What We're Treating

When asked, "Do you treat XYZ condition?" || Dr. Rasmussen's answer, "Are you a person?" -- The human behind any disease, diagnosis, syndrome, or label is so much more important to us than what we call it. Truly.

Here are some of the clinical highlights from this month:

• Managing inflammation + "controllables" in a (distance) patient with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer)
• Navigating several (acute + chronic) mold infections demonstrated in urine mycotoxin tests
• Fertility for Two: Helping a female and her partner navigate conception challenges by ensuring optimal biology and nutrient status
• Upping the mental game (brain blood flow, oxygenation, mindfulness, fuel) of a professional pickle baller (yes, that's a badass job title)
• Discovered heavy viral burden (Epstein Barr Virus + Cytomegalovirus + Parvovirus!) in a patient with known tick-borne illness
• Coordinating care with advanced labs and imaging for a few patients interested in longevity screening #biohackers

What We're Learning

I had the opportunity to attend the Great Lakes Conference in Minneapolis MN. This is one of my favorite learning opportunities of the year. I've been for the past 12 years! I'm also enjoying new online coursework specific for mold and tick-borne disease. ​ ​

I've been learning some BTS skills lately. We've migrated to a new email marketing system and I'm revamping graphics on the website and instagram. I'm enrolled in an intensive workshop (9-months!) to really up level how The Facility is showing up in the online space. ​

What We're Eating

The fall seasonal produce is the best of the year (in our opinion)! Give us alllll the squash, beets, and dark greens. Tie it all together with @letsmealtalk 's Sweet and Salty Seasonal Salad!

Mitchell thinks he makes a 'mean chili' that can rival Kevin's. His secret? Building it from a meaty base of Northstar Bison, Elk, and organs!

Lastly, Kate shared some non-protein-shake ways to use protein powder on the 'gram. All using the best beef isolate protein from Equip.

​

What We're Excited About

Ending the year on a high! We made it through a big location change and feel very settled into Kiln Littleton. We're really loving the opportunities that come with Telehealth and looking ahead to how we can improve as distance clinicians.

We don't get into big January 'reset' because we largely live with balance throughout the year. However, it is an exciting time for many patients who use the New Year to motivate / inspire a lifestyle shift. That energy is infectious (in a good way)! ✨
