Dr. Angela Lucterhand

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!

I’ve tried my best over the past month or so to capture what I could into organized folder and gift guides for my people. (That’s you šŸ˜‰)

If I’m being honest, I’m kinda over the purchasing frenzy already and I’ve had a ā€œgiftsā€ highlight up for years full of ideas that are more like concert tickets, massage gift cards, comedy shows, pottery classes, etc but I know many of you still do tangible goods.

Feel free to pop in my stories for those links.

Love you…and off to hike! āœŒšŸ»

So many of you asked about clean mascara options from my last post that I thought it was revisiting this breakdown I did a few years ago. They’re still my faves today regardless of trying LOTS of brands along the way!

Comment ā€œmascaraā€ and I’ll send you the folder of links to all my low tox faves (deo, nail polish, perfume, mascara, etc)

I don’t have a lot of people to shop for so, I often use the discounts to buy things I need!

Comment ā€œmattressā€ and I’m happy to share the info to the mattress I buy because after spending way too much time researching options, wanting the best I could get for the most affordable price, and knowing hormones and development are so important in younger kids, I know the struggle with that decision!

My clinical opinion on this is that if you’re taking vitamin D supplements, you should be testing your levels a couple times a year to see whether you’re able to discontinue supplementation. It’s not uncommon for people to take vitamin D supplements for years without testing and then realizing they’re overdosed!

Vitamin D is fat soluble and levels will continue to build up over time.

If you discontinue supplementation, make sure you’re retesting in 3-4 months to see how you’re maintaining.

If you find you’re totally unable to maintain normal levels, there’s lots of things to explore such as light /sun exposure, dietary intake, poor digestive capabilities, other nutrient deficiencies.

We’re going into winter so it’s often a perfect time to get levels tested when sun will be scarce.

Since vitamin D is a hormone and we often see low levels in those with autoimmunity and cancer, it’s a cheap and easy thing to work on.

Your Friday chuckle, y’all. No clue where all the energy comes from but it’s a bottomless pit. 🤪

And for those wondering about the basics that even I say are foundational before these things…she has great fasting insulin and A1C data, her diet is already GF/DF, and she’s very health conscious!

Lab work and interventions are always a journey, and labs are just a snapshot in time. However, trends really do matter! It’s not enough space to fit in an entire case study here but I hope this tidbit helps for those who feel like they’re doing a lot correctly but still seem to be struggling!

If you feel like you’re still desperate for a plan that starts at the basics and goes deeper in manageable chunks, the online course may be a great fit for you! We start another cohort in January and you don’t need to feel lost.

Comment ā€œthyroidā€ and I’ll send you some info on module 1 of the course!

Comment ā€œtestā€ and I’ll send you the stool test I prefer (bc I don’t love the GI Map (shocking to hear but for good reasons).

I wanted to turn my entire story into a video here but (like always) there’s not enough room for a full discussion. If you want to see that discussion in real time, feel free to check out my current stories and if you just wanna sit back, I’ll be sharing part 2 tomorrow.

I’m sharing things that we discuss from my stories because sometimes I forget that people don’t always watch stories AND sometimes you learn things that can help you uncover your root causes when you hear a tidbit that you’ve never heard before!

Hormones impact a lot. I’m not a huge fan of HRT for everybody (seems to be the current trend) but since they impact your tissues, you can see impacts in parts of the body that have nothing to do with reproduction, like skin, eyes, and even joints.
