Functional Medicine/Primary Care in the Helena Area with virtual appointments in MT, ID, ND, SD, WY, FL, and MN.

Individualized medicine where the goal is ultimate health and wellness, no symptom masking. Hello, my name is Laura Rear. I am a certified nurse practitioner with a doctorate in nursing practice. I started Rocky Mountain Health and Healing in January of 2022. I struggled my entire adult life with chronic headaches/migraines. The traditional medical system was unable to cure my headaches and only provided pharmaceutical Band Aids that ended with significant adverse effects. I started researching different “out of the box” etiologies and found I was toxic for heavy metals. I found great products and lifestyle choices to help my body detox and I am happy to report, my daily headaches are gone. My passion is working with my patients to get at the root cause of disease and hopefully improve quality of life. I offer individual consultations for those with a primary care provider just looking for another opinion or provide direct primary care services for those who desire a primary care provider. Having worked as a primary care provider in a large healthcare system, I understand the push for providers to see 20+ patients per day with high patient load volumes. My direct primary care (DPC) patients have direct access to me via phone, text, or electronic medical record messages. I will not take on more than 150-200 patients total in my practice so I am available if a patient needs me. We have misconceptions that healthcare needs to occur in multimillion dollar facilities. The reality is, healthcare can occur in your home and actually allows me to get to know you on a personal level. My DPC members have the advantage of having home visits, while all other patients will be seen at my office (685 Barney Street, Suite B in Helena). Health is more than a symptom. To acquire true health and wellness, it is vital to know a person’s entire history, which requires longer initial visits. This is challenging when a provider can only spend 15-20 minutes with a patient. I will take the time needed to really know you and your journey with a minimum of 1-2 hour appointments. If you are interested in acquiring true health and wellness, please visit rockymountainhealthhealing.org or call 406-451-0171 for more details.

I love the sun! I will never be afraid of the sun. I will never avoid the sun. It is healing. The evil powers that be wouldn't be trying so hard to block the sun, if it were truly bad.

It is going to be almost 70 today in Spearfish. I will be outside most of the day, in the sun and my body will absolutely love it!!!

Happy Sunday!

Well, maybe😝😝😝 Cannot shut your eyes once they have been open!

I am heading to see my daughter and grand babies tomorrow morning. I will be gone for a week. Robyn will still be working her normal days and hours. I will have access to my computer so can refill medications and send lab orders. I am beyond excited to see everybody. Going to be hard coming home🥲

Happy Wednesday!

Cancer prevalence is at an all time high. As I have mentioned previously, the rates have increased significantly since Covid. There are many reasons for cancer to the develop in the body. But one of the most obvious is immune system dysfunction. Why would the immune system be dysfunctional? Because we live in an extremely toxic world. Microplastics are just one part of that toxicity.

Microplastics can be found in products like cosmetics, plastic bags and water bottles. There are rare times that I will drink out of a plastic water bottle (i.e. traveling) but you will never see me with a plastic water bottle at the clinic or at home. My mom drank nothing but bottled water. Her water was not good. I. talked to her several times about getting a filter, like a Berky, but she never did. I cannot say that microplastics were the cause of her cancer, but I think in combination with everything else, they likely contributed.

There is so much we cannot control in this world. But we can control what we put in our bodies, on our bodies and around our bodies. I would highly encourage taking an inventory of what you are consuming and products you are using now, before the immune system is too overwhelmed. Toxins are just one piece of the puzzle. Pathogens are probably equally damaging or maybe even more damaging in many cases. Our poor immune systems were not created faulty. The evil of the world is just wearing them out.

Happy Monday!

I thought I would discuss NAD+, which has been extremely popular in the peptide world. It was not one of the ones that was taken away by the FDA. Although I saw we can now get most of the ones the FDA took away in 2022. That is great news!

What is NAD+? A simple search states: "NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a vital molecule found in every cell of the body that plays a key role in energy production and various cellular processes, including DNA repair and metabolism. It exists in two forms: NAD+ (oxidized) and NADH (reduced), which help transfer electrons during chemical reactions".

