March is a powerful reminder that colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when caught early. Screening does not always have to start with invasive procedures. Options like FIT, Cologuard, and Shield offer accessible, at home ways to begin paying attention to your health and are often covered by insurance.

From a naturopathic perspective, prevention is not just about testing. It is about understanding the full picture. Pairing screening tools with a metabolic assessment can provide deeper insight into how lifestyle, inflammation, nutrition, and overall physiology may be influencing risk over time.

This is where integrative care matters. It is not about replacing conventional screening, but about expanding the conversation to include root causes, early patterns, and long term health optimization.

Early awareness creates more options. Prevention is not a single step, it is a strategy built over time.

Light therapy continues to be studied for its role in supporting neurological health, especially in the context of age related cognitive changes. Rather than acting as a standalone solution, it is best understood as a supportive modality that helps create conditions for healthier brain and sleep function.

One of the most meaningful areas of support is circadian rhythm regulation. Individuals experiencing cognitive decline often struggle with disrupted sleep patterns, which can impact both quality of life and caregiver burden. Regular exposure to appropriate light may help reinforce the body’s internal clock, supporting longer and more restorative sleep cycles.

As part of an integrative approach, light therapy can be combined with lifestyle strategies such as sleep hygiene, nutrition, and daily routine to support overall well being in a gentle and sustainable way.

Today we are advocating for the future of naturopathic medicine and the patients we serve.

We are meeting with legislators to help educate on the role of naturopathic doctors in integrative healthcare, the importance of access to care, and why this work matters for our communities.

Advocacy is an extension of patient care. It is about ensuring that individuals have access to a broader, more comprehensive approach to health that includes prevention, lifestyle medicine, and whole person support.

Days like today help move the profession forward through education, collaboration, and meaningful conversation with decision makers.

Grateful to stand alongside dedicated doctors working to create lasting impact for the future of healthcare.

Lobby Day is a day spent meeting with legislators and their staff in Sacramento informing them about naturopathic medicine, the importance of our work to Californians, and issues we need their support on. The more we have in attendance, the stronger our voice. Legislators want to understand how much the issue impacts their constituents.

Typically, we are meeting with staff versus the Legislator themselves. The staff’s job is to understand who we are and what we need and bring this information back to the Legislator for their consideration. When we are running a bill, this may be helping the Legislator determine if they should vote yes or no!

Women’s History Month is also an opportunity to reflect on the history of medical research and how it has shaped healthcare today.

For many years, clinical studies and drug trials primarily used male participants. Researchers often excluded women because hormonal cycles were viewed as variables that complicated study results.

As a result, much of our early medical data on medications, symptoms, and treatment responses was based largely on male physiology.

We now know that women can experience different symptoms, drug metabolism, immune responses, and disease progression. These differences influence how conditions present and how treatments work.

Modern medicine is increasingly recognizing the importance of s*x specific research and personalized care.

Integrative and naturopathic approaches also emphasize individualized treatment plans that account for hormonal health, metabolic differences, and life stage transitions.

Recognizing these historical gaps helps move healthcare forward toward more inclusive, accurate, and effective care for women today and in the future.

REPOST• Unspoken concerns often stop people from considering hyperbaric therapy. Questions about noise levels, comfort, and what it actually feels like inside a chamber are very common.

Today’s home hyperbaric chambers are intentionally designed to reduce stress and make the experience approachable. The materials are flexible, the pressurization is gradual, and the interior space allows users to relax rather than feel restricted.

Many individuals build sessions into quiet parts of their day, using the time to unplug, read, or simply rest. For some, the chamber becomes a dedicated space for recovery and personal downtime.

Understanding how modern chambers are built can make the decision feel far less intimidating and help people approach HBOT with confidence and clarity.

Idk if that makes sense ive got some brain fog going on today. I'm sleepy.

Light therapy works because specific wavelengths of light interact with molecules in the body that respond to light energy. Research has shown that red and near infrared wavelengths can influence nitric oxide signaling, which supports healthy blood flow and circulation.

Better circulation can help tissues receive oxygen and nutrients needed for recovery, repair, and normal cellular activity. This is one reason red and near infrared light therapy are used in integrative and naturopathic medicine to support skin health, muscle recovery, and overall tissue wellness.

Modern LED based systems deliver these wavelengths safely across larger areas of the body, allowing gentle and consistent exposure that supports natural physiological processes.

REPOST • As women approach perimenopause and menopause, changes in metabolism, sleep patterns, and inflammatory balance can affect overall vitality. Supporting circulation, cellular energy production, and recovery capacity during these transitions can help women maintain resilience, cognitive clarity, and physical wellbeing as their bodies adapt over time.

March is Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day reminds us of the importance of advocating for women’s health across every stage of life.

Cancers that commonly affect women, including breast, ovarian, and cervical cancers, continue to impact millions globally. While screening, early detection, and advances in medical treatment have improved outcomes, many women benefit from a more comprehensive approach to care.

Integrative medicine focuses on supporting the whole person during prevention, treatment, and recovery. This may include personalized nutrition strategies, botanical medicine, stress management, metabolic health support, and therapies that help maintain strength and resilience during conventional cancer care.

Naturopathic and integrative practitioners often work alongside conventional oncologists and other healthcare providers to help patients maintain quality of life, support immune function, and address the physical and emotional demands of cancer treatment.

Women deserve healthcare that listens, supports, and empowers them. This month is a reminder to prioritize screening, advocate for your health, and support the women in your life.

Many traditional herbal practices use gentle botanical support to help the body during the premenstrual phase of the cycle. These herbs have long histories in naturopathic and herbal traditions for supporting comfort, nourishment, and emotional balance.

Lemon balm is known for its calming and mood supporting properties. It may help reduce irritability, restlessness, and nervous tension that sometimes appear during the premenstrual phase. Its mild relaxing effect on the nervous system can also support better sleep.

Nettle is highly valued for its mineral content, especially iron, calcium, and magnesium. These nutrients help nourish the body during menstruation and can support energy levels, reduce fatigue, and help replenish minerals lost during the cycle.

Red raspberry leaf is traditionally used as a uterine tonic in herbal medicine. It may help support healthy uterine muscle tone and is often used to ease menstrual discomfort and support a balanced cycle.

Rose petals offer gentle emotional and nervous system support. In herbal traditions they are used to uplift mood, ease emotional tension, and support the heart during hormonal fluctuations.

Botanical blends that include these herbs are often enjoyed as teas or infusions during the days leading up to menstruation to support balance and comfort in a natural way.

As with any herbal support, it is always best to consult a qualified healthcare practitioner if you have underlying health conditions or are pregnant.

Spring is when pollinators return to work. Bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, and hummingbirds play a vital role in the health of our ecosystems and food supply.

Many fruits, vegetables, nuts, and herbs depend on pollination to grow.

Supporting pollinators helps protect biodiversity and strengthens the natural systems that sustain both people and wildlife.

Simple actions at home can make a real impact. Planting native flowers provides nectar and pollen. Reducing pesticide use protects delicate insect populations.

Allowing small areas of your yard to remain natural gives pollinators safe habitat. Even a shallow dish of water with stones can provide a safe place for insects to drink.

Healthy environments support healthy communities. Protecting pollinators is one small way we can care for the natural world that cares for us.
