At Holistic Health, we offer thermographyโ€”a completely non-invasive, radiation-free imaging service that uses infrared technology to detect and measure heat patterns on the surface of the body.

Changes in blood flow and inflammation can create differences in skin temperature. Thermography captures these heat patterns and provides a visual picture that may help identify areas that deserve further attention or monitoring.

Our thermography services include:

๐Ÿ’— Breast Thermography โ€“ A non-invasive way to look at temperature patterns in breast tissue and surrounding areas.

๐Ÿฉป Torso Thermography โ€“ Evaluates temperature patterns across the chest, abdomen and back.

Have you ever heard of PANS or PANDAS?

For some families, the changes can seem to happen almost overnight. A child who was happy, social and functioning normally may suddenly develop intense anxiety, obsessive behaviors, tics, food restrictions or dramatic changes in behavior.

So, what are PANS & PANDAS?

๐—ฃ๐—”๐—ก๐—ฆ stands for Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome. It describes the sudden onset of OCD symptoms or severely restricted eating, along with other neurological, behavioral or emotional symptoms.

๐—ฃ๐—”๐—ก๐——๐—”๐—ฆ is a specific form of PANS associated with a streptococcal (strep) infection. Researchers believe that, in some children, an immune response following an infection may contribute to inflammation affecting the brain.

๐Ÿšฉ Symptoms can include:

โ€ข Sudden-onset OCD or obsessive behaviors
โ€ข Severe food restriction or refusal to eat
โ€ข Anxiety or sudden separation anxiety
โ€ข Tics or unusual movements
โ€ข Dramatic mood or behavioral changes
โ€ข Irritability, aggression or emotional outbursts
โ€ข Changes in handwriting or motor skills
โ€ข Sudden decline in school performance
โ€ข Sleep problems
โ€ข Frequent urination or new bedwetting
โ€ข Sensory sensitivities or changes in behavior

One of the most important clues is how suddenly the symptoms appear. PANS/PANDAS symptoms can be intense and may come and go in episodes.

At Holistic Health, we believe in looking at the whole personโ€”not just the symptoms.

A functional approach may include looking at factors such as:
๐Ÿ”น History of infections and immune challenges
๐Ÿ”น Nutrition and nutrient status
๐Ÿ”น Gut health and digestive function
๐Ÿ”น Inflammation and immune balance
๐Ÿ”น Sleep and stress
๐Ÿ”น Environmental and lifestyle factors
๐Ÿ”น Overall nutritional and foundational support

The goal is to look for factors that may be contributing to the childโ€™s overall health and support the body while working alongside appropriate medical care.

PANS/PANDAS can be complex, and diagnosis requires a thorough medical evaluation. There is no single laboratory test that confirms PANS/PANDAS, and other conditions need to be ruled out.

If your child has experienced a sudden and dramatic change in behavior, anxiety, OCD symptoms, eating habits or tics, don't assume it's simply a behavioral problem.

๐ŸŒฟ Your gut health matters more than you may think!

Your gut plays an important role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, and overall well-being. When your gut isnโ€™t functioning at its best, your body may send you signals.

Some signs of an unhealthy or imbalanced gut can include:

โ€ข Bloating or excessive gas
โ€ข Constipation or diarrhea
โ€ข Irregular bowel movements
โ€ข Abdominal discomfort
โ€ข Heartburn or digestive issues
โ€ข Food sensitivities
โ€ข Feeling tired or sluggish
โ€ข Changes in appetite or cravings

๐Ÿ’š Why focus on gut health?

Supporting a healthy gut can be an important part of taking a whole-body approach to wellness. Your digestive system is closely connected to many aspects of how you feel each day, so understanding what may be contributing to digestive concerns can be a valuable first step.

If youโ€™ve been experiencing digestive symptoms or simply want to learn more about supporting your overall wellness, weโ€™d love to help.

โ€œMy experience with Holistic Health Iowa was life-changing!

After going to multiple doctors and specialists without success, I had given up. I had come to terms with the fact that I was going to be a cripple. I couldnโ€™t tie my shoes, open a bottle, or even brush my teeth. I shuffled around the house because my joints hurt so badly. I had to rest my elbows on pillows just to take the weight off my shoulder joints. It was terrible!

