EMPOWERING WOMEN TO TAKE CONTROL of their health and genetics

epigenetics

I integrate the science of epigenetics into women’s health and healing by helping people understand how their lifestyle, environment, and daily choices influence gene expression. Through personalized strategies that blend nutrition, stress management, yogic principles, and holistic practices, I empower women to optimize their genetic potential and break free from patterns of imbalance. This approach not only fosters immediate well-being, but also supports long-term health and vitality for future generations.

AFRO-INDIGINOUS WISDOM

I create a personalized approach to women’s health and healing by blending integrative, Ayurvedic, traditional, herbal, and Western medicine practices. This holistic model combines the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and herbalism with the precision of modern Western medicine to address the root causes of imbalance. By uniting these systems, I empower women to embrace their unique constitution and achieve harmony in mind, body, and spirit for sustainable health and vitality.

Medical astrology and human design

I blend spirituality, medical astrology, and human design to help women uncover personalized paths to healing and balance. By using medical astrology, I identify areas of susceptibility and energetic patterns in the body, while human design reveals each woman’s unique blueprint for decision-making and alignment. Together, these tools provide a holistic framework that empowers women to reconnect with their innate wisdom and create health strategies that honor their individuality.

It’s not SELFISH, it is SELF LESS to live a life that revolves around your own joy. Recognize the person that you show up as for others is an embodiment of all the ways you’ve chosen to show up for your self. Only from that place can you truly show up for others in a full and complete way. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

SKIN CARE WISDOM: New series that I may continue or not where I talk about the things I think about while I’m doing my skincare ritual. The fact that I do this in general while applying facial oils just reveals how nerdy I am at heart, but I honestly just feel like not enough people know things like this and then wonder why they’re not feeling well or baseline aren’t thriving. I talk about B2 supplementation here, but if you just wanted to up the amount of dairy, eggs, meat protein, leafy greens you eat, that’s also a vibe. Just a note for people in high power and cognitive functioning jobs - I still got deficient in residency even when I was doing all those things. Anyways, add some topics you want me to discuss below and maybe I’ll post a video with my thoughts 😏 🦋 #vitamins #integrativemedicine #holistichealth #supplements #functionalmedicine

Got this itch lately to shake things up and make some people uncomfortable… Thoughts??? 🧐 New essays on my Substack every Monday. Link in my bio.

REINTRODUCTION… Hi old loves and new loves, My name is Dr Alysia and I am a family medicine resident, herbalist, writer, and holistic women’s health advocate that is passionate about sharing and spreading the knowledge I have and using it to empower women. Here’s a couple of facts about me that will help you to get to know me a bit better… 1) I became a doctor to be able to merge western medicine with the traditional rituals and wisdom that are rooted in intuitive and holistic healing 2) I almost didn’t go to residency because of my disdain for formalized systems of oppression 3) Writing and dancing will forever be my first passions 4) I know way too much about health and wellness and one of my gifts is sharing that information in a way that motivates change 5) I am a trained yoga instructor and one day plan on leading holistic wellness retreats 6) I am deeply passionate about this planet and the nature of this world, so I consume and share brands that are aligned with my ethos 7) Black feminism is apart of my core and you’ll probably get some wisdom dropped on you every now and then 8) I am constantly cooking and creating recipes and herbal tinctures and rituals that support where I’m at now in my life and I love to share them I feel like as we age, we all come deeper into the versions of who we need to be in this world. Over the years, I’ve definitely been through many iterations but the version of self I’m feeling into in this stage feels the truest.

THIS ROUTINE CHANGED MY SKIN. I’m a sucker for luxurious and ethically made skin care products and my skin has been really suffering in this Northern California fall. Some of these products are staples that I use during all seasons and some I rotate in and out. If not washing your face in the morning with anything but water freaks you out and triggers your acne trauma, I get it. But honestly it really makes a difference not stripping your skins microbiome and instead tending to it and working with it. The key to glowy, smooth, healthy skin is being in tune with what your skin needs and supporting it from the inside out then using products to compliment that. I rarely wear make up anymore because I’ve invested so much time in learning my skin and just want to share all the things I’ve learned so you don’t have to! Products I used: 1. Marie Veronique Balancing Hypotonic @marieveronique_ 2. Monastery Hyaluronic Acid Serum @monasterymade 3. Monetary Attar 4. Living Libations All Seeing Eye Cream @livinglibationsofficial 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 #skincareroutine #naturalskincare #ethicalproducts #herbalremedies #skincarerituals #selfcare #selfcarepractice #holistichealthpractitioner

MOST PEOPLE DONT KNOW THIS…. I struggled with severe cystic acne when I was younger that was incredibly debilitating for me. When I started understanding my skin more I learned it was a combination of hormonal dysregulation, poor eating habits, toxins in skincare products, and just not being kind and gentle to my skin. I literally consumed so much sugar, my skin was actually just crying out for help. Now, I am completely obsessed with skincare and anyone who knows me knows this is one of my secret superpowers. I truly spend so much time learning and trying really beautiful and lovely products to use and creating rituals around how to properly take care of your skin. Skincare has always been a part of my self care practices because i will truly never be patient enough to learn how to do makeup. Feeling into posting more on this topic and just my own personal routines. @monasterymade Comment 🦋 if this resonates.

This full moon in Aries is super intense for my Capricorn and Cancer placements…. If you don’t know what this means basically I’m just going through it over here questioning all desicions I’ve ever made 🫠 lowkey fighting the urge to burn my life to the ground and start over but hey what’s new??

MAY YOU ENJOY THE WISE WORDS OF THE WOMEN THAT CAME BEFORE YOU AS YOU GRACE THE WORLD WITH NOT ONLY YOUR WISDOM BUT THEIRS TOO.
