Have you been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?
This is an autoimmune disease.

I'll bet when you got that diagnosis, your provider/doctor either put you on thyroid medication or said that you'll need it soon, but right now they'll "just watch your numbers". But did they every try to figure out WHY you have high TPO antibodies in the first place?

Did you know that gut dysbiosis and weak digestion are significant contributors of Hashimoto's? Here at Nature's Way Healthcare we offer the best functional medicine tool that I know of.....GI MAPPING! This test can (amongst other things) tell us how well you are digesting your foods.

Intestinal Permeability ("Leaky Gut"): Dysbiosis can weaken the tight junctions in your intestinal lining. This allows undigested food particles, toxins, and bacterial fragments to enter your bloodstream. Your immune system reacts to these "invaders" with systemic inflammation, which can eventually trigger an autoimmune attack on the thyroid.
Molecular Mimicry: Certain "bad" bacteria in the gut have proteins that look very similar to your thyroid's TPO and thyroglobulin proteins. When the immune system creates antibodies to fight these bacteria, it may accidentally start attacking your thyroid tissue as well.

So make your appointment today and do GI MAPPING to see if your gut is driving your Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Depression is often rooted in systemic inflammation, gut dysbiosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, trauma, or disrupted circadian rhythms. ADHD may be tied to neuroinflammation, poor blood sugar control, or nutritional gaps like low magnesium, zinc, or omega-3s. And heart disease? It’s largely a food-borne illness, driven by a diet of ultra-processed, inflammatory, nutrient-poor calories. Think frozen food and restaurant foods.

That's old addage is true....You are what you eat.

Let thy food be thy medicine and they medicine be thy food.

There is usually no single root cause, but multiple root causes. And they are almost always connected by lifestyle, environment, and systems-level dysfunction.

If we want to reverse the chronic disease epidemic, mental and physical, we need to stop asking what drug treats this and start asking why the body lost balance in the first place. ❤️

The answer is in how we eat, move, sleep, connect, and live. It’s in our soil, our food system, our communities, our kitchens.

The next revolution in medicine will come not from the lab but from returning to the root.

Let's start with deep blood work and GI mapping to get a full picture of what's going on with you.

Come see us if you are wanting true Healthcare and healing.

We now have a sign. (Just have to clean the siding where the old wood was). :)

A big thank you to my handy husband, Eric Emerson for hanging it.

Do you ever struggle to know which name brand of vitamins or neutraceuticals to buy?

I now have an account with Fullscript. This website carries the top name brands for supplements. You can't purchase from this website UNLESS you use a link from a licensed provider who has an account. Think of it like a pharmacy, where you can't just go buy drugs unless it was prescribed to you. In sort of the same manner, you can't buy supplements from Fulllscript unless you use a provider link. You are welcome to use mine, and by doing so, you will get 10% off.

Here is the link in case anyone is interested in HIGH grade vitamins/neutraceuticals/supplements, etc.

Reach out if you have any questions,

Did you know that lower levels of H.Pylori won't show up on a standard breath test?

If you have H.Pylori (yes, even lower amounts, because we shouldn't have any at all) it neutralizes stomach acid. We NEED stomach acid otherwise bad bacteria will start thriving and become overgrown crowding out the "good bacteria", such as Akkermansia.

Do you have belching, bloating, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea eczema, psoriasis or been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease? If so, you might have H.Pylori (that is undetectable on standard tests).

We offer GI Mapping, which is a complete micro analysis of EVERYTHING in your gut.

Make an appointment today. This test just might be life changing for you!

Part of the chronic illness issue we have comes from what is sprayed on our foods.
Make sure you wash your fruits and veggies very well before consuming.

Grow as much at home as you can (and don't put pesticides on them).

Did you know that a great deal of issues and diseases originate in the gut? (FYI, the "gut" is not just the stomach...in fact, that term 'gut' is referring to the bowels and even more so, the large intestine/colon)

Scientific studies have now even proven that Parkinson's Disease (PD) begins in the gut years before any neurological symptoms manifest!! Yes, that's right. And the main thing that people with PD will say is that they always struggled with constipation.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUOUSLY BE CONSTIPATED!!

If you are constipated, you need FIBER, FIBER, FIBER! The best source is from plants (think fruits, veggies, greens), but if you're not getting enough there, then the next best thing is fiber supplementation. But not all supplements are equal (just remember that)

Here at Nature's Way Healthcare, we can help you. We offer GI Mapping. This is a complete micro assay of the good and bad microbes in your gut. We can evaluate those results and tell you exactly what you need and don't need. You may be familiar with "overgrowth" of a bad bacteria, but sometimes there's an "undergrowth" of good commensal bacteria.

We're here to help you. Make an appointment today.

PSA: 🥑 avocados can grow mold on the INSIDE of their skin. And that mold can transfer to the fruit itself. See how part of this avocado looks good enough to eat? Last August I cut open an avocado. It had dark spots in the fruit of it (keep in mind I failed to look at the inside of the skin. I just cut it open and tossed the skin without inspection).

Anyhow, we cut out the parts that were dark and ate the rest. About 8 hours later I had severe food poisoning and vomited 12 times and also had diarrhea.

Today I cut open this avocado and immediately threw away the whole thing.
And here's the thing, it was NOT squishy. It was still firm when I picked it up.

Just be careful with 🥑
