To perform a proper nutritional: I need to ask you a lot of questions. For example, I will need to know how much stress you have in your life, any anxiety you might be experiencing, if you are depressed or a variety of other factors. So, the first step is to get a very thorough history of YOU. This is when you get to tell me all about everything going on with you. Once I have that data, then I start doing my tests. I like to start with a blood chemistry, but other tests may be needed such as saliva, stool and urine. The lab tests that I do are more specific than any tests you have probably ever had--the tests I run are not routinely done with MD's, so a lot of body conditions are missed! After gathering a history from you and the laboratory work, I then start my homeopathic energy testing. This is a very unique way of finding out what is going on with you. We will find where your specific disturbances are in your body and then personalize a program with just the right remedies needed for YOU. The lab work we do is called "Functional" testing. That means that were are not just looking for "disease" states in your values. For instance, when you get a blood chemistry done with another Dr., you will see your number in one column and then the "normal" ranges are in the column next to it. Let's use glucose as an example: Let's say your glucose level comes back as "72". You look and see that the lab has "65-99" as the "normal" values. With your number of "72"--you may think that is normal. Well, I use a set of "Functional" numbers. My "functional" range is 84-99! So, if you are "72", you would definitely show as Hypoglycemic--meaning Low Blood Sugar! Another Dr. would totally miss that you are having this problem. You are already having symptoms at this point, so let's start fixing it right away! Why wait until you are in the disease range? Why wait until you are diagnosed with a "Disease". My goal is to handle you NOW. This is PREVENTATIVE medicine. I will do a very thorough blood and other lab analysis on you and base you program on getting you FUNCTIONING! I love to educate you on the best way to care for your body. The miracles I see every day makes my "job" never seem like a job. To me, it is so inspiring that I can't wait until the next person comes in for care! Sometimes, I am so charged up at the end of the day I just can't stop talking about it to my husband. I am going to make a list of those conditions that I have helped. And I don't just mean "helped". Many of these conditions are completely CURED! Allergies - Changing from Pharmaceutical drugs to Natural Meds Immune System problems - Pre-menopause, Menopausal symptoms Headaches - Menstrual irregularities Chronic Pain - Ovarian cysts, Fibroids, Endometriosis Depression - Weight Loss Anxiety - Hormone imbalances Respiratory conditions - Neck and Back Pain Sinusitis - Fibromyalgia Constipation/Diarrhea - Shoulder, arm, hips, knees, ankles, wrists, elbows Crohns, Celiacs, IBS, etc. And don't forget this: I also help women with fertility issues, do chiropractic and nutrition during the pregnancy and do specialized adjusting and care DURING labor and then care for your newborns, babies and children using chiropractic and nutrition. I love helping women get their hormones into balance. I have a special technique to get you back on track. Menopause, Peri-menopause and any other glandular imbalances are what I like to fix. Many psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, moodiness, OCD, and more have been erroneously diagnosed as your problems, when in fact, it is just an imbalance in hormones. We can balance these naturally and get you back on track without the use of synthetic hormones or dangerous drugs. Headaches, menstrual cramps, hot flashes, endometriosis, fibroids, cysts, overweight, bloating, etc. are all symptoms that I can help you with. It is also a passion of mine to help parents and children who have been put on psychotropic drugs such as Ritalin and anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs, etc. I find that the schools and MD's are to quick to try and cover up a problem and are missing the real underlying problem with the body. And then there are the toxic vaccinations that are being forced on the parents!! Many behavioral problems can be fixed with natural remedies and it is too bad that I don't get to see these people before being told that there is no other choice. Such labels as ADD/ADHD are just that a "label" and there is soooooo much we can do before using these poisonous drugs. Ask me! I have answers!
