Nutritional programs individualized to meet your needs

Dieticians in Milwaukee, WI & Waukesha, WI

Nutrition, nourishment, or aliment, is the supply of materials – food – required by organisms and cells to stay alive. In science and human medicine, nutrition is the science or practice of consuming and utilizing foods.

Nutrition is a molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics advance, nutrition has become more focused on the steps of biochemical sequences through which substances inside us and other living organisms are transformed from one form to another – metabolism and metabolic pathways.

Nutrition also focuses on how diseases, conditions and problems can be prevented or lessened with a healthy diet.

In addition, nutrition involves identifying how certain diseases, conditions or problems may be caused by dietary factors, such as poor diet (malnutrition), food allergies, metabolic diseases, etc.

A common place for nutritional medicine is in restoring proper cholesterol levels or blood sugar levels.

It is important to understand the genetic modification that has taken place in our food sources today along with the processed foods that make up a large part of our daily diet and how they affect our bodies and the diseases that we face today.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Written by Serenity Health Care Center on . Posted in Adrenal Fatigue, General Health.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Managing complex health conditions with Functional Medicine

Are you tired all the time? Are your daily living activities impacted by persistent fatigue?

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS or ME*/CFS) is more than being tired all the time. People with ME/CFS are so fatigued that it interferes with daily lives and can make prevent them from functioning or caring for their families and maintaining a job, while others are severely disabled and even bedridden. Some people dealing with extreme fatigue also suffer from flu-like symptoms and chronic pain.

*CFS is also known as ME, which stands for myalgic encephalomyelitis. Myalgia means muscle pain, and encephalomyelitis means inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.

Is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome a “real” condition?

The healthcare practitioners at Serenity Health Center are often asked, is  chronic fatigue syndrome real?  The answer is a definite Yes! The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that the first credible evidence of a biological basis for ME/CFS came in 2006, when 20 researchers from different specialties linked the illness with genes involving the sympathetic nervous system and the HPA axis. These genes control how your body responds to things like injuries and stress.

Many other researchers believe that some cases of ME/CFS are caused by an abnormal reaction to common infectious agents. The condition is tentatively linked the Epstein-Barr virus, enteroviruses, human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) and Lyme disease.

Multiple studies suggest that the immune system may be chronically active in people with ME/CFS, which could make your body think it’s fighting an infection, whether it is or not, and that causes a chronic inflammatory response eventually depleting the body from its ability to fight, depleting hormone production and causing severe fatigue.

Who is at risk for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

While many questions remain and researchers continue to explore possible causes and risk factors for CFS, there are some agreed upon characteristics that suggest who most are at risk for CFS:

  • CFC affects women four times more frequently than men. But men can develop CFS.
  • CFC primarily occurs in people in their 40s and 50s.
  • CFS occurs in all ethnic and racial groups and in countries around the world.
  • CFS may have a genetic link.

How is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome treated?

At Serenity Health Center, we employ various treatment options for treating CFS. These therapies include:

  • Evaluating infectious processes
  • Using biofeedback to determine if there are organ deficiencies, genetic mutations, and metabolic conditions.

If you would like to be evaluated for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, please call and schedule a consultation with Dr. Debra Muth or Amy Hoffman, NP at 262.522.8640

Environmental

Environmental Allergies

allergy testing to uncover the cause of your immune system reaction

If you have environmental allergies, you may be dealing with symptoms such as; sniffling, sneezing, coughing, itching, brain fog or even headaches. It is not all in your head, it’s your surroundings that are causing the problem. The good news is that you are not doomed to days of misery. The key is to avoid or eliminate airborne allergens, but sometimes you cannot avoid them.

What are some of the most common environmental allergens, and what can I do to limit exposure?

Pollen Allergens

  • Pollen, can be from grass, trees, hay fever, or weeds, it is the most common allergen that triggers symptoms, and it is very difficult to avoid.

