At Bitterroot Integrative Health & Wellness, we get to the ‘root’ cause of the symptoms.

Our bodies are created with feedback systems to heal themselves. However, these feedback systems are often blocked by disruptions to normal cellular function and cellular health. Such disruptions are often brought on by toxins in our environments, toxins in the foods and medications we have consumed, nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and heavy metals.

At your initial examination, we will be collecting a wide range of information which allows us to put together a full picture of how your body has been impacted by life and exposures, digging down to the root causes of unwanted symptoms which are a result of disruptions to your normal cellular function. This guides is to help you toward truer healing, so you can feel and function at your best. We offer the following services to help reach your health goals.

Adrenal Function

The “wired and tired” feeling, sleep disruption, stress intolerance, and exhaustion are no fun to experience. We will help support and repair adrenal and cortisol imbalances for better energy levels, better sleep, and smoother adapting to stressors in your life and body.

Thyroid Dysfunction

Whether the thyroid is over productive, underproductive, or affected by autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto’s Disease) we will perform a full assessment, looking at all the thyroid markers in labs, and help provide adequate balance so that your energy levels, metabolism, and other system functions are restored to a healthy balance.

Autoimmune Diseases

Conditions such as Hashimoto’s Disease, Sjogren’s, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Raynaud’s, Interstitial Cystitis and others can severely impact your life in negative ways. We do a thorough assessment, looking at all lab markers, antibody markers, and help identify triggers, such as intolerant foods which often cause flares of the conditions. We then implement integrative therapies, using a mix of nutrition, supplements and specially compounded medications to help reduce flares, reduce antibody levels which in turn reduce symptoms to better manage these autoimmune conditions.

Digestive Disorders

Any symptoms of gas, bloating, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea all point toward disruption of normal absorption and digestion within the intestinal tract. These disruptions lead to deficiencies, which then manifest in almost every other system in our bodies. We will help by identifying the underlying causes whether it is leaky gut due to cellular injury in the intestinal walls, imbalances of normal flora that aids in digestion including SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), or other toxins such as heavy metals, parasites, etc. We will create a customized plan that helps detox your body of the irritants and toxins, replenish and restore the deficient nutrients so that you can enjoy a healthy digestive tract, feel less gut discomfort, and promote overall improved immune support and health.

Female Hormone Health

Peri- and menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, fatigue, anxiety, memory issues, brain fog, irritability, mood swings, vaginal dryness, or itching, hair growth on face, loss of sexual interest can be modified with adequately balanced hormones. Balanced hormones of estrogen, testosterone and progesterone have cardioprotective benefits as well as aid in maintaining adequate muscle mass which also contributes to bone health as we age. We provide hormonal testing and will create a customized hormone therapy using compounded bioidentical hormones to supplement your body’s waning production to help alleviate unwanted symptoms to support continued aging with strength and grace.

Chronic Fatigue

Are you tired of always being so exhausted? We can help! Chronic fatigue can result from many different sources of deficiencies and cellular dysfunction. We will help identify the root cause, and then provide a customized plan to remove any toxins, including heavy metals, and replenish nutrients for cellular health to allow your energy levels be restored from the cellular level so you feel a marked improvement in overall energy levels and well-being.

Sleep Disruption

Sleep disruption can result from imbalances of adrenal function, resulting from hormonal imbalances, psychosocial stressors, or long-term health problems. We will help to identify the underlying causes, support healthy sleep habits, and address hormonal or adrenal dysfunction to help you get a better, restorative night’s sleep.

Environmental and Food Allergies

Our bodies build antibodies to reactive foods and environmental irritants. These can cause a mast-cell response or what we call the “red, hot, itchy rash” or they can cause immune responses that then impact our body as a whole, blocking normal functions and causing unwanted symptoms such as migraines, digestive unrest, rashes, fatigue, brain fog, and joint and muscle pain. We use various specialized testing to determine which foods and substances cause your body to react, then help you implement a plan to avoid these irritants so that you can enjoy relief.

Cardiometabolic Health

Chronic inflammation, nutrient deficiency, gut imbalances and poor lifestyle choices all contribute to problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. We will create a customized plan to help reduce the chronic inflammation, better regulate glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity, as well as help restore gut health, and implement healthier lifestyle choices.

Migraines & Headaches

Headaches are multifactorial. Often, they can be related to food intolerances, toxic exposures, musculoskeletal issues , or hormonal imbalances to name a few. We work to address the causes and help create a plan customized to you for relief with decrease in frequency and intensity of head pain. We also have therapies to cut migraine pain immediately. 

Skin Disorders

Skin disorders are often a direct reflection of gut health. Conditions such as rosacea, acne, dermatitis can often result from gut imbalances, and food intolerances. We will provide a customized plan to help identify intolerances, irritants, and deficiencies, then implement a customized plan to remove the irritants and intolerances, detox and help heal the gut, and replenish deficient nutrients so that skin returns to its healthy vibrant glow.

Joint & Muscle Pain

Often the increase in achy joints and muscle pain is not just ‘normal aging’ but related to inflammatory processes. Sometimes they are related to injury or the wear and tear resulting in osteoarthritis or other soft tissue injuries. We can help identify the root cause of the pain, whether of a musculoskeletal origin, or overall inflammatory process, and then implement therapies such as joint injections, prolotherapy*, PRP* (platelet rich plasma) to help reduce the pain, reduce the inflammation, and help heal painful joints, to let you return to your active life without the added pain and stiffness. 

*Note: prolotherapy and PRP would be available soon.

Immune Support and Healthy Living

We love to support proactive healthy habits and practices before disease and unwanted symptoms occur. We can help identify any health risks and customize a nutrient and diet plan to help you maintain a strong immune system and maintain a strong and healthy lifestyle. When those pesky colds and viral illnesses do catch you, we can help treat and strengthen your immune system to reduce the frequency of their return. 

IV Nutritional Therapy

We are excited to offer IV nutrient therapy. This is a custom mix of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and hydration to address almost every condition listed above. Benefits of IV Nutritional Therapy are that all the nutrients are 100% absorbed directly into your blood stream and are not wasted by compromised gut absorption. This can significantly aid in immune support especially when battling pesky cold and flu symptoms to get you back to feeling fantastic again. Nutrient IV infusions can be a game changer for tired and achy muscles after physical exercise or for athletes preparing for or recovering from the next game or completion. IV nutritional therapy can support autoimmune conditions, glucose sensitivity conditions, aid in gut and wound healing and help make brain fog a thing of the past. Our IV’s are custom mixed for you to ensure optimal freshness and efficacy. They are mixed on site under a pharmaceutical grade mixing hood following USP 797 guidelines.
