We’re incredibly proud to share something close to our hearts.

Halle Rife, daughter of our founder Dr. Andrew Rife, is traveling to rural Panama with Medical Global Brigades to provide free healthcare to communities with little to no access to care.

Her team will help run clinics offering medical care, physical therapy, dentistry, and essential medications for families who would otherwise go without.

Dr. Rife has covered all of Halle’s travel expenses so that every donation goes directly toward medical supplies and clinic operations.

If you feel moved to support this mission, even a small contribution makes a real impact.

Thank you for being part of a community that believes healthcare should be accessible to everyone.

🌿 A Milestone Worth Celebrating at Puget Sound Family Health 🌿

Today, April 20th, we are raising a glass of the finest tequila we could find to our incredible Dr. Andrew Rife, who is marking 25 years without sugar.

Twenty-five years of leading by example. Twenty-five years of walking the talk. And listen, it's 4/20, so we figure if there was EVER a day to pause, relax, and appreciate the good things in life, today is it.

A quarter of a century without sugar. We truly cannot think of a better reason to celebrate.

25 years, no sugar. Cheers!

Dr. Amanda Canty, ND is sharing important insight into the upcoming allergy season 🌿

Pollen is already ramping up, and this year is expected to be a tough one.

But the real issue is not just exposure.
It is how your immune system responds.

That is why one person has mild symptoms while another is dealing with fatigue, congestion, and brain fog in the same environment.

Allergies are not just a pollen problem, they are an immune response problem.

If symptoms are getting worse year after year, it may be time to look deeper than symptom relief.

Schedule with Dr. Canty for a personalized plan and read more here: https://mailchi.mp/pugetsoundfamilyhealth/your-allergies-are-getting-worse-heres-why-pollen-isnt-the-whole-story 🌿

Everyone is talking about Ozempic. But new research published in the Journal of Nutrition suggests your morning oats may already be working along similar pathways in your body.

Scientists at the University of Arizona and the University of Vienna tested five types of fiber side by side. Only one reduced body weight and fat: beta-glucan, the fiber found in oats and barley. It works by feeding gut bacteria that produce a compound called butyrate, which in turn triggers your body to release GLP-1, the same hormone Ozempic is designed to mimic.

As lead researcher Frank Duca put it, the benefits of dietary fiber work "through the release of GLP-1 and other gut peptides that regulate appetite and body weight."

We have been sharing our Immune Support Breakfast Cereal recipe with patients for decades. It is built around oats, oat bran, ground flaxseeds, and other whole ingredients that support digestion, stabilize blood sugar, and promote a healthy gut. Patients who eat it regularly four to five times a week report real, noticeable changes over time.

Food is medicine. It always has been.

Ask us for the recipe at your next visit, or send us a message and we will share it with you.

Many women reach a point where what used to work no longer does.

Energy changes. Sleep becomes unpredictable. Weight shifts. And it can feel frustrating, especially when you are still making thoughtful, healthy choices.

This is not a failure of discipline.

During perimenopause and menopause, hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol shift in ways that impact metabolism, muscle, fat storage, and more.

Your body is not broken. It is adapting.

Dr. Anne Wells shares more about what is actually happening and how to better understand these changes.
