Introducing Dr. Orna Izakson:

Sleep is central to nearly everything we treat, and it's something all of our doctors work on closely with patients every day. I'm excited to share that we're now able to offer even more specialized support in this area.

Please join me in welcoming Dr. Orna Izakson, ND, RH(AHG) to Fairfield Family Health as a consulting physician. Dr. Izakson is partnering with our practice to add an additional layer of expertise for patients navigating complex or long-standing sleep challenges, working alongside your current doctor as part of your care team.

Dr. Izakson brings more than 20 years of experience as a naturopathic physician and registered herbalist. What makes her a valuable addition is her advanced, specialized training in cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and circadian sleep-wake disorders through Stanford University's Sleep Health and Insomnia Program. CBT-I is one of the most effective, evidence-based approaches for chronic insomnia.
Her consulting role may be especially helpful for patients who:

✔️Have lived with insomnia for years despite their best efforts

✔️Have been on sleep medication long-term and would like to safely reduce or come off it

✔️Would benefit from a focused, CBT-I–based approach in addition to their current treatment

If sleep is an area where you'd like additional, specialized support, particularly CBT-I, talk with your doctor or reach out to our team; we can help determine whether a consultation with Dr. Izakson would be a good fit as part of your ongoing care.

A glimpse into an incredible week in Copenhagen with Microbiome Labs with Dr. Patterson serving on the Scientific Advisory Board.

From facility tours to exploring the city together, this experience reinforced the power of bringing great minds together around a shared mission.

The best ideas often come from the conversations that happen beyond the conference room, and we're grateful for the opportunity to learn and connect together ☺️

5 Warning Signs of Lyme Disease that is Commonly Misses.

Lyme disease rarely shows up the way the textbooks describe, and that's exactly why it gets missed.

In this video, I walk through five warning signs of Lyme disease that doctors consistently overlook, from the rash most physicians misidentify to the cardiac presentation that can be fatal in young patients. If your symptoms have been dismissed or labeled as something else, this is the clinical picture you need to recognize before more time is lost.
