Dr. Yembe also specializes in medical weight loss therapy and bio identical hormone therapy. Here’s what she has to say about hormone therapy:“I have been a Board Certified Family Medicine Physician since 2005. I have a little over 11 years of combined ER, Urgent Care and Family Medicine experience. My practice is a merge and marriage between traditional family medicine and urgent care. During my lifetime of practice, the topic about hormones always ALWAYS comes up. I have seen sentiments form interest to intimidation, confusion, controversy, fear and many sentiments far-fetched and in-between. Women and men, some as early as the age of 35, are walking around feeling terrible, with low energy, depression, or having a general feeling of not being who they are.
Weight loss | Bioidentical Hormone Therapy | BOTOX cosmetic No appointment is needed. Hours:
My research led me to Sotopelle therapy because it’s delivery mechanism I THINK mimics the bodies production and release of hormone therapy.
7 am to 8 pm Monday through Friday 10 am to 6 pm Saturday
If you take a pill, cream or patch it does not respond to your body’s physiologic hormone demand. You get a fixed dose everyday. However in reality, sometimes our bodies need more hormones sometimes it needs less.

With palette therapy, a palette is placed under the skin, blood flows around it and because of this, you have not only less hormone use, but it also follows a physiologic process. These hormones are bio identical. The dosage is individualized – so your hormone levels are first tested and based on an a highly researched and very effective algorithm, the appropriate dosage of hormones that you need is determined. SottoPelle® has helped thousands of patients get back what they thought they had lost forever—their quality of life. Many find the benefits of this therapy simply astounding. if you would like to know more about bio identical hormone treatment as well as the discounts and convenient payment plans we will offer, contact us at 940-365-2273 or send an email to americanstatcaretx@gmail.com.

Dr. Stephans graduated from Parker College of Chiropractic in 2005. He and his wife, Angie, have two daughters – Sophie (3) and Rylee (19 months). At Functional Health Centers, they take a unique approach to healthcare in that they look at the underlying cause of the issue, as opposed to looking at just the symptoms the way traditional healthcare does. With all of the recent changes in healthcare, Dr. Stephans began noticing that patient care was suffering and becoming unaffordable. With that conclusion, he decided to make a change in their office – make healthcare affordable and allow patients to receive the care they need. The result? Happier and healthier patients!

In Good Taste
Connect Kids with Food for Healthy Habits More than nine in 10 millennial moms think it's important for their kids to learn about where their food comes from, and more than three-quarters of those moms actively do things with their kids to help learn just that, according to recent findings.
Flower Salad
Building healthy habits is the top reason moms cite for encouraging more learning when it comes to food, according to research conducted by IPSOS on behalf of Cuties – the sweet little clementines. Even when the weather is colder outside, these tips make it fun for families to learn about where their food comes from and help encourage kids to eat healthy for a lifetime.
Flower:
1. Grocery shop together or go to a farmers market. Many cities now have year-round indoor markets, where together you can select fruits and veggies to try. Often the farmers are there, so you can learn about produce and get ideas for how to prepare unfamiliar items at home. 2. Cook with your kids. Find fun recipes that let them explore fresh foods where they can be creative. Find age-appropriate ways to involve them, like stirring or measuring, and encourage them to get hands-on with recipes, such as this fun Flower Salad recipe from registered dietitian Ellie Krieger. 3. Explore the story of where some of their favorite foods come from. Kids learn and remember information when it comes in the form of a story. Cuties is giving families the chance to uncover those stories by encouraging them to submit questions using #AskAGrower on Facebook. Actual growers will answer with stories about how this sweet, seedless and easy-to-peel fruit is grown with care by their family of growers. A video series at cutiescitrus.com/our-story also helps bring the stories to life. “Making learning about food fun is good for the whole family,” Krieger said. “It encourages kids – and parents – to explore new foods and be more connected to where their food comes from. It’s truly a ‘healthy’ conversation to have together.”
Recipe courtesy of Ellie Krieger Servings: 1 1 Cuties clementine 9-10 thinly sliced strips red bell pepper, cut in 1-inch pieces 1/2 grape tomato 1 celery stick, cut to 3 inches 2 small leaves romaine lettuce 1 piece English cucumber, unpeeled, seeded and cut to 1 1/2 inches then thinly sliced Dip: 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt 1/2 teaspoon honey 1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice Peel clementine and separate sections almost all the way, leaving attached at the base. Place on plate with base down. Place piece of red bell pepper between each citrus section, and half tomato in center to form flower. Place celery and lettuce leaves underneath as stem and leaves. Arrange cucumber slices below to represent grass. In small bowl, stir together yogurt, honey and lemon juice. Serve dip in dish alongside flower, or in a mound underneath cucumber slices.

New Year, New Organic You The New Year is a great time to reflect on your life and think about what you can do to become happier and healthier. There are many resolutions you can make, but one that can benefit you, your family, your community and the planet is eating more organic food. It can also be easier than you think. To be USDA-Certified Organic, food must be grown without toxic synthetic pesticides and herbicides, genetically engineered ingredients (also called GMOs), antibiotics or artificial growth hormones. “Simply put, organic is better for you and the environment. When you’re eating organic foods, you’re keeping harmful chemicals and GMOs out of your body and some studies have shown that organic farming produces more nutrient-dense crops,” said Arjan Stephens, executive vice president, sales and marketing at Nature’s Path. “Organic farming supports a healthier planet by not adding chemicals to the air, water and soil, as well as keeping them away from you and future generations.” Going organic is simple; you can start small and feel good knowing that every time you choose organic it benefits you and the environment. Here are three ways to go organic this year: • Look Inside Your Pantry: Fresh fruits and vegetables may be the first thing that come to mind when you think about organic, but don’t forget about your pantry. Staples such as flour, sugar, vegetable oil, peanut butter and more can be swapped out for organic options and make it easier to have organic food as part of every meal. • Start with What You Eat Everyday: A good place to start is with the foods you consume every day. If you and your family start each morning with a bowl of cereal, try eating organic cereal like Nature's Path, which has an extensive line of cereals (as well as waffles, granola, oatmeal and granola bars) that are all USDA-Certified Organic, or try this tasty, organic recipe for an Oatmeal Latte. • Think Outside the Cart: You may think that organic food costs more, but you can find less expensive options by shopping at your local farmer’s market, comparing prices online, buying in bulk (which is better for the environment) and even growing some of your own food. Going organic can be easy, delicious and good for you and the planet. For more tips on going organic, visit blog.naturespath.com/.
Oatmeal Latte 2/3 cup water 1/3 cup vanilla soy milk 1/2 cup Nature’s Path Original Hot Oatmeal pinch of salt 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1-2 shots espresso, for topping 1/2 cup warm vanilla soy milk, for topping Nature’s Path Flax Plus Vanilla Almond Granola, for topping pinch of cinnamon, for topping In small saucepan, bring water and soy milk to simmer over medium-high heat. Add oats and salt. Turn heat to medium and cook until oatmeal reaches desired consistency. Stir in brown sugar and transfer to bowl or mug. Using steamer, milk frother or whisk, froth warm milk until foamy. Top oatmeal with espresso and frothed milk. Stir gently. Top with granola and cinnamon.
