Lakeland Clinic is SO excited to be included in this directory!

Whether it’s helping you optimize your fertility, helping to confirm a pregnancy and decide on OB care options, or helping your family on the other side of pregnancy during the 4th trimester and beyond, I truly love being present for every stage of family growth in a way that focuses on holistic care first while leaning on a more traditional medical model when needed.

We have some exciting news!! Over the last few years, we have worked hard to create a list of perinatal (fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and infant support) providers in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. It is hard to find community when we live in such remote areas up here! We now have an ONLINE DIRECTORY of local providers to help all expecting families find resources. Our directory is still growing, so if you hop on now and don't see what you are looking for, check again soon! If you are a perinatal provider that we have not met yet, please send us your information and we can chat about adding you to the directory as well.

Here it is!: nwbirthandbaby.com

We hope you can find the right team for your family!

Happy Thursday, friends!

I wanted to chat about hormones a little bit today because they're quite the buzz word in healthcare right now. I get a lot of patients who present with hormone concerns and many of these women are in their mid-30s with concerns that they are in perimenopause. What I usually find is that they are NOT in perimenopause but many of their symptoms mimic perimenopause...because hormone imbalances and dysfunction of other kinds can create some of the same symptoms as perimenopause.

If you are struggling with fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, decreased libido, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, breast tenderness, menstrual cramping, heavy periods, irregular periods, etc. please know that there can be MANY causes for this that go far beyond just "perimenopause" and at Lakeland Clinic we always evaluate the whole patient to make sure that we aren't missing a key piece to your individual puzzle. Not everyone needs hormone replacement (definitely appropriate for some patients) and oftentimes we can make a ton of progress with lifestyle and nutrition changes as well as individualized supplement protocols that target specific hormone modulation.

If you have questions, feel free to reach out to the clinic at 715-419-6210 or you can schedule directly online at www.lakelandclinicwi.com!

This is why I talk about the importance of eating fermented foods (especially kimchi) daily with many of my patients, especially those with gut dysbiosis!

Happy Friday, friends!

I promise I’m not posting a photo of myself just because I felt cute 🤣

I’m just posting this to celebrate the fact that I’ve slowly been able to transition my wardrobe over to natural fibers and today’s outfit is 98% natural fibers (the other 2% is a little spandex in my pants) and still looks put together (and dare I say cute? 🤗)!

We’re not into excessive consumerism over here so I still have some of my synthetic fiber pieces but I strive to only purchase new items that are natural fibers.

Why does this matter? Evidence shows that synthetic fibers (polyester, Rayon, Lycra, acrylic, excessive amounts of spandex, etc) expose the body to microplastics (especially when heated—I’m looking at you, athleisure) and can contribute to hormone disturbances in men and women as well as a propensity for skin infections because it fosters an environment more suitable for bacteria and yeast.

Since I’ve switched to natural fibers I’ve noticed that my skin feels better, I sweat less, and I sleep better (100% cotton or linen sheets are incredible). When I do wear something polyester, I find that I’m more uncomfortable and I tend to get warmer faster.

You don’t have to make the switch overnight. I usually tell patients to focus on what they spend the most time in: un**es and sheets. Then, as able, expand to other items to slowly build yourself a natural fiber wardrobe over time. There are reasonably priced items (and thrift stores are a great way to find 100% cotton items as well).

Your hormones and skin will thank you over time!

If you want to dive a bit deeper into the microplastic epidemic (because yes—all the synthetic fibers listed above are essentially made of plastic), head over to Netflix and watch The Plastic Detox. It’s a fascinating and eye opening documentary on the impact of microplastics on today’s population.

Have the best autumn weekend, friends!

What better way to encourage the youth to pursue a career in healthcare than to let them start in the waiting room? 🤣

Happy sunny Wednesday, friends!

I get a lot of messages asking about my practice model and whether I practice holistic healthcare or Western based healthcare and the answer is...both!

I think it's important to always weigh individual health markers, family history, goals of care, etc when deciding on the best path forward for each patient. Typically that involves some combination of supplement protocols, nutrition recommendations, exercise recommendations, homeopathy when appropriate, as well as prescription medications when necessary.

The key is that it is all SO individual. What's right for patient A may not be right for patient B even if on the surface those two patients appear very similar. Nothing is cookie cutter.

When you come into the clinic, we spend time discussing what your concerns are, what your goals are, what kind of healthcare preferences you have, what your health looks like overall, and then we decide together based on all of that information what the best path forward is for you care.

If that sounds like a good fit for you, you can schedule online at www.lakelandclinicwi.com or by calling 715-419-6210.

Have a great Wednesday!
