FAQ

What kinds of digestive issues can you help with?

Our testing and treatment program is for start-to-finish digestive health, so it addresses a range of conditions connected with the digestive system, including IBS, food sensitivities, food allergies, bacterial overgrowth, and dysbiosis.

If a patient comes to you seeking mental health assistance, what will their experience be like?

“They will be heard and acknowledged. We will look for potential nutrient deficiencies or toxicities and other barriers that can contribute to poor mental health.”

What and Where is the Thyroid Gland?

Your thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ in the front of your neck. The thyroid plays an important role in your body’s energy and metabolism. The thyroid gland takes up trace minerals, such as iodine, selenium and tyrosine, and uses these to make thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones circulate through the liver, brain and several other organs in the body as part of the endocrine system. If the thyroid is not functioning properly, you can develop health problems.

If you have the following health concerns – It could be your Thyroid:

  • Fatigue
  • Anxiety or Panic Attacks
  • Depression
  • Constipation
  • Unexplained weight gain
  • Generalized swelling
  • Puffy eyes & face
  • Muscle aches or pain
  • Muscle weakness
  • Joint pain, joint stiffness or swelling
  • Hair loss
  • Low sex drive
  • Asthma & allergies
  • Migraines
  • Recurrent miscarriage / Infertility
  • Lack of ovulation
  • PMS
  • Decreased memory
  • Irritability
  • Decreased Concentration or ”Brain Fog”
  • Dry Skin, Dry Hair
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • High cholesterol
  • Low heart rate
  • Insomnia
  • Hives
  • Loss of outer 1/3 of eyebrows
Insulin

Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas to move glucose from your blood stream (after a meal) into your cells. If your life is stressful, especially with a diet high in refined carbohydrates and without regular vigorous exercise, high blood sugar and insulin elevation can create problems over time. The cells in the body become more resistant to insulin to avoid the toxicity of excess glucose. This can leave too much glucose in your blood and too little in your cells. To maintain balance, your body converts and stores the excess blood sugar as fat – usually around your abdomen. Paradoxically, less glucose into your cells means increased hunger and carbohydrate cravings. Adrenal dysfunction is often implicated here too.
