At Dawson Integrative Medical Center, we combine traditional health care with functional medicine, holistic medicine, alternative medicine and acupuncture, through a systems oriented approach. Rather than simply treating an isolate set of symptoms, we form a therapeutic partnership with our patients to determine the underlying cause for symptoms and illness. We take the time necessary to discover our patients' medical histories and examine the interactions among genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors...which influence long term health and complex chronic disease. Our treatment plans incorporate the latest modern medicine as well as natural and alternative treatments that have been found to contribute significantly to overall health and well-being. This may include prescription medication, supplements, herbal medicines, bio-identical or natural treatments...or a combination!

✨ Could peptides be the missing link in how you feel? ✨

Most people think fatigue, stubborn weight changes, low libido, brain fog, or poor sleep are “just part of aging”… but in functional medicine, we know these are often signs that your cellular signaling needs support.

Peptides work by communicating directly with your cells — helping your body repair, recover, and regulate itself more efficiently. Instead of forcing hormones or metabolism in one direction, peptides gently nudge your body back into balance.

Here’s what patients typically notice once starting a personalized peptide protocol:

✔️ more consistent daily energy
✔️ easier fat loss + improved muscle tone
✔️ sharper focus + less burnout
✔️ healthier hormone balance
✔️ deeper, restorative sleep
✔️ faster recovery from workouts or stress
✔️ increased resilience, mood, and vitality

We tailor peptide therapy to your labs, symptoms, and long-term goals — because no two patients need the same protocol.

✨ Curious what peptides could do for you?

Your body has a “stress bucket”… and it can overflow.
Allostatic load = the total amount of stress on your body at any moment.

Poor sleep, trauma, nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, social isolation, and even too much exercise all add up.

This simple illustration explains something we see every single day in our clinic:
Most people aren’t “mysteriously sick”… their bucket is overflowing.

Your allostatic load is affected by things like:
🔹 chronic stress
🔹 inadequate sleep
🔹 nutrient deficiencies
🔹 poor dietary quality
🔹 excessive exercise
🔹 past trauma or oppression
🔹 social isolation
🔹 alcohol/drugs
🔹 chronic inflammation

Some people are born with a bigger bucket (more resilience).

Others have a smaller bucket due to genetics, early childhood stress, or chronic illness.

When the bucket fills → symptoms begin:
• anxiety
• burnout
• depression
• hormonal dysfunction
• gut issues
• inflammation
• autoimmune flares
• fatigue
• chronic pain

Functional medicine isn't just about treating symptoms—it's about lowering the total load so the bucket no longer overflows.

At Dawson Integrative & Functional Medicine, we help you identify what’s filling your bucket and give you real, actionable tools to heal from the inside out.

🌟 November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month 🌟

Pancreatic cancer is often called a “silent disease” because symptoms can be subtle — and early detection saves lives. This month, I’m using my platform to help educate, empower, and support those affected.

Here are 7 steps you can take to reduce your risk ⬇️
(And yes — these are all rooted in evidence-based medicine and supported by integrative approaches.)

💜 1. Know the Symptoms
Abdominal or back pain, nausea, poor appetite, unexplained weight loss, stool changes, new-onset diabetes, and jaundice should never be ignored.

💜 2. Make Healthy Food Choices
Nutrient-dense, antioxidant-rich foods support a healthier pancreas and reduce oxidative stress.

💜 3. Get Moving
Regular physical activity boosts immunity, reduces inflammation, and lowers risk for many cancers — including pancreatic.

💜 4. Limit Alcohol
Heavy drinking increases risk of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Occasional drinks are generally fine, but moderation matters.

💜 5. Avoid To***co
Smoking is one of the strongest modifiable risk factors for pancreatic cancer. Quitting is one of the best things you can do for your long-term health.

💜 6. Be Mindful of Your Weight
Inflammation, insulin resistance, and excess visceral fat all increase pancreatic cancer risk. Even small steps toward a healthier weight make a difference.

💜 7. Know Your Family History
Genetics matter. If pancreatic cancer runs in your family, talk to your provider about early screening and personalized prevention strategies.

🎗️ At Dawson Integrative & Functional Medicine, we believe in a proactive, root-cause approach to cancer prevention — blending the best of conventional, natural, and functional medicine.

If you want to learn more about risk reduction, screening options, or holistic prevention, feel free to reach out or schedule a visit. 💜

You guys, I honestly have chills watching this. It is truly a historic day for women. Now, if we can just get doctors trained because 90% have absolutely no education, training or idea how to manage menopause hormones!

BREAKING NEWS❗❗❗Big news in menopause: The FDA has announced it will remove the long-standing boxed warning, the most prominent caution label, from more than 20 hormone therapy products used to treat hot flashes, night sweats, and other menopause symptoms.

The warning was first added over 20 years ago and cited potential risks of heart attack, stroke, and dementia. The decision to remove it follows updated research and ongoing review by medical experts who say today’s understanding of hormone therapy and how it should be prescribed has evolved significantly.

For many women, this change may open the door to more informed conversations with their doctors about whether hormone therapy is a safe and effective option.

This is a reminder that menopause care continues to change and that every woman deserves access to current, evidence-based information to make the best decision for her health.

When Everything Feels Heavy, Remember This…

Stress has a way of stacking — one thing after another — until it feels like too much. If you're tired, overwhelmed, emotional, or just not yourself lately… that makes sense. You’re human. And you’re allowed to take a breath.

Here are some gentle reminders to help you care for yourself right now:

✨ Slow Down.
You don’t have to push at full speed every day. It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to not be “productive.” Your body and mind need pauses to heal.

✨ Limit the Noise.
Silence the news. Step away from screens. Take a few deep breaths. Peace often comes from subtraction, not addition.

✨ Nourish Yourself.
Eat something warm. Drink water. Step outside and feel the sun on your skin. Let the simple things be enough today.

✨ Feel What You Feel.
You don’t need to “fix” your emotions. Just acknowledge them. Let them pass like weather. No emotion is permanent.

✨ Ask for Support.
You’re not meant to handle everything alone. Reach out — even if it’s just to say, “I’m tired.” Connection is medicine.

✨ Return to Your Body.
Place your hand on your chest. Inhale slowly for 4. Hold for 2. Exhale for 6. Repeat until your shoulders soften.

You’re doing your best — and that is enough.
Take care of you. 💜
