Many patients experience low thyroid symptoms long before they are diagnosed with thyroid disease.

This is because the medical field uses lab averages as the standard for what’s considered “normal” bloodwork.

Lab averages are based on the average ranges of people who get their blood work done.

The problem with using lab averages is that it’s typically people who are sick that are getting their blood work done...

so if you are in the “normal range,” it just means that you are in the same range as other people who are sick.

At Premier Health Care, we use functional lab ranges, which are based on healthy people - which is why our patients finally start to feel better once they start our treatment plan.

⁣Did you know that grass fed beef is significantly better for you than grain fed beef? Unless it specifically states grass fed, the beef you’re getting at the grocery store is corn fed. Neither the human body nor the cow’s body are designed to digest corn.

Feeding cattle on corn fundamentally changes the meat they produce, greatly increasing levels of unhealthy Omega-6 fatty acids and decreasing levels of healthy Omega-3 fatty acids.

Grass fed beef is higher in vitamins A, E, and other antioxidants; and also has significantly lower levels of saturated fat than grain fed beef.

While grass fed beef is much more expensive at the store, you can save greatly by purchasing from a local farmer.

If you’re in the St. Louis area, I highly recommend Daniel Morgan for ethically raised grass fed beef at a great price and free delivery. You can contact him at 660-676-8868 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Most patients come to me with a blood sugar problem, toxic liver, and inflammation.

When you’re eating food that contains toxins at every meal, your liver can’t keep up with filtering out everything it’s supposed to, which creates a domino effect of health issues over time.

The Standard American Diet is very toxic, which is why I start just about every patient with a liver cleanse.

I put them on a clean, non-inflammatory diet along with natural products that take the patient through a detox. This detox cleans out the liver, blood, and digestive system; and sets the stage for the next phase of treatment so that the patient can achieve maximum results from everything we do going forward.

During a liver cleanse, almost every patient reports back that they have more energy than they’ve had in years, are sleeping better, having regular bowel movements, and lessening of the symptoms they initially came to see me about.

Don’t underestimate the importance of the food you put into your body - it is ALL connected; and if your liver isn’t working properly, eventually nothing will be working properly.

If you’d like to learn more about how highly refined foods impact your health, I go more in depth on the subject here.
