Dr. Houtan's approach to supporting fertility (in women and men) is to start with the
foundational pillars of health. Are you sleeping soundly each night? Are you
eating nutrient-rich foods? Are you building a life that brings you joy and
peace?
Once the fundamental aspects of health have been addressed, she then uses
general fertility support remedies plus specific remedies tailored to each patient
to achieve the best outcomes possible.
Hormonal imbalances vary depending on the patient. Dr. Houtan sees both women and
men who experience sex hormone, adrenal hormone, thyroid hormone
disturbances, or menopausal issues.
Dr. Houtan addresses all varieties of hormonal concerns by
viewing the patient as a whole, and balancing physiology in various ways as
needed for each individual patient.
Digestion is one of the most common concerns in patients. In naturopathic medicine, it is
said that “all health begins in the gut” — and this has proven itself to be true time
and time again!
While diet is important, food hygiene extends far beyond the food you eat.
Do you eat on the go? Are you chewing enough and with proper mechanics? Are you distracting
yourself while you eat,
or are you relaxed?
Once these important habits have been addressed, Dr. Houtan
then focuses on improving inherent digestive power through herbs and other
natural remedies.
When cellular metabolism is aberrant, nothing in the cell functions properly
and you are left with diseased tissue. Poor metabolism often leads to cardiovascular disease,
obesity,
blood sugar dysregulation (aka diabetes), chronic fatigue, the list goes on.
So, what causes poor metabolism?
In Dr. Houtan's words, "Poor metabolism (and ultimately disease) is caused by violating the laws
of nature."
The good news is, with proper guidance and a bit of hard work on your end, Dr. Houtan can get
you right back on track.
There are so many misconceptions regarding cardiovascular health.
Despite what you may have been told, meat and fat are not the enemy.
They do not inherently “cause” heart disease or vascular disease.
It is Dr. Houtan's mission to educate her patients on the true culprits of cardiovascular
disease. What cooking oils do you use? How much
sugar and processed food are in your diet? What kinds of environmental toxins are you exposed
to?
It's time we stop villifying meat and fat and get to the root of what's making us sick.
Chronically diseased kidneys are often a reflection of toxic burden and metabolic health.
With detailed care, Dr. Houtan helps her patients make the right lifestyle choices
to support proper kidney function while helping them to avoid any drugs that damage the kidneys.

The removal of toxins and the improvement in nutrient status is a great
first step towards achieving better health. This starts with the food you eat
every single day.
A good diet consists of the lowest level of toxicants alongside the highest level
of nutrients. It's important to seek nutrient dense, seasonal, and overall high-quality food.
Beyond these general guidelines, Dr. Houtan provides every person with personalized
nutritional advice that suits their particular medical and lifestyle needs.
