Not an ad but just a product share that I really like! Danger coffee is remineralized, mold free, and comes directly from small farms. Honestly I have a hard time buying any other grounds because the dark roast flavor is the best! I don't drink a lot of coffee but when I do, I make sure it's at least MOLD FREE!

When I attend events, I always get the same questions. So I thought maybe it's time to discuss some things on my page to help people! I'm Shelby, I am an American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP) Holistic Health Practitioner. I attended my training through Trinity School Of Natural Health. This program is a stepping stone in the route to becoming a Naturopath, which is a long term goal of mine. As a holistic health practitioner, I chose to ask the question "why is this happening" not "what is the problem". An initial appointment with me is 2 hours long (People always say, "I wasn't sure how we were going to fill that time, but we did"). During those 2 hours we look at physical symptoms, the way you eat, digestion, hormones & cycles, stress & nervous system health, sleep, energy, overall lifestyle, emotional patterns, environmental & toxin exposure, you INTUITION (which is worth so much, we don't give intuition enough credit) and your lived experiences. People come to me when their labs are "normal" (notice the quotes because normal doesn't = optimal/functional) but they still feel awful, they've been told to wait it out, they've been given a medication they don't want to take, they don't feel heard or taken seriously, their body feels out of sync, or medications are making their symptoms worse rather than better. I also see people who are preparing themselves and/or their partner for pregnancy and just want to be sure they are doing everything they can to have a healthy chance of conception. Here's what I don't do:
-Diagnose or replace a medical provider (we can work cohesively)
-offer one-size-fits-all protocols
-ignore your intuition or lived experience

All of that to say during your appointment we will help you understand what your body is communicating, identify root contributors, support your body through food, lifestyle, herbs, & nervous system work, educate and empower you to make informed choices, and work alongside conventional care when needed. There's a misconception that holistic health providers and naturopaths only work with those who don't want to utilize the medical system. Far from the truth in my experience because we help everyone make better choices or fix the root cause. So all that to say, we aren't "anti-medicine" we are "Pro YOU" For many people this is the missing piece between "I'm fine on paper" and "I actually feel good"

Anyone local to the Zanesville/Muskingum area have any interest in working with postpartum moms? Specifically thinking, providing nourishing meals or a prenatal gathering to prep freezer meals for moms during postpartum? My mentors offer this in the Dayton/Kettering area and I think it's something we could use!

PMS Rage has come up with clients and even friends lately. I tend to feel drawn to a subject if it continues to show up in my life. It first showed up for myself, then some preconception clients, then some friends. So what is PMS Rage? it is an intense surge of anger, irritability, or emotional reactivity that occurs in the days before a period and feels disproportionate, sudden, or out of character.

What could this potentially mean? For some women this occurs because of the intense shifts of progesterone and estrogen, sometimes progesterone dropping too quickly can aggravate these rage symptoms. Next, blood sugar instability & mineral depletion could be causing these symptoms. Highs and lows in your blood sugar can make you irritable even if it's not during "PMS Time". Mineral depletion is SO incredibly common in our society right now from our food, medications, and even our water. Hair testing, labs, and even just general physiological symptoms can tell us a lot about your mineral status. (homeopathy is one of my favorites to help with mineral repletion). Finally your nervous system can affect rage. It seems simple but having emotional regulation and nervous system regulation can help ease these symptoms. The symptoms might feel worse during those times of overwhelm and stress.

When you're doing all the right things like eating well (and eating ENOUGH), drinking water, getting restful sleep, and still experiencing these symptoms, it's time to look a little deeper and ask your body WHY this is happening.

When we were trying to conceive people would always say "just stop trying and you'll get pregnant." While that was incredibly annoying to hear, especially with infertility struggles, there is some truth to it. One piece of the TTC puzzle is nervous system regulation. If your body is stuck in fight-or-flight, it doesn't prioritize reproduction, it prioritizes survival. The constant obsession with trying to conceive, taking ovulation tests, tracking symptoms and timing all affect your nervous system and sometimes in a negative way. This is especially true if you have struggled to get pregnant because each cycle brings new anxieties.
Chronic stress, even the kind that allows you to be high functioning can affect:
ovulation, implantation, progesterone, cervical mucus, and cycle regularity. This is why you sometimes have "normal" labs and perfect timing but still struggle to conceive. Your body is constantly asking "Am I safe to create and sustain life". Your body doesn't just want relaxation. It wants regulation, nourishment, safety, and the release of urgency and pressure.
Your body is always listening.
