    In this episode Dr. MIranda LaBant shares with us her journey to Naturopathic Medicine including her experience in Belize, her journey to Naturopathic Oncology, some of her favorite Integrative Oncology treatments, and so much more. Follow along with Dr. Miranda; IG-@drlabant https://thesantecenter.com BIO: Dr. Miranda LaBant, ND Dr. Miranda LaBant, ND graduated from National University of Health Sciences in Illinois. After receiving her doctorate in naturopathic medicine she moved to Kailua Kona, Hawaii and completed a CNME accredited residency in integrative oncology under the direction of Dr. Michael Traub, ND. Integrative and Individualized Primary care Dr. LaBant's practice combines the best of both naturopathic philosophy and conventional medicine to help her patients achieve and maintain optimal health safely and naturally. She believes in the key principle of naturopathic medicine—the body has the innate ability to health and self-regulate when given the right direction. It is this mentality that she puts forth when working together with patients and empowering them to realize better health. Using clinical expertise and focused laboratory data, Dr. LaBant is determined to uncover the underlying factors contributing to illness and help patients re-establish health and function on all levels rather than just suppressing symptoms. Integrative Oncology Integrative oncology includes well researched measures to increase the effectiveness of conventional therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation while also reducing the incidence of common side effects. Dr. LaBant incorporates evidence-based natural therapies with the intention of improving the prognosis and quality of life of those with a cancer diagnosis. Digestive Health Optimal digestion is vital to our health. Dr. LaBant treats a variety of digestive disorders including: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – Crohn's/Ulcerative colitis, leaky gut, celiac disease, food intolerances/sensitivities, food allergies and more. Many patients suffer from digestive issues with seemingly benign symptoms like gas, bloating, heartburn, or changes in bowel habits. An impaired or damaged digestive tract can lead to many symptoms caused by inflammation, infections, build up of waste products and chronic stress. Dr. LaBant works diligently with patients to optimize and restore digestive health. Endocrine Health and Hormone Balance Dr. LaBant is also passionate about balancing hormones and optimizing metabolism. Stress, aging, and chronic conditions can all impact our hormones in dramatic ways – subtle and not always so subtle. An imbalance in hormones caused by a compromised endocrine system can produce symptoms ranging from panic disorder, depression, brain fog, fatigue, and much more. Whether dealing with a thyroid condition, preparing to bring a healthy child into the world, or transitioning into the wise menopausal years, Dr. LaBant is happy to work with you to meet your goals. Dr. LaBant utilizes individualized nutrition, targeted supplementation, intravenous nutrient therapy, botanical medicine, classical and complex homeopathy, gentle biotherapeutic drainage, and lifestyle approaches to help patients reach their goals and achieve optimal wellness. When not seeing patients, Miranda can be found exploring and hiking the many landscapes of New England, weight training, or cooking up nutrient dense and delicious meals for friends and family.

Marketing can be a tricky area to navigate and one we tend to avoid because as Naturopathic Doctors we are here to serve, not sell, right?! Well that's true but as Dr. Amanda Chay explains in this episode, marketing is more about educating than it is about selling. In fact, in this episode she provides the perfect example of why we need to market more, and it's for people like her mother who don't know their options and don't know that there is so much we can do to help them improve their lives. There are still so many people that do not know what we do, what we have to offer, and how we can help them. This means that there are far too many people that are not receiving the care that could change their whole life. That is what we offer.

    Dr. Erin Edwards is a recent graduate from CCNM, a Reiki Level II practitioner with a background in Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology. Dr. Edwards recently released her first book called, A Drink Called Mindfulness: How to go from Hot Mess to Self Aware Before 30, where she uncovers her own areas of growth through vulnerability and the tools she used to shift from apathetic to awake. In the intro to the book she says that; “Spoonfuls of mindfulness each day has replaced my addiction to alcohol, has helped me grieve the loss of my father, and helped me come to terms with my sexuality.” And what I loved about reading this book was the courage it took to be so vulnerable and honest as well as the actionable mindfulness tools Dr. Edwards provides for people to apply that only take 5 or so minutes. In this episode we dive into the 4 pillars of mindfulness, identity, the different cycles that we go through in life, and how we can level up with each of those cycles through mindfulness practices.Get your copy of the book and share with your patients here; https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1777148707/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_9XDXEbNK1CD9F Get more tools by Dr. Erin Edwards;https://www.theerinedwards.com/ Follow on IG; https://www.instagram.com/theerinedwards/ Be sure to subscribe, like, and share to keep the inspiration going!IG- @nd.inspowww.ndinspo.com

I reached out to Dr. Mescon because I think that we all know it's important to stay informed but maybe we aren't sure which resources are best or available to us, so in this episode you will hear about many different resources, and not just the ones online, that you can use as well as Dr. Mescon's experience doing a Residency for those considering if a Residency is right for you. We also wanted to take a moment and note that keeping ourselves informed and educated includes educating ourselves about racism and the experiences of BIPOC so that we can be the change we need to see in our healthcare system.