Indoor Allergens

  • Though pollen allergy is likely to attack when you’re outdoors, indoor allergens such as dust mites puts you at risk of experiencing symptoms while you’re indoors, including in your own home. One way to combat dust allergens is to use an air purifier, dust covers on your mattress and pillows. Carpet should be removed and floors should be vacuumed or wet mopped daily to reduce the dust load.

Pet Dander Allergens

  • Pet dander is a common allergen, and it is not just dogs and cats, people can be allergic to horses, rabbits and even gerbils. You don’t necessarily have to part with your pet in order to lower your exposure to this environmental allergen. Keeping the pet out of your bedroom and off your bed is first and foremost with an allergen. Treating animal allergens can help you keep your pet.

Mold Allergens

  • Mold allergies can act up during the fall months, they may be caused by mold and mildew. To reduce your exposure to outside mold spores, avoid piles of leaves and thin out vegetation. Mold allergens can be very problematic if there are high amounts of mold spores in your home as well. You should inspect your home for mold growth in your basement, bathrooms and on the outer walls of the homes. Black mold is a toxic form of mold that can make you very ill and affect the nervous system. Special mold remediation should be done in the home to make it safe.

Environmental Factors

Cigarette smoke is usually more of an irritant than an allergen, but it can increase symptoms if you have other environmental allergies.

Cockroaches have been documented to cause severe asthma and bad allergies, and are very common.

Diagnosis and Treatment

At Serenity Health Care Center, our healthcare practitioners individualize treatments for patients based on seasonal and environmental allergies, or those with more complex allergies. Serenity Health Care Center is one of the few practices that offer sublingual immunotherapy for allergy treatment.

A precise diagnosis is needed to customize treatments and provide environmental risk factor reductions.

For more information on sublingual antigen therapy, visit Treatments for Airborne allergies.

Heavy Metals

Heavy Metals

testing and detoxification protocols to treat toxic mold illness

What are your exposure risks to heavy metals?

Heavy metals overload can cause adverse health effects in human metabolism (including lead, cadmium, and mercury) present obvious concerns due to their persistence in the environment and documented potential for serious health consequences.

Heavy metals are ubiquitous in the environment from air, groundwater contamination and cigarette smoke.  It is not possible to completely avoid exposure to toxic metals (Singh 2011). Even people who are not occupationally exposed carry certain metals in their body as a result of exposure from other sources, such as food, beverages, or air (Washam 2011; Satarug 2010).

What are some of the damage caused by heavy metals?

Acute heavy metal intoxications may damage the following:

  • Central nervous function
  • Cardiovascular and gastrointestinal (GI) systems, lungs, kidneys, liver, endocrine glands, and bones (Jang 2011; Adal 2013)

It should also be noted that chronic heavy metal exposure has been implicated in several degenerative diseases of these same systems and may increase the risk of some cancers (Galanis 2009; Wu 2012).

Most people deal with stored heavy metal issues, increasing the risk for osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s disease.

Can you limit your health risks to heavy metal toxicity?

At Serenity Health Care Center, our practitioners can advise you how to reduce your metal toxicity risk.  By incorporating lifestyle choices that diminish the probability of harmful heavy metal uptake, such as dietary measures that include avoiding plastics, cooking in microwaves, using aluminum cookware or cans, and using water purifiers to name just a few ways to assist in promoting the safe metabolism or excretion of ingested heavy metals.

Can I be evaluated for heavy metal toxicity?

Heavy metal testing can be done very easily and can be treated either naturally or through traditional medical means.

IV Nutritional Therapy

Written by Serenity Health Care Center on . Posted in General Health, Men's Health, Women's Health.

IV Nutritional Therapy

IV nutritional therapy provides improved health and a better quality of life

Patients with a variety of chronic health conditions can benefit from IV nutritional therapy at our functional medicine clinic near Milwaukee. IV nutritional therapy provides valuable nutrients, improves metabolism, boosts energy and offers immune support.

A nurse draws blood from the arm of a smiling older man seated in a medical exam room, where patients also receive IV nutritional therapy for enhanced wellness.

