Here’s something most people don’t realize:
Healing isn’t about doing all the things — it’s about doing the right things in the right order.

So when a patient comes to me with migraines, here’s the 3-step process I follow every single time:

Step 1: Test, don’t guess.
We use targeted labs to look at nutrient status, food sensitivities, inflammation, hormones, and gut health. (Yes—your gut and hormones are deeply connected to what’s happening in your head!)

Step 2: Map out root causes.
We identify patterns—like blood sugar swings, stress response, sleep quality, or detox capacity—that could be making your brain more reactive.

Step 3: Build a realistic plan.
We layer in support that works with your body and life. This often includes nervous system regulation, nutrition upgrades, mineral repletion, and lifestyle shifts that actually last.

This process works because it’s personalized — never one-size-fits-all.

This was a game-changer for me, and it’s often where I start with patients too.

Because when you can actually see what’s happening in your gut — bacterial imbalances, parasites, inflammation, or low enzymes — you can stop guessing and start giving your body what it really needs.

Everyone’s gut is unique. But if you’re dealing with bloating, fatigue, irregular bowel habits, or food sensitivities… this might be your best first step too.

This is exactly what I help my patients do every day.

Because when you know how to support your brain with nutrition, nervous system care, and blood sugar balance, you can feel more focused, productive, and less overwhelmed.

I currently have space for 10 new patients this month.

🌿 CBD & Pain: What You Need to Know 🌿

CBD is a natural compound found in the h**p plant.

It won’t cause a high, but it does interact with your body’s endocannabinoid system—which plays a role in regulating pain, mood, and immune pathways.

✨ Early research (mostly in animals) suggests CBD may support a healthy inflammatory response and help the body modulate pain perception.
✨ Human studies are still limited and results are mixed. Some people report relief, while others notice little change.

If you’re curious about trying CBD, here are a few things to keep in mind:
👉 Quality and dose matter
👉 CBD can interact with medications
👉 It’s not a magic bullet, but it may be a helpful piece of a whole-body approach
💡 This is why it’s important to make these decisions with a practitioner who knows your health history and goals.

In our practice, we look at the root causes of pain and inflammation, often starting with labs, and then build a personalized plan.

🌿 Yes, pain can come from an injury or illness. 🌿

But here’s the twist: emotional stress, anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation can turn the volume of pain up.

It’s a two-way street:
😣 Pain fuels stress
😩 Stress amplifies pain

That’s why naturopathic medicine takes a whole-person approach by looking at:
✨ Stress response
✨ Sleep quality
✨ Nervous system support
✨ Inflammation, gut health & hormones

Pain is never just in your head—but your mind and body are deeply connected.

🌿 Short answer: Yes… BUT. 🌿

Natural pain relief doesn’t just come in a bottle.

Your body already has a built-in pain relief system powered by chemical messengers like endorphins, GABA, serotonin, and more.

You can naturally support them every day:
✨ Laughter → endorphins
✨ Omega-3s → endocannabinoids
✨ Hugs → oxytocin
✨ Yoga → GABA
✨ Sunshine → serotonin

And when it comes to root causes of pain, certain nutrients and botanicals can make a big difference:
🫚 Curcumin, ginger, omega-3s → support a healthy inflammatory response
🍵 Magnesium, chamomile → encourage muscle relaxation
🧘‍♀️ Reishi, ashwagandha → balance the stress response

Natural approaches aren’t a quick fix—
They’re a long-term strategy for those who are done with band-aid solutions.

🌿 Chronic pain isn’t just about wear and tear. 🌿

In naturopathic medicine, we dig deeper to uncover hidden drivers of pain, such as:
➡️ Neuroinflammation – Emotional stress and poor sleep can turn up the volume on pain signals in the brain.
➡️ Gut health – A disrupted gut lining can trigger inflammation throughout the body.
➡️ Hormone imbalance – Cortisol and progesterone help regulate pain, but stress and imbalance can make symptoms worse.

Once we uncover the why, we create a plan that supports your whole body: nervous system regulation, gut-healing foods, hormone-nourishing nutrients, and lifestyle strategies that help restore balance.

✨ If you’re ready for a root-cause, holistic approach to your pain—DM me or comment HEAL to get started.

🌿 Acute vs. Chronic Pain 🌿

Acute pain (like a sprained ankle or surgery) is short-term and protective.
It’s your body’s alarm system saying: “Pay attention—something needs care!”

And once healing happens, the pain goes away.
Chronic pain is different.

Migraines, fibromyalgia, arthritis, or joint pain are ongoing and complex.
They can last—or keep coming back—for months or even years.

That’s why chronic pain requires a root-cause, whole-body approach:
✔ Gut health
✔ Nervous system balance
✔ Blood sugar regulation
✔ Reducing toxin load
✔ Emotional healing
✔ Nutrient optimization

In naturopathic medicine, we ask:
✨ “What’s keeping your alarm system stuck on?” ✨

From there, we create a personalized plan to reduce inflammation, restore balance, and help your body heal from the inside out.

💚 If your pain feels lingering, looping, or hard to explain—comment HEAL to start your journey with us.
