Ever wondered if you may be sensitive to a certain food or food group? A food sensitivity differs from what people commonly think of as a food allergy. A food allergy gives us the classic symptoms of anaphylaxis, or difficulty breathing, swelling and a rash.

To follow up the last post on seed cycling, check out this easy plant based recipe for flax pancakes!

This recipe offers a nutritious way to incorporate flax seed into your diet.

In my last post, I wrote about the benefits and uses of seed cycling. Flax is a seed used in the first half of the cycle to support regulated estrogen levels.

Interested in gentle bodywork or massage? Check out Dr. Hannah's most recent blog post discussing craniosacral therapy below or at her website https://www.drhannahbuffie.com/l/craniosacral-therapy/

Craniosacral therapy is a massage technique that focuses on movement of the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). CSF is the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. CSF helps provide the brain with nutrients for proper function and also transports waste away from the nervous system.

This technique is a gentle, hands on approach. There are various “holds” with the hands placed lightly on the head, neck, and spine.

The practitioner does not force movement within the system, as with deep tissue massage or a spinal adjustment.
The patient’s body guides the treatment with the goal to optimize flow of the CSF for increased nutrient intake by the brain and removal of waste.

Craniosacral therapy is also helpful for balancing the nervous system. Many people find the session relaxing with stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system.

The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for giving us an inner sense of calm and is commonly referred to as the time to rest and digest, compared to the fight or flight response of the sympathetic nervous system.

Treatments are typically 30-60 minutes with a portion of the visit focused on the head and neck and another portion focused on the back and spine.

Some patients report feeling a lot of sensation during the treatment, and others report not noticing much at all. Both are normal and does not mean the therapy is any more or less effective.

What conditions can CST be effective for?

- Head trauma/concussions

- ADD/ADHD

- Headaches and migraines

- Stress and tension related disorders

- Chronic neck and back pain

- TMJ

- Vertigo/dizziness

- Chronic pain

- Fibromyalgia

Dr. Hannah offers 30, 45 and 60 minute visits ranging from $49-$89 per session. If you are interested in learning more or would like to book an appointment, please reach out via phone (763) 477-4266 or email at drhannahbuffie@gmail.com

Now that you know who I am, I want to introduce some of the many therapies a Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD) can provide within the state of Minnesota.

A majority of what I offer within my practice is focused on dietary and lifestyle counseling, with the purpose of facilitating you with knowledge and natural resources that are required to create the best environment for your body to truly heal.
Beyond that, an NMD may use homeopathic medicine, herbal medicine, therapeutic bodywork, and supplement/nutraceutical prescriptions.

The pyramid below represents the perspective we as naturopathic doctors use to base treatments from. We establish a healthy foundation and work our way up the pyramid to help you heal, while aiming to prevent the use of synthetic symptom relief and high force interventions such as surgery.

If you are interested in trying these therapies for yourself, book an appointment today and we can get you started on the path towards optimizing your health and wellbeing!

Hello and welcome! First I would like to thank you for your interest and taking the time to stop by.
Second, I would like to introduce myself and briefly explain what I may offer you.

My name is Dr. Hannah Buffie and I am a naturopathic medical doctor (NMD).
I recently graduated from naturopathic medical school in Portland, Oregon and moved back to Rockford, Minnesota to offer natural and holistic medical alternatives to our community.

As a naturopathic doctor, instead of prescribing a treatment to cover a symptom, I investigate the origin as to why you are experiencing a symptom and utilize a natural and holistic approach to treat the cause.

Examples of some common ailments I treat include: digestive concerns, depression/anxiety, hormone imbalance in men and women, colds and flus, immune support, and food sensitivity testing.
Starting this week I will begin posting in depth about specific treatments available, stay tuned!

I am currently accepting new patients for a special of $135 for a 90 minute in person or tele-health session.
Call (763) 477-4266 and ask to schedule with Dr. Hannah.
Visit my website for more information on my practice and naturopathic medicine at www.drhannahbuffie.com.

I hope to hear from you soon!
