But my doctor said everything is normal!
As a healthcare provider with over thirty years of listening to women’s concerns, I’ve heard this hundreds of times. Other things my patients say: my thyroid is “just a little off”…Or I’ve been on synthroid forever…Or I have some stomach issues…Or hormonal issues…Or I am tired all the time…Or I’m depressed/anxious but I don’t want to take meds…
I meet so many women who just don’t feel well. They are always tired, have no energy left after doing all that they do, can’t sleep at night, have chronic aches and pains, mild anxiety or depression, irregular or heavy, painful periods, low libido, weight gain, hair loss, difficulty getting pregnant or making breastmilk. etc. The list can go on and on, but I think you get the idea. It is rare to come across anyone who says that she feels great. I don’t know about you, but this makes me sad. It has been my motivation to find a way to serve women in my community, hear their stories, and help guide their solutions.
Women often rely on a doctor’s visit to find out what is “wrong” and find no answer. They are disappointed and wonder if it’s all in their heads. Sometimes, the only solution that is offered to them is an antidepressant medication. For these women, I’d like to present an alternative.
In my practice, finding solutions may include laboratory testing (traditional and functional testing is available), personal nutritional counseling, sleep and relaxation guidance, herbal medicine, vitamin and supplement suggestions, and pharmaceuticals when appropriate. We use a functional/integrative medicine approach, looking for the root cause of the symptoms, rather than medications as a quick fix. This is a team approach, we work together towards wellness. I don’t assume to be able to “fix” you, rather guide you, professionally and with experienced care, towards your goals.
Using this integrative wellness model, many of the women I treat start to feel in control of their lives and get their energy back within a few weeks. Better sleep, less brain fog, decreased fatigue, regulated periods, clearer skin, weight loss- these are some of the results my clients are experiencing.
As a patient in my practice, be prepared to have unhurried, comprehensive attention, and be prepared to be heard. Your story, your symptoms, your experience and history will offer most of the clues to what is out of balance and what we can do together to improve your health.
