Hello Everyone, 
It’s that time of year again!  A round of viruses have already passed through the area since school started this fall and I hope to help you prevent future illnesses by offering a range of natural immune support products. 

We are now able to place our order for this year’s homeopathic Flu Nosode, a liquid based upon this year’s flu strains which is taken on a schedule throughout the flu season to prevent flu-like illnesses.  Please let us know as soon as possible if you would like us to order a bottle for you. 

In addition, we always carry other immune support nutrients and herbs such as Vitamin A, Vitamin D3, Zinc, Vitamin C, Probiotics, Oregano Oil capsules, Berberine, EHB (Echinacea/Hydrastis/Berberine) and MRS (Maitake/Reishi/Shitake).  

Let me know if you need guidance in the area of immune support.  

I look forward to seeing you soon,

Hello Everyone, 
Please join me tonight for a screening of the film “The M Factor:  Shredding the Silence on Menopause” followed by a panel discussion with myself and two other health professionals specializing in the treatment of menopause. 
It is today, Tuesday, September 1st at the Sherbino Theater in Ridgway.  Doors open at 6pm, show starts at 6:30 pm.  This is a different film than the one shown in May, which was about perimenopause.  Entry is by donation.

The first is this Thursday, August 27th at 5:30 pm in Montrose.  I will be giving a talk entitled “Stop Guessing, Start Understanding” about health breakthroughs that can occur as a result of information gathered from specialty laboratory testing.  This event will be held at a private home at 1875 Locust Rd. Montrose, CO 81401 as part of a monthly meeting of the group, Conscious Connections.  This event is free and open to the public.

Hello Everyone,
The wildfires raging in the West this summer have significantly impacted our physical and mental health and will continue to do so for an unknown period of time. 
In recognition of this, and because I want to make sure that you all get the support that you need, I am offering 10% off all 30 and 60 minute appointments with me for the remainder of July.  These can be in person or remote visits and apply to both new and established patients. 

Let us know if you would like to take advantage of this unusual discount (I have never discounted my visits before!) in honor of all that you are going through right now. 

Hello Everyone,
I will be out of the office from June 8th to the 12th.  Athena will be at the front desk on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of that week from 9 am to noon to assist you with scheduling appointments, refilling supplements and anything else that you need. 
As always, you may also schedule appointments and refill most supplements via my website. 

Please let us know right away if you would like to see me this week!

I look forward to seeing you soon,

Hello Everyone,
I recently read a book that I wanted to bring to your attention because I think it might be relevant for many of you.  Jenn Salib Huber, RD, ND’s new book “Eat to Thrive During Menopause” feels like a compilation of all of the nutrition information that I give my patients in this phase of life, plus recipes!  The book is grounded in intuitive eating and the science of nutrition, not restrictive rules.  It helps women eat for optimal health in menopause in addition to addressing specific symptoms with targeted dietary strategies.  Built around five key ingredients:  soy and phytoestrogens, protein, fiber, calcium and omega-3 fatty acids, it’s a nutrition road map with many excellent recipes so that you can put the recommendations into action right away.  
If you have been wanting more concrete information about how to eat during menopause to stay healthy and minimize symptoms, this book is highly recommended.  

I look forward to seeing you soon,

Abigail

Hello Everyone,
I am excited to announce that I will be speaking at two live events this week.  The first is a film showing at the Sherbino Theater in Ridgway on May 12th called The M Factor 2:  Before the Pause at 6:30 pm.  This film shines a light on perimenopause through women’s real stories, showing how silence and stigma derail lives and why early awareness is necessary to protect women’s health, work and identity.  I will be part of a panel discussion taking place after the film with several other healthcare providers.  Entry is by donation. 

The second event is The Tools for Transformation Health X Summit on May 16th in Paonia at the KVNF Community Room from 1-5:30 pm.  It’s like a TED X summit but for health and wellness.  Join us for an afternoon of inspiration and practical information to elevate your health and well-being.  Eight of us will be putting on short presentations followed by a documentary called Heal.  Enter through the back door in the alley. 
Special guest; Los Angeles-based Mobility Specialist and Personal Trainer Joshua Haag, will be teaching a free workshop on Improving Spine Health and Healing Back Pain before the summit from 9-11 am at KVNF. 

I hope to see you at one or both of these incredible events!

Hello Everyone,
I will be hosting another webinar with Vasi Smith of the Thrive Community this Wednesday night at 7 pm called  “What Every Woman and Her Partner Should Know About Perimenopause and Menopause”.

The menopause transition can be confusing–for the person experiencing it and for their loved ones.  In this webinar, partners will learn what perimenopause and menopause really involve, why symptoms occur, and how these changes can affect mood, energy, sleep and relationships.  We’ll discuss treatment options as well as practical ways to show support, improve communication, and navigate this stage with empathy and understanding.  The webinar will be held on March 25th at 7PM.

Hello Everyone, 
As I mentioned in my previous newsletter, a Spring Cleanse can be a great way to reduce seasonal allergy symptoms by reducing the total burden of allergens and toxins in your system.  I also recommend doing a cleanse if you are feeling tired, bloated, foggy brained or have hormonal symptoms such as PMS and acne. 

The cleanse that I prescribe consists of recipes for two weeks of a clean, low allergen diet, a special protein powder to support liver detoxification, a high quality probiotic and lifestyle and movement recommendations. 

Please let us know if this is something that you are interested in or have questions!
