Healing for sensitive humans and their hounds…Coming soon to Midtown Sacramento!
📍1121 18th St (at L St)

Hi real life neighbors! I’m Dr. Natasha after the past 3 years of teaching 1,000s of people through online workshops, digital courses and virtual consultations, I’m so excited to be opening a physical space again and returning to in-person, face-to-face, hands-on healing 🤲

I specialize in gentle bodywork and Integrative MindBody Medicine for Sensitive People (and their dogs). My toolbox includes drop table chiropractic care, functional medicine lab testing, nutrition, homeopathy, energy work, cold laser therapy, infrared sauna, hyperbaric oxygen and so much more! Everything I use in practice has changed my life somehow…so I know exactly how it works and feels in my own sensitive body!

💆‍♀️My human clients are sensitive souls, artists at heart, empaths, introverts, the canaries in a coal mine… and might be struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, vague pain, digestive issues, overwhelmed and a general feeling of disconnect. In my former clinic, I particularly loved holding weekend and weeklong healing retreats for sensitive women (local and international!)

🐶 My dog clients have healed from things ranging from musculoskeletal pain, spinal misalignment, disc issues, limping, paralysis (to walking again!), hesitant to move or do certain activities, seizures, anxiety, skin and gut issues, pregnant mamas, new puppy litters, birth trauma, rescues, service dogs, conformation show dogs, agility dogs, working dogs…you name it…all dogs deserve to heal!

Of any of this sounds interesting to you, please follow along with my accounts and leave me a comment below👇 so I can get in touch with you too! 💞 See you soon! Natasha

Why “The Sensitive Approach” is different than

Why “The Sensitive Approach” is different than any other functional approach to healing:

💥 I combine multiple healing methods: mind-body techniques, functional medicine, nutrition energy medicine, homeopathy and neurology.

💥 I developed “The Sensitive Approach” based on my personal experiences with chronic fatigue, gut issues, anxiety, depression, Hashimoto’s and years of education and research.

💥 I listen to you. Unlike most Western medicine approaches, my primary goal is to see you as an individual and understand your health concerns and goals.

💥 I believe in a root cause approach to healing. The only way to truly heal is to identify and address the root cause of disease.

All jokes aside, when taking a shower started to drain my energy, I knew something was wrong ❌

Truth is: if showering, or performing any kind of daily activity (ie. laundry, dishes, cleaning, etc), is too exhausting for you, it’s time to dig deeper.

Here are some things to look at when dealing with chronic fatigue:
👉Adrenals
👉Autoimmunity
👉Gut health
👉Food sensitivities
👉Sleep habits
👉Hormone levels
👉Lifestyle choices
👉Diet
👉Chronic infection

Do you struggle with daily energy levels?

“When I Eat Something with Gluten..” GLUTE

“When I Eat Something with Gluten..”

GLUTEN POOPS

Gluten increases production of zonulin in the gut lining. Increased levels of zonulin leads to leaky gut or intestinal permeability. Enter: headaches, rashes, fatigue, brain fog, diarrhea, etc.

😣

Whenever I’ve been “glutened” (whether it’s an accident or not ) here’s what I do:

💥 Drink plenty of filtered water to help flush the toxins out of my system.
💥 Take an enzyme with DPP IV (dipeptidyl peptidase IV) immediately after.
💥 Get extra rest and limit physical/mental stress.
💥 Eat easy to digest founds like broth, bananas and applesauce for a few days.

Have you ever been “glutened?!”

SNEAKY GLUTEN SOURCES
Is gluten sabotaging your health? 🤷

Here’s the thing with gluten: it's hard-to-digest AND it blocks your body from absorbing essential nutrients.

So, the short answer: yes, gluten can be working against your health.

The key is knowing which foods contain gluten (even the sneaky ones). Look for gluten in these common foods👇

💢 Grains, like wheat, einkorn wheat, spelt, kamut, rye, barley, durum, semolina, farina, farro
💢 Modified Food Starch
💢 Dextrins
💢 Transglutaminase meat glue + tenderizer
💢 Malt Extract or Malt Vinegar
💢 Brewer’s Yeast
💢 Beer
💢 Alcohol or spirits distilled from gluten-containing grains
💢 Soy Sauce (unless is 100% gluten-free or traditional Temari)
💢 Gluten used in cosmetics or personal care products
💢 Gluten used in envelope glue

If you’re doing your best to follow a gluten free diet, but it just feels TOO overwhelming, check back tomorrow. I’m going to share the best gluten free food alternatives, like tortillas, cereal, cookies, and more!

Happy Autumn! As Summer comes to a close, I’m so

Happy Autumn! As Summer comes to a close, I’m soaking up all the Summer recipes. One of my favorite Summer sweet treats is this Lemon Gelatina- a light and refreshing dessert!

Here’s what you need:
🍋 1 cup water
🍋 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon gelatin
🍋 1 (13 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
🍋 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
🍋 1/8 teaspoon vanilla
🍋 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
🍋 1 cup lemon juice

Directions:
Follow the instructions on the gelatin to dissolve it into the water. Pour gelatin mixture into a blender and blend. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend. Divide evenly into 5 glasses. Refrigerate until set (2 or more hours). The mixture will magically separate into 2 layers. Enjoy!

If we’ve learned anything over the last couple d

If we’ve learned anything over the last couple days (scroll back through my latest posts), it’s that anxiety is not solely a mental issue. There are many causes of anxiety that stem from OUTSIDE of the brain.

