When my daughter was 4 months old, I had a goiter come up on my neck so of course I went to see an endocrinologist and they did blood work. I was diagnosed with Graves disease.  (Hyperthyroid) After a few months I continued to decline, feeling worse all the time. I continued to have bloodwork and told the doctor I didn't feel better but worse.  They did more labs and said the results were "Inconclusive."  With utter frustration, I decided to do my own research.  I started weaning myself off the medication and started improving.  So I knew something didn't add up.  I happened to meet a friend who recommended a physician in Tulsa that practiced natural healthcare. That's the first time I was introduced to the saliva test.  I actually had hypothyroidism and he put me on a natural, raw thyroid and suggested a liquid multivitamin and the white diet.  In 2-3 days I felt like a new person!  And continued to improve!!! Fast Forward to 7 years ago.  I was taking care of my mother with vascular dementia, running a business, homeschooling my daughter and then tried to throw in some time as a mom and wife!! I had gotten so run down and was under chronic stress for so long. I truly felt like I had a mini nervous breakdown.  At my lowest point, I searched for a Naturopathic Doctor and found one! She helped to change my health and life!.  She introduced me to food based supplements and adapt a new mindset for living and dealing with stress.  I continue to see her and have become great friends.  And she has been my inspiration and mentor to pursue this Naturopathic career path.  My hope and desire is to help and educate people to a healthier, better way of living so you can enjoy your life and feel good each day!!
