I wanted to share a story of hope with you! Recently a 37 year old mom of two came in to see me for lifelong anxiety and depression (and hormone imbalance, migraines and back/neck pain). Her anxiety had increased significantly after giving birth to her daughter 2 years ago. She had tried various medications and ended up on Effexor and Ativan. On her follow up a month after beginning naturopathic treatment she reported that after just a week on the remedies she realized one d...ay she had forgotten to take her Ativan! Meaning she had not experienced anxiety that day to necessitate her to take it!! So she decided to continue not to take it and she continued to be without the anxiety! She also was able to reduce her dose of Effexor (under her medical doctor's supervision)! Part of her plan included L-theanine. This is a wonderful, safe amino acid that is very effective for anxiety! We also implemented an excellent probiotic, hormone balance, thyroid support, an anti-inflammatory formula and some bowel support. I also had her avoid gluten and pasteurized cow milk and cheese. We certainly have more work to do in terms of eliminating the causal factors for her issues, but she is off to a great start and is very motivated to continue! This is the power of natural medicine!

This is how the mornings start (because the pets can’t wait til meditation is over!)... it’s a mess or maybe organized chaos... we are doctoring a kitty who had some sort of neuro-immunological episode while we were away on vacation a couple months ago, which greatly debilitated him (and he’s only one year old). The vet still hasn’t figured out what happened. (I do love our holistic vet!) I think it could in part be due to bacteria from flea bites on top of not getting his us...ual raw diet while we were away. But it’s ok, little Poe has come a long way... with natural remedies and a lot of patience and love! Raw food is expensive but the pets love it and it’s hard to switch seeing how they all have flourished on it! I treat pets like I do humans... they can be tested via bioenergetic testing to look for cause and what remedies are best to use. It is life-saving medicine and saves a lot of guessing and trial and error- especially with pets because they can’t talk to us! #holisticpetcare #rawfoodfordogs #rawfoodforcats #petlove #naturalpetfood #naturalpet #bioenergeticmedicine #naturecure

For those with food sensitivities... this is a great find! My body doesn’t like tapioca/cassava which is in so many gluten-free products and I am selective with corn and potato. I don’t like the standard rice crackers out there- no fiber and taste like salted or flavored cardboard. I found these at a Giant while visiting my sister and will definitely be looking online for them!