It has been shown to help with energy production; mitochondrial homeostasis; DNA repair; stress; muscle regeneration/age related decline; obesity; insulin resistance; decreases inflammation; improvement in the immune system; helps with neurodegeneration; improved liver function; and improved blood flow. Wow is right!!!! It is anti-aging in a bottle.

So what is the best way to take NAD+?
Oral: very poorly absorb since NAD is a big molecule that cannot cross cell membranes. Plus most is destroyed by the digestive tract. Most supplement companies will use NAD precursors, like nicotinamide riboside (NR). The body then can increase the production of NAD+. Most studies show an absorption rate (bioavailablity) of 2-10% with an oral NAD+ product, meaning the majority is essentially wasted when you use an oral product. Using a oral NAD precursor will have an absorption rate 20-40%. Oral products will produce brief spikes in NAD and lasts 2-4 hours. The onset is 1-3 hours. Reaching a therapeutic level is minimal.

Sublingual: most show an absorption rate (bioavailability) of 10-20%. Same as oral: onset 1-3 hours and lasts only 2-4 hours. Reaching a therapeutic level is minimal.

Intranasal: 15-25% bioavailability. Onset is 15-30 minutes. Lasts 4-8 hours and has a moderate impact on reaching a therapeutic level

IV/Injection: 100% bioavailability. This is the best way to take NAD+. Onset is 5-15 minutes and lasts 24-72 hours. This is the most optimal way to reach a therapeutic level.

As you can imagine, IV infusion are the most expensive and can range from $250-over thousand per infusion. We charge $250. An IV infusion can take 1-4 hours to infuse. If it is infused too quickly the person can feel pretty crummy.

I can prescribe a vial of NAD+ so the person can self-inject. Typical dose is 100 mg subQ 3-4x/week. A month is going to cost $400 plus.

Intranasal is much cheaper at $250 for a month but the bioavailability is so much lower.

Oral products are typically not cheap but the odds that you will feel any significance difference is extremely low.

NAD+ is wonderful, but expensive. Someone posted on one of my EBOO ads on Facebook, "this type of healthcare is a luxury". They were not wrong. Most will not be able to afford an appropriate form of NAD+ on a regular basis. Wish things could be different. We should have a right to demand how our money is being used for our health. Maybe it will happen in my lifetime.

March is going to be a difficult month for me. Sean's birthday is 3/14 and my mom's birthday is 3/26. Sean would have been 23 this year and my mom 77. Every day is hard but March is going to be especially difficult moving forward, as is November/December. I don't want to focus on the sadness and hurt but I am not sure how avoid those feelings. And maybe the goal is not to avoid them but to embrace that grief this horrific means I loved deeply.

The world is crazy right now. I don't want war. I hate that our divided country will celebrate evil when their side is in charge making the decisions. Evil is evil. We must at some point recognize that our leaders are just evil puppets and countries who we help to liberate never end up better in the long run. We can justify death and destruction in another country with an evil ruler that is harming their people. Yet the evil rulers in our country get ignored and are given free passes. This may be a very unpopular opinion but I will continue to call out evil when I see it. I can't be the light, if I support evil because my side spun the narrative.

As I have said before, this is not a US vs another country or a right vs left battle. This is absolutely a good vs evil. I believe the negative energy we release into the world is exactly what they want. They want us fearful. They want us hurting. They want us fighting each other. They want us so focused on world events that we forget how to live in the moment. We are too distressed to enjoy the beauty surrounding us. We are too focused on the war and liberation that we can't get off our phones to go for a walk or play with the kids. We celebrate the evil when we should be fighting against it. I have heard several people talk about our phones as being the Mark of the Beast. Very few people in the world today can live without the phone being in their hand. We make purchases from our phones. We bank on our phones. We can track world events from our phones. While I am not convinced of this theory, I do believe this technology has not been in our best interest. And I do believe with all of my being that complete control is coming. And our phones will be a critical component of that plan. We will be too busy fighting each other and defending "our side" that we will not even see the rollout coming. One day we will wake up and our money will be completely controlled. My money will be shut off since I post things like this. Your money is shut off because you have 10 vaccines you need to get caught up with. Their money is shut off because they sought medical treatment at my clinic vs the government approved healthcare clinic. We are inching closer, yet we are so consumed we seem to ignore the inevitable.

