My goal is to unravel how you feel to get to the root cause.
Many “symptoms”, or complaints, are signals that the body is not functioning in an optimal manner.
-
THYROID ISSUES
The thyroid gland is one of the most important glands. It is responsible for creating hormones that influence. metabolism and temperature, stimulate heart muscle, influence cellular activity, as well as increasing the use of fats, carbohydrates, protein, and cholesterol.
-
AUTO IMMUNE ISSUES
Almost 70% of body immunity is located in the gut. Gut associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) line the gut wall and inflammation can impact the immune function of the body. Chronic inflammation in the gut can allow toxins to “leak” out of the gut wall and attack other parts of the body.

CHRONIC DISEASE
Chronic diseases have surpassed acute care and more people are living with a chronic disease that affects their quality of life. According to the CDC, 6 out of 10 Americans live with a chronic disease (i.e.: arthritis, lupus, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, reflux).

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
The study of genetics has become more important in helping to unravel chronic disease and the prevention of some illnesses. You may not have heard of nutrigenetics but it is the study of how nutrition can control how our genes are expressed, or regulated.
-
GENETIC TESTS & DNA EVALUATION
Genetics is the scientific study of genes and how certain qualities are passed from parents to offspring. Specific genes have been studied for years for targeted diseases but only in the past 20 years has technology expanded the understanding of genetics and the relationship to disease and health.

FATIGUE
Fatigue is a very general term and can be related to many chronic diseases. The body has such an innate ability to initiate processes to help protect the body. Every cell or organ of the body has a physiological resilience, which is the immediate ability to handle stressors, and then there is the long-term capacity of the body to handle stressors.
-
STRESS & ADRENAL FUNCTION
Stress is a one of the most underappreciated aspects of triggering disease. Stress is defined as any disturbance –extreme cold or heat, psychological stress, sleep deprivation, work overload, physical trauma, as well as toxic exposure- that can trigger the stress response. Stress consists of three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. The body has an amazing ability to “kick in” and prevent damage from the effects of stress but this can only occur to a point.

WILSON'S TEMPERATURE SYNDROME (WTS)
The most common symptoms are low body temperature (less than 98.6), fatigue, weight changes, anxiety, cold, insomnia, and constipation. WTS is reversible using T3 therapy. Successful treatment does involve determining what caused the body to try and conserve energy. The T3 therapy is a sustained release T3 and this is a compounded medication.
