If you're dealing with ongoing heartburn, reflux, or conditions like eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and have been relying solely on proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or antacids for relief, it might be time to explore a more comprehensive approach.
At Restore Balance, we love digging into what’s really behind your symptoms—whether it’s diet, stress, or hidden infections. By addressing these elements, we aim to provide personalized care that promotes lasting well-being. 🍎🏃‍♀️
While PPIs can be effective for short-term relief, long-term use has been associated with certain risks:
• Low nutrient levels (magnesium, calcium, B12) 🥛
• Higher fracture risk (hips, wrists, spine) 🦴
• Kidney disease.
• Greater chance of infections like C. diff or pneumonia 🦠
• Stomach polyps or rebound acid when you stop 💥
We're here to support you in exploring holistic strategies that address the root causes of your symptoms. If you're interested in a more personalized approach to your digestive health, feel free to reach out and schedule a consultation with us.✨
Send us a message to chat about a personalized plan for your gut health! 📩🗓️
Note: Always consult with a healthcare professional before making changes to your medication or treatment plan.

Do you like quinoa? So many ways to prepare, great substitute for rice

Food swaps can be very effective. One is replacing grains in the diet with quinoa (which is also gluten-free) for better outcomes in cardiometabolic risk factors as has been shown in this recent clinical study. Quinoa is higher in protein than some other grains like barley, rice, and corn, and has 5 grams of fiber per cup. It's also rich in phytochemicals like polyphenols. Personally, I prefer the multi-colored variety so I get the spectrum of phytochemicals!

Dr. Dorothy Polahar can help

03/14/2025

Wins from this week: a few great reviews showing the positive experience people had at Restore Balance. Best thing I heard today from a patient: "I feel normal!!! It's been 7 years since I have not felt like this and I was losing hope I will ever be able to feel better".
The transformation we offer for patients is to restore their body back to balance, so they have the energy to live the lives they want. From improving gut symptoms, to balanced thyroid and hormones, to better energy. We are so excited to work with patients who are ready to feel better!
We would love if you can share your experience with our practice, so we are no longer the best kept secret!
