Welcoms home! I’m Dr. Aviva Romm and I: 🔺Gr Welcoms home! I’m Dr. Aviva Romm and I: 

🔺Grew up in a NYC housing project.
🔺Left a stressful home at 15 by getting into a college on scholarship. 
🔺Trusted the calling to be a midwife herbalist, to live a simple and natural life, to write books, to take care of women and children. 
🔺Returned to school at 37 for my post lab and to Yale med school at 39 as a mom of 4.
🔺Spent 7 very intense years in medical training while raising kids and still working a job to help pay the bills. 
🔺Kept following my bliss and trusting what was calling me. 
🔺Now this is home and I still keep ‘following my bliss” in my work and life.

It’s not too late!!! Believe me I had my share of detractors. Don’t let anyone tell you it is, or that your dream is too big or not possible. Move them to the sidelines! 

What you are seeking is also seeking you. Trust that. 

And when it’s hard don’t just give up.  Don’t think oh maybe this isn’t for me. Feel into how much you really want it, and if you do, keep going for that dream.

What’s your dream? Say it out loud in the comments. What dreams have you brought to life or are you moving toward right now?

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is great for digestion, Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is great for digestion, and adds benefits for supporting healthy, stable blood sugar!⁠
⁠
Beets are rich in fiber, which makes them a great food for a healthy gut. But that’s not all - beets are also known to be powerful for promoting vascular system health, and even helping to prevent high blood pressure. They’re also rich in iron, ladies!⁠
⁠
Not a fan of ACV shots but still want to use vinegar to stabilize your blood sugar? 📉 Never been a fan of beets but open to trying something new? OR love them and want one of my fave recipes?⁠
⁠
Say hello to quick baby beet pickles! It’s beet season! And I’ve got a fave recipe for you.⁠
⁠
Here’s what you’ll need:⁠
- A quart mason jar 🫙⁠
- 10-12 tender baby beets⁠
- 1/2 of a medium red onion⁠
- 6 cloves of whole fresh garlic 🧄⁠
- Sprigs of fresh dill leaves and fresh coriander, and/or any other spices you love 🪴⁠
- 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp sea salt⁠
- Enough apple cider vinegar to fill the jar (approximately 1.5 cups should do the trick)⁠
⁠
To make:⁠
- Preheat your oven to 400°F⁠
- Wrap the beets in foil - pro tip, adding 2 tbsps of water helps to speed up the cooking process⁠
- Place on a baking tray and roast for ~45 minutes or until they’re soft enough to be pierced easily with a fork⁠
- Drop the fully baked beets, while still piping hot, into a bowl of ice-cold water. With a gentle squeeze, the skin will come off easily⁠
- Compost the skins and slice the beets into thin sections.⁠
- Thinly slice the red onion⁠
- Layer the beets, onion, garlic, and herbs in the jar⁠
- Sprinkle the sea salt over the layers⁠
- “Fill “the jar with apple cider vinegar⁠
- Cover the jar, give it a good shake, and pop it in the fridge. It’ll be ready to eat in just 24 hours! 🕰️ They keep ~ 1 week in the fridge.⁠
⁠
Say hello to a delicious way of adding both beets and AVC into your diet! Enjoy with any meal and use the vinegar as part of a tangy salad dressing mixed with some olive oil.⁠
⁠
Cheers! Let me know if you try this and tag me in your stories. I would love to see your creation!

That’s how long @donnajeanwilde held a PLANK—at age 58. Yes, you read that right. ⁠
⁠
This kind of strength, grit, and joyful rebellion against age stereotypes? We’re here for it. ⁠
⁠
As @tamsenfadal said so perfectly: “Just more proof that age doesn’t mean a thing.” ⁠
⁠
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 to women rewriting the narrative on what’s possible. At every stage.⁠

HEY ALL! TRY THIS SQUAT CHALLENGE WITH ME AND DM M HEY ALL! TRY THIS SQUAT CHALLENGE WITH ME AND DM ME YOUR PIX AND VIDEOS...#thesquatchallenge⁠
⁠
Let's do this!  A 10-year study of women in midlife found that greater leg strength was linked to healthier cognitive aging. Women with more 'leg power' had: ⁠
⁠
🧠 Better memory⁠
🧠 More gray matter⁠
🧠 Less cognitive decline.⁠
⁠
Here's the deal: Using your large muscle groups increases circulation, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports mitochondrial function—all key for metabolism, energy, and mental clarity. ⁠
⁠
You can do 5-10 squats throughout the day - simply set your phone alarm and drop 'em like it's hot! Rinse and repeat 5 times and you're done! ⁠
⁠
Do them anytime in your cycle, do them in perimenopause and menopause, and yes - you can do them gently while pregnant, too - just hold onto the back of a chair to mind your balance.⁠
⁠
How I do it: 50 squats before bed each night! It's how I remember to do them and...Light strength training in the evening (including squats) has been shown to⁠
⁠
🔻Improve sleep⁠
🔻Downshift the nervous system,⁠
🔻Support deeper rest⁠
⁠
🏋🏼‍♀️ For more challenge and strength, use medium weights and do curls or presses while you squat! ⁠
⁠
It’s not about hitting 50 reps on day one.⁠
⁠
💪 It’s about consistency.⁠
💪 Start where you can. ⁠
💪 Build from there.⁠
⁠
This is s powerful, science-backed, and completely free! ⁠
⁠
WANT TO JOIN ME?  How many squats can you do RIGHT NOW? Yeah - that's right - give it a try right now and don't stop there! Let me know if you're joining me in the challenge - and DM me with post videos and pix of you that I can share in my stories!!!