How does IV nutritional therapy work?

IV nutritional therapy consists of a series of IV infusions that take place at our functional medicine clinic near Milwaukee. Patients receive nutrients through an IV in the arm. The process takes between 30 minutes and six hours, depending on the patient’s needs.

This type of therapy works so well because it delivers vitamins, amino acids, minerals and other critical supplements directly into the bloodstream. IV nutritional therapy allows these nutrients to bypass the gastrointestinal (GI) system. This is significant for two reasons.

  • When nutrients are delivered to the bloodstream, they are fully absorbed, something that cannot happen if the GI system is damaged or inflamed.
  • Bypassing the GI system allows our practitioners to deliver much higher doses of nutrients to the patient than is possible with oral doses.

Why do gastric bypass patients and people with GI tract damage need therapy?

IV nutritional therapy is particularly useful for patients who have had gastric bypass, a surgical weight loss procedure. It can also benefit patients who have suffered damage to their GI tract due to viruses or bacteria, or who have conditions that affect absorption, including hydrochloric acid, or digestive enzyme, deficiency. Patients who lack the friendly gut bacteria needed to aid in proper digestion also benefit from IV nutritional therapy.

Damage, inflammation or deficiencies in the GI system make it nearly impossible for the patient’s body to absorb therapeutic doses of nutrients or medications. Directing the nutrients to the bloodstream ensures that all the nutrients reach the patient at the cellular level, bringing them the health benefits they so desperately need.

What other conditions benefit from this treatment?

Patients who have chronic problems, such as hypertension, asthma, HIV, Parkinson’s disease and congestive heart failure, respond well to IV nutritional therapy. Here are two lesser known conditions that also respond to treatment.

  • Metabolism disorders. People with metabolism disorders may not be able to convert the nutrients from the food they eat into the active form or metabolite. With IV therapy, the active metabolites are delivered directly to the cells without the body having to use energy to activate them.
  • Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS. People with this syndrome may have problems maintaining adequate hydration, but IV NACL can help.

IV nutritional therapy is a valuable treatment for patients with chronic health conditions. Contact us for an evaluation and let the experienced practitioners at our functional medicine clinic near Milwaukee put you on the path to better health.

Inflammatory Diseases

Written by Serenity Health Care Center on . Posted in General Health.

Inflammatory Disease

Inflammation, the root cause of disease.

It is now believed that most or all chronic diseases may have the same trigger: inflammation. This inflammatory process has been linked to everything from heart attacks and strokes to type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and yes even cancer!

Chronic, low-grade systemic inflammation can be caused by poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and low grade chronic bacterial infections or gum disease might explain why lifestyle-linked diseases have reached epidemic levels in the United States, while remaining rare in the undeveloped areas of the country.

Is Your Body on Flaring?

In most cases inflammation protects your body, if you cut yourself, your body would send the defense troops to fight the battle invading the bacteria to launch the inflammatory cascade. The immune system reaction involves proteins and white blood cells that come to eat the bacteria like Pac-Man.

This immune system response is the familiar scene of redness and warmth around the wound as it starts to heal. During a chronic inflammatory response, the low grade exposure to inflammation, harms rather than heals, because the immune system attack never stops.

The #1 Warning Sign of Chronic Inflammation

Do you want to know if your body is under chronic inflammation? It is easy, to measure your waist! If your waist measurement is above 35 inches for a woman or 40 inches for a man, this means you could be under low grade chronic inflammation and could be at risk for chronic illness or body of dis-ease.

Call Serenity Health Care Center to schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Debra Muth to discuss your risk and treatment for chronic inflammation.

ADHD Disorders and ADD

Written by Serenity Health Care Center on . Posted in General Health, Pediatric Disorders.

ADHD & ADD

Helthcare transition from pediatric to adult care

ADHD disorders are brain connected disorders that cause a variety of issues for children and adults. The symptoms range in severity from mild to severe. Conventional medicine treats these disorders with medical management and behavioral therapy. At our functional medicine clinic near Milwaukee, we take a different approach – we treat the whole child with biomedical treatment to help us discover any underlying medical issues.

