👩🏻‍⚕️ LFTs, or Liver Function Tests, are blood tests that help evaluate how your liver is functioning 🩺 🩸They can give clues about liver inflammation, bile flow, protein production, and overall liver health through markers like AST, ALT, ALP, bilirubin, and albumin. These tests are commonly used…

👩🏻‍⚕️ I always tell my patients this: Breakfast is NOT just about eating something 🍳but it’s about how you start your metabolism for the day! ☀️ ⭐️ When you combine protein, healthy fats, and anti-inflammatory ingredients, you’re not just staying full longer. You’re actually stabilizing your…

👩🏻‍⚕️ In internal medicine, we often see patients who feel "fine" on paper but exhausted in reality. 🧬 The missing link? Tissue-level oxygen delivery 💙 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) changes the physics of your recovery. By increasing atmospheric pressure, we allow oxygen to dissolve directly…

LDL cholesterol is often called the “bad cholesterol,” but it’s more than just a number! 🩸 When elevated, LDL can enter the walls of your blood vessels, trigger inflammation, and contribute to plaque buildup over time. This process is a major driver of heart attacks and strokes. Let’s review what…

At Reynisfjara🇮🇸,I realized not everything broken needs fixing. Some things are meant to stay rough and that’s what makes them real. So maybe we don’t need perfect but just need to be real. 🌊 #Reynisfjara #iceland #nyc #mentalhealthawareness #doctoradvice