That said, addressing the root cause of your anxiety is the key to overcoming it. Once you know and understand the root cause, there are many natural ways to heal your anxiety for good, including:
🚩 Healing the gut
🚩 Practicing mind-body techniques
🚩 Implementing supplements and essential oils
🚩 Various kinds of therapy

8 Reasons Your Anxiety is NOT All in Your Head! 👇

Anxiety is a mental/emotional response to stress, fear, and worry. But, most of the time, it doesn’t stem from the mind- it's actually caused by physical or physiological triggers, like:

💥 Trauma
💥 Thyroid disorders
💥 Hormonal Imbalances
💥 Inflammation
💥 Gut Issues
💥 Brain Imbalances
💥 Environmental Toxins
💥 Socioeconomics

And, there’s good news.. It is actually possible to HEAL your anxiety!

One of the most frustrating parts of autoimmunity?

One of the most frustrating parts of autoimmunity? Knowing what’s causing it!

Autoimmunity is always caused by an underlying issue or imbalance within the body. Unfortunately, healing can’t truly take place until the root cause is known!

If you struggle with an autoimmune disease, I encourage you to dig deep to find the cause. Don’t simply settle for “band aid” treatments and recurring flare ups!

Here are some of the most common causes of autoimmune disease:
❌ Food sensitivities
❌ Gut imbalances
❌ Underlying infections
❌ Mold toxicity
❌ Heavy metal toxicity
❌ Chronic emotional or physical stress

Work with a functional medicine practitioner to help test for and identify the cause(s) of your autoimmunity.

The lymphatic system just might be the missing pie

The lymphatic system just might be the missing piece in your autoimmune journey 🧩

The lymphatic system is essentially a lifeline for autoimmunity. It assists the immune system in fighting off pathogens, regulates inflammation, and carries toxins out of the body.

A healthy lymphatic system is ESSENTIAL to heal autoimmunity!

There are 6 primary ways you can support a healthy lymphatic system at home, including dry brushing and chiropractic care.

Head to my blog to get all the details on your lymphatic system and how to love it well 👉 @DrNatashaF

“She is caring, dedicated, and goes above and beyond for her clients. She has first hand knowledge about what we are going through and that helps a lot.”

During my own season of healing from autoimmunity, I never would have imagined just how impactful it would be. Not only do I get the opportunity to help others walk through their healing journey, but I can relate on a real and deep level.

You know what they say: experience is the best teacher.

Toxins are everywhere. Literally, everywhere. Yo

Toxins are everywhere.

Literally, everywhere.

You can find common toxins in your home, car, office, food, water, air, and more.

This is where detoxification comes into play!

Your detoxification system includes 6 vital organs: liver, gut, kidneys, lungs, lymph, and skin. Through these various organs, the body works to excrete toxins and waste from the body.

But, what happens when these organs get congested and fail to work properly?

Unfortunately, without proper detoxification, toxins begin to build up in the body, leading to chronic illness. Enter: autoimmunity.

Needless to say, healthy detoxification pathways are necessary in the healing (and prevention) of autoimmunity. Also, it’s always wise to limit your exposure to toxins. On a daily basis, be on the lookout for:
❌ Pesticides and herbicides in your food
❌ Heavy metals and contaminants in your water
❌ Highly polluted areas and low air quality
❌ EMF’s from digital devices
❌ Fluoride in toothpaste and water
❌ Mercury in poorly-sourced seafood
❌ Plastic in water bottles and tupperware
❌ Chemicals (ie. parabens) in beauty products

Tag a friend to spread the news about your detox system and autoimmunity!

Did you know the body is made of 500+ different pr

Did you know the body is made of 500+ different proteins?!

These proteins are responsible for building organs, muscles, tissues, and bones, which is WHY protein is such a necessary staple in the diet!

In addition to acting as building blocks in the body, protein is also needed for:
🔺 Creating ATP (energy)
🔺 Fighting infections
🔺 Producing hormones
🔺 Repairing muscles
🔺 Transporting nutrients

While everyone has unique nutrient needs, a trusted rule of thumb for protein consumption = consume your body weight in grams daily. For example: if you weigh 120lbs, aim to eat 120g of protein daily!

My favorite sources of protein are: wild-caught salmon, grass-fed steak and beef liver, whole pastured eggs, homemade bone broth, high quality collagen powder, raw nuts and seeds, soaked and sprouted beans and quinoa.

What’s your favorite kind of protein??

Should you eliminate ALL gluten from your diet? 🥖🍝🍪

If only I had a dollar for every time I’ve been asked this question!

Here’s the 411 on gluten… 👇

Truthfully, most gluten-filled foods are stripped of any nutritional benefit. Meaning, they aren’t the best source of fuel or nourishment.

More importantly, gluten contains phytic acid, an anti-nutrient, which is hard to digest. It's also known for blocking the absorption of essential nutrients, like zinc, leading to nutrient deficiencies!

Even worse, gluten (and dairy) can worsen autoimmune conditions due to a phenomenon called “molecular mimicry”. Gluten’s protein structure is similar to a lot of your own body’s tissues, especially your thyroid. So guess what...every time you eat gluten, your immune system sends out antibodies to attack the gluten and...due to molecular mimicry...the antibodies end up attacking the thyroid as well.

So, if you ask me, my answer is: YES, you should definitely eliminate gluten from your diet, especially if you’re healing an autoimmune condition.

Also, keep in mind.. There are MANY nutrient-dense foods (free from gluten) to choose from. A few of my favorites include: sweet potatoes, organic rice, fruit, and squash!

Are you gluten free? Why or why not?
