How do I know if I have allergies or just a cold?

There are several symptoms to consider to ensure that you have allergies and not a cold:

You are sneezing in rapid, repeated sequences
Your nose, ears and throat (especially the roof of your mouth) are itchy
You do not have a fever or achy muscles
Your mucosal secretions are clear and runny
Your symptoms are lasting longer than 10 days

If you’re still not convinced, naturopathic physicians – commonly referred to as naturopaths – can perform skin or blood tests to confirm whether you are allergic to something.

How soon will I notice or feel a difference?

It depends on what’s being addressed. Generally, you might notice the severity of your symptoms lessen within just a few days. Significant, lasting changes like being symptom or medication-free can take weeks to months, but they’re absolutely worth the commitment.

What tests will you run?

“Neuro-inflammation regulation

I use IV vitamins, nutrients and herbs

Restoring Neuro-Excitation (Glutamate) and Inhibition (GABA) Balance
HPA Axis Optimization

by addressing the hormones, thyroid and adrenal imbalance

Often I will run basic nutrient screening for Iron and Vitamin D levels and then , comprehensive dried urine hormones and neurotransmitter testing.”

The thyroid gland controls the metabolic rate of every single cell in the body and maintains body temperature. Without enough thyroid hormone, our body slows down. We feel tired and lethargic, gain weight, experience constipation, feel cold, and are prone to depression. The four main thyroid markers we screen for in our office include TSH, free T4, free T3, and Anti-TPO. Sometimes we can include a reverse T3 if necessary.

Ensuring that one has optimal thyroid hormone levels is critical to feeling well. There are many natural treatments, from desiccated thyroid to Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome & Protocol, to herbal-based treatments and lifestyle practices. Read more about Thyroid Health
