🔬Dry blood analysis / oxidative stress testing. This is a visual measurement of progress before and after a treatment plan.
That dark dense ring indicates the liver has struggled to break down the byproducts of metabolism (acids, toxins, hormones, etc). These substances accumulate and become backed up into the lymphatic system.
Some treatment ideas for this patient may be liver/lymph drainage and castor oil packs, a series of constitutional hydrotherapy, fiber, antioxidants, B vitamins, probiotics, and minerals. Or maybe removing known factors blocking the liver pathways - alcohol, high stress, too much caffeine, lack of sleep.
Patients love seeing their blood shift after all the hard work they put into their health. Have we checked your blood lately? Ask me at the beginning of your appt so we can allot enough time at your next visit!

Wondering if estrogen dominance is behind your symptoms? Here’s what we can check to uncover the root cause:

✔️ Progesterone balance on days 19-21
✔️ Estrogen metabolites (2-OH, 4-OH, 16-OH)
✔️ Liver detox pathways (Phase I & II) and Liver function
✔️ Gut health markers (because estrogen clearance starts in the gut!)
✔️vitamin D, iron + thyroid Panel
✔️inflammation markers - ESR, CRP, urate
✔️fasting Insulin
✔️auto-immune markers

Testing isn't always necessary, but if you know that you need to see it to believe it, to make healthier decisions and changes, there are options! Testing can be tailored to your symptoms and health history.

We also offer in office bioenergetic testing. This helps to guide treatment choices specific for you.

Your body is always speaking to you. Symptoms are never random. These could all be signs of estrogen dominance, a hormone imbalance we see all the time in practice, after women have been told their hormones are "normal". Stay tuned for what we look for in hormone testing 🧪

🌿 Feeling bloated, moody, anxious, and off lately? It might be more than just stress - it could be estrogen dominance.

Even if your estrogen levels seem "normal", and imbalance between estrogen and progesterone can cause a range of symptoms like PMS, heavy periods, fatigue, anxiety, and more.

Ready to make sense of your hormones naturally? Let's get things moving! 🤎

RO water is currently the best way to filter toxins out of your drinking water, like lead, chlorine, arsenic, herbicides, pharmaceutical residue and others. The cost is reasonable, and set up is easy.

Recently a patient had been doing heavy metal drainage, but heavy metals kept reappearing in her assessment. She hadn't switched to RO bc it seemed like a big job to undertake. She decided to switch, and her heavy metal load finally decreased.

I highly recommend RO water..these toxins are making us fat, depleting our gut flora, disrupting our thyroid, s*x hormones and blocking our immune system.

It's not "do I have toxins?" anymore, it's "how much toxicity am I storing in my cells?"
