🌿 Why I Test DHEA and Cortisol in ALL My Patients

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I pay close attention to DHEA and cortisol because they are key hormones that reflect how your body handles stress, energy, and overall hormonal balance.

Cortisol is your body’s primary stress hormone, regulating energy, inflammation, and how your body responds to daily challenges.

DHEA is a “youth” hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps balance cortisol, supports immune function, and influences mood, energy, and hormone production.

These two hormones are closely connected — if cortisol is chronically high or low, it can throw DHEA levels off, impacting everything from energy and mood to metabolism and immune health.

Testing them allows me to understand your unique hormonal pattern and create a personalized plan to restore balance, whether through lifestyle, nutrition, supplements, or stress-management strategies.

💚 Understanding your DHEA and cortisol is a critical part of addressing the root cause of fatigue, stress-related symptoms, hormonal imbalances, and more.

🌿 Candida Overgrowth: A Root Cause of Many Common Symptoms

I see intestinal Candida overgrowth frequently as an underlying contributor to a wide range of issues — from tongue pain, abdominal discomfort, and bloating to recurrent yeast infections or ringworm. Addressing Candida at its root can have a big impact on overall health.

Here are just a few of the supplements I use to help reduce intestinal Candida overgrowth — always tailored to the individual’s unique needs:

✨ Targeted Probiotics – to restore healthy gut flora
✨ Herbal Antifungals – like oregano, garlic, or berberine compounds
✨ Digestive Support – enzymes and nutrients to improve gut environment
✨ Gut-Healing Nutrients – to support the intestinal lining during treatment

Every recommendation is personalized, because Candida overgrowth looks different in each patient, and the approach must be safe and effective for their unique body.

If you struggle with unexplained digestive issues, fatigue, or recurrent fungal infections, addressing Candida at the root may be the key to lasting relief. 💚

🌿 Castor Oil Packs for Joint & Muscle Pain: Natural Relief at Home

A castor oil pack for sore joints or muscles can help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote healing. Unlike liver packs, these are applied directly to the affected area, helping to speed the removal of toxins and ease discomfort.

✨ Benefits of Castor Oil Packs for Joints & Muscles:

Reduces inflammation: Ricinoleic acid in castor oil has natural anti-inflammatory properties.

Enhances circulation: Increases blood flow to support healing.

Eases muscle tension: Relaxes tight or sore muscles.

Supports lymphatic drainage: Helps remove toxins and reduce swelling.

🛠 What You’ll Need:

Organic castor oil

Flannel or cotton cloth

Heating pad or hot water bottle

Towel

📋 How to Use:

Soak the cloth: Saturate the flannel with castor oil (not dripping).

Apply to the affected area: Lay the cloth directly on sore muscles or joints.

Cover (optional): Use a towel to prevent staining.

Add heat: Place a heating pad or hot water bottle on top to help the oil pe*****te.

Relax: Leave on for 30–60 minutes, resting while the pack works.

Clean up: Wipe the area with a damp towel, or rub in excess oil (safe, but may stain).

📅 Frequency:
Use 3–4 times per week for general support, or daily for chronic discomfort.

💡 No time for heat?

Rub castor oil on the area nightly before bed.

Let it absorb while you sleep (it’s sticky, so protect bedding). This still provides some therapeutic benefit.

🌿 Castor Oil Packs: A Simple Way to Support Your Liver Naturally

Did you know that castor oil packs placed over the liver can help support detoxification, reduce inflammation, and promote lymphatic drainage? The gentle combination of heat and castor oil enhances circulation, stimulates bile flow, and helps your liver process and eliminate toxins more efficiently.

They can also calm the nervous system — supporting relaxation and indirectly benefiting liver function. Many people use them to help relieve bloating, hormonal imbalances, and inflammation as part of a natural detox routine.

✨ How to Do a Castor Oil Pack:

Gather your materials:

Organic castor oil

Flannel or cotton cloth (to cover the liver area)

Towel (to prevent staining)

Heating pad or hot water bottle

Old clothes or towel to protect your bedding

Set up and apply:

Find a comfortable place to lie down and protect the area with an old towel.

Saturate the cloth with castor oil (not dripping) and place it over the liver area — the right side of your abdomen just below the ribs.

Cover with a thin towel and place your heating pad or hot water bottle on top.

Relax for 30–60 minutes while the warmth helps the oil absorb.

Aftercare:

Wipe the area clean or gently rub in the excess oil.

