So far, I haven't been able to convince FB to change this page's name to Off the Grid Functional Health. Have just submitted a new request. Will see what happens...

After 30+ years of catching babies, I've curtailed my up-all-night midwifery life to concentrate on another passion: women's health. Not so much the PAP smears and mammograms, but women's issues viewed from a "functional," or "root cause" perspective. Recognizing inflammation as the common denominator (root cause) of most first-world illness, functional medicine examines environmental exposures, genetics, nutrient levels, and the all-important microbiome to find and calm inflammatory processes.

It's easy to blame a life stage like postpartum or perimenopause for *all* the things–belly fat, brain fog, aching joints, and runaway moods. And it's comforting to think the right hormone tweak will solve it all for the foreseeable future. But let's be real–magic bullets that treat symptoms instead of causes only make things better for a little while. Join me Off the Grid to solve mood, weight, digestive and hormone issues at their roots!

Big changes, folks! After a sabbatical Kay is recharged and opening office hours on both sides of the bridge. The amazing Dr. Joella Folk has been kind enough to offer space in her clinic—as has the marvelous Dr. Mandi Murtaugh (another essential kind of pelvic health specialist). Internet visits for some issues (think mood and hormone irregularities), are also available. As usual, schedule by calling OfficeGoddess Stacey @ 360-633-9146.

Good idea. I’ve always hated the thought of kids carrying their stuff around in garbage bags.
