How We Can Help at Lewis Family Natural Health
Health is complex and simple suggestions are often not enough.
What you need is a naturopathic doctor, an expert in the science of medicine as well as the art of holistic healing.
Naturopathic Medicine is Great for a Wide Variety of Health Conditions
Our patients tell us all the time they have quite a number of things going on with their health.
Their doctors, try as they might, do not have the time or the know-how to help them.
Many individuals are frustrated with the number of prescriptions that are pushed on them or that they are referred to a number of specialists because no one can figure out the root cause of their condition.
Another frustration we hear is from people trying to figure things out on their own. Whether it be from a suggestion on a website, endorsement from a social media influencer, picking up products at random from the health food store, or following a friend’s advice because it “worked for them,” many of you have tried remedies that simply haven’t worked.
We’ve had patients come to us taking upwards of 20 or 30 separate supplements in an attempt to improve their health (without success).
And what about all the confusing, conflicting, and downright hard-to-understand information on how to eat a healthy diet? It’s enough to drive you mad!
What you need is a Naturopathic Doctor, an expert in the science of medicine as well as the art of holistic healing.
You’re likely feeling this way because health is complex and simple suggestions are often not enough to help.
You need someone to make it all make sense.
And that’s exactly what we do.
The Most Frequent Conditions We Help
Naturopathic doctors work with each patient as a unique individual; therefore, we do not treat the disease states but rather the whole person. We stimulate your body’s own healing forces to bring resolution or improvement to many existing medical conditions, as well as to help prevent new issues from arising.
While we work with a variety of conditions, our practice specializes in the following:
Hemochromatosis and Iron Disorders
Our practice here at Lewis Family Natural Health has a strong connection to the world of hereditary hemochromatosis and other forms of iron overload.
In fact, we have a sister site, Hemochromatosis Help, devoted entirely to this subject.
Both doctors have written books on the subject, and Dr. Eric consults with people from around the globe about all types of iron disorders, including hereditary hemochromatosis.
PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)
Helping women with PCOS is a special passion of both Dr. Eric and Dr. Kristina at Lewis Family Natural Health. We have been fortunate to have helped many women with this complex condition.
At Lewis Family Natural Health, we don’t have a set protocol for PCOS. We work with each woman as an individual.
We know that this condition is very individualized as far as which symptoms a woman is experiencing and what underlying causes are contributing to her PCOS. We create customized, tailored plans for each of our PCOS patients that are constantly adapted and refined as her body responds and heals.
Women's Medicine and Hormone Balance
When we think about women’s health issues and medicine, we think about balance.
Often women’s health issues come down to the idea of balance. Are your hormones in balance? Is your life (work, home, stress, family, etc.) in balance? Is your emotional life in balance? Is your diet in balance?
When one thing is out of balance, the chain reaction can be extensive, leading to physical and emotional symptoms seemingly unrelated to the original imbalance yet vitally connected. Holistic medicine can restore overall balance and lead to a healthier body and life.
Digestive Health and Balance
Your digestive system is one of the most important systems in the whole body. If your body cannot properly digest and absorb nutrients and eliminate waste products, then it is difficult if not impossible to achieve optimal health.
If your gut is not happy, your body is not happy!
The naturopathic doctors at Lewis Family Natural Health are experts in restoring balance to an imbalanced digestive system.
Healthy Skin, Inside and Out
If your skin isn’t healthy, it might be a sign of something deeper.
Bringing balance to the whole person may restore balance to your skin, and vice versa!
It’s our job to help you determine the root cause(s) of your skin issues, and develop a comprehensive plan to help your overall body, as well as your skin, return to a balanced and healthy state.
