Bring Back Balance: Redeeming Women’s Wellness

Nov 30, 2018 01:33PM ● By Kristi Antley

Each stage in a woman’s life is a new milestone on the path of discovery to self-awareness. The various phases of life—ranging from puberty, routine care and maintenance and birth control to fertility, pregnancy and menopause—are often very challenging, yet filled with joy, honor and enlightenment. With each milestone comes changes in emotional, mental and physical being. Without proper education, nutrition and attention, the delicate systems of the body lose balance, heightening stress and confusion, which lay the foundation for disease and illness.    

    Competing demands on women of today to juggle multiple roles have taken a toll. We live in a society of exhausted women that are not only traditional caretakers of families, but also strong, independent leaders in the workforce, as well as keepers of the home. As a result, health issues can manifest, such as weight gain, fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, adrenal distress, digestive problems, inflammation and hormone imbalance. An integrative approach is required to take into consideration the many variables that contribute to a state of well-being, such as self-awareness and image, living conditions and emotional state, relationships, biological factors, physical activity and mobility, mental wellness, quality of nourishment, and even financial health. A trusted advocate is essential to weed through the wilderness of misinterpreted symptoms, outdated information, old-school methods, and ineffective practices to find the best treatment.

    Deborah Holland, owner of Redeeming Women’s Wellness, is ready and equipped to give you the resources and tools that you need to flourish and get the most out of life. She has partnered with women for more than 30 years through every stage as a labor and delivery nurse, women’s nurse practitioner, and certified nurse midwife. Her personal journey to health and wellness contributes to a genuine passion to guide, encourage and motivate others to make permanent lifestyle changes that will prevent illness and optimize longevity. Through evidence-based traditional therapies, alternative methods, natural supplements, essential oils, and noninvasive treatments, natural defenses and immunities are prompted to raise and patients discover deep healing within themselves.

    Instead of focusing on the absence of disease or one method of treatment, integrative medicine addresses the whole body—mind and spirit—as the patient presents needs, circumstances and concerns about immediate and long-term health. Holland creates an individualized plan of care for healing, beginning with nourishing whole foods and natural supplements because 70 to 80 percent of the immune system is in the gut. Redeeming Women’s Wellness’ Restorative Gut Program removes inflammatory foods and addresses food sensitivities that may contribute to chronic pain, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), arthritis, migraines, anxiety, depression, and other conditions. With these gentle but effective dietary changes, in addition to minimizing processed foods, the digestive process is restarted. Armed with bone broth, collagen, L-glutamine, and apple cider vinegar, the gut lining is strengthened and repaired. The addition of live “healthy” bacteria is used to improve mental imbalance, protect against food allergies, and lower blood pressure.

    Daily healthy activities, self-care, positive thinking, and smart choices become easy, natural and permanent after a few months with a directed plan of care and education. Patients are encouraged to schedule follow-up appointments to track progress, stay accountable, and ensure success. In addition to nutrition and gut health, barriers to healing, such as sub-optimal thyroid function, hormone imbalance, stress, low-quality sleep, and lack of exercise, are explored to provide the best environment for healing.      

    Redeeming Women’s Wellness’ approach to healing empowers women to take responsibility for their health through education and awareness to become the vibrant, energetic and strong people they were designed to be in every stage of life.