Then I went to Holistic Health Iowa. They tested me and discovered issues that had not been found through the multiple tests I had previously undergone with doctors.

I started treatment and went through the program twice. I also changed my dietโ€”and I am a completely new person!

I am literally pain-free! I work a full-time job now and walk between 5 and 7 miles every day.

I cannot tell you how grateful I am!โ€

Stories like this are why we do what we do. When youโ€™ve tried everything and still arenโ€™t getting the answers you need, donโ€™t give up hope.

Hormones play an important role in nearly every system of the body โ€” from energy and sleep to mood, metabolism, digestion, and overall well-being.

When hormones are out of balance, you may notice changes that can sometimes be difficult to explain or easy to dismiss.

Some symptoms that may be associated with hormone imbalances include:
โœจ Fatigue or low energy
โœจ Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
โœจ Mood changes, irritability, or anxiety
โœจ Difficulty losing weight or unexplained weight changes
โœจ Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
โœจ Changes in libido
โœจ Irregular or changing menstrual cycles
โœจ Hot flashes or night sweats
โœจ Hair thinning or changes in hair growth
โœจ Changes in skin, including dryness or acne
โœจ Feeling unusually cold or overheated
โœจ Changes in appetite or cravings

At Holistic Health, we take a personalized, root-cause approach to hormone health. We look at the whole picture โ€” your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, nutrition, stress, sleep, and other factors that may be influencing how your body is functioning.

Rather than asking only, โ€œWhatโ€™s your hormone level?โ€ we ask:

๐ŸŒฑ What is your body telling us?
๐ŸŒฑ What may be contributing to these symptoms?
๐ŸŒฑ How can we get to the root cause?

Our Functional Medicine providers take the time to understand your unique health story and develop an individualized approach to care.

Your hormones donโ€™t exist in isolation โ€” and neither should your care. ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿ“ž Wondering if hormones could be contributing to how you feel?

What Is Functional Medicine?

At Holistic Health, we believe your symptoms are often your bodyโ€™s way of telling you that something deeper needs attention. Functional Medicine takes a root-cause approach to healthcare. Instead of simply asking, โ€œHow do we manage this symptom?โ€ we ask, โ€œWhy is this happening in the first place?โ€

Functional medicine looks at the whole person โ€” including nutrition, lifestyle, stress, sleep, gut health, hormones, environment, and other factors that may be contributing to how you feel.

The goal is to look beyond the surface and uncover the underlying factors that may be affecting your health.

๐ŸŒฑ Get to the root cause.
๐ŸŒฑ Understand your unique health story.
๐ŸŒฑ Create a personalized approach to your care.

At Holistic Health, weโ€™re proud to offer Functional Medicine services with two dedicated providers who take the time to listen, investigate, and develop individualized care plans.

Because feeling better shouldnโ€™t just be about managing symptoms. Letโ€™s get to the root of whatโ€™s really going on. ๐Ÿ’š

Have you been searching for answers to unexplained health symptoms?

Electrodermal Screening (EDS) is a non-invasive wellness assessment that measures the body's electrical conductivity at specific acupuncture points. It is used to identify energetic stress patterns and imbalances that may be affecting your overall health and well-being.

Who may benefit from EDS?
โœ”๏ธ Chronic fatigue or low energy
โœ”๏ธ Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
โœ”๏ธ Digestive issues or food sensitivities
โœ”๏ธ Poor sleep or chronic stress
โœ”๏ธ Ongoing symptoms with no clear answers
โœ”๏ธ Anyone looking for a more holistic approach to their health

What can EDS reveal?

EDS may identify energetic stress involving:
โ€ข The immune system
โ€ข Digestive function
โ€ข Hormonal balance
โ€ข Nutritional needs
โ€ข Detoxification pathways
โ€ข Food or environmental sensitivities
โ€ข Areas that may warrant further evaluation for concerns such as Lyme disease, mold exposure, parasites, heavy metals, or other chronic health challenges.

If you've been struggling with symptoms and feel like you're not getting the answers you need, Electrodermal Screening may offer another perspective on your health journey.
