on water intake around that time as well. I do prefer more gentle supplements like magnesium & l-theanine, but ideally we take a look at exactly wh ..read more

5 Ways to Correct High Estrogen

How can you tell if you have high estrogen?? It's not always easy to tell because symptoms tend to mimic that of low thyroid and low estrogen (a paradox), for example, but if you're experiencing: ➡️ʜᴇᴀᴠʏ ᴍᴇɴꜱᴇꜱ/ᴘᴀɪɴꜰᴜʟ ᴘᴇʀɪᴏᴅꜱ ➡️ ʟᴏᴡ ʟɪʙɪᴅᴏ ➡️ ᴛʀᴏᴜʙʟᴇ ʙᴜɪʟᴅɪɴɢ ᴍᴜꜱᴄʟᴇ (ᴇꜱᴘᴇᴄɪᴀʟʟʏ ɪɴ ᴍᴇɴ) ➡️ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ɢᴀɪɴ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʙᴅᴏᴍᴇɴ ➡️ ᴍᴏᴏᴅ ꜱᴡɪɴɢꜱ (ᴇ.ɢ. ᴀɴxɪᴇᴛʏ, ᴅᴇᴘʀᴇꜱꜱɪᴏɴ) ➡️ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴀᴄʜᴇꜱ ᴏʀ ᴍɪɢʀᴀɪɴᴇꜱ, ᴇꜱᴘᴇᴄɪᴀʟʟʏ ᴀʀᴏᴜɴᴅ ᴍᴇɴꜱᴇꜱ ...then you might have high estrogen. This can be caused by a whole host of factors, and at the same time there may be high estrogen, or even normal estrogen levels but low progest ..read more

Healthy-ish Over the Holidays
Dr. Serena Goldstein

In the midst of holiday season, or even if you’re about to go on vacation, have you ever felt that it either needs to be all or nothing when it comes to what you eat, or even a bit of the mindset “I’ll start over in the New Year”? While it’s quite common, and especially in large groups of people where research has shown we may subconsciously eat more than usual, there are also ways to remain healthy - or ‘healthy-ish’ over the holidays. I would describe ‘healthy-ish’ as where you generally eat the same way you would other times of the year, but maybe there are other foods and drinks that seem ..read more

Ways to Step Off a Weight Plateau
Dr. Serena Goldstein

They’re not fun. Just when you think things are going alright, you’re losing weight, some habit, food, emotion, etc. returns and your weight plateaus. Or perhaps increases. Either way, both are frustrating. What can also be frustrating is if maybe you continue to lose weight, but then wonder why or if ‘all this’ is something you’re going to have to keep up. That said, when it comes to a weight plateau, there are many ways you can identify the issue, address it, or maybe even find some way around it: 1) Intermittent fasting- this is where you go about 12-15 hours between dinner and breakfast ..read more

5 Ways to Raise Your Vibration
Dr. Serena Goldstein

We all have moments of feeling unsure, unable to make a decision, or perhaps even needing a minute to just roll it around in our heads. Whether it’s trying new food, a new exercise program, or even finding a new mentor/teacher. It’s not just the ‘mind’ getting clear on what we want, but it’s allowing our spirit to get clear on what we need. 1) Turn on the radio- Sometimes you never know when a song is going to ‘hit’ you in the right way, who’s lyrics may mean something slightly different this time, or maybe it’s the nostalgia that makes you smile. 2) Have a piece of dark chocolate- Or someth ..read more

Keep Your Dreams Close
Dr. Serena Goldstein
by Serena Goldstein
2y ago
Psychologically, there are terms called intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to help describe why we decide to keep some habits, and why others decide to fall away- or we get fed up, need a change, or just something ‘different’ even if we’re not quite sure yet what that looks like. ? Intrinsic motivation= it comes from the heart and soul, that burning desire, can’t quite explain it but your reason goes beyond ‘just’ a number on a scale, comparison to others, or anything finite. In other words, this reason is what helps keep you grounded and patient. ? Extrinsic motivation= based on a finite goa ..read more

Your Gifts are in Your Struggles
Dr. Serena Goldstein

What have you learned about yourself in times of perceived hardship? What would you have done differently upon reflection? When I was younger dad used to always ask me “Why do you have to learn the hard way?”, and I used to say that I don’t want to tell my future children (or others) about what someone else did, I wanted to be able to impart my own experience. As I got older, I began to understand someone else’s ‘hard way’ can actually be an important lesson for someone else. If you feel down about your health at the moment & others say ‘don’t worry’ how can you transcend scowling at them ..read more

Heal According to Nature's Elements

Mark Twain said “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” The first one not only happened, but you have some sort of blueprint to go with it (i.e. astrology natal chart, fate, etc.), yet in search of the second, who/ what are you nourishing in the meantime?  When we make our growth a priority regardless of the ‘label’ (i.e. entrepreneur, caretaker, employee), we may have an idea of where we’re going yet can’t always anticipate events along the way. This can leave us feeling like there’s a void, unknown, and it’s not necessarily comfo ..read more
