Me, Myself, and I! My story....
🩷Vulnerability is my 2024 word. I absolutely LOVE my work as a Health Coach and am so grateful I get to help people become better versions of themselves. I am certainly being tested with my illness, but learning and growing my mindset has been so instrumental in my well-being and continues to keep me sane! (most days! 🤪)

In the fast-paced world we live in, it's easy to fall into the trap of considering rest as a luxury we can't afford. The constant hustle and bustle, coupled with societal pressures to keep pushing ourselves to the limit, can make us overlook one of the most crucial aspects of our overall well-being: rest. Let's take a moment to shift our perspective and truly understand why rest is not just a nice-to-have, but an absolute necessity for our physical, mental, and emotional health.

Physical Restoration: Our bodies are intricate systems that require proper maintenance to function optimally. Sleep, the ultimate form of rest, plays a vital role in allowing our bodies to repair and rejuvenate.

Mental Clarity: Just like a computer needs regular updates and restarts to perform at its best, our minds require downtime to process information and recharge.

Emotional Resilience: Lack of rest can take a toll on our emotional well-being. Sleep deprivation has been linked to increased irritability, mood swings, and heightened stress levels.

Overall Productivity: Counterintuitive as it may seem, overworking and neglecting rest can actually lead to a decrease in productivity. Pushing ourselves beyond our limits might result in short bursts of output, but in the long run, it leads to burnout, decreased efficiency, and even physical health issues.

In a world that glorifies busyness, it's essential to recognize that rest is not a sign of weakness, but a badge of wisdom. It's a deliberate choice to honor our bodies and minds, allowing them to function at their best. So, let's start reframing our perspective on rest. Let's celebrate it as an essential pillar of self-care, a fundamental right that empowers us to lead more vibrant, balanced lives

Meet Laura L... When she first saw me, she had a number of issues that were greatly impacting her quality of life. She struggled with chronic sleep deprivation, food sensitivities that made it difficult for her to enjoy meals, what she believed to be allergy-related problems and nasal blockage, persistent headaches, digestive troubles, and challenges with weight management.

Together, we focused on addressing the root cause of her problems by prioritizing her gut health. By implementing a personalized plan to restore her digestive system, we witnessed incredible improvements in her overall well-being.

See what she has to say:

“You worked to “fix my gut” and now I have almost no headaches, no digestive issues or discomfort (I had big problems for my whole life) and no more food sensitivities. I started sleeping soundly through the night.

We also improved my reaction to stress, internal, external and life in general. I learned how to meditate (work in progress) take care of myself, without the guilt I had previously associated with that, and to fully relax for the first time in my life.”

DO you want a doctor to look at the whole picture, and not just a few symptoms and put you on another medicine?

If so . . . it's time to book a FREE 20 minute ROOT CAUSE CALL with me.

I highly recommend! And, guess who you get coached by!!??? Yours truly! 😉😉

📨PRIVATE INVITATION (RSVP today)

Here's the down low.

This week, I’m welcoming 5 inspired women and men to work hand-in-hand with me to finally get to the root cause of their long-term health conditions

We’ll do so by solving the biggest issues faced by patients who just can’t get answers:

Despite seeing multiple specialists

And being on multiple medications

And trying all sorts of crazy diets

You’re going to get 3 things to make that happen:

A proven PLAN…

The right TOOLS to help you execute that plan, and…

Daily SUPPORT to ensure you are constantly moving forward able to accomplish more than you ever could on your own.

My clients, who follow this process, see pretty remarkable results…even when not much has worked.

Clients like Harlan W., who began feeling dizzy and passing out about 3 years before he came to see me. His cardiologist told him he had POTS and the tilt table confirmed it. But . . . there was no “cure.” He told me I was not like any doctor he had ever met. He wasn't a number. I listened to him, came up with a game plan, ran a ton of tests and found the issue. He said I treated the problem, not the symptoms.

Or Heather P, who says when she first came to see me, she was having what her primary doctor and allergist called unspecified urticaria. She also had been on medications for IBS for over a decade. We worked together and developed a plan for her, and it actually started with her gut. She was shocked that I was able to get her off medications that she’s been on for most of her life. She says her sleep and all her allergy symptoms have also improved since then!

Now, before you jump out of your seat, I need to let you know that I can’t help everyone.

This is exclusively for motivated patients who:

Are coachable

Welcome transparency

Want a more natural solution

Working together, I will help you:

End medical confusion

Gain control of your health

Improve or eradicate symptoms and cause remission

If that’s something you’d like, then comment “ROOT” below and I’ll send you a DM to see if this will be a good fit.

Look forward to working together (potentially),

Dr. T

PS. FYI - I only have 5 spots and after that July 1, 2023 I’ll be raising my prices by $ 500.

Meet Pat. Pat’s label was IBS and she has had it for years, it wasn’t new . . . but it was now “Irritating and painful” most days and Pat wasn’t a complainer.

Her Gastroenterologist who had been seeing her for years sent her to me. He too was skeptical that a functional approach would work, but even so, he had tried all sorts of treatments, even one which cost $480 A MONTH that only made her worse. So she booked a call.

But remember what I said about the symptoms? When we dived deep and built her Health Timeline it wasn’t just IBS, she also had

Headaches
Sleep problems
Dark circles under eyes
Itchy ears
Ringing in ears
Dry, itchy skin
IBS
Feeling of weakness or tiredness, decreased stamina
Food cravings and excessive weight
Fatigue and apathy
Seasonal mood issues

Pat was a perfect fit for my customized program and after working together for a few weeks, she had this amazing thing to say

“ Dr. Thompson provided me with a treatment plan after some very thorough testing, which helped me learn which foods are good for my body and which are the problems. After completing her program, ( including reintroducing most foods) I felt much better, and to my surprise, I lost weight. My IBS symptoms were much improved. Now I think more carefully about what I eat and how it will make me feel.

Pat ”

Pat’s strength, energy and fatigue all improved, even her seasonal depression was barely there. She was lighter, happier, she laughed easily. She was relaxed. Her skin was brighter. I saw a lot of changes in Pat.

For those looking for a change, take a look at the whole picture of health and life and really decide . . . is another pill the answer or is getting to the ROOT CAUSE the better solution.

DO you want a doctor to look at the whole picture, and not just a few symptoms and put you on another medicine?

Most people think that taking antibiotics will help them with their allergy/cold/flu/sinus symptoms and at least they "couldn't hurt."
This couldn't be further from the truth. In addition to increasing antibiotic resistance, you are also destroying your gut microbiome which can lead to a whole multitude of problems.

Here are some important facts to keep in mind:
100% of seasonal allergies do not require antibiotics ( I know it has been a long season.

Between 90-98% of sinusitis infections are viral and won't respond to antibiotics.
Only 5-10% of sore throat cases in adults are caused by strep throat, and most adults don't even need antibiotics for this!

Are you pretty sure that there’s some thing “auto immune“ going on but all your tests are normal?

April is Stress Awareness Month Even though the link between chronic stress and fatigue has been well established, fatigue still remains in the top 10 of all patient complaints during primary care visits. Fatigue can often be attributed to organic causes - physiologic stressors like hypothyroid, depression, or autoimmune diseases - but there are still many other individuals who are otherwise healthy and still exhibit symptoms associated with fatigue. But why?

With so many commonly prescribed medications like antidepressants, blood pressure meds, PPIs, and statins clearly identifying fatigue as a possible side effect, sometimes the treatment becomes the cause and fatigue surfaces once again at the top of the list of priorities. Join us this month to understand some of the root causes of fatigue and learn how hormones can play a role in both its development and treatment. Are you curious? Send us a message or set up a call.
