Have you experienced unexplained weight gain, heavy menses, dry skin and hair, facial puffiness, muscle aches or weakness, cold intolerance, brittle nails, fatigue, and constipation? Then you could be suffering from hypothyroid. Hypothyroid is experienced when the thyroid is low or underactive. It affects the whole body and should not be left untreated. Untreated hypothyroid can lead to high cholesterol, which in turn leaves you more prone to heart attack and stroke.
Hypothyroid can occur at any age. The causes of hypothyroid or any endocrine disorders may be related to any of the following: genetics, lifestyle, drugs, heavy metals, adrenal exhaustion, dental, environmental, electromagnetic and/or geopathic disturbance, scars, and emotional identities. You will not find such a list in the western medicine model, but in the naturopathic world when we are looking for a root cause, we have found that any of these can be the cornerstone to dis-ease. When you find the root cause and remove that stressor, then medication can be removed from the equation.
If you suspect hypothyroid or any endocrine disorder, it is best to be tested to see where the imbalance lies. Saliva test for hormones are the most sensitive. A comprehensive blood panel should be covered as well. A natural health practitioner can help you on your road to recovery. If you are on medication already and want to get off, your practitioner should work integratively with your doctor to provide you the best care. As you remove the stressor and feed your body the nutrients it needs, it will begin to heal and your medication dosage will go down. Your natural health practitioner’s goal should be to get you free of medication. It may not be possible in all cases, but it should always be the aim.
You can start your path to better health and healing by developing a healthy lifestyle that includes the reduction of caffeine, alcoholic beverages, eliminate sugary products and processed foods, stop smoking, decrease carbohydrate intake and increase vegetables, fruits in moderation, and organic meats. This change will not take place overnight, but as you go shopping you can begin to replace unhealthy products with desirable and healthy products. A wellness coach can help to keep you on your path with small manageable steps. Take that baby step today. Request a free consultation.

We understand that quality of life is important. It is our quest to help women stay healthier longer through lifestyle makeovers for disease prevention and even reversal in many cases. Our philosophy is as follows:
Basic Principles of Traditional Naturopathy-
In helping their clients, Traditional Naturopaths follow a number of basic principles. Among them are:
1·Do no harm-
Primum non nocere (first do no harm) is part of the Hippocratic oath. Traditional Naturopaths do not use harmful substances, such as drugs and pharmaceuticals, and do not rely on potentially dangerous procedures, such as surgery.
2· Recognize the healing power of nature-
Traditional Naturopaths understand that the body has an innate capacity for self-healing. They are equipped to educate their clients in setting up the proper external and internal environments so that healing will take place.
3· Find and eliminate the cause-
All “dis-ease” has some kind of cause. Self-healing can occur when that cause has been eliminated. Traditional Naturopaths help clients evaluate their lifestyles, identify the cause of their problems, and take corrective action.
3· Teach health-
Traditional Naturopaths teach their clients how to achieve and maintain good health. This empowers their clients and enables them to participate in the process of staying well.
4· Honor the total person-
A person is never simply a headache, or a backache, or a sore throat. Unless there has been an injury, seldom does any problem occur in isolation. Traditional Naturopaths understand that people are physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual beings, and that one “dis-ease” affects all areas of life.
5· Prevent “dis-ease”-
In teaching their clients how to achieve a state of balance, Traditional Naturopaths are helping them remain healthy into the future.
Our approach to wellness is a journey of self mastery that is based on the total being.
All that is required is your readiness and commitment. Once you are on your custom plan and are satisfied you can stop right there or continue the journey with spiritual growth.
