Other Referrals of Support:

Community Referrals:
Naturopathy/Functional Medicine:
Naturopathy & functional medicine offer different support than Western medicine. Naturopathy helps you optimize your health rather than the disease model that is only treating symptoms. Naturopathy tests for hormone imbalance such as: DHEA & cortisol that your medical doctor will only test for if you have severe symptoms. Functional medicine & naturopathy test for food sensitivities that cause inflammation with IgA and IgG testing, as opposed to IgE testing for severe allergies. www.b12love.com
Psychiatric Medicine:
There are many medications that can help you. They are not a life sentence. Sometimes you might only need medicine for 6 months or a few years. It can help so your mind and body do not get stuck in negative pathways. I recommend:

Colon Hydrotherapy
Gut mircobiome has a direct relationship with your brain health and overall wellbeing. Regular colon cleansing can help maintain healthy gut flora to digest food and utilize the nutrients from food in a sustained way. I recommend: www.cultivatedetox.com
