My First Visit to a Naturopathic

I was frustrated and uneasy about my medical care.....I mentioned it at small group and one of the gals suggested a Naturopathic Doctor... an answer to my prayers? I decided to call & make an appointment. I needed help and I needed help NOW! Today was my first appointment and I have to tell you so far I am impressed. Why, you might ask...it was a whole different experience. We talked a lot, she was warm friendly and frankly I felt like she cared about my health. Why this sudden change you might ask, I got a wake up call about 2 weeks ago. I had been struggling with headaches, swelling. sinus issues and sleep problems. Well, when I checked my blood pressure it was 155/98...yeah scary...I made an appointment the next day for a couple days later. When I went in it felt rushed...I don't know really how to describe it but leaving I just decided I was done with that Doctors office. I needed to find another way, I needed help and I didn't just WANT another prescription (does that make sense?) So today was my first appointment and after that I realized that it is a life change but a good one..no a grrreat one! We talked about my medical issues and I explained what I wanted...like to NOT be on blood pressure meds and to have more energy, get more sleep..etc. etc. I left there with 4 bottles of vitamins/supplements and a 3 week allergy elimination diet....I got some work to do :0) So I thought that it would be fun to blog about this journey/change. Share my thoughts on this Naturopatic approach and maybe give others tips. I am a busy mama so changing my life ways is going to be a process but I really want this...I want to feel better and I really want to do a more natural approach to my health care! Join me on the journey! Day 1 starts tomorrow...here I go.........
