Everyone’s life is a journey. The journey may lead to various places and there are many choices along the way. Sometimes we can see out ahead and other times it is a haze and we need someone to walk alongside us that has been there or knows others who have in order to help us. It has been said that if you don’t know where you are going, any road will lead you there. The converse is true too; if you know where you want to go, choose the right roads along your journey.
Natural Options wants to help you on your Wellness Journey. So often life happens and we find ourselves just surviving each day. We get aches, pains, gas, bloating, etc. and just think it’s normal because that’s just “getting older”. Many times there’s more to it than that. Simple nutritional deficiencies can lead to other problems. Our foods available in the stores lack so many nutrients compared to what our grandparents and parents ate. The art of cooking and food preservation has been lost and so has the value of what those foods had to offer. Nourishing Traditions, by Sally Falon, is a tremendous book explaining that which we have at the store.
Many have been interested and know something has to change, but where is the best place to start? We have been helping people in this manner in many ways, but the most comprehensive is through personal evaluations and programs designed by our Naturopathic Doctor, Laurie Tripp. She looks at your body functions and symptoms from many different angles and uses the same resources thousands of doctors have used over the past 70 years to help millions of people across the world. It is a journey, but every journey starts with a small step. She doesn’t overwhelm you at the first appointment, but listens and takes time to understand. Appointments are available Tuesday afternoons and Thursday afternoon & evenings. The cost is $50 initial and $45 for follow-up appointments lasting 40-60 minutes each.
You may be asking if you need this help, or even where to start. We are also offering a mini-consultation for a brief 10 minute overview of concerns that need attention first whether it is nutritional, massage, acupuncture or other areas. These are scheduled on Thursday afternoon/evenings with Dr. Laurie.
The staff at Natural Options cares about you and helping you along your Wellness Journey in any way we can. With summer around the corner, now is the perfect time to get a plan for those fresh foods coming your way at the Farmer’s Market or in your own back yard!
