A reminder from Healing Journey Health & Wellness (Glenda Gore, APRN)

DEAR PATIENTS,

(Including FAMILY & FRIENDS☺️)

I am currently OUT OF THE OFFICE.

ADVANCE NOTICE of this planned time off was sent out to ALL PATIENTS, via the email address we had on file. This is also how we send billing statements, so please check your email.

For the past few weeks my staff and I had worked overtime to help ensure we were able to address any potential needs, ahead of my absence.

During my time off, my amazing staff will be available to address any basic, but important needs (like medication refills) So, if you find yourself in need of a refill during this time, PLEASE ask your pharmacy to send us a request and it will be addressed.

However, it you have a need you feel requires a visit, but it can’t wait until my return, you should seek care at an urgent care, or other provider of your choice.

As always, if you have an emergent need, please call 911, or seek care at the nearest ER.

When the notice was sent out, my office manager felt it was important to protect my right to privacy. So she simply stated I would be off for 2 weeks, to tend to a personal matter.

So, while I would much rather be “enjoying time off” and I do appreciate the sentiment behind “I am so sorry to bother you on your time off, BUT can you - - - - - “ I am not on vacation. 🙄

I have been off because I had to undergo surgery last week. I am happy to report the surgery was a success. Thank God, the pathology results revealed only a “benign mass of scar tissue” 🙏🏻

However,anesthesia has never been kind to me. So, I am still dealing with a bit of post-op nausea and a dull headache. I am a bit sore and bruised with mild incision pain but have not had to take any pain medication.

I am home recovering during this time. I should be released from care at my follow-up, on April 10th. The current plan is to return to regular clinic operations on Thursday April 11, 2024.

I appreciate the kindness that has been shown to me during this time. Thanks for the many prayers, 🩵GG

Photo for proof I am NOT enjoying a vacation. Lol

Happy Easter! We hope you all have a happy and safe weekend with your family! 🐰🌼💙

In my 23 years of experience as a nurse, I learned so much from many brilliant minded colleagues I was blessed to worked alongside.

C.D. Williams M.D. is one such person. Now retired from practice, he will always be considered “The Father of Cardiovascular Surgery” in the State of Arkansas.

Dr. Williams will forever be a favorite among the many doctors I had the pleasure to work alongside, and learn from. He was a gifted heart surgeon, who opened my eyes to the benefit of functional medicine.

As a physician treating some of the most severely ill cardiac patients, he knew there was a place for both allopathic and functional medicine, often encouraging his patients to make lifestyle modifications.

Dr. Williams often told his patients if they would just commit to a few simple lifestyle changes they could likely stop some of the MANY prescription medications they had been prescribed by multiple providers.

I credit this gifted physician with influencing me to incorporate a holistic approach into my own daily life. By doing so, I have been able to discontinue 10 of the 11 daily prescriptions meds I had been taking for over 10 years. Aa a bonus, my body weight has decreased by 96 pounds.

I do NOT claim to be a FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE EXPERT. However, My own positive outcomes utilizing a “holistic approach” for myself and my family led to my decision to further my education, in the field of functional medicine.

I last spoke with Dr Williams shortly before he retired, in the Fall of 2022. As always, he asked, “Glenda, what have you been up to, and how are you?” I told him I was just about to complete a level I certification in Functional Medicine, and hoped to open my own clinic. He encouraged me to please do so, because so many patients NEED this kind of comprehensive care.

I completed my Level I Functional Medicine certification on September 24, 2022. Later that same year Healing Journey Health & Wellness
was established. We officially opened December 19, 2022, a very special day that would have been my late Mama’s 68th birthday.🩵

I will leave you with words of wisdom from Dr Williams; “I WISH MY PATIENTS WOULD REALIZE….That health doesn't come out of a pill bottle and that they are really the ones responsible for their health. And if you don't take care of yourself, it doesn't make much difference what the doctor does. The outcome will not be very great. Now there are some people that know that really well, and there are some people that don't act like they understand that at all. But I'll see patients in my office day after day that are taking 20 different prescriptions. I don't even know how their body can function, much less be healthy. So I wish people would take better care of themselves.” - C.D. Williams MD/ Cardiothoracic Surgeon (retired)

MTHFR 🧬 Ever heard of it? Only in recent years has MTHFR become more widely known, though it is still widely misunderstood.

The MTHFR gene encodes an enzyme called methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, crucial for a process called methylation. 🔄 Methylation has many roles in the body, and plays a pivotal role in detoxification, DNA repair, neurotransmitter balance, and so much more.

Maybe you have leaky gut, frequent migraines, history of miscarriages... maybe your kiddo has food sensitivities or behavioral difficulties... Maybe these symptoms have gone on seemingly unexplained... 🧐 If you have been left wondering, MTHFR may be to blame!

🤔 Why does MTHFR matter? When there's a mutation in the MTHFR gene, it can negatively impact methylation, which in turn can affect various aspects of health.

Severity and specific symptoms of MTHFR gene mutations can vary widely among individuals. 🔎 This is also what makes it so difficult for many practitioners to understand and diagnose.

Conditions that have been proposed to be associated with MTHFR include:
🔹 cardiovascular and thromboembolic diseases (specifically blood clots, stroke, embolism, and heart attacks)
🔹 depression
🔹 anxiety
🔹 bipolar disorder
🔹 schizophrenia
🔹 colon cancer
🔹 acute leukemia
🔹 chronic pain and fatigue
🔹 nerve pain
🔹 migraine
🔹 recurrent miscarriages in women of child-bearing age
🔹 pregnancies with neural tube defects, like spina bifida and anencephaly.. and many more.

🧬 The impact of MTHFR gene mutations is influenced by factors such as the type of mutation, its genetic inheritance (homozygous or heterozygous), and overall lifestyle and environmental factors. 🔬 Unless you have problems or have testing done, you may never become aware of your MTHFR mutation status.

🩺 If you suspect MTHFR in yourself or your child, seek help from a healthcare provider, especially one well-versed in functional medicine, for appropriate testing, diagnosis, and personalized treatment strategies. 🥗 Dietary modifications, 💊 supplementation, and 🚶 lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms and support overall health in individuals with MTHFR gene mutations.

The gut-hormone connection is real!

May this month be full of new opportunities, unexpected blessings, and happy moments with the people you love ❤️

We can all use a reminder. I am WE! 🩵

As always, Laura and her crew at Blue Barn Bakery provided us with some amazing, healthy food, and service.

I needed a last minute birthday cake for my sweet daughter, who is allergic to so many things. Lane happened to have a naked vanilla cake in the freezer.

I purchased the cake, a container of fluff, and one cute decorated cupcake. I was able to take all of these things home and put together a cute little “allergen-friendly” mini birthday cake that actually tasted AMAZING.

While I was there I realized I needed food because I had not eaten yet, so I grabbed a slice of breakfast pizza!! YA’LL, this stuff was AMAZING!

If you have never been to BBB, you must go.

Thanks so much Laura, Lane, and BBB crew. 🩵
