[Podcast] Technically Well w/ Norin Lavaee

What does Naturopathic Medicine have to do with emerging technology and AI? Find out in my latest podcast appearance on Technically Well.

In this episode, I share my passion for redefining hormone health for women over 40. As a naturopathic doctor, I've dedicated my career to helping women navigate the complex journey of perimenopause with confidence and vitality. I open up about my evolution from traditional naturopathic practice to creating an online presence, allowing me to reach and support more women during this crucial life transition.

I dive into my approach to hormone health, drawing from my years of clinical experience to help women reclaim their energy, mood stability, and overall wellbeing. During our conversation, I share insights about how I'm helping women embrace this transition as an opportunity for renewal and empowerment, rather than something to simply endure.

Join me for this inspiring discussion about revolutionizing the way we think about and treat perimenopause, and learn how I'm helping women turn what's often seen as a challenging time into a period of vibrant health and personal growth.

To your everlasting health,
Dr. Tracy

Boost Your Hormones with This Delicious Kale & Butternut Squash Salad

Hey there , are you ready for pumpkin spice season?

I've got a treat for you today - a recipe that's not just delicious, but also a hormone-balancing powerhouse. Say hello to my Kale and Butternut Squash Salad with Pumpkin Spice Croutons and Maple Tahini Dressing!

But before we dive into the recipe, let me tell you why this salad is a perimenopausal woman's best friend:

Butternut Squash: This orange beauty is packed with beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A. Did you know that vitamin A is crucial for healthy ovulation? Even if you're not trying to get pregnant, balanced ovulation helps keep your hormones in check throughout your cycle.

Kale: This cruciferous veggie is a hormone hero. It contains compounds that help your body metabolize estrogen more efficiently. This is super important during perimenopause when estrogen levels can be all over the place.

Now, here's the simple recipe:

>>Kale and Butternut Squash Salad with Pumpkin Spice Croutons and Maple Tahini Dressing!<<

This salad is perfect for lunch or as a side dish with dinner. It's an easy, tasty way to support your hormones naturally.

Remember, eating for hormone balance doesn't have to be complicated or boring. Simple, wholesome meals like this can make a big difference in how you feel.


To your health and happiness,
Dr. Tracy

Patient Testimonial:
"Before I met Dr. Tracy, I was thinking about doing a hysterectomy to completely remove my uterus and ovaries because I couldn't bear the discomfort that I have been feeling for a long time. Dr. Tracy helped me discover the cause of why I have been feeling low energy, fatigued, irritable and helped get my sleep back. For many months, I have only slept less than 5 hours a night. After she prescribed the proper supplements, diet, exercise and meditation practices, I started feeling myself again."

The Wild Robot - Fast Film Reviews - Adventure

Title: The Wild Robot
Author: Mark Hobin
Category: Adventure
Content:

Rating 6/10

DreamWorks Animation (Shrek, Madagascar) presents the tale of an android named Roz (Lupita Nyong'o) who gets stranded on an island and has to figure out how to survive. Based on the popular book series by Peter Brown, the movie is brimming with beautiful computer animation with a painterly aesthetic designed to look hand-drawn. A family of otters discover a robot washed up on an uncivilized isle. Her full name is ROZZUM-7143. Constructed as a helper bot, Roz quickly acclimates to the new habitat, learning the various animals' languages. However, she cannot find anyone who requires help. While attempting to get her manufacturers to retrieve her, she accidentally destroys a goose nest and leaves only one egg. Roz takes responsibility for raising the hatchling and names him Brightbill (Kit Connor). She also recruits a sly fox named Fink (Pedro Pascal) for help. As Roz and Brightbill form a unique bond, the plot focuses on Roz's journey to care for the young gosling while getting to know the area's other animal inhabitants: a Virginia opossum (Catherine O'Hara), a Canada goose (Bill Nighy), a brown bear (Mark Hamill), a beaver (Matt Berry), and a peregrine falcon (Ving Rhames).  Roz grows beyond the limits of her programming as she finds her place in this untamed region. The Wild Robot offers a colorful adventure for kids and families but has more on its mind than a surface-level spectacle. The narrative explores the idea of what it means to truly exist. Roz starts as a automaton built to follow commands, but over time, she grows into something much more as she adapts to the island and connects with the animals. Roz is a cyborg, sure, but she also becomes a mother, a friend, and a protector. The account explores making these connections in a naive way. The early scenes that establish the foundation of the characters and their environment are fresh and imaginitve.  However as the story progresses, it sucuubs to formula.  Roz becomes more sentient, and the screenplay by director Chris Sanders (The Croods) dramatically simplifies the complexities of how an artificial being might develop emotions in favor of crafting a heartwarming tale for children. Nevertheless, viewers of all ages will likely find much to appreciate in its innocent charm. This exploration of identity, transformation, and self-discovery has been explored in many animated films. This theme is especially present in the works of Hayao Miyazaki, such as My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away, which emphasize the connection to nature and the power of friendships. The chronicle also echoes the gentle, emotional journeys of pictures like WALL·E, The Iron Giant, Bambi, Finding Nemo, The Lion King, Zootopia, Big Hero 6, and How to Train Your Dragon. While it's a familiar path, the story follows it with skill and heart. I mean, I'm all for that. The Wild Robot illustrates that even a machine can reveal what it means to be human. 09-26-24
