Your mental health is just as important as your physical health — and caring for both creates true healing.

World Mental Health Day reminds us that mind and body are deeply connected. Stress, trauma, and emotional struggles don’t just stay in our thoughts — they can show up as fatigue, pain, digestive upset, or chronic illness.

Naturopathic medicine honors this whole-person connection by supporting nervous system regulation, balancing hormones, calming inflammation, and teaching tools for resilience. Pairing these approaches with prayer, community, and self-compassion can help you feel more grounded and whole.

You are not alone in your struggles. Reaching out for support — whether from a doctor, counselor, pastor, or loved one — is a powerful act of healing.

✨ Today, take one step for your mental health. That could mean journaling, going for a walk, booking a consult, or simply allowing yourself to rest. What step will you take today?

ADHD is not just behavior — it’s often a signal something deeper is out of balance.

As a naturopath, Dr. Lara sees ADHD as more than a collection of symptoms. It’s a portrait of how diet, nutrient status, gut health, sleep patterns, stress, and even our environment shape our ability to focus, rest, and respond well. There are botanical and lifestyle tools that can support attention, calm impulsivity, and bring greater emotional rhythm. Herbs like Bacopa, Valerian, Lemon Balm, and Ginkgo can help. But none of this is one-size-fits-all — a personalized plan is key.

Want help building your ADHD support plan? Book a consult with Dr. Lara and we’ll work together to find what works for your body and your story.

Did you know health literacy can impact your health more than income or education?

Many people assume health problems are only tied to money, schooling, or access to care — but research shows low health literacy can be an even stronger risk factor. Stress, shame, and medical jargon all play a role in why patients struggle to understand their care, leading to more hospital visits, delays in treatment, and even medication errors.
The truth is, even highly educated people can misunderstand medical terms — especially under stress. And many patients never speak up, quietly confused, which makes healing harder. Clear, compassionate communication is the foundation of better health outcomes.

✨ October is Health Literacy Month, let’s shine a light on the importance of understanding our own health. What’s one medical term or concept you wish was explained more simply?

1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime — but early awareness and prevention can save lives.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder of the importance of knowing your body, understanding your risks, and prioritizing prevention. Beyond screenings and medical care, naturopathic medicine can play a powerful role in supporting overall health and reducing risk factors.
Nutrition, stress management, hormone balance, and lifestyle choices all impact breast health. Supporting your immune system, lowering inflammation, and creating space for healing can make a difference in how your body responds over time.
Whether you’re focused on prevention, navigating a diagnosis, or walking with a loved one through their journey, remember: you are not alone, and proactive care matters.

✨ This month, take one step to support your breast health — schedule your annual exam, nourish your body with whole foods, or book a consult with Dr. Lara to explore holistic approaches that strengthen your health from the inside out.

❤️ WORLD HEART DAY

Your heart works tirelessly for you — it deserves care every single day.

The good news? God has given us foods and herbs that nourish and protect it naturally.

Here are some of Dr. Lara’s favorites:
🧄 Garlic – lowers blood pressure and supports circulation.
🍓 Berries – loaded with antioxidants that protect blood vessels.
🐟 Salmon (and other fatty fish) – rich in omega-3s to reduce inflammation.
🥬 Dark leafy greens – packed with magnesium, potassium, and nutrients that strengthen your heart.
🍅 Tomatoes – a natural source of lycopene for heart protection.
🥑 Avocados – healthy fats that help balance cholesterol.
🌰 Walnuts & almonds – plant-based omega-3s and minerals for cardiovascular health.
🌿 Hawthorn berry – a traditional herbal ally for circulation and overall heart strength.

Simple shifts in your meals can have a profound impact on your heart health, and every small choice adds up.

🌿 Acupuncture & body therapies
🌿 Mind-body connection & stress support

When we address pain from multiple angles — physically, emotionally, and nutritionally — healing becomes possible.

September is Pain Awareness Month — a reminder that living with pain doesn’t have to be your “normal.” Naturopathic medicine takes a whole-body approach, helping you uncover the root cause and find lasting relief.

What does that look like in practice? It starts with calming inflammation through targeted nutrition and herbs — food truly can be medicine. Therapies like acupuncture restore balance, improve circulation, and ease tension naturally. Gentle movement and physical therapy help rebuild strength without aggravating the body. And one of the most overlooked pieces? Nervous system regulation. When stress is high and your body is in fight-or-flight mode, pain often worsens — but learning to reset your nervous system can bring profound relief.

Pain doesn’t define you — and it doesn’t have to control your life. Naturopathic care offers a path toward healing that supports the body, mind, and spirit.

✨ Curious about which approach might be right for you? Schedule a consult with Dr. Lara to explore your options.