Our functional approach to ADHD, also known as ADD, includes biomedical treatment, nutritional therapy and other alternative treatment.

There are three types of ADHD disorders

In the past, people referred to ADHD disorders as either ADD, or attention deficit disorder, and ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) now defines three types of ADHD disorders.

  • Inattentive only—formerly referred to as ADD. This is the most common form of ADHD in females.
  • Hyperactive/impulsive—the least common type of the ADHD disorders. When a child has this type, they are able to pay attention, but exhibit hyperactive and impulsive behaviors. This disorder frequently occurs in young children.
  • Combined inattentive/hyperactive/impulsive—the type of disorder formerly called ADHD. With this disorder, a child will exhibit several behaviors.

Children with ADHD disorders exhibit several behaviors, including difficulty paying attention; problems interacting with peers and family members; learning problems; impulsive acts that can be dangerous; and the need for constant motion.

Our biomedical treatment and functional approach

Greg Brown, M.D., is a board-certified internist who began practicing integrative medicine in 2008, combining conventional medicine with a functional medicine approach. Dr. Brown employs biomedical treatment to help children with ADHD disorders. A biomedical treatment approach diagnoses and treats underlying medical issues that can affect children with ADHD disorders.

No one knows exactly what causes autism, but researchers are looking at four areas that they believe impact ADHD disorders.

Gastrointestinal problems – Problems we see include diarrhea, constipation, bloating, reflux and more. These problems can be caused by yeast, “leaky gut,” or other medical issues.

Nutritional imbalances and deficiencies – A child may be underweight or overweight, show signs of malnutrition or specific deficiencies. We address nutritional issues associated with ADHD disorders with special diet recommendations and nutritional supplements known as amino acid therapy, which assists in balancing the chemicals that cause ADHD/ADD symptoms.

Immune dysfunctions – These dysfunctions can be caused by genetics or environmental issues. The child may have rashes or other skin problems, bowel problems, fevers or other health issues due to immune problems. We uncover these issues, often ignored by conventional medicine

Detoxification irregularities – Toxins are almost always ignored by conventional medicine, but toxins can build up and cause neurological problems. We test for the presence of toxins when doing a biomedical workup on children with ADHD disorders.

If the conventional medicine approach to ADHD isn’t offering what you want for your child, contact us at our Functional Medicine Clinic near Milwaukee or call to schedule a consultation at 262-522-8640.

Airborne Allergies

Written by Serenity Health Care Center on . Posted in Allergies, General Health.

Airborne Allergies

allergy testing to uncover the cause of your immune system reaction

Approximately 60 million Americans suffer from airborne allergies

About 20% of the United States population suffers from airborne allergies; however, fewer than 3% of those individuals are being treated with immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is the only treatment that changes your underlying allergic disease instead of temporarily treating symptoms. The immunotherapy we use to treat airborne allergies at our natural medicine clinic near Milwaukee involves allergy drops.

What are airborne allergies?

When your body’s immune system exhibits certain symptoms in reaction to a normally harmless substance, we call that an allergic reaction. Normally, your immune system works to fight off viruses and bacteria, but sometimes the body reacts to a normally harmless substance, called an allergen, and causes the immune system to generate antibodies called immunoglobulin E, or IgE. This signals the body to release chemicals called histamines that cause inflammation.

Airborne allergies are caused by allergens that travel through the air and enter the body through the respiratory system. There are many common household and outdoor substances that cause airborne allergies, including pollen, mold, dust mites, animal, and chemical sensitivity.

Symptoms of airborne allergies

Some airborne allergies cause seasonal symptoms, while others cause symptoms year-round.

  • Sneezing, coughing
  • Runny, congested nose
  • Postnasal drip
  • Itchy watery eyes
  • Itchy nose and throat
  • Conjunctivitis
  • Dark circles under the eyes

Some individuals with allergies also suffer complications, including sinus infections, asthma and bronchitis.

