You are not your diagnosis.
Health Care should be individualized and strategic.
Understanding where underlying processes have gone wrong can empower you to take charge of your health- regardless of diagnosis

In my practice I see many people who suffer from lyme disease and may go years without a proper diagnosis. The post above sheds some light into some of the issues around testing and why a diagnosis for lyme can be difficult to attain.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝘆𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲?

Please remember:

➡️ Lyme disease is a clinical diagnosis based on history and physical findings and appropriate laboratory testing is only used to support this diagnosis when indicated.
 ➡️ People can present with a negative test if tested too early, or if antibiotics have been used early in the course of the disease.

➡️ The “ two- tier” testing offered for Lyme disease may miss approximately 50% or more of people with lyme disease.
Consider laboratory testing that offer more comprehensive forms of testing such as : Elisa, IFA, Immunoblot to name a few. These tests achieve higher sensitivity as they are able to detect specific lyme antigens from several strains and species.

Mold
It’s complex and can seem overwhelming.
It was a topic that I tried to avoid and yet it has become something I talk about in my clinic almost EVERY SINGLE DAY.

When patients have unexplained illnesses or are not improving from chronic conditions, mold can be a usual suspect for root underlying causes.

For some mold exposure may not be problematic but for others it can be detrimental. Mold mycotoxins have the ability to, disrupt the immune system, cause leaky gut, cross the blood brain barrier, slow mitochondria, effect the autonomic system and much more.

If you are have unresolved chronic allergies, brain fog, fatigue and pain. If you have struggled with unresolved health issues despite your healthy lifestyle and diet you may want to assess for mold mycotoxins.

Individualized care is a huge part of naturopathic medicine

Two people can be diagnosed with the same disease such as IBS but how they got there can be very different!

Knowing where body imbalances occurred and where processes became dysregulated is key to healing. This is going to differ greatly from person to person

Have you ever seen a health care practitioner that looks at you individually and NOT just your diagnosis?

Drop me a note on your experience.

In a healthy body, the process of detoxification runs smoothly. But when we are toxic, the mechanism for detoxification in the liver gets sluggish, and certain toxins can remain active longer than we want or than our systems can handle. This makes us sick and impedes normal metabolism. It also causes fluid retention, bloat, puffiness, and more.
here are a few ways you can support your body’s natural ability to detoxify

💊 Many of my patients who have struggled with LONG TERM constipation find their bowel movement regulate when they begin to supplement with magnesium.

💊 Magnesium deficiency is common due to loss of magnesium in our soil and thus in our vegetable content. It is estimated that over 60% of people are deficient in magnesium

💊 I usually recommend magnesium bisgyclinate and increase to bowel tolerance. A typical dose can begin at 200mg but some people may need to go up to >1000mg to correct this deficiency.

💊 Have you ever tried magnesium for constipation. Drop me a p**p emoji if you have.

As a naturopath, I often am invited into people’s healing journey. And I feel the weight of the frustration when things don’t go the way we planned, when my patients experience setbacks or flares, or worsening pain.

The human mind wants to simplify the process to a formula, a protocol, a step-by-step guide but the reality is that it is not always that simple.

We expect healing to look like a formula A + B =C or to be given a step by step guide but so often this is not the case.

I have learned a few things from patients over the years:
* Mindset is everything
* Your body has an innate wisdom towards health
* Growth happens in ways you could never imagine

A comprehensive stool analysis is the best way to get a look into your gut microbiome. we usually do a test called GI360 by Doctors Data.

There are 3 important pieces of information that a comprehensive stool test analysis can help uncover.

Are there Pathogenic Microbes?
- This would be similar to a stool test run by a medical doctor. These types of pathogenic bacteria are serious may cause blood in your stool or excessive diarrhea. The difference is the profile here is a bit more comprehensive and we are also looking at 3x stool   Are the microbes diversified?
- We know that a key factor to a healthy gut micribiome is not just having A LOT of good bacteria but having a DIVERSE gut micribiome. The science here is not perfect but we do know that gut microbiome that s diversified meaning lots of different types of bacteria is protective against disease and healthy. The stool test will give a snap shot to show if you are lacking in this diversification or not.  Is there gut dysbiosis or overgrowth? -At low levels certain microbes are neither good nor bad but when there are too much of them they can become problematic.

Studies have shown that those born vaginally, breast fed, and with little antibiotic intervention were best set up to have a gut microbiome that was plentiful and diverse.

This type of gut microbiome can help aid against many childhood issues such as increased food intolerences , allergies, eczema, and asthma. It has also been linked to later on health conditions like diabetes and autoimmune conditions.

This isn’t to make you feel guilty if you or your child was delivered via C-section or not breastfed, but rather to give you information to better understand your health and areas where extra support may be needed. I am 0/3 on the questions asked above (!) and am able to set up realistic health outcomes because I know how this might impact my health.

If you grew up with a severely compromised gut microbiome, your health journey may be about having more good days than bad days versus health perfection.
