In doctor’s offices all over the United States, fatigue is the most common complaint by patients. It is probably the most over looked complaint that gets lost in the shuffle of the patient’s main complaint and its prescription. An in-depth look into fatigue includes ruling out many possible causes such as anemia, side effects of medications, eating disorders, insomnia, poor diet, and endocrine imbalances to name a few.
Summer is in full swing and the list of summer activities to partake in is endless. As we spend more and more time outdoors – we are prone to sunburns if proper precautions are not taken. Last week I put together a treatment plant for a patient who had gotten sunburned, Naturopathic Medicine has many effective first aid remedies! Most Americans enjoy tanning their skin but most of us don’t realize that a tan is evidence that the skin was trying to protect itself from sun damage. Sun damage can lead to premature aging of the skin, eye damage and even skin cancer.
As a Naturopathic Doctor, I spend a significant amount of time educating my patients on a healthy diet. This often means that their favorite foods get a slight makeover to make a healthier alternative. Striving to be healthy means having an open mind to try something new – try a new recipe this week!
