Food first — but not always. Here’s when I’d choose whole foods over supplements (and when I’d flip it):

L-Glutamine → Go with bone broth
If you’re dealing with gut issues or leaky gut, L-glutamine helps seal up the gut lining. You can absolutely take it in powder form, but bone broth gives you more bang for your buck — glycine, collagen, trace minerals, the whole package. My go-to brand for clients is Bonafide Provisions. Frozen or shelf-stable, certified organic, simple ingredients. Worth it.

Vitamin D → Supplement it
Deficiency is shockingly common — I see it even in clients who spend plenty of time outside. There’s no real food source that’s going to move the needle on your levels. This one’s non-negotiable to supplement.

Selenium → Grab Brazil nuts
Two or three Brazil nuts covers your entire daily selenium need. That’s it. They’re cheaper than a supplement, easy to toss into your routine, and you get bonus calcium, potassium, and iron. This is one of my favorite “why would you buy a pill for this?” examples.

The goal is always to eat it if you can, supplement when you can’t or when the research says food won’t cut it.

🍎 Hey teachers — this one's for you.

You spend the entire school year pouring into your students. Summer is your chance to finally pour into yourself.

This summer, we're offering educators a special new patient rate:

✅ 1-Hour New Patient Appointment — $125 (regularly $200)

In your first visit with Dr. Keri, you'll get a full health history review, a deep-dive conversation about what's actually going on with your body, and a clear direction for your care — not a 7-minute brush-off.

Functional medicine looks at the root cause of what you're feeling: the fatigue, the hormonal shifts, the brain fog, the sleep issues, the weight that won't budge no matter what you try. We listen. We dig. We find answers.

This offer is available June through July for active educators, teachers, paras, and school staff.

👉 Book your call with Keegan to find out how to become a new patient: https://l.bttr.to/3TxdZ

Spots are limited — we keep our schedule intentional so every patient gets the time they deserve. Don't wait until August to finally take care of yourself.

Something we've been quietly working on for the past six months is finally ready and we can't wait to share it with you. 🤍

We wrote an e-book on thriving through menopause. And it's completely free!

Here's why this one felt so personal to us: a huge portion of the women we see in practice every single day are navigating menopause, and we kept noticing the same thing. They were doing their best with incomplete information, unsupported by their conventional providers, and honestly just exhausted from trying to figure it out alone.

So we decided to do something about it.

Dr. Keri breaks down the science of what's actually happening in your body, which labs to ask your doctor for (and what to do with the results), and the supplements and support that can genuinely move the needle.

Keegan covers the diet and lifestyle side: what to eat, how to move, the daily habits that make a real difference, and how to feel like yourself again in a body that feels like it's constantly changing.

This is the guide we wish every one of our patients had on day one.

It's free to sign up and read. If you know someone in the thick of it, please share this with her. 💛

Okay, we know… another review request. 😄🤍

We promise we wouldn't keep asking if it didn't matter so much. As a small, family-owned practice that has been serving this community for over 11 years, every single review makes a real difference in helping people who are still out there searching for answers find their way to us. Your words carry more weight than you know.

So we decided to make it worth your while. 🎉

From May 26th – July 26th, every review you leave enters you to win $200 off your next visit at Alternative Answers.

Here's how it works:
⭐ Google Review = 2 entries
⭐ Facebook Review = 1 entry
⭐ Leave both = 3 entries total

If you've generously already written us a review, we've automatically entered you in the giveaway!

One winner will be drawn on July 26th.

If you've ever felt heard here, if something shifted for you, if you finally got answers after years of searching — we would be so honored if you shared that. Not just for us, but for the person scrolling Google at midnight wondering if anyone can actually help them.

That person exists. Your review could find them. 🤍
I'll post links in the comment to help make it easy to go to the write spot to write the review!

Prompts to help you write your review:
What brought you to Alternative Answers in the first place?

What was your experience like with our team?

What’s changed or feels different since working with us?

Anything specific that stood out? Staff member, a service, something we did differently?

Even 3-4 sentences is plenty. Honest and specific is all that matters!

A couple of updates from our end — thank you in advance for your grace and patience with us! 🤍

Conference Recording: We haven't forgotten you! The file is massive and we're still working through the technical side of getting it edited and accessible. We'll have it to you as soon as we can.

Payment Processing: We also want to be transparent with you about something that's been affecting our practice behind the scenes. Square recently deactivated our account. Businesses that sell supplements and peptides are classified as "high-risk," and a single card dispute triggered their automatic review process. It's been a frustrating and honestly disheartening experience for us.

We are currently processing payments through QuickBooks invoices sent directly to your phone or email at the time of your visit. We ask that you complete payment before leaving your appointment — it's quick and easy, we promise!

As we navigate this transition, we may need to move to a processor that specializes in high-risk businesses, which unfortunately comes with higher transaction fees. We'll keep you informed every step of the way.

We're actively working on a long-term solution and will keep you posted as things settle. This is one of those behind-the-scenes realities of running a small business, and we're grateful for every one of you who continues to show up and trust us with your health. It truly means everything. 🤍

We just got back from Cell Core and I couldn't sit on this.

Two speakers really resonated with me and both of them said something I think every one of our patients needs to hear — especially the ones who eat clean, do everything right, and still feel like their body is failing them.

I wrote it all out in an article. Here's the link ↓

Our first learning seminar was a full house. 🙌

Seeing so many of you show up ready to learn, ask questions, and take ownership of your health — that’s exactly why we do this.

The survey results are in, and you’ve spoken: more seminars, more depth. We heard you, and we’re already planning the next one.

If you missed it, don’t worry — the recording drops by end of the week. 🎥
