Seizures Controlled… But Still Not Well? There’s More to the Story.

In this video, Dr. Potter shares how one patient was on seizure medication for 20 years — yet still struggled with brain fog, low energy, and digestive issues.

Instead of just managing symptoms, we asked why the seizures were happening.
By addressing inflammation, gut dysfunction, and nutrient deficiencies, her body finally healed.

✨ Seizure-free
✨ Off medication
✨ Feeling well again

That’s the power of treating the root cause.

Your Gut Is Talking… Are You Listening?

Feeling anxious… tired… off… and not sure why?

It might not be “just stress.” Your gut and brain are in constant communication —and when your gut is struggling, your mood, energy, and focus can suffer too.

This is called the gut-brain connection, and it plays a powerful role in how you feel every single day.

At Sanctuary Functional Medicine, we look deeper to uncover what your gut may be trying to tell you — and how to restore balance from the inside out.

If you’ve been dealing with:
• Anxiety or low mood
• Brain fog
• Chronic fatigue
• Digestive issues
• Poor sleep

Your gut health could be a key piece of the puzzle.

Your healing may start where you least expect it.

Why did President Trump have to sign an executive order protecting something that is killing us?

I am so disappointed. I had some hope that the MAHA movement was making real headway, but then this ... protecting glyphosate. Toxins like glyphosate don't care whether you are red or blue politically. They hurt everyone!

Wherever you can post a comment condemning this, make this the biggest "NO!!!" that social media can muster.

Your Immune System Starts in Your Gut. In fact, nearly 70% of your immune system lives in your gut. That means the health of your microbiome influences everything from inflammation and energy levels to mood, skin health, and how well your body fights off illness.

When your gut is balanced, your immune system can respond the way it’s supposed to. When it’s not… symptoms often show up far beyond digestion.

If you’re dealing with:
• Frequent illness
• Bloating or food sensitivities
• Fatigue or brain fog
• Skin flare-ups
• Chronic inflammation

Your gut may be asking for support.

Healing often starts from within and your immune system is paying attention.

Dr. Potter’s Truth About Lyme Recovery

Lyme treatment isn’t just about antibiotics. If your lifestyle works against your body, healing is harder.

Real recovery means supporting your immune system daily:

✔️ Quality sleep
✔️ Stress management
✔️ Anti-inflammatory nutrition
✔️ Gentle movement

These habits create the conditions your body needs to heal. Your lifestyle should support recovery, not sabotage it.

Struggling with Lyme or chronic symptoms? We’re here to help.