I know He is bigger than all of the problems in this world. I know He has a plan that I cannot see. I know He has opened my eyes to be the light and to heed warnings of what is to come. I do not fear what is coming. Maybe that is just grief and feeling numb. But I have total peace. If he took me home tomorrow, I would celebrate. But whatever is coming, I know He has put many of us in place to help His people get through it. Things will get worse. Much worse. Do Not put faith in man. Put your faith in Him. No matter what is coming our way, He will guide us. He will be there no matter how bad things yet. And in the end, we will be with Him. Our souls will be free and back home, in eternal peace🙏

Interesting take! We know the cancer incidence is steadily climbing. So many people since Covid with a new diagnosis. Many who are no longer with us:( But the one that has surprised me the most is the kidney disease. Unfortunately, most practitioners looking at lab work will look for abnormals. Most labs will not flag kidney functioning until they are already in a Stage 3a kidney disease.

A simple search shows that "GFR or Glomerular Filtration Rate, is a test that measures how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood. It helps determine kidney function and can indicate the presence of kidney disease" The GFR can be found on a comprehensive metabolic panel.

Stages of chronic kidney disease:
Stage 1: >90 GFR. Likely no kidney damage (although can be mild kidney damage) and the kidneys will be functioning between 90-100%
Stage 2: GFR 60-89. Kidney damage with mild loss of kidney function (60-89% kidney function). This is where I find most people after Covid
Stage 3a: GFR 45-59. Mild to moderate loss of kidney function (45-59% kidney function)
Stage 3b: GFR 30-44. Moderate to severe loss of kidney function (30-44% kidney function)
Stage 4: GFR 15-29. Severe loss of kidney function (15-29 kidney function)
Stage 5: GFR

It used to make me uncomfortable to be the minority in my thinking. I think more and more people are becoming awake to the insanity of the world. But now, I would much rather be on this side of history. Life is easier being asleep and allowing those that run our world tell us how we should live and think. But I cannot pretend to be asleep.

My eyes are wide open and I trust nothing. I refuse to let fear run my life.

Happy Friday!

Some days!!!😝🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I actually carry a mutated APOE gene so have an increased of Alzheimer's. But I am not accepting that risk. Everything I do daily is to keep my body as healthy as possible as I age.

My peptides came last night! I am excited but scared to start them. Why do I hate injections so much? 🤣😂😂

Unfortunately, we are going to cancel the insulin resistance talk on Saturday at 11. Wanda is sick and will not be able to give her talk. Unsure when we will reschedule, but will let you know.

So for anyone that was planning to attend, please do not come. Stay well everyone. So much junk going around right now🥲

Does the evil ever stop? Toxins will embed in tissues, including our brains. Detoxing the brain can be difficult due to the blood/brain barrier. That is why I love iodine! It can get into the brain. We have been brainwashed to believe that iodine is bad. I think it is obvious by now that if mainstream healthcare is against something, our bodies likely need it.

There are conditions where iodine should be used with caution. Definitely talk to a functional medicine practitioner before starting iodine. And also make sure you are taking the right doses so negative consequences do not occur. If you try to discuss this with a traditional practitioner, you will be told how dangerous it is and they will steer you away from iodine. I was taught iodine was bad in my traditional training but have since learned how beneficial it is. And how the majority of us are likely deficient in iodine.

I have had a couple of patients recently who have been "talked out" of treatments by other practitioners. I would never recommend things that are harmful. Everything I recommend to my patients I believe in, I do to my own body, and have seen the results they can have. It used to hurt my feelings but not really anymore. If people do not trust me, I guess that is on them. I can never be accused of being in this for the money. That is unfortunately not the case in many clinics out there. My mission is for healthy and happy people😍

Happy Wednesday!
