A post we're thrilled to share:
this week I got my first COVID test. [!!!]
I was around a lot of people last 2 weeks (social distanced & with mask but still I worry 🙂🤷🏻♀️) & two people in my circle had to attend a social distanced wedding — so I wanted to be even more certain before I returned near my high-risk mom.
It was a very easy process.
I called the doctor’s office.
They scheduled me for a virtual consultation later that day with a doctor. Doctor asked me questions about where I’ve been, my exposure, etc.
Virtual Appt took about 3-5 mins.
Heads up, there is a waiting room you wait in before doctor comes in— so be flexible.
Then they told me to come to the doctors office, I waited 10 mins in my car & got swabbed.
Two days later, got my results. Negative.
The doctor office I went to was Virginia Family Medicine, LLC.
My cousin’s practice in Vienna, VA (circle building)
You can try to book via them.
You call 703-712-0521 to make the appt.
Just letting you know of this option. ❤️
I know a lot of other places have been booked.

Fructose is a huge NO ❌ Especially for those with inflammatory bowel disease.
Studies suggest that high consumption of fructose could worsen disease in people with IBD! Whether or not you have IBD, keep your soda, candy, baked goods, and other processed foods intake to a minimum.

There may be a correlation between melatonin and covid-19 ‼️ While melatonin is an over-the-counter supplement that is known as a sleeping aid, some recent studies show that it’s a potential way to help prevent or treat COVID-19.
The study found that people who take melatonin are nearly 28% less likely to test positive for COVID.
