Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar disorders
This is brain health. Whether you carry a diagnosis or not, it is my job to identify health factors contributing to your symptoms. Nutrition, neurotransmitters, hormones, genetics, toxins, your environment, and your history all play a role in how the brain is wired and how it fires. Let's investigate and work together to promote balance so you can focus on you and not on your symptoms.
Sleep Disorders
If you are not sleeping, you are not healing. Sleep is arguably the single most important factor for health and longevity. Your sleep timeline may look different from another person's, but your need for sleep does not differ. I prioritize sleep for all of my patients, because if you are not sleeping - you are not healing.
Gastroenterology
"All disease starts in the gut" - Hippocrates, over 2000 years ago.
The gastrointestinal tract is your first line of defense against every pathogen you are exposed to in food and drink. It is responsible for eliminating waste and toxins. It is also responsible for breaking down and absorbing nutrients to keep the body strong and healthy. So what happens when one of these functions is impaired? Dysfunction. And what happens when dysfunction is not corrected? Disease. If you suspect nutritional deficiencies or chronic inflammation - I suspect gut dysfunction. I use comprehensive testing via blood and stool to determine specific causes and create personalized treatment.
Endocrinology
The endocrine system is a complex network of hormones that communicate with one another to create and maintain homeostasis. When external or internal disruption occurs, this delicate balance is shifted and a rollercoaster effect of hormone imbalance begins. I'll help you restore adrenal, thyroid, and sex hormone levels.
Autoimmunity
Autoimmunity happens when the body becomes confused and the immune system starts to attack normal tissue. Naturopathic care of autoimmune disease is focused on finding the cause of this dysfunction so that we can halt progression, reverse damage that has been done, and reduce relapses. What causes this original confusion? Infections, toxins, stress, diet, and several other factors are often involved in the development of chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction that causes autoimmunity. I focus on treating the individual, not the disease. This means care is highly individualized, focusing on healing damaged systems, and building resiliency.
