3 things you should know about migraine headaches

1. In most people there is a food sensitivity that is contributing to them. There are also specific foods that affect the blood vessels in the head and can lead to a migraine

2. For women there is often a connection with where they are at in their menstrual cycle. It is common to have them more in the second half of the cycle or when you start your period.

3. Naturopathic treatments work beautifully to stop them at the root cause.

You don't have to live with them. Schedule a free 15 minute consult to find out how I can help put a stop to your migraines.

Are your hormones making you feel bad?

The truth is that hormones can make or break your day.

If you have any of these symptoms you may have hormonal imbalances that are keeping you from feeling your best.

-mood swings, including irritability and fatigue
-anxiety
-heavy bleeding
-painful periods
-poor sleep
-migraine headaches
-PMS
-fatigue
-breast tenderness
-low s*x drive
-bloating

I treat hormone issues everyday with my clients and I know for sure that it is not necessary to just live with them.

And more good news, they are easily treatable with natural medicines. Also, just so you know, you don’t have to take hormones to get your hormonal groove back.

Other hormone facts:

Did you know that stress has a major effect on how well you can balance your hormones? Certain stress hormones are made from your reproductive hormones. If your stress levels are high you will sacrifice s*x hormone balance for maintaining a stress response. Our stress response is always the highest priority because it is designed to push us into action to save our lives.

Hormone problems have many causes from poor liver function to inadequate nutrition.

Metabolism and detoxification of hormones is essential for creating a sustainable state balance. The liver, digestive tract and nervous system are all major organ systems that play a part in hormone detoxification.

There are a few key nutrients that you can be missing that may be at the root of your homone issues.

If your hormones are messing with you, we can help!

Is it your thyroid?

If you are not feeling well it is possible that your thyroid gland may be to blame. Thyroid malfunction is so common that 1 in 8 women will have thyroid disease in their lifetime.

The tricky part about hypothyroidism is that the blood tests that are used to diagnose it do not always catch it. You can have “normal” thyroid bloodwork and still have an unhappy thyroid gland.

An thorough and accurate diagnosis of hypothyroidism is done using a combination of symptoms and blood tests with heavy emphasis on symptoms. If someone has the classic symptom picture of hypothyroidism and their blood tests are in the normal range they should be treated for hypothyroidism.

So back to the question of “is your thyroid struggling and causing you to feel poorly”. The symptom list for hypothyroid is long. Every cell in the body depends on thyroid hormone for energy production.

A classic picture of hypothyroidism looks like this – you feel tired even after a good night’s sleep. You may feel heavy and draggy. You often feel cold, especially in your hands and feet, even in the summertime when everyone else is warm.

You are gaining weight without any changes in diet or exercise. You are losing your hair and it breaks easily. Your skin is very dry. You often have achy joints and constipation. Your cholesterol blood levels are elevated regardless of how great your diet is. Brain fog and inability to focus are common too.

Some of my client report that they just don’t feel like themselves in various ways when they have poor thyroid function.

If you have more than 2 of the symptoms above a sluggish thyroid may be the reason.

Getting a thorough evaluation that does not just rely on bloodwork is a good place to start. I do thyroid health assessments in my practice and often find that my client’s thyroid needs support. I have found that natural medicines are highly effective at treating thyroid disease.

If you are wondering about your thyroid health I’d invite you to schedule a new patient appointment with me here https://durangonaturalmedicine.com/book-appointment/ or call our office at 970 247-0737 and my office manager Janet will get you set up.

I also offer free 15 minute consults at which you can tell me what your health issues are and learn how I can help you improve your energy and support good thyroid function or identify other issues that are slowing you down.