Store your cloth in a sealed bag — it can be reused several times before washing.

📅 Frequency:
Use 3–4 times per week for general detox support, or daily for up to 2 weeks if doing more intensive liver support. Six weeks total is usually sufficient before taking a break.

🌿 A day in the life of naturopathic medicine — real patients, real healing.

Every day in my practice, I have the privilege of helping people uncover the root cause of their symptoms and truly understand their bodies on a deeper level. Here’s what a typical day might look like:

🤱 Appointment 1: Post-Partum Anxiety
A new mom came in struggling with ongoing anxiety since giving birth.
Through comprehensive testing, we discovered estrogen dominance and reactive hypoglycemia, both contributing to her symptoms.
We focused on improving liver health to enhance hormone clearance — addressing the root cause instead of just masking the anxiety.

🔥 Appointment 2: GERD (Acid Reflux)
A 48-year-old male came in for help after years of reflux and long-term PPI (acid blocker) use.
We reviewed his upper endoscopy results, designed a PPI tapering plan with medical approval, and included demulcent herbs, a food sensitivity–based elimination plan, and nutrient repletion to restore what was lost from 10+ years of medication use.

💭 Appointment 3: Panic Disorder
During a homeopathic consultation, we explored the specifics of her panic episodes — differentiating between respiratory, cardiac, and GI-driven panic, identifying triggers, and uncovering unique emotional patterns.
By understanding the full picture, we selected a personalized homeopathic remedy to calm the mind and body from within.

🌸 Appointment 4: Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)
We discussed strategies for flare prevention and provided a detailed protocol with targeted nutrients and topical support to reduce flare intensity and duration — empowering the patient to manage their health naturally and confidently.

🦋 Appointment 5: Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Comprehensive thyroid labs revealed that her ongoing fatigue and weight changes weren’t from nutrient deficiencies, but from impaired brain–thyroid communication (HPA-axis dysfunction).
We initiated a naturopathic protocol to strengthen the Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Thyroid (HPT) Axis and restore balance.

🌼 Appointment 6: HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
A patient recently diagnosed with HPV was told to “come back in a year” to see if it cleared on its own.
Instead of waiting, we started a natural antiviral and immune-support protocol to help her body actively clear the virus — empowering her to take charge of her health today, not a year from now.

💚 Every appointment tells a story of root cause discovery, empowerment, and healing.
If you’re ready to understand your body and create a plan tailored uniquely to you, I’d love to help you get started.

🌿 Ever wonder what a day in my practice looks like?

Here’s a glimpse into the kind of work I do every day as a Naturopathic Doctor — helping patients uncover the root cause and heal naturally through science-based, personalized care. 💚

🧬 Appointment 1: Male Fertility Optimization
A 27-year-old recently married male came in looking to optimize his fertility and overall health.
We ran comprehensive blood work and found elevated uric acid, mildly low testosterone, and nutrient deficiencies.
Recommendations included targeted supplements, dietary changes, and lifestyle support — and we’ll be re-testing to track his progress scientifically and holistically.

🌿 Appointment 2: SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) Follow-Up
We reviewed her comprehensive stool analysis and identified which bacteria were contributing to her bloating and digestive discomfort.
A personalized herbal protocol was prescribed, along with a specific diet and motility-enhancing supplements to prevent constipation and recurrence.

💉 Appointment 3: Type 2 Diabetes Management
Today we celebrated a huge win! My patient, under medical supervision, was able to discontinue Metformin after significant improvements in blood sugar control per our naturopathic recommendations.
We introduced new self-care strategies and started a 2-week continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to fine-tune her blood sugar response in real time.

🌸 Appointment 4: Rosacea Relief
A 42-year-old female came in for follow-up after persistent skin flare-ups.
Through gut testing, we discovered intestinal yeast overgrowth as the root cause.
We began a targeted yeast protocol and supportive diet plan to calm inflammation from the inside out.

🔥 Appointment 5: Post-Menopausal Hot Flashes
A 55-year-old woman, 3 years post-menopause, was still experiencing 3–4 intense hot flashes daily despite synthetic hormone therapy.
We transitioned her to bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and added key nutrients and herbs based on her lab and hormone urine results — aiming for balance and comfort, naturally.

💚 Every day, I’m grateful to help patients transform their health, find answers, and feel truly heard.

If you’re ready to explore root-cause, evidence-based natural medicine, I’d love to help you too.
