Naturopathic medicine offers a holistic approach to addressing stress and fatigue. By considering factors like diet, lifestyle, emotional well-being, and hormones including the adrenal glands and thyroid, naturopathic doctors aim to treat the root causes of these conditions. Dr. Heinitz may recommend dietary changes, herbal remedies, lifestyle modifications, and mind-body techniques to alleviate stress and improve energy levels. This comprehensive and individualized approach helps support the body’s natural healing abilities.
The topic of gut and intestinal health is particularly important to Dr. Heinitz. Now is the time to get past the taboo of talking about our gut feelings.
Gut and intestinal health play a crucial role in our overall well-being. The digestive system breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and eliminates waste. When the gut and intestines are not functioning optimally, it can lead to various health issues including poor brain function and mood changes, acne and other skin issues, irritable bowel syndrome, and poor immune system function. Naturopathic medicine offers a holistic approach to promoting gut and intestinal health by addressing the underlying causes.
Naturopathic medicine can help heal acne from the inside out, even if your acne has been resistant to topical or oral medications. It emphasizes dietary modifications, nutritional supplements, hormonal balance, gut health, and stress management to support clear and healthy skin.
Naturopathic medicine has so much to offer people who are challenged with an underactive, low thyroid or those that have thyroid autoimmunity like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. The first step is comprehensive testing. Dr. Heinitz supports thyroid health through dietary recommendations, nutritional supplements, stress reduction, herbal medicine, lifestyle modifications, and thyroid hormone prescriptions, when needed, to promote optimal thyroid function and overall well-being.
Women’s bodies and their health care needs change throughout their lives.
