Hello Everyone,
The Spring Cleanse that I have created for you has been so well received that I have decided to make 10 more packages available at the discounted price of $177.00 so that more people can take advantage of it.  It’s a perfect time to do a cleanse!  Have you been wanting to shed a few pounds, improve mood, energy and skin health and tone down unwanted hormonal symptoms?  If so, I have the perfect cleanse program for you.  Two weeks of clean diet changes with recipes, lifestyle recommendations, a comprehensive detox protein powder and a high quality probiotic are included in the package. 
With beautiful spring weather arriving, we all want to feel our best as we get out of winter mode and engage in all of the activities we love at this time of year such as hiking, biking, gardening and travel.  Set the stage for an active summer by doing an internal “de-clutter”.  You’ll thank yourself for it! 
The cost of the cleanse package is $197.00, however I will be offering $20 off to the first 10 people who purchase it, bringing the price down to $177.00. 

Let us know right away if you would like to take advantage of this opportunity!

Hello Friends,
Do you feel out of control with sugar at times?  You are not alone!  Sugar triggers the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward.   The dopamine release can create a reinforcing cycle leading to cravings.  Additionally, stress and emotional eating as a coping mechanism can create an unhealthy relationship with sugar.  In our society we have such easy access to sugar and it has pleasurable associations with holidays and social gatherings. If you feel that you would benefit from a reset in your relationship to sugar, check out the new class that I will be holding with Jamie DeLuccio, Certified Health Coach and Yoga Instructor called 21 Day Sugar Shape Up.  In three live video workshops, we’ll guide you through a 21 day vacation from sugar with health and nutrition guidance, recipes, yoga and guided meditation for sugar cravings, emotional support and accountability.  This is a fantastic opportunity to get help from two experienced health professionals plus a supportive group to achieve some of your biggest health goals.  Join us on January 26th, February 1st and February 15th from 5:30 pm to 6:15 pm.   To register, Venmo $197 to Jamie-Deluccio or call my office. 
We look forward to seeing you in the class!

Hello Everyone,
This is the last day to sign up for the live virtual 21 Day Sugar Detox class that I am conducting with Jamie DeLuccio, aimed at making it easier to take a break from sugar so that you can experience increased energy, balanced moods, clear skin, weight loss and a stronger immune system.  We start tomorrow at 5:30 pm and then meet again on February 1st and 15th.  Don’t miss this chance to join us and a supportive community to meet your health goals!  Call my office to sign up or with any questions.  

Also, a reminder that I’m celebrating the 20th Anniversary of my Naturopathic practice in Ridgway this year!  In honor of this milestone, I would like to invite you to attend an open house at my office tomorrow (Friday January 26th) from 12 to 4 pm.  I’ll be providing healthy snacks and beverages and some amazing gifts.  Each adult who attends the open house in person will receive a certificate for 20% off an office visit with me.  In addition, I will be offering some new packages at incredible prices.  New patients will be able to purchase a 3 visit package for $400 and established patients will be able to buy the same package for $360.  This is 20% off my usual visit prices!  What a great opportunity to take care of your health this year or get to the bottom of a health issue that needs some attention. 
I look forward to seeing you all on Friday!

Happy New Year Everyone, 
I wanted to discuss a spate of respiratory illnesses that have been circulating this season which are causing a great deal of congestion followed by a prolonged cough.  These symptoms can be caused by Covid-19, Flu, RSV or a variety of other viruses.  These illnesses can result in hospitalization, especially for those who are most vulnerable including very young children, older adults and those with asthma or COPD.  Prevention strategies can include vaccination and masking in addition to keeping your immune system up to par.  Below is a list of 10 things that I have been doing myself and recommend to keep illness at bay: 
1.  Getting plenty of sleep. 
2.  Exercising daily. 
3.  Limiting sugar and alcohol.  
4.  Increasing intake of vegetables. 
5.  Consuming enough protein. 
5.  Eating more warm, cooked foods and less cold foods. 
6.  Including warming spices daily such as cayenne, ginger and cinnamon. 
7.  Eating a small piece of raw ginger root daily. 
8.  Adding raw garlic to some meals. 
9.  Drinking apple cider vinegar.  
10.  Taking probiotics or including naturally fermented foods. 

If you are sick, please schedule a short phone or video consult with me to discuss natural strategies to shorten the duration and severity of your illness. 

Stay well out there!

Hello Everyone,
I will be out of the office from December 25th to January 3rd.  Lisa will be in the office for part of that time between January 1st and January 3rd from 9 am to noon.  We will reopen for normal business hours on January 4th.  Please let us know right away if you would like to see me this week or if you need a refill on an herbal tincture, homeopathic remedy or other supplement.  When we are closed, as usual you can schedule appointments and refill most supplements via my website. 

I wanted to highlight two items that I find extremely helpful in surviving the holiday season:  Vitamin B12 injections and Castor Oil Packs. 

The injectable Vitamin B12 that I use is Methylcobalamin, the active form of B12 that is most readily used by the body.  It is essential for normal function of the nervous system.  I like to use the injectable form form to give a rapid energy and mood boost.  If you find yourself really dragging during this busy season, it could be beneficial.  I also find the injections invaluable in helping to recover your energy after an infection such as Covid. 

For those that are needing help with restful sleep and smooth digestion, I recommend Castor Oil Packs at night.  This is a traditional Naturopathic treatment that encourages parasympathetic nervous system activity to “rest and digest”.  Castor oil absorbed through the skin over the liver and gallbladder has a gentle detoxifying effect.  You’ll wake up very well rested (I find it helps me get into a dream state) with a flat stomach.  It enhances your ability to have regular bowel movements.  This treatment can be done any time but I find it especially beneficial when I have an upset stomach or have overeaten or eaten too late at night and suspect that I won’t sleep well as a result.  It helps almost immediately.  We carry the supplies to do this treatment with lovely soft mess-free compresses from Canada.    

Let us know if you have questions about either of these treatments or would like to get started feeling better! 

Warm wishes for your holiday season and I look forward to seeing you in January. 

Abigail

Hello Everyone,
I wanted to highlight a new product that I am carrying in my office; Blue Green Algae.  Grown in the mineral-rich waters of Upper Klamath Lake, this blue green algae is one of nature’s most nourishing superfoods.  I love this product because it is essentially a food and naturally contains a variety of nutrients including amino acids, gamma linoleic acid, B-vitamins, beta carotenes, chlorophyll and other bio-active compounds.  It is safe for everyone to use, including young children.  I find blue green algae especially helpful for enhancing mental clarity, boosting energy and stamina and assisting in the body’s detoxification processes.  The brand I am carrying is dried at low temperatures to preserve phytonutrients, tested by third party laboratories to ensure that it does not contain any potential contaminants and is USDA Organic.  I currently have capsules of blue green algae in stock but can order powder if you prefer. 
Please call the office with any questions or to place an order!  It is not yet available in my online store but we would be happy to mail it to you from the office.
