A classic

Edison is believed to have said this in 1903, and this still hasn't come to pass quite yet. I believe this is part of the paradigm shift happening in Western health that has been present in other cultures for centuries. Health is found in what you put on your plate, how you move your body, the quality of your sleep, and your ability to manage stress.

It’s about understanding that your body is a self-healing, self-regulating organism when you give it what it needs and remove what harms it.

Almost all chronic diseases we see commonly today, heart disease, pain, digestive issues, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, and even dementia, are not inevitable consequences of bad luck or aging. They’re consequences of the toxic food system, environmental exposures, chronic stress, and a medical system that waits until you’re sick to intervene.

Our bodies want to heal; we just have to get the right things out of the way.

Did you know there is a link between your gut health and your emotions?!

We’ve all felt it, that flutter in your stomach before a big moment, the pit that drops when you get bad news, or the deep, warm calm that settles when you’re relaxed and well fed. These “gut feelings” are more than just metaphors. Science is catching up to what natural health practitioners ...

Getting some good protein, fats and veggies while contemplating and creating new ways to present and teach about functional wellness.

This has been common knowledge amongst the holistic and functional communities.

This has been common knowledge amongst the holistic and functional communities.

New research shows moderately high cholesterol levels are linked to extreme longevity.

This upends what scientists previously thought about cholesterol.

For decades, "bad" cholesterol (LDL) has been cast as the primary villain of heart health, with standard advice being "the lower, the better." However, groundbreaking research in long-lived communities like Sardinia is turning this narrative on its head with what scientists call a "cholesterol paradox."

Data from these populations show that older individuals with moderately higher LDL levels—around 130 mg/dL or more—frequently live longer than those with lower readings. Rather than being purely harmful, LDL appears to serve as a crucial biological reserve in the elderly, supporting vital immune functions, hormone production, and cell repair as the body ages.

This discovery marks a significant shift toward personalized medicine, moving away from one-size-fits-all health targets. While managing cholesterol remains essential for younger adults, aggressive lowering treatments in the elderly may need a re-evaluation, as these fats provide stability and energy for aging systems. Doctors are now emphasizing a more holistic view, considering genetics and inflammation markers rather than just a single number on a lab report. Ultimately, for those in their golden years, maintaining moderate cholesterol levels might not be a risk factor, but a biological key to reaching the age of ninety and beyond.

Our Story

Monadnock Natural Health offers a multifaceted approach to healthcare essential in meeting the extraordinary demands of the modern world. Doctors utilize some of the most advanced methods available for handling those nagging chronic symptoms that get in the way of enjoying life. You know; chronic neck and back pain, headaches, joint pain, sleeplessness, digestive issues, immune challenges, fatigue, unhealthy weight… and the list of health problems we help solve goes on. Our specialty lies in helping our patients discover the underlying and sometimes hidden causes of their chronic health issues. Hidden causes may include environmental irritants, food sensitivities, nutritional deficiency, stress syndromes and more. Once the doctor can pinpoint the source of a problem, he can devise a plan to address it. By developing safe and natural customized health improvement programs, we help our patients improve their health and feel better and more energized so that they can focus on enjoying their lives instead of managing their symptoms.
