Dysport is a competitor product to Botox. I offer Dysport because it lasts longer, results are seen faster, and I find that it gives a more natural look compared to other options. Why do we offer Dysport at Swan Integrative? I often get surprised looks when people hear that we do some aesthetics here (and that I give myself my own Dysport injections!). The truth is, there’s no shame in wanting to look your best. The use of products like Dysport has skyrocketed in the past decade, and even more so since the pandemic began (thanks, Zoom!). A few years …

Supplement Spotlight: Magnesium Most of the professional supplement brands on Fullscript have a portfolio of magnesium products to choose from, making it easy to find a good fit for your needs.  One of my faves is Magnesium Chelate Powder from Designs for Health. This is a powdered form of magnesium glycinate that is great for everyday use and easy on the belly. The powder form makes it easy to adjust your dose up or down as needed, and the taste is reminiscent of orange creamsicles from childhood, I swear! Get your magnesium here!

Supplement Spotlight: Cortisol Manager Of all the supplements that Integrative Therapeutics makes, Cortisol Manager is historically their top seller, which says a LOT about the state of our adrenal glands in the US!  A blend of ashwagandha, magnesium, L-theanine (a calming amino acid), phosphatidylserine (a natural cortisol reducer), and magnolia, it is designed to support healthy cortisol levels. It is typically taken at night and can be helpful for people who struggle with sleep due to presumed or documented elevated pm cortisol. As with any supplement, consult with your practitioner before starting to be sure there aren’t medication or supplement interactions …

Supplement Spotlight: Vitamin D If you are someone who needs to supplement with some Vitamin D, finding a good quality product has been a challenge in the past few months. Vitamin D supplements have been right up there with toilet paper and paper towels on the list of sold-out items in stores and online.  Fortunately, many of the supplement companies are now restocked and most make several doses and formulations of Vitamin D. Instead of highlighting one specific product, here’s a list of a few of my favorites. Liquid Preparations D3 Liquid (Metagenics) – each drop = 1000iu of D3 Vitamin …

This Month’s Special: Immucore from Metagenics Every winter, patients ask me what they can take to help keep them healthy through cold and flu season.  One of my favorite immune-boosting secret weapons is medicinal mushrooms. Mushrooms have been used for centuries to enhance immune function, and there are plenty of clinical studies to back them up.  ImmuCore from Metagenics combines medicinal mushrooms (Reishi, Shiitake, Turkey Tail, Oyster, Cordyceps and Maitake) with vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc to provide broad spectrum immune support.  Take one daily through the winter. Also great for travel and times of stress when your immune …

This Month’s Special: Hemp Oil from Metagenics If you are looking to try “CBD,” it’s super important to know that you are getting a high quality product that complies with FDA regulations, contains what it promises, and is clear of contaminants. Very few products on the market live up to these qualifications, and I encourage you to read my blog to learn more about the tricky legalities of buying and selling CBD. Hemp Oil from Metagenics is my go-to for CBD and other phytocannabinoids. It’s pure, non-GMO, and organic. Metagenics is totally transparent when it comes to ingredients, contaminants, and …
