Post Infection Care

COVID, Lyme disease, and mold exposure can all lead to inflammation and imbalances in other chemicals throughout the body, resulting in long-term clinical complaints.

​

We take a multi-system approach, testing markers in the immune, nervous, and hormone systems to develop a comprehensive, personalized plan to restore balance in the body for symptom relief.

Natural Hormone Replacement Therapies

Women's Health

We offer a holistic  approach to women's health concerns including symptoms associated with PCOS, PMS, and menopause. At Natural Medicine of Stillwater, we assess the multiple systems involved in clinical presentation before creating a personalized treatment plan. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapies are available if needed.

​

Thyroid Health

It is estimated 1% of the population has diagnosed hypothyroidism, but up to 8% suffer from sub-clinical hypothyroid. We measure thyroid hormones to identify low and sub-clinical thyroid levels.

​

Desiccant Thyroid vs. Synthetic Thyroid Treatments

Synthetic thyroid consists of either T4 or T3, but not both. Most people are prescribed Synthetic T4 but still suffer from symptoms because they are unable to convert the inactive T4 to active T3.

​

Natural, or desiccant, thyroid contains both T4 and T3 in addition to thyroid co-factors to support healthy thyroid levels. Desiccant thyroid uses thyroid USP, which is derived from USDA pigs.

​

80% of our patients do better on desiccant thyroid than synthetic.

​

Associated Thyroid Conditions

Thyroid activity impacts other body systems. Additional testing and treatments may be recommended to fully address symptoms. Additional areas affected by thyroid imbalances include:

  • Adrenal health

  • Nervous system health

Peptide Programs

Because peptides occur naturally in the body, they are well tolerated.

Injury Repair

Peptide BPC-157 helps with healing of tendon, muscle, nervous system and ligament tissues. Patient experiencing discomfort from sprains, tears, and tissue damage may benefit from it. BPC-157 may also help to protect organs, prevent stomach ulcers, and heal skin burns.

 

Available as:

  • 1-month acute (injection)

  • 3-month injection/oral program from musculoskeletal or GI issues
     

Anti-aging

Both the peptides CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin support growth hormone releasing peptide. Growth hormone may help promote sleep, memory retention, muscle growth, fat loss and maintenance of lean muscle.

​

Available as a 3- or 6-month program. Learn more.


Weight Management

The weight loss peptide program combines Tirzepatide  and BPC-157. Tirzepatide acts on centers in the brain and suppresses appetite to help patients adhere to a reduced-calorie diet. It lowers HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus as well as reduces body weight after 40 weeks. Obesity is considered a system inflammatory condition. BPC-157 is an anti-inflammatory peptide given to help maintain long-term weight loss.

​

Available as a 3 and 6-month therapy. Learn more

The Delta Sleep Inducing Peptide may make it easier to fall asleep. It may also enhance serotonin and dopamine, brain chemicals important for mood.

IV Nutrition & Shots

​B12 Shots

Boost energy. Increase clarity. Enhance mood. B12 shots are quick and 100% absorbed  compared to oral B12, which is not well absorbed.

Methionine Inositol Choline (MIC) B Complex Shot

Also known as lipo injections, MIC shots help release fat and boost methylation and metabolism throughout the body.

​

Myers IV Drips

The Myers Cocktail includes vitamins and minerals and is administered directly into the bloodstream. This method is especially helpful in cases of poor digestion or nutrient absorption, intestinal or chronic inflammation, or poor detoxification . Requires 45-90 minutes to administer.

 

High-Dose Vitamin C Drips

IV delivery allows higher concentrations of vitamin C to be administered than can be taken orally. A blood test is required to determine tolerance and multiple visits may be needed to reach maximum dose. IV vitamin C can be safely administered during chemo and radiation.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

What is SIBO?

Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when bacteria that normally live in your large intestine migrate to your small intestine. Overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine:

  • Interrupts its primary functions; nutrient absorption and immune regulation

  • Produces hydrogen and methane gases

  • Increases ammonia and other toxic chemicals that disrupt liver health and hormone detoxing

 

When these gasses are in your small intestine, they can cause a multitude of problems and symptoms.  Studies have indicated that potentially up to 80% of patients with IBS have SIBO. A Hydrogen/Methane Breath test can easily and non-invasively help determine if SIBO is present.

​

Who Should get Tested for SIBO?

Breath testing may be be indicated if you experience any of these symptoms:

  • Gas, bloating, reflux or heartburn

  • Abdominal pain

  • Constipation or diarrhea

  • Unexplained malabsorption

  • Digestive disturbance after a stomach flu or food poisoning, antibiotics, pain killers or stomach acid-reducing drugs (may also be worse from probiotics, fiber, certain fruit/veggies or whole-foods)

  • Skin problems (Acne, psoriasis, rosacea, etc.)

  • Body pain or fibromyalgia

  • Brain fog or fatigue

  • Iron deficiency or gut symptoms when taking iron supplements

  • Cognitive dysfunction (memory, concentration/brain fog)

  • Neurological disorders including Parkinson’s Disease

  • Treatment resistant insomnia and anxiety

Laboratory Testing

Conventional Test Examples

​

Specialty Test Examples

Autoimmune Disorders

Holistic Approach to Autoimmune

Natural Medicine of Stillwater takes a holistic, comprehensive approach to assessing and addressing autoimmune disorders.  Our approach considers not only the autoimmune condition but it's impact on other systems in your body. This multi-system approach allows you to live the best life possible by minimizing the effects of an over-active immune response on the rest of the body.

​

For instance, in cases of Celiac Disease, Crohn's Disease, and ulcerative colitis, we may also consider testing for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO),  assessing the brain-gut connection, or checking for hormonal imbalances resulting from elevated immune activity.

​

Autoimmune Therapies

  • Low-dose naltrexone

  • Peptides

​

Holistic Assessments

The following tests may be recommended as part of a holistic approach:

  • SIBO breath test

  • Urinary neurotransmitter tests

  • Hormone tests
