Who Owns Your Health? The Power of the Empowered Patinent.

This podcast is about a young lady promised to be crippled by her specialist if she did not take her medications. When she found our practice she had no real expectations. She just wanted to feel a little better.  She gave it her all.  She saw a change in her blood test and her physical and mental well-being.

The last meeting I had with her she said she told her rheumatologist what exactly of the options he had given her she would like to choose and it blew my mind!

This is what I have strived for.

An empowered patient who is not longer afraid of her disease state but has the confidence to discuss her personalized health with her rheumatologist with 100% confidence and involvement, not blind faith.

This is something the world needs to know.  It can be done.

I lose patients all the time, now not because I am simply their business choice (covered by insurance) it is because they have reached their personal health goals!

This is a dramatic shift, in our way of thinking, our way of doing and our way of being.

How to Beat PCOS

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder in women that can cause painful or erratic menstrual cycles, infertility, acne and hirutism.

Women can suffer for years before being diagnosed or go undiagnosed while suffering with symptoms.

While the conventional medical system maintains that the cause of PCOS is unknown, it does seem to worsen with obesity/weight gain, excess insulin, low-grade inflammation and hormone imbalance.

This all sounds connected right?!

We're going to take a deep dive into how PCOS develops and what can actually be done to reverse it, not simply modify the symptoms with birth control pills that come with their own side effects.

Is Adrenal Fatigue Farce or Fact?

You may have heard the term adrenal fatigue but did you know that there is currently no such accepted medical diagnosis?

Generally, adrenal fatigue refers to a cluster of symptoms which may include fatigue, body aches, weight changes, low blood pressure, lightheadedness, and may even contribute to PCOS.

Adrenal insufficiency is recognized medically as Addison's disease and occurs when there is inadequate production of adrenal gland hormones as a result of another underlying disease.

Adrenal fatigue refers to a less severe form of adrenal insufficiency caused by chronic stress from our perpetually high-paced lifestyles. Many women may be suffering from these symptoms for years with no solution as blood tests often come back normal.

This leaves the questions:

1. Does adrenal fatigue exist and should it be recognized in medicine?

2. What tests can show if adrenal fatigue is the culprit to your mystery symptoms?

3. What is the solution to reversing symptoms and damage done by chronic stress?
