😓 Dealing with an acne breakout and not sure where to turn?

Acne can be triggered by various factors:

🧼Hormonal imbalances
🧼Poor gut health
🧼Stress
🧼Unhealthy diet
🧼Inadequate skincare routine

Start by cleansing your face regularly to prevent buildup of dead skin cells and bacteria in your pores. Don't forget to moisturize—dry skin can lead to increased oil production.

Making dietary adjustments can also help combat acne. Cut out gluten, dairy, junk foods, refined carbs, excess sugar, and alcohol. 🍞🙅 These changes can benefit your gut health, which is closely linked to skin health.

Skin issues can often be managed and even resolved with proper diet and lifestyle adjustments. ☎️ Contact us for guidance on getting your acne under control!

Still struggling with hypothyroid symptoms despite normal lab results?

😡Fatigue
😡Weight gain
😡Hair loss
😡Constipation
😡Depression
😡Cold hands and feet

If you've been told there's no further treatment for your symptoms, read on. 👇

Hypothyroidism affects millions, with many suffering despite thyroid hormone therapy. In the U.S., 90% of cases stem from Hashimoto's, an autoimmune disease attacking the thyroid gland. Medications maintain thyroid function but don't address the underlying autoimmune issue. 🤨

Comprehensive testing is crucial to understand your symptoms. Balancing the immune system is key to healing.

Tips to calm your immune system:

👉 Cut out gluten completely—studies link it to Hashimoto's flare-ups.
👉 Try an autoimmune diet—eliminate inflammatory foods like dairy, eggs, and grains.
👉 Heal your gut—leaky gut can worsen inflammation and autoimmune conditions.
👉 Stabilize blood sugar—essential for managing thyroid disorders.

These steps are foundational. For Hashimoto's and complex cases, personalized management may be necessary to prevent future autoimmune triggers.

Curious about Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism's causes? Contact us today! 📞

😰 Struggling with chronic anxiety that affects your daily life?

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), described by the National Institute of Mental Health, involves constant worry and fear—a prevalent issue in today's population.

Various dietary and lifestyle factors can worsen symptoms:

👉 Nutrient deficiencies
👉 Food intolerances (especially gluten)
👉 Caffeine, drugs, and alcohol
👉 Chronic stress
👉 Past trauma (PTSD)
👉 Environmental triggers

Conventional treatments like SSRIs may not suit everyone, sometimes worsening anxiety. 😟 Benzodiazepines, another common treatment, come with numerous side effects like fatigue and memory loss.

🌱 Natural remedies, such as ashwagandha, lavender oil, omega-3s, and kava, can effectively reduce anxiety. 🌿 Addressing underlying neurotransmitter and hormonal imbalances is key to successful treatment.

If chronic anxiety affects you, consider a natural approach tailored to your needs. 💗 Contact us for guidance specific to your situation.

🍆 Eggplants are a versatile and underrated veggie!

They're perfect in any dish and pack serious health benefits. According to USDA, eggplants are low in cholesterol and fat, high in water content, and loaded with nutrients like:

Vitamin C
Vitamin K
Magnesium
Phosphorus
Copper
Dietary fiber
Folic acid
Potassium
Manganese

The fiber aids digestion, lowers heart disease risk, and reduces ghrelin production (the hunger hormone). 😍 Eggplants also boast phytonutrients that may enhance cognitive function and mental health. They're part of the nightshade family, like tomatoes and bell peppers, which some people may be sensitive to, so keep that in mind. ⛔

😋 Start adding eggplants slowly to your diet and share your delicious recipes with us!

🙋‍♀️ Ever been told carbs are the enemy? Think again!

It's not just pasta and cheeseburgers—carbs include strawberries, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and oats, packed with nutrients! 🍔🍓

Recent research shows eating 3 servings of whole grains daily can slash heart disease risks like waist size and blood pressure. 😮 Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and oats are rich in fiber, B vitamins, and more, aiding in steady blood sugar and preventing diseases like diabetes and obesity.

👉 Balance is key! Fuel your body with what it needs while steering clear of complications.

👉 Want to add healthy grains to your diet? Start with 1/2 cup servings of gluten-free options:

Brown rice
Quinoa
Steel-cut oats
Wild rice
Millet
Tapioca

When you're trying to reduce the number of medications you take, starting on supplements might seem counterintuitive. 🙈

There's also a lot of negative press about supplements being "snake oil" or unnecessary if you're eating a healthy diet. 🐍 While this can be true for some, others have health conditions that could benefit significantly from natural, high-quality supplements.

It all comes down to what’s happening beneath the surface to cause your symptoms.

💊 Here are some reasons why supplements might be necessary alongside a healthy diet and lifestyle:

🍃Supporting natural functions as you age
🍃Managing high external stressors
🍃Dealing with a toxic environment and products
🍃Addressing genetic factors
🍃Compensating for low-quality foods

Most supplements consist of herbs and other natural compounds with strong scientific support, used globally throughout history. It’s important to thoroughly research what’s in your supplements and where they are sourced from, and to work with a qualified practitioner who conducts comprehensive, individualized testing.

📳 Ask our office how supplementation, paired with a customized care program, might be the right path for you!
