Happy National Women Physicians Day!

Thankful for the incredibly talented and skilled female colleagues who continue to help make a tremendous difference in their patient’s life every single day.

And last but not least (please do not forget this one!) ……..MYCOTOXINS.

Even if gastroparesis is being driven by one of the other 3 listed here by Modern Endocrine, what is driving THAT thing? 🤔
If I had a dollar every case where it wasn’t mold until it turned out to be something else that down the line was actually caused by mold, well let’s just say I’d have a lot of dollars.

It’s not always mold, but more times than not (by a wide margin), it is.

Gastroparesis isn’t just "slow digestion," but often a sign of deeper imbalances like vagus nerve dysfunction, gut inflammation, or blood sugar dysregulation.

Root-cause triggers we explore include:
⚡ Nerve signaling disruptions, which are often linked to diabetes or chronic stress
🦠 Gut microbiome imbalances such as SIBO and dysbiosis
🔋 Mitochondrial dysfunction (low cellular energy = weak motility)

Hope exists! With targeted testing and personalized care, including diet, prokinetics, and stress support, symptoms can improve. Comment BELLY, and I'll send you a link!

• it's okay to use your turn signal when you're changing lanes
• it's okay to use your turn signal when you're taking an exit
• it's okay to use your turn signal when you plan on turning (can even be done sooner than 2 seconds before you're about to turn)
• you have a turn signal. in your vehicle. two of them in fact.
• you are so brave and beautiful and smart and can do it. using your turn signal

Look at you go! Don’t stop now!

I've been saying this for oh, I don't know, 15 years?

Please, for the love of all that is holy, do not believe this is "new" or "Breaking News!"

Yes, water is wet. Yes, the Epstein files story is probably distracting us from a much bigger issue.

Yes, Ozzy Osbourne truly was the prince of darkness.

Yes, there is a reason for your symptoms even if "your labs are normal"

New research reveals the appendix isn't useless; it stores beneficial bacteria, contains more neurons than the spinal cord, and independently coordinates immunity. Removal may weaken gut-brain communication and microbiome resilience.

Sending love to...

Dads who are working through challenges.
Those with hopes of being a dad one day.
Those who have lost their father.

Anyone who needs extra support this Father's Day.

Life isn’t fair.

Expecting it to be is why many stay miserable.

Unfair is part of the game.

Unjust is when the rules violate human dignity.

Know the difference.

Act accordingly.

What was the last time I said “I love you” to yourself?

Naturopathic medicine isn't just about treating symptoms—it's about caring for the WHOLE you: physical, behavioral, and spiritual well-being.

It's a commitment to comprehensive, holistic healthcare that looks beyond isolated symptoms to address all of YOU!

Celebrating ! 🌿✨

Naturopathic medicine isn't just about treating symptoms—it's about caring for the WHOLE you: physical, behavioral, and spiritual well-being. Our tagline reflects our commitment to comprehensive, holistic healthcare that looks beyond isolated symptoms to address your entire being.

Come along with us as we explore the biggest issues facing the field: licensure, education and training, expanding the ND workforce, and how to connect patients with the most qualified doctors!

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) follow a rigorous education path similar to MDs and DOs (osteopathic doctors). They begin with a science-based bachelor’s degree and pre-med coursework.🧠 Then they attend a 4-year accredited naturopathic medical school, completing over 4,100 hours of training.

Along with a standard medical curriculum, NDs receive specialized training in clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, acupuncture, physical medicine, and counseling. Hands-on clinical experience prepares them to diagnose and treat patients as primary care providers.

After graduation, NDs must pass the NPLEX licensing exams.📚 Currently, 26 jurisdictions (23 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) offer licensure or certification for NDs.

Residency opportunities are expanding, with many NDs completing one to two-year primary care or specialty programs. NDs have a pivotal role in advancing integrative health care, working alongside all types of practitioners.

if being harsh with yourself was the medicine you needed, wouldn’t you be well by now?
