  • Progesterone while newly pregnant?
    dockatieptD dockatiept

    Progesterone supplementation can help prevent miscarriage in the first trimester for women who struggle to produce this hormone. Typically, it isn’t needed after the first trimester once the placenta takes over, but always best to talk to your provider.

    Factors such as stress and diet can play a role in your body’s ability to produce progesterone naturally.

    I personally used bio-identical vaginal suppositories that I got at a local compounding pharmacy with my first pregnancy. They can make you feel a little more crummy overall.

    Hang in there mama!

    First Trimester

  • Driving from TX to 30A
    dockatieptD dockatiept

    We drove from Austin to Gulf Shores last year. Stopped at Bass Pro Shops near Baton Rouge both ways which was a hit with our toddler, we also made stops at sporting goods stores, Chick-fil-A, Buc-ees, etc. it was a lot slower than our usual pace, but we made it 😅.

    Also thought about stopping at the aquariums in Biloxi or New Orleans, but our timing of getting to those places didn’t sync with nap time so we skipped them

  • Aquasauna Water Filter

    We have one and love it! It comes with the faucet so my husband drilled a separate hole in our countertop using a special bit for granite and was able to install it himself. I was leary of him drilling a separate whole, but I like having it a small distance from our sprayer faucet. My parents have an RO system and their faucet is off to the side as well.

  • Postpartum Appointment Questions?
    dockatieptD dockatiept

    I recommend all moms get a referral for pelvic floor PT postpartum. There are so many changes that your body went through that it’s important to get an evaluation to find any deficits you might have lingering that could lead to dysfunction long term if not addressed. Recovery from a C-section vs vaginal deliveries can have some differences, but also a lot of similarities.

    If you don’t have access to a pelvic floor PT, I recommend doing some sort of core/pelvic floor recovery program to build a solid foundation prior to jumping back into your regular workouts.

    The Raise with Strength - Postpartum Course is a great option that consists of 3 workouts per week that average about 20 min. It starts easy enough to start before 6 weeks if you feel ready and ends with light resistance work to gradually ramp you up. It also includes lots of educational information regarding when you should see a pelvic floor PT for a full assessment. Strengthdignitywellness.com/courses

  • 7 day stomach bug or flu?!
    dockatieptD dockatiept

    I’m so sorry you are dealing with this! I personally put activated charcoal in my toddler’s water when he has tummy bugs. The AC will bind any bugs/toxins in their system and help eliminate it. I also personally take it when my toddler is sick as a preventative measure. You can get the activated charcoal at Whole Foods or Natural Grocers.

  • Avoiding the dreaded flu and all the viruses - Immunity Hacks!!
    dockatieptD dockatiept

    Long-term, having a healthy diet, adequate sleep, and exercise can all boost the immune system. If you or a family member commonly get sick, taking a deeper dive into gut health via stool testing & labs can be helpful.

    In the short term Viracid by Orthomolecular is a great immune boosting supplement and available through my Fullscript https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/dockatiept

    Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc, NAC, probiotics, and elderberry are all good immune boosting supplements in times of heightened illness.

    If the flu hits, all the previously listed supplements, salt & iodine baths, Oscillococcinum, other homeopathy based on symptoms in addition to staying hydrated and resting may help you feel better faster.
