Naturopathic medicine works. That is exactly why timing matters.

When a patient has elevated prolactin and is still waiting on an endocrinology workup, Dr. Marnie Luck, ND holds off on her full protocol. Bring prolactin down too early, and a prolactinoma could be missed. Start with the basics, get the assessment, then layer in support.

A clinical pearl from this week's In The Treatment Room with Dr. Sarah Wilson.

Finding Ureaplasma does not automatically mean you have found the problem.

Dr. Marnie Luck, ND does not pathologize what does not need to be pathologized. You can clear Ureaplasma and still have symptoms, and someone with robust lactobacilli, good lubrication and solid hygiene around s*x may carry it and never have an issue.

So is Ureaplasma commensal? That is the question at the heart of this week's In The Treatment Room with Dr. Sarah Wilson.

Herbs or antibiotics? It doesn't have to be a loyalty test.

A mentor once told Dr. Carley Akehurst, ND that a short course of a pharmaceutical can sometimes be better for the body overall than a long stretch on a herbal antimicrobial. Her approach now: the patient is in the driver's seat, and she's riding sh***un with the map.

A negative culture doesn't rule out infection.

We were taught that a negative result means "look for another cause." Dr. Carley Akehurst, ND explains why that thinking leaves so many recurrent UTI patients without answers, and why the old explanations for how women get UTIs deserve a second look.

Raging leaky gut. Active immune dysregulation. Constipation. And a practitioner about to start antimicrobials. That is a setup for a patient who feels worse and stops coming back.

Dr. Sienna Miller learned this the hard way and now goes in a specific order every time.

Foundations first. Nutrition, anti-inflammatory diet, gut barrier support, and getting the bowels moving daily before anything else.

Only once the terrain is stable does she introduce antimicrobials, and even then she tapers up slowly.

The reason is straightforward: when endotoxins come pouring out of dying bacteria into a gut lining that is already compromised and an elimination pathway that is backed up, the patient does not feel like they are healing. They feel like you made them worse.

Going slowly is not being timid. It is setting the patient up to actually stay the course.

Dr. Sienna Miller walks through her full gut treatment sequencing framework in the final Skin Health Month episode of In The Treatment Room.

The mold exposure was ten years ago. The mycotoxins were still off the charts. And treating them was what finally solved the case.

Dr. Sienna Miller asks every single patient on the first visit whether they have had any known mold exposure or water damage, regardless of how long ago it was.

Because she has seen it too many times. Old exposure. Resolved living situation. Active mycotoxin burden still showing up on testing years later.

If chronic sinus congestion, fatigue, and skin conditions that are not responding to standard protocols are in the picture, mold should be considered in the differential even when the exposure feels like ancient history.

It is not always the answer. But it is always worth asking about.

Hidradenitis suppurativa takes an average of ten years to diagnose. Patients are told it is cellulitis, boils, acne, ingrown hairs. It is none of those things and treating it like them makes it worse.

Dr. Brennan Dedecker is direct: if the presentation is in the groin, buttocks, armpits, or under the breasts, follow the suspicion.

Do not treat it topically. It is not an infection. Topical treatment alone will not touch the underlying drivers.

The metabolic and androgen pathways in HS overlap significantly with acne. Support blood sugar regulation. Support androgen clearance. And help that patient get the right care before tunneling and scarring become the outcome.

Naturopathic practitioners have time with patients that most other providers do not. Use it. Look at the skin. Be the bridge.

Dr. Brennan Dedecker and Dr. Sarah Wilson get into the full HS and metabolic acne framework in the latest episode of In The Treatment Room.

Perimenopause can feel like the Wild West: Sometimes high estrogen, periods of low estrogen, wild estrogen fluctuations, and staying up to date with the research on what can actually help our patients is a critical part of understanding and supporting patients through this phase.

In the treatment room we talk online in our podcast about complex perimenopause cases and we are also bringing that live. Learn how to assess, diagnose, and break apart some of the complexities of complex perimenopause cases, especially when people don't respond to hormones the way you think. Join us.

It is the last couple of days to register! Registration closed September 18th at 11:59pm.

Your patient's total testosterone came back normal. Her doctor told her her hormones were fine. Her acne is still getting worse.

SHBG is why.

Dr. Brennan Dedecker uses the analogy directly: low SHBG means there are people running around outside of cars. Not captured in the total testosterone number. Free to bump into receptors and do things the standard panel completely missed.
And here is the metabolic connection that makes this marker even more useful in the room: hyperinsulinemia directly suppresses hepatic SHBG production. So the insulin conversation and the androgen conversation are the same conversation.
Running SHBG gives you the missing piece that explains why the labs looked normal and the skin did not.
