So, Should I Fire All My Other Doctors?

Congratulations! You’ve decided to be proactive in your healthcare. I’m excited to help guide you in the best food, supplements, herbs and lifestyle choices to help you move closer to the life you (and I!) really believe you deserve. So, should you dump all your prescriptions and other healthcare providers now?

Short answer? No!

I practice integrative and functional medicine. The functional part means I work to uncover the root causes, and therefore the personalized methods of treatment, for your autoimmune condition. The integrative part means I work alongside the treatments you’re already receiving elsewhere. This includes chiropractic care, acupuncture, therapy (for physical and mental health), and, yes, medical treatment. If you’re taking antidepressants, thyroid medication, painkillers, etc., don’t toss them in the trash as soon as you sign up for my care!

Some women discover they don’t need as much of their prescriptions after a few months of functional medicine. Some find they’re able to replace NSAIDS with ginger and turmeric. Some experience a synergistic effect with their prescriptions when they add certain herbs and supplements. Whatever it is YOU need to live your fullest — that’s what you need!

Part of our process is helping you learn to listen to your body’s unique signals and messages. That might include weaning off some medications. It might mean adding others.

If you need some recommendations for other women’s healthcare providers, I’m happy to help out.
