COVID does not just cause short term symptoms. Post acute COVID syndrome can cause long term effects in your brain and cardiovascular system. This can contribute to symptoms such as brain fog and POTS, at least in part due to hyperactive Bradykinin. Naturopathic therapies are available for this, stay tuned

The main cause of POTS is poor blood circulation to the heart. The best way to improve circulation to the heart is exercise (within your body’s limitations) and especially focusing on lower body and core exercises, the calves being especially important.

Spend much time looking at screens? Get yourself some BLUE LIGHT BLOCKING GLASSES. Our eyes and brains are not built to be spending hours looking at screens and such glasses can offer some protection.

Consider cutting down on screen time all together 😉

First do no harm

This rule can go out the door when money gets involved in many cases. Practitioners are often times willing to compromise on what they offer in their clinic if it has a big payout. They might think, oh it’s “mostly harmless” or “people want this and they will go somewhere else if we don’t offer it”. At my clinic, we let you go somewhere else if we don’t believe in the therapy.

If you work with Dr. Butterfield, you get what he believes is in your highest good. No shortcuts or quick fixes because those often do more harm than good. We also try to find the most economic option for supplements because we don’t want to charge you more than necessary (another way of harming people). Go to a Doctor who puts you first, be cautious of trends. Best wishes

Healthy eating isn't about perfection, it's about making better choices, one step at a time. 🌿

Small swaps can add up to big improvements over time. Whether it's choosing water more often, trying sourdough instead of white bread, or roasting sweet potatoes instead of deep-frying them, every healthy choice matters. Focus on progress, not perfection.

💚 Which swap are you going to try first?

Struggling to fall asleep?

The screens we use before bed can make it harder for our brains to recognize that it's time to rest. Blue light exposure may suppress melatonin production, making it more difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Try these simple sleep-friendly habits: ✨ Put screens away 30–60 minutes before bed
✨ Use night mode or blue light filters
✨ Keep devices out of the bedroom when possible
✨ Create a relaxing bedtime routine
Better sleep starts with small changes.

What's one thing you do to unwind before bed?

Do you have symptoms related to Long COVID (Post acute COVID syndrome)? Even if it’s been several years, you may be suffering from the effects of COVID spike protein exposure. Inflammation, autoimmunity, micro clotting and more. It’s worth getting tested.

This does not only occur due to natural COVID occurrence. The mRNA COVID vaccines cause your cells to be little spike protein factories and can really increase your spike protein counts long term, causing the symptoms of Long COVID.

The test is only $56 from Labcorp, ask for your spike protein antibody test today!
