Is your LDL cholesterol high? Before you go on a statin check this out.
Has your doctor seen your cholesterol over 200 and want to put you on a statin? Before you jump right to a bandaid approach, ask for these markers that are more indicative of your risk for heart disease.
These are a few additional labs we suggest running to look at the bigger picture. We have said it before and we will say it again… LDL cholesterol is along for the ride. There is a greater reason for heart disease (and causing your cholesterol to raise) and that is inflammation (or age… which is normal).
Whether from infection, pain or blood sugar dys-regulation or just the process of aging, there is a purpose to LDL going up.
Suppressing LDL or making the numbers look pretty does not protect you from heart disease.
Ask your doctor for these labs to dig deeper. If they won’t run them.. come see us! We will run them for you!
Empower yourself!

Do you have thyroid struggles?
We love not only when we see wins on papers but it’s more important that our patients FEEL wins.
This patient was able to get off her thyroid meds after being on them for over 20 years! She put in the work and says she feels better than she did 20 years ago!
Working on correcting years of imbalance isn’t easy. It takes time, the right tools and addressing all areas of life.. mental, emotional, spiritual and physical.
There is not some big secret or magic pill that will help. If a practitioner is offering you this… run!
Sometimes the things that seem the easiest are the biggest struggle for people… good nutrition, proper movement, adequate sleep. Yes it also takes some investigating deeper but it’s all about putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
With patience, commitment and the belief that your body can heal, you too cannot only see the wins on paper but feel how awesome your God given body can be!
Choose a life filled with vitality! Are you ready?

Is something up with your digestion?
gallbladder as a focus. Here’s what you need to know…
*
*
*

The Gallbladder is a small but VERY important organ. It is the connecting link between the liver and small intestines. It’s involved in so many processes in the body….
It assimilates fat soluble vitamins like D, E and A.
It emulsifies fat which is huge for hormone production.
It is a huge part of the detoxification process.
It magnifies the concentration of bile from the liver which is important for digestion and pathogen destruction
The gallbladder is closely tied to the neurological and cardiovascular system.
Yet there are over 600,000 gallbladder removal procedures done per year in the US 😱.
It’s not enough to just remove this vital organ when there are so many signs prior that tell us we need to help our gallbladder.
We LOVE helping people KEEP their gallbladder. We also love helping those who had it removed that need specific help to keep things running on the right track.
We understand there are emergency situations, but don’t let it get to that point. Look for these symptoms and more and start giving this small and mighty organ some love!
A few of our go to’s:
💫 castor oil packs
💫 coffee enemas
💫 hydrochloric acid and bile salts
💫 FULL thyroid panel (not just tsh and T4)
Certainly we have a lot more tools, plus we are always working to get to the root causes in order to rebalance the body!
Believe your body has the ability to heal!
😎✌🏼🙏🏻

Are standard lab ranges enough?
Are your blood labs “within normal range” according to your doctor and you still feel like sh*t?!? Read on 👇🏼…
*
*
*
*
When you look at optimal ranges as well as look at how labs compare to one another you find clues. As subtle as they are at times they can give you a lot of information into the deeper rooted issues that need to be addressed.
Hell I even see markers that are well out of range according to western medicine and still nothing is addressed (or explained to our patients) by their doctor 🤔🤷🏼♀️. This happened with my own dad.
Years of study, research and blood chemistry courses have led us to help our patients optimize their health by addressing these subtleties.
Don’t settle for “it’s in your head or nothing to see here”. If your body is telling you something is off (aka symptoms)… something is.
Want to learn more about how your body is working and how to take a deep dive into your blood work? Drop or send us a 🩸. We can analyze your recent blood work or run a full panel with analyzation at a very reasonable c o s t!

Got Sun?
🌞Rise and shine, it’s not just about the golden hour glow! Basking in the early morning sunlight brings a plethora of benefits beyond aesthetic appeal.
First off, it’s a natural regulator for our body’s internal clock, aka the circadian rhythm, ensuring we stay in sync with the day-night cycle, promoting alertness during the day and restfulness at night.
Moreover, soaking in those morning rays triggers a cascade of biochemical reactions in our bodies, including the release of serotonin, the ‘feel-good’ neurotransmitter, elevating our mood and setting a positive tone for the day ahead.
But wait, there’s more! Let’s dive into the science: exposure to sunlight kickstarts mitochondrial function, those powerhouse organelles within our cells responsible for energy production.
Simply put, more sunlight means more energy for our cells, enhancing overall vitality and metabolism.
And the benefits don’t end there! By establishing a morning sunlight routine, you’re setting yourself up for a better night’s sleep. How? Well, exposure to natural light early in the day helps regulate melatonin production, the hormone responsible for sleep-wake cycles, ensuring that when night falls, you’re ready to drift off into a deep, rejuvenating slumber.
So next time you’re tempted to hit that snooze button and stay cocooned in darkness, remember the myriad benefits awaiting you outside. Step into the light, embrace the morning glow, and let nature work its magic on your mind, body, and soul. #MorningSunshine #HealthBenefits #mitochondria #sunlight

Got Parasites!
Didn’t you know … we don’t have parasites in the US?!?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Parasite cleansing can keep the immune system strong by removing a lot of toxins and pathogens and in return so many things can fall into line.
No parasites aren’t always the issue and I know it’s a trend in the natural health world, but they can certainly wreak havoc quite often. It’s evident by the number of people we see that feel better and even can then heal at a deeper level after doing a cleanse.
They don’t often show up on labs (they like@to hide behind biofilm), but there are other indicators that point us in their direction.
It’s a close running which I have more of, pictures of parasites …or my kids 🤷🏼♀️
