Support Through Grief
Grief can affect every part of our lives, bringing feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, confusion, or loss. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, a health challenge, or a major life change, you do not have to face it alone. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can express your emotions and honor your unique experience. Through conversation, reflection, mindfulness, and spiritual support, we can explore ways to navigate grief that feel meaningful to you. My role is not to provide quick solutions, but to walk alongside you as you find healing, resilience, and hope.
Methane SIBO and Chronic Constipation
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when excessive microbes grow in the small intestine. In some individuals, these microbes produce methane gas, often through methane-producing archaea. Research has shown that methane can slow the normal contractions of the digestive tract, leading to impaired gut motility. As food and waste move more slowly through the intestines, symptoms such as chronic constipation, bloating, abdominal discomfort, and a feeling of incomplete evacuation may develop. At Uptown Integrative Health, we offer comprehensive SIBO breath testing and individualized treatment plans designed to address the underlying causes of methane production and help restore healthy digestive function.

With convenient delivery and thoughtfully sized portions, Heart to Home Meals® helps make balanced, healthy eating easy every day.
Your Annual Denture Check-up
Has it been a while since you’ve last had your dentures checked? Full dentures, partial dentures, and dental implants all need the same level of care as natural teeth. If you wear dentures or have implants, it doesn’t mean you’re off the hook for maintaining great oral health. Routine checkups help prevent any major oral problems from developing and allow for planning any changes your dentures require to ensure you’re never without your teeth. With yearly checkups, your dentures will continue to perform properly and your maintained oral health will mean shorter and smoother visits!
Celebrate You!
July is the perfect time to celebrate Self Care Day by treating yourself to something simple and uplifting. Fresh flowers can brighten a room, improve your mood, and create a sense of calm in your home. Taking time to enjoy nature’s beauty is a wonderful way to reduce stress and add joy to your daily routine. Instead of waiting for special occasions, consider a monthly flower membership. Regular deliveries ensure you always have fresh blooms to enjoy, making self care easy and consistent. Give yourself the gift of beauty, relaxation, and happiness all year long with fresh flowers.
Warm Weather, Higher Wart Risk
Summer activities can increase the risk of developing warts, especially plantar warts that appear on the soles of the feet. Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which thrives in warm, moist environments such as swimming pools, locker rooms, and public showers. Walking barefoot in these areas can make it easier for the virus to enter through tiny cuts or breaks in the skin. To reduce your risk, wear sandals in public wet areas, keep feet clean and dry, and avoid sharing towels or footwear. If a wart develops, your pharmacist can recommend treatment options and prevention tips.
Ocular Discomfort and Eye Fatigue
If you experience blurry or double vision, eye discomfort, or daily headaches with vision at work, you could be dealing with eye fatigue related to extensive eye use in a challenging visual environment. Contributing factors can include eye muscle or eye focussing inadequacies, dry eyes, improper computer ergonomics, eye refractive changes, over exposure to low wavelength light, and underlying health conditions. A complete eye exam that includes a good case history, testing of visual functions, ocular health assessment, and an understanding of treatment options, are all important to diagnose and manage the problem.
