Is Your Thyroid Healthy?
The thyroid plays a key role maintaining healthy weight, energy, and mood. If you are experiencing weight gain (or loss), hair loss, abnormal menstrual cycles or changes in energy and mood, consider having your thyroid evaluated. Thyroid imbalances are more common in women but affect both women and men. Naturopathic doctors can evaluate your thyroid hormone levels, review your personal medical history and make suggestions to your diet and lifestyle that can optimize your thyroid health. Remember- “normal” on a lab test may not always mean optimal. Making small changes can make a big difference!

Nourishing Seniors, Building Communities
In retirement communities, mealtimes are vital for seniors, fostering socialization and delivering essential nutrients. To ensure a wholesome diet, communities prioritize well-balanced meals with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Seniors, prone to health risks, must maintain good nutrition to avoid weight loss, depression, and weakened immune systems. The National Resource Center on Nutrition & Aging reports over 5.5 million seniors facing food insecurity. Retirement communities address nutritional challenges by providing chef-prepared communal meals. This approach ensures proper nutrition, fosters a social atmosphere, and creates a well-rounded dining experience for residents.
BodyTalk and Vision Support
BodyTalk helps identify the body’s priorities for healing based on what the client is seeking support for. Sessions often reveal surprisingly relevant insights, highlighting areas in need of balance. Using yes/no responses from the body, practitioners tap into the brain’s awareness and stimulate focus. For example, a buildup of toxins may be affecting eye function. The liver meridian—associated with vision in Chinese Medicine—might also be involved. Because our eyes are considered “windows of the soul,” vision issues may reflect unresolved memories or beliefs. In such cases, the sense of sight becomes the priority for rebalancing.
