Dr. Angela Lucterhand

Dr. Angela Lucterhand 🩺Blending Holistic+Medical+Lifestyle to Help You Get Your Life Back 🌱 I am a doctor, professor, and a fan of loving life.

I fell into alternative medicine while trying to find my place in the healthcare system. After turning down medical school, joining the Peace Corps as a health educator, and realizing that I wanted to take a holistic approach, I attained my doctorate in chiropractic. Aside from family, friends, and my career, there are tons of things that I love doing which require me to be healthy. I have taken on the task of trying to educate as many people as possible of things they can do to KEEP themselves healthy. I preach whole foods, exercise, relaxation, and having fun; that’s life folks! I eat fairly strict Paleo and use Crossfit for my fitness fun. While at the office, I am working hard to get people off of their medications through nutrition, rehabilitating musculoskeletal injuries, and tuning up everybody’s nervous system through adjustments. There is nothing better than having an impact on a patient’s health because it has an effect on EVERY SINGLE person around them. Happy, healthy people are great to be around, and I pride myself on creating more!

I don’t know what else to say other than I have another segment on her cholesterol panels that I’ll share soon…

And if you’re wanting optimal ranges for standard labs AND a path out of this mess, I’m telling you the online course is an amazing option.

Yes, I’m bias because it took me a year to build it (many years ago now) but I’ve seen thousands of people at this point struggle with putting the puzzle together and know what to actually do about it.

Bc the answer can include nutrient interventions but the solution is not a bag of supplements! And this is coming from someone who formulated many professional brand supplements and trained doctors on how to use them! And if you know anyone who ever came to my physician lectures, they will tell you that I never, and I mean never, skipped over the lifestyle and environmental opportunities to move the needle bc they are the foundation for everything else to work.

I don’t care who you get help from but my hope is that my posts get you thinking and finding better solutions, whether that’s in my class or working with someone near you. I just want you to have options.

Stay tuned for more and if you’re interested in the online course, module 1 starts again in January and I’d love to have you.

Comment “class” and I’ll send you the link to register.

And yes, I’ll be exposing some of the obvious issues within her labs. I’ll cover how I went about giving her information to make progress WITHOUT worrying about drug interactions (bc trust me, most people online trying to sell you natural solutions aren’t considering the interactions supplements can have with meds🙅🏼‍♀️), how to minimize her pill fatigue (bc who wants 100 pills a day?!), and lifestyle things that can really start moving the needle.

You don’t need to have it all done in a day. Progress can be made even if your current situation seems dire.

And from a practitioner perspective, I also understand time constraints of office visits, patient initiative (or lack there of) that can result in defaulting to scripts, and that medications are truly necessary sometimes! Trust me, I do and there’s empathy on that side too and I have no idea whether those played a role in her current prescription list.

I don’t have enough room here so it’ll be in the newsletter.

But what I do know is that she’s still suffering enough to try another thing and have someone like me give her some opinions and suggestions on things she can do and conversations she can have with her doctor.

Idk about you but being on medication (that now you can’t just go off of and that has its own side effects) for every symptom, and to STILL have all those symptoms, breeds more frustration than a slow driver when I’m late.

Disclaimer: I am not her doctor and am not providing medical advice for this person. She is simply gathering information for her journey forward with her health team and will not make any changes without consulting her physician.

Comment “Deo” and I’ll send you the one that worked!

If you have teens, crunchy moms, PP ladies, or even menopausal women to buy for this Christmas, this is the perfect (yet) weird gift that they may be offended by but will absolutely love.

I actually bought the holiday gift set bc I love it so much and it was cheaper than buying 4 individually!

I don’t enjoy the blue tansy smell but love the eucalyptus one so much!

In honor of my yearly eye exam!

The entire body is connected and when it comes to tissue, inflammation, vasculature, nerves, etc…what they look like in one area can often translate to what they look like in other areas.

Have you ever had an eye doctor find something you didn’t even think they could know about?!

Let me just restate the fact that if there are people walking around with “the genes for a disease” but DON’T develop the disease, then the root cause is not the genes. I can also say that in a different way….if there are people who develop the disease and DON’T carry the genetic risk profile, then the issue isn’t the genes.

Yes, our genetic blueprint is helpful for us to determine risk but just like my autoimmune patients, there is no “cure” for Alzheimer’s.

Part of the reason there is no magical drug is because the pathophysiology is not that simple. It’s not about amyloid or the drugs targeting that would work. It’s multi factorial (just like autoimmunity).

It’s hard to get study funding for prevention and even harder to control for multiple variables…but there are studies that have been done and programs put in place that show even those of the highest genetic risk (APOE e4/e4) benefit from an approach that takes nutrition, physical activity, and cognitive training into account.

I’ll be sharing more as we go along (reels are so short and I wish I could fit an entire lecture in but I can’t) so be sure to follow along and sign up for my email newsletter in case we get disconnected here. 💓

I’ve been saying this forever but for anyone new around here, if you know what things are required for healthy genetic expression and cell function, then those things apply to ALL chronic disease including heart disease, cancer, dementia, autoimmunity. They are not that different at the end of the day. And the reason no drug ever cures them is because it’s not that simple. You need many things to be present (and some to be absent) for health and you can’t really make a lot of money on the things that have been proven to work: diet, movement, sleep, etc….

Keep hope. And I started an Alzheimer’s highlight in addition to the one on leaky brain just to try and capture things for those who may have missed prior content and need it. 💓
