FULL CIRCLE CARE

 

CONDITIONS TREATED

 

Dr. Peterson specializes in individualized treatment plans based specifically on her patients needs. A particular disease state may not look the same in every person, thus the treatments will not look the same. Dr. Peterson likes to say, “I don’t treat disease. I treat people”.  She has worked successfully with patients experiencing the following conditions, and more:

Perimenopause and menopause:  Dr. Peterson specializes in treating women who are moving through the midlife transition. Using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle supportive changes, herbs and nutrition, or whatever seems necessary for your body - can help you to ease through this potentially incredible life cycle.


Adrenal Fatigue and Thyroid Dysfunction: Adrenal fatigue and thyroid dysfunction are two very common, under-diagnosed conditions which lead to feeling exhausted and burned-out. Dr. Peterson specializes in diagnosing and treating thyroid conditions such as hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.


Digestive Disorders:  Conditions such as IBS, Crohns Disease, Candida overgrowth, parasites, chronic constipation, GERD, ulcers, etc. These conditions generally are a result of disrupted digestive function. The digestive system is central to good health and its proper function is restored through the right food choices, establishing good eating and elimination rhythms and correcting imbalances when necessary.  


Food Allergies: Specific testing for food allergies and sensitivities, including celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Dr. Peterson utilizes the latest testing to specifically diagnose how foods may be affecting your overall health.

    

PCOS, infertility, pelvic pain, vulvar and vaginal health, bacterial vaginosis and PMS:  Are just a few of the various conditions related to women’s reproductive health that Dr. Peterson can help you with.


Diabetes, hypoglycemia, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, cardiovascular disease:  Today there is an incredible amount of information about how successfully these conditions can be corrected through lifestyle choices: exercise, good nutrition, stress-management and specific supplementation when indicated. Dr. Peterson loves to educate her patients about how to prevent these conditions from becoming major health problems!


Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia:  Are often secondary to deeper conditions such as endocrine/hormone imbalances, cellular dysfunction, chronic candidiasis, hypothyroidism and/or adrenal fatigue. Specific programs for restoring your health and energy are implemented at Full Circle Care.


Acute and chronic conditions such as influenza, sinusitis, bronchitis, asthma, immune dysfunction: Natural medicine excels in the treatment of these immune-related conditions. Herbal medicine, IV therapy, specific immune supportive nutritional therapies, hydrotherapy - and the list goes on.


Depression, anxiety, post-partum depression:  Balanced mental health can be the key to joyful living. Many of our “chemical imbalances” may be the result of less-than-optimal nutrition, poor sleeping patterns, lack of exercise or hormone imbalances. Dr. Peterson may use herbal medicines, homeopathy, bioidentical hormones, nutritional supplements or perhaps recommend specific bodywork/counseling/therapy if necessary to help you feel more emotionally stable.


Breast and cervical cancer support:  Integrative cancer care is an option that is available through Full Circle Care. Dr. Peterson relies on current scientific research and the appropriate use of specific natural medicines to support conventional cancer treatment and will work integratively with conventional care providers.
