Hello Everyone,
It’s time to do a spring cleanse! Let’s clean the slate to start the summer at a healthy weight with clear skin and balanced hormones. I recommend two weeks of a low glycemic, low allergen diet, a high quality protein powder to support the body’s detoxification pathways, a good probiotic and lifestyle measures to get bile and lymph flowing. Let us know if you are interested in the cleanse package which includes detailed instructions, recipes, Thorne Mediclear protein powder and a Thorne probiotic for $185. You’ll thank yourself for taking such good care of your body!
Hello Everyone,
We are in the thick of the spring allergy season and here in Colorado, the winds are picking up and dispersing the tree pollens far and wide. As the season progresses, grass allergies will come into play as well. Some of you may be experiencing foggy headedness, congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing and difficulty breathing. Your immune system mistakenly recognizes the allergen as a threat and makes chemicals such as histamines that cause the symptoms such as itchy eyes.
How do we approach this problem in a natural way? I recommend the following steps to reduce your overall reactivity to allergens:
1. Do a cleanse or follow a low allergen diet. Those with environmental allergies also often have food allergies which contribute to the total load on the immune system, resulting in increased symptoms. I recommend following a clean diet or testing for food allergies. I’ll be discussing a spring cleanse in my newsletter next week so stay tuned!
2. Take a probiotic and eat naturally fermented foods. Your gut bacteria play a large role in the health of your immune system. Probiotics and naturally fermented foods such as yogurt, saurkraut, kimchi and miso can help modulate your immune system to make it less reactive to your environment.
3. Eat foods high in Vitamin C or take a Vitamin C supplement. Vitamin C is a natural anti-histamine. Foods rich in this nutrient include citrus fruit, bell peppers, strawberries, broccoli, brussels sprouts and potatoes.
4. Use a saline nasal spray daily to rinse out pollen, dust and smoke particles.
5. Use an air purifier in your home.
6. Try the supplement Quercetin, a safe natural anti-histamine which also has anti-inflammatory qualities.
7. Try Aller Dx, a Chinese herbal formula which acts rapidly to help you breathe easier. This non-drowsy, non-stimulant formula has been a lifesaver for many of my patients.
8. Try Southwest Allersode, a homeopathic combination specifically formulated for those allergic to plants that grow in the Southwest such as cottonwood, juniper, pinion, sage, rabbitbrush.
Let us know if you would like more help with allergies or are interested in trying any of the items listed above.
I look forward to seeing you soon,
Abigail

Hello Everyone,
It’s that time of year again! I am offering special prices on screening labs for the month of March to check blood sugar, cholesterol, thyroid, liver and kidney function, prostate health, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 and more. This is a great opportunity to check your health status and monitor any changes so that we can preventatively address those using natural methods. Let us know right away if you would like to take advantage of this opportunity as those early morning blood draw time slots fill up quickly. I recommend that you fast for 12 hours prior to your appointment with water only so that the results are accurate.
Let us know if you have any questions or would like to schedule a blood draw.
I look forward to seeing you soon,

Hello Everyone,
I love using my castor oil pack in winter. It feels like a warm hug on a cold winter night and provides the extra benefits of deep sleep, relief from bloating and constipation, improved bile flow which reduces gallbladder inflammation/stones, improved microbiome and biofilm breakdown and much more.
For general detox, sleep and digestion benefits, I recommend pouring 2 Tbsp. of organic castor oil on the flannel side of the castor oil pack compress. Apply the pack oil side facing the skin over the right upper part of the abdomen and tie the elastic ties around your abdomen to secure. Put on an old t-shirt over this and go to bed. You’ll wake up feeling refreshed with a flat stomach and regular bowel movements.
The castor oil pack can also be applied over the center of the lower abdomen for ovarian cysts, endometriosis and uterine fibroids or the oil can be directly applied to the joints for joint pain.
Let us know if you have questions about this ancient yet profound treatment or would like to purchase a compress from the office to get started!
Hello Everyone,
New Year, New Packages! I am excited to share three new packages that I am offering in my practice this year.
The New Patient Package includes a one hour new patient visit and two 30 minute follow up visits for $425.
The Men’s General Health Package includes a one hour visit, screening labs including a CBC,CMP,Lipid Panel, TSH, PSA and Total Testosterone followed by a 30 minute lab review visit for $525.
The Children’s Allergy Package includes a one hour visit, a blood test for IgG food sensitivities and a 30 minute follow up visit for $430.
What is the benefit of buying a package? Those who purchase a package are receiving 20% off regular office visit prices. Additionally, I find that those who chose a package are more likely to reach their health goals due to the personal commitment and the benefit of regular sessions to address the problem step by step.
It is ideal for the first visit to be held in person, however follow up visits can be conducted by phone or telemedicine.
Let us know if you have any questions or are interested in purchasing a package for the new year!
