Oxalates with Dr. Donald Ellsworth

Was Popeye wrong about spinach?  Could an overabundance of “healthy” foods be harming your health?

Oxalates are natural compounds found in vegetables, fruits, nuts, and grains and are naturally created in the body as a waste product. They are not metabolized by the body and can prevent the absorption of important minerals. Eating a diet high in oxalates can injure the mitochondria, produce mineral deficiencies, contribute to kidney stones, and lead to a host of other symptoms.

Join Dr. Donald Ellsworth and Director of New Guest Success, Jill Hartland, BSN, RN as they discuss oxalates and how they affect the body. Learn about the symptoms of high oxalates, how to balance out your diet, and ways to decrease your body’s absorption of oxalates. If you’re just not feeling well and there are no explanations, think about oxalates! Sometimes too much of a good thing could be a bad thing!

For more information about oxalates, “Toxic Superfoods” by Sally Norton is a great book to reference.

Type 2 Diabetes

Approximately 35 million Americans suffer from Diabetes and about 90% of those cases are adult onset (Type 2 Diabetes)! This is a staggering statistic, although not surprising considering obesity is the main factor in type 2 diabetes.

If you suffer from type 2 diabetes, the truth is that lack of insulin is not your problem…your lifestyle habits are!

Your pancreas makes insulin in proportion to the sugar that you eat. Remember, all simple carbohydrates convert to sugar in the body. The more sugars you ingest, the more insulin your pancreas secretes into your body.

Join Dr. Hotze as he discusses Type 2 Diabetes and how to reverse course and get your health back, naturally!

Hormone Balance – Frequently Asked Questions

Hormones are special molecules that instruct our cells what to do and are vital to producing energy! As we age, our hormones can decline and become unbalanced leading to a host of symptoms that vary between men and women, depending on the hormones out of balance.

The thyroid hormone is primarily responsible for energy production and can be affected by unbalanced sex hormones (primarily testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone).  For women, the symptoms of hormone imbalance can include irregular periods, mood swings, sleeplessness, weight gain, etc. For men, the symptoms often include weight gain, muscle loss, lack of energy, low sex drive, brain fog, etc.

Join Dr. Hotze as he answers some frequently asked questions about hormone balance and how it affects both men and women!  If you have questions about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, this episode is for you!

Combat Hysterectomy Symptoms Naturally with Guest Suzette Yackell

Does your doctor really LISTEN to you?  Sometimes the best diagnosis is made by listening to patient symptoms to understand what their body needs. 

In 2009, Suzette visited Hotze Health & Wellness Center after having a hysterectomy. She was experiencing mood swings, sleeplessness, night sweats, and low energy and knew something wasn’t right.

After a thorough history, physical examination and blood work were taken, and by truly listening to Suzette’s symptoms, it was evident that she was suffering from hormonal decline and nutrient deficiencies.

She was prescribed a custom treatment program that included bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, vitamin and mineral therapy, and a yeast-free eating program that turned her life in a new direction! After 5 years on the program, she convinced her husband to take charge of his health as well, and he’s never felt better!

Join Dr. Hotze and his special guest Suzette Yackell, as they discuss her journey from suffering post-hysterectomy symptoms and gastrointestinal issues to an energetic life full of vitality!

How Thyroid Affects Weight Loss

The thyroid gland produces energy for the body and regulates the metabolism. Hypothyroidism, or low thyroid function, can lead to increased weight gain. Fluid retention and weight gain are common symptoms of low thyroid function. Hypothyroidism also causes other symptoms including fatigue, brain fog, difficulty sleeping, cold sensitivity, muscle aches and pains, hair loss, and chronic infections, just to name a few.

Did you know that fluoride can also contribute to a slow metabolism? Fluoride exposure can disrupt the body’s ability to convert the inactive to the active thyroid hormone, causing a slow metabolism. Since the 1960’s, when fluoride was added to our water supply, the percentage of Americans who are overweight has increased from 15% to 80%!

Hypothyroidism is best diagnosed using clinical symptoms. Blood tests alone may not be the best indicator because the “normal” reference range for the TSH test is very wide. Join Dr. Hotze as he discusses how thyroid affects weight loss and learn how to live a life full of energy, vitality, and enthusiasm!

Jason Gourlas, MPAS, PA-C on the ADHD/Brain Support Program

Are you seeking answers to combat brain fog and mental decline, decrease your risk of dementia, or manage the challenges of ADHD? Unlocking the full potential of your mind is essential for a vibrant and fulfilling life. Your brain, often described as the command center (or CEO) of your body, plays a pivotal role in shaping your memory, cognitive abilities, emotional well-being, and even your daily functioning, including motor skills and sensory perception.

Join Jason Gourlas, MPAS, PA-C, as he discusses the new ADHD/Brain program available at the Hotze Health & Wellness Center. It’s not uncommon to hear people say “Oh, I’m so ADD!” when they are forgetful or can’t focus or concentrate. While we used to associate ADD or ADHD primarily with children, many adults today are being diagnosed with it, as well. Before you assume you have ADHD and go to a doctor who will prescribe dangerous stimulant drugs, you owe it to yourself to find the underlying cause of your symptoms. The good news is that there are natural solutions that can have a profound impact on your brain’s vitality and performance. Our goal is to work closely with you to empower you to take an active role in your health.
