Toledo Naturopathic, Dr. Maleigha Watts

Toledo Naturopathic, Dr. Maleigha Watts Investigating the root cause of chronic health concerns and sharing lessons learned along the way! Dr. Watts has been serving NW Ohio for the past decade.

Toledo Naturopathic offers a spectrum of care: for those that are seeking preventative care, to those with more complex health histories that require more advanced holistic care. Dr. Watts believes in investigating and addressing the root cause(s) to health concerns, in empowering patients to be engaged in their health and healing, and advocating for her patients by serving as a bridge between the

holistic and traditional models of medicine. Dr. Watts completed undergraduate studies locally at the University of Toledo and then moved to Tempe, Arizona for 5 years to train at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (1 of 6 nationally accredited, 4 year naturopathic medical programs in the US). She completed an internship with Dr. MaryK Geyer in Phoenix, Arizona thereafter with an emphasis in primary care medicine. Although the state of Ohio does not license Naturopathic Physicians at this time, Dr. Watts continues to maintain a license in Arizona which requires active involvement in Continuing Medical Education hours (30+) each year.

Well, it's been a morning to say the least.

We woke up this morning after the storms to our house smelling pretty horrible and we couldn't find the source. Columbia Gas came out right away and found 3 gas leaks in our basement which will need to be corrected by a plumber, hopefully this afternoon. The gas has been shut off in the mean time. Of course headed into a holiday weekend.

As I was packing up to head to work (very late, and a couple canceled patients later--apologies to my patients) I saw Turk sniffing out in the yard...something black and white. πŸ™„

It turns out that Ottie killed a skunk in the wee hours of the morning, got sprayed, and came back in the house wreaking to high heaven.

So we get to pay a plumber to fix the leaks (very glad we are safe and this didn't have bigger consequences). And spend the next week or so trying to get the skunk smell out of our house and off of Ottie.

If anyone has suggestions for skunk odor, I am ALL ears.

Some recent behind-the-scenes:

βœ… A patient had a flare of symptoms taking place that has been a mysterious pattern for them over the years. Amidst our appointment they were able to get set up with their P*P same day. Symptoms were relayed to the P*P before the patient arrived to their office. Labs drawn, answers found. πŸ’ͺ

βœ…Having great rapport with one P*P that led to an introduction to another P*P. More resources for patients and more opportunity for teamwork. The best of both worlds; modern and naturopathic. πŸ™Œ

βœ…Receiving a text from a colleague asking for a basic walk-through of mold/mycotoxicity for one of their cases. A last minute appointment cancellation in the day made room for a teaching phone call. πŸ‘Š

There's so much more to "doctoring" than the face-to-face time.

"I make the big money. You get paid in praise."--said with a smirk--are probably some of the most condescending words that have been said to me, by someone that supposedly loved me.
..

Fast forward to my absolute marvel of a husband, Kirk. We've had some long days and good conversations lately and the other day he called me an "extraordinary human". πŸ₯Ή "You struggle because you're on a whole other level of human than everyone else. Few people can do what you do." 😭 And well folks, that's a healing salve on a bruised soul.

This is my person.
..

The longer I am in this profession, the more I understand how complex health is. Every time I think I know a lot, I realize the depth of the iceberg.

Despite health's complexities, I also have come to understand how simple some healing can be. The food and water we put in our bodies, the amount of sleep we prioritize, spending time in nature, moving our bodies, building lives we don't have to run away from. No pill, herbal or prescriptive, has that level of healing capability.

Likewise, who you spend your time and energy with and on, is going to impact you on a physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic level. Choose wisely.

And defend that sh*t like your life depends on it.

Even in her passing, Dolly continues to do good. This morning my feed was full of interviews, videos, letters, stories, of her humanitarian work. That, my friends, is a legacy and life well-lived. The world should be taking notes.

May we all spread a little Dolly, today. πŸ€—

It is wild to re-share this post, as last time I did, it seemed the event was so far off. Now it's only 5 weeks away! 😳😍

Thank you Zonta Club of Defiance for having me as your Keynote Speaker this year. I appreciate the opportunity. It will be fun to share a naturopathic provider's perspective of women's health. My only challenge is keeping this talk concise as I always seem to have a lot to say. πŸ˜…

Looking forward to supporting a great cause, seeing familiar faces, and meeting some new ones.