Diagnosis and treatment

We use the La Crosse Method™ when we diagnose and treat airborne allergies at our natural medicine clinic near Milwaukee. This widely used protocol involves a thorough investigation of your symptoms and your history.

On your first visit, we take a very detailed history. We will discuss your family medical history, and ask about the environment in which you live, work and spend time. From there, we perform allergy testing if we believe that you have an allergic disorder.

We primarily treat all airborne allergies with immunotherapy in the form of allergy drops. Allergy drops, or sublingual immunotherapy, is a safe, affordable, convenient method of treating airborne allergy symptoms.

If you suffer from airborne allergies caused by toxic mold, we use a multi-step approach to treatment at our natural medicine clinic near Milwaukee. Your treatment may include: immunotherapy, antifungal medications, nutritional supplements, dietary changes and other treatments that we feel may benefit your individual allergies and symptoms.

Serenity Health Care Center, our natural medicine clinic near Milwaukee, treats a patient by looking at individual symptoms and the changes they are causing in life. We treat the whole person, not just the airborne allergies. If you are looking for an effective allergy diagnosis and treatment, contact us for an appointment.

Adrenal Fatigue

Written by Serenity Health Care Center on . Posted in Adrenal Fatigue, General Health, Women's Health.

Adrenal Fatigue

A man touches his throat, highlighting the thyroid gland, next to text that reads “A holistic approach to improving your quality of life and addressing concerns like Adrenal Fatigue.”.

Patients with adrenal fatigue experience a group of symptoms that conventional medicine doesn’t recognize or treat. Adrenal fatigue is not a disease, but a collection of symptoms that are classified as a syndrome. This syndrome occurs when the adrenal glands are not functioning at their normal level. In contrast, when the adrenal glands do not function at all, it causes Addison’s disease or Cushing’s disease. At our alternative medicine clinic near Milwaukee, we treat adrenal fatigue syndrome with natural hormonal treatments and other remedies.

Stress can cause adrenal fatigue

Adrenal fatigue is related to cortisol, the stress hormone. Several situations can put the human body under stress.

  • Emotional or psychological distress
  • Physical injury or illness
  • Physical exhaustion
  • Environmental toxins

When the body is stressed, the adrenal glands produce cortisol, which regulates many bodily functions and the way they respond to stress. These functions include immune responses, metabolism and central nervous system functions. A person with adrenal fatigue doesn’t produce enough cortisol, and this has a negative effect on the body and quality of life.

Our experienced practitioners recognize the symptoms of this syndrome

Many conventional medical doctors do not acknowledge adrenal fatigue. They also don’t diagnose or treat the syndrome. At our alternative medicine clinic near Milwaukee, our practitioners have the knowledge and expertise to diagnose and treat this syndrome, helping our patients improve their lives and feel better.

Patients should talk with our medical staff if they have any of the following symptoms.

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Weight gain
  • Dizziness
  • Headaches
  • Anxiety or panic attacks
  • Depression
  • Low libido
  • Fertility problems
  • Low blood pressure or blood sugar readings

Patients who present these symptoms may be evaluated for adrenal fatigue.

Diagnosing and treating adrenal fatigue

Our medical practitioners perform blood and saliva testing to help diagnose adrenal fatigue syndrome. A saliva test indicates whether cortisol levels are normal, and bloodwork determines whether the body is producing sufficient amounts of DHEA, testosterone, aldosterone and progesterone.

If a patient has adrenal fatigue, the practitioners at our alternative medicine clinic near Milwaukee will devise an individualized treatment program. Treatment includes hormone supplements such as bio-identical cortisol, DHEA, pregnenolone and dietary supplements. Our practitioners also recommend lifestyle changes that can help the patient return to better health.

Patients who are suffering from fatigue or other symptoms that affect daily life should contact us. The staff at our alternative medicine clinic prides themselves on providing help for problems like adrenal fatigue that conventional medicine fails to acknowledge.
