Dr. Angela Lucterhand 🩺Blending Holistic+Medical+Lifestyle to Help You Get Your Life Back 🌱 I am a doctor, professor, and a fan of loving life.

I fell into alternative medicine while trying to find my place in the healthcare system. After turning down medical school, joining the Peace Corps as a health educator, and realizing that I wanted to take a holistic approach, I attained my doctorate in chiropractic. Aside from family, friends, and my career, there are tons of things that I love doing which require me to be healthy. I have taken on the task of trying to educate as many people as possible of things they can do to KEEP themselves healthy. I preach whole foods, exercise, relaxation, and having fun; that’s life folks! I eat fairly strict Paleo and use Crossfit for my fitness fun. While at the office, I am working hard to get people off of their medications through nutrition, rehabilitating musculoskeletal injuries, and tuning up everybody’s nervous system through adjustments. There is nothing better than having an impact on a patient’s health because it has an effect on EVERY SINGLE person around them. Happy, healthy people are great to be around, and I pride myself on creating more!

And yes, you want to take your iron with vitamin C to enhance absorption but also away from coffee or dairy or tea.

But with his inflammation and immune activation markers alongside this deficiency, it’s a common pattern of Celiac and it needs to be considered.

Hope that helps!

Antihistamines are only trying to address the allergic response AFTER histamine and inflammatory mediators have already been released.

Natural solutions like quercetin help stabilize the immune cell (mast cell) that holds the histamine so it doesn’t release it in the first place.

This is one instance where studies actually use the natural plant compound as the benchmark for creating as potent of an outcome with the drug.

With allergies…

Welcome to another episode of ā€œI wish I had knownā€ā€¦.PPIs will cause nutrient absorption issues.

Not to mention the reason people go on them is typically symptoms that started bc they actually had LOW stomach acid!

You’re welcome!

If you’re in a PPI, make sure someone is monitoring deficiencies.

You may not know that in my career pause staying at home with a kiddo, I didn’t want more posts reaching strangers who I’d never meet, never speak to, never know they were there…

I wanted more connection. I wanted to know there were humans…real humans. And guess what bots can’t do? Write me a letter, send me a card, or include me in their family christmas card list.

So that’s exactly what I asked the people following my journey to do. Include me. As a human. Not as an authority in their health journey or a reality TV personality that you watch from afar.

And you have no idea how many letters I’ve received since doing this, how many faces I can now say I’ve seen, how many inner thoughts I’ve gotten to read. This letter, I won’t divulge what was in it, but maybe at some point I will. For now, I need to go write a letter back. šŸ’“

This is why I’m here.

So, in my opinion, it’s worth getting your levels tested along the way and consider a multivitamin option to help fill nutrient gaps.

Comment ā€œmultiā€ and I’ll send you a link to the ā€œessentials packā€ that I have used for years with patients that includes 2 multivitamin options: 1 with iron and 1 without iron because you do NOT want to supplement iron unless you need it.

Comment ā€œdetoxā€ and I’ll send you more info on the Detox Done Right Program, because I’m not a fan of what’s being sold to you out there on the internet…the approach is all wrong. šŸ’“

Comment ā€œflightā€ and I’ll send you flight support products and tips that now include some calming support that I never needed before 🤪
Anyway, we are prepping for more travel with the kiddo and there are a few things to consider for flights:
1. They’re dehydrating bc cabin air has such low humidity.
2. Your microbiome diversity goes down in flight.
3. L-theanine can be support for flight anxiety…and try to avoid caffeine and unstable blood sugar.
4. Radiation is unavoidable in flight so consider repair support.

Now that it’s spring, I see toddler outdoor activities on my horizon!

I’m going to do this for sure! Things I’ve done in the past that are also great are:
-nature wand where you take a bifurcated stick and wrap double sided tape around it and slap things you find on it until it’s full and beautiful.
-dandelion painting- use dandelions as paint stamps
-collect items like walnuts and sticks and leaves and stones and flowers and throw them in a creek…he loves to see how different things go further or float or splash.
-nature treasure hunt: make a list of things to find in nature and go on a walk and check them off as you find them: flower, bird, tree, butterfly, squirrel, etc

Cheers to nature for making screenfree living possible 🤪

I support early detection.

I’m happy that they’re realizing risk isn’t just about LDL…that’s too simplistic for human physiology.

But I fear the new levels for LDL based on those deemed high risk will mean we see a lot more statin usage…and that doesn’t come without a cost to your physiology and your brain.

This is also a reminder that you can be considered low risk for a decade and now considered high risk based on new guidelines even if your numbers were exactly the same!

We evolve as we learn new things, and that is normal and expected. However, the biological principles for health have not changed for humans since we existed…and asking better whole human questions gets us answers closer to the ā€œhealthyā€ point.

Just a heads up for anyone who may get labs drawn this year on the new things that may come up!