I also happen to have 4 tickets to the event that are going to need a loving home. My 15 year office anniversary is really soon, so this seems like perfect timing to have a Giveaway in the near future. Stay tuned πŸ˜‰

I spent so many of my early working years answering the phone for Woodard Photographic that it just naturally comes out, still.

I have been a one woman show this week and I am pretty sure, while answering my own office phone yesterday, that I answered with, "Thank you for calling Woodard Photographic, how may I help you?"

The caller was unphased and just kept talking.😳

Now, all I need to come completely full circle in career reminders is to have a restaurant dream tonight where I forgot the Diet Coke for table 120 and the Spin-Dip has been 86'd but I put in an order anyway.

Anyway: if you're needing anything this week, you might hear my voice on the other end. And I may or may not know who I am working for. πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

Ever have those moments where you think "Duh, why didn't I think of that sooner?"

This is one of those moments.

The timing for creating this was perfect--a young Type A twenty-something-sweet-pea-of-a-patient asked that we send an agenda prior to meeting so she could be prepared--while also this provider here was flustered for constantly running late and trying to figure out solutions that didn't involve extending appointment times/and thus cost of appointment sessions.

Enters Room: The Catch Us Up Form!

If you are a current patient with us you can expect to be receiving the Catch Us Up Form (AKA Ketchup Form) that will come to your Inbox prior to each scheduled follow up. The purpose of this form is to literally Catch Us Up--to get your mind grapes pondering prior to meeting and to help my mind grapes be prepared. This will help to make the most of our time together, the most of your $$, and *hopefully* help me to better stay on time.

Catch Us Up includes things like:
What's happened since your last appointment?
What worked?
What didn't work?
What did you have side effects to?
What do you need help with?
What questions do you want to make sure we answer?
What recent labs have you had done and can you attach them to the form?

This form will be sent 2 weeks prior to your scheduled appointment time and we *kindly* ask that this is completed no later than 2 days prior to meeting (as this is when I'm reviewing your case).

Business and practice owning is basically a bunch of trial and error. But we are hoping this is a helpful tool for all involved!

Was running errands yesterday and stopped at our favorite Asian Grocery to pick up rice (for the dog food we make for the pups). Sadly, the store is closing, so I bought a couple of bags to stock up. Threw these bags over a shoulder, walked around the store for a bit, and headed out to the car. As I plopped them in the trunk I realized, I just threw these bags around like they were tiny little dumbbells. πŸ’ͺ

Strength training does a body good, apparently. 😎

Oh, in other news: Past Me must have felt overworked as I gave Future Me a surprise day off (today)! We are out of the office and will be back on Wednesday. πŸ€—

Little Baby Earl was having a ball in our sunflower garden this morning, chomping away. πŸ₯°

Speaking of chomping...

A reminder that the American Gut Project studied the stool analysis and thus microbiomes of thousands of people's samples across America, the UK, and Australia and ultimately found:

People that had 30 or more different kinds of plants in their diet per week had more diverse microbiomes than those that had less than 10 kinds plants per week. They also found less antibiotic resistance in the 30+ plant eaters as well. (Plants: veggies, fruits, beans, peas, lentils, nuts, seeds, whole grains)

Your gut microbiome is like the world. It will thrive and excel in a state of diversity. πŸ₯°

Eat more varieties of plants, please.

"Halp!", I told Brittny Lynn Studios yesterday. "Perimenopause! I lost my p**f!"

"What?"

"My hair used to p**f and now it just hangs flat."

"Well I certainly need to take your hair higher up and add more texture. That's easy. How do you style it?"

"Huh?"

"How. Do. You. Style. It?"

"Er. I blow dry it?"

""Ooook let's start there then." πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

And off we went. More texture. And better blow drying and styling technique. My p**f is back.

It pays to let the professionals be the professionals. Things generally turn out better and more efficient that way. "I shoulda done that sooner."

Ahem. This scenario could be applied in any profession. πŸ˜…πŸ˜‰
