She didn’t need another label. She needed labs that actually meant something. But instead, she got: ⏱ a 7-minute visit πŸ’Š a prescription πŸ˜‘ and a “you’re fine” shrug. Meanwhile, no one looked at her ferritin. No one checked her cortisol rhythm. No one asked if her postpartum hormones ever recovered. And she walked out thinking she was crazy. You’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You’re just depleted — and depletion is fixable. πŸ‘‡ Drop ‘ROOTS’ in the comments and I’ll send you my exact Root Cause Checklist: βœ… What labs to run βœ… What ranges I actually look for βœ… What gets missed 90% of the time Let’s stop slapping labels on symptoms — and start rebuilding from the ground up. βΈ» #RootCauseRx #YoureNotBroken #DepletedNotDepressed #FerritinMatters #FunctionalMedicine #HormoneHealing #CortisolChaos #PostpartumRecovery #TestDontGuess #WomensHealthMatters #ChronicFatigueHelp #RealRootCause #DrNateFulton #RootCauseChecklist #StopGuessingStartHealing
She wasn’t crazy. She was chronically overlooked. Her labs were “normal.” Her fatigue? Blamed on being a mom. Her mood swings? Labeled anxiety. Her burnout? Brushed off as hormones. So they gave her a pill. But never asked about: 🩸 Ferritin 🧬 Thyroid πŸ”₯ Cortisol πŸ’₯ Nutrients πŸ›Œ Sleep 🧠 Overwhelm She didn’t need another label. She needed to be seen. We ran the right labs. We gave her minerals, blood sugar stability, protein, rest, and nervous system safety. And you know what came back? ➑️ Her energy. ➑️ Her motivation. ➑️ Her self. If this feels like you… You’re not broken. You’re depleted.

If your hair is falling out, and you’re still blaming biotin… You’re missing the point. ⁣ Hair loss is not a vanity issue, it’s a survival response. 🧠 Your body is saying: “I don’t feel safe enough to grow right now.” ⁣ And guess what? It’s rarely about shampoo or supplements. It’s about: βœ”οΈ Low ferritin βœ”οΈ Thyroid patterns no one’s testing βœ”οΈ Cortisol wrecking your cycles βœ”οΈ Under-eating (yes, even when you think you’re eating “clean”) βœ”οΈ Hormones, especially postpartum shifts ⁣ πŸ’₯ Biotin is the band-aid. Root-cause is the fix. ⁣ πŸ“₯ Drop “HAIR” in the comments and I’ll DM you the checklist I use in my practice to figure out what’s actually going on. πŸ”– Save this post so you don’t end up googling “best shampoo for hair loss” again. πŸ“² Share it with someone who needs real answers, not another bottle of false hope. — #HairLossHelp #RootCauseHealing #FunctionalMedicine #WomensHealth #ThyroidHealth #HormonalImbalance #Ferritin #PostpartumHairLoss #CortisolSupport #HolisticHairCare #IntegrativeHealth #HairGrowthTips #StopGuessingStartTesting #RootCauseRx #DrNateFulton #HairLossJourney #NaturopathicDoctor #SundaySupplementSpotlight #WhatIdDoIf #HealingFromTheInsideOut
Hair falling out? Biotin probably isn’t your fix. Before you drop $30 on another influencer gummy… Let’s talk about what’s actually behind your shedding, thinning, receding, or postpartum clumps in the shower. Because unless you’ve got a true deficiency (rare), biotin isn’t the root cause. Here’s what I check when a patient says “My hair is falling out and I’m freaking out”: βœ… Ferritin (Iron storage) — should be 70+ βœ… Thyroid — not just TSH. Free T3, Reverse T3, antibodies too. βœ… Cortisol + Stress — dysregulates your growth cycle. βœ… Calories + Protein — under-eating = catabolic mode. βœ… Postpartum hormones — it’s not just estrogen dropping, it’s safety signals shifting. Your body doesn’t shed for no reason. It sheds when it feels unsafe to grow. Let’s fix that. 🧠 Root cause > random supplements. πŸ‘‡ Drop “HAIR” in the comments and I’ll DM you my hair loss checklist — the exact one I use in my practice. — πŸ’¬ Save this. Share it with someone pulling hair from the drain. Reclaim your roots. — #RootCauseRx #HairLossHelp #ThyroidHairLoss #PostpartumHairLoss #FerritinMatters #FunctionalMedicineDoctor #BiotinIsNotTheFix #HairThinningHelp #HormoneHairLoss #RootCauseMedicine #HolisticHairCare #CortisolCrash #FunctionalMedicineApproach #HairSheddingSolution #StopGuessingStartTesting #NutritionForHair #FunctionalLabTesting #NaturopathicDoctor #FatigueAndHairLoss

You’re not just trying to live longer, You want to feel strong, sharp, and steady while you’re here. Most people think aging means: More meds. Less muscle. Brain fog.

You’re not broken. You’re just in the part no one posts about. The in-between. The part where you’re doing everything right… and still not feeling better. The bloating, the crashes, the “I thought I was past this&rdquo
You’re not broken. You’re just in the part no one posts about. The in-between. The part where you’re doing everything right… and still not feeling better. The bloating, the crashes, the “I thought I was past this” moments. This is what healing actually looks like. Not linear. Not glamorous. Not a highlight reel. πŸ‘‰ It’s rewiring. πŸ‘‰ It’s your body relearning safety. πŸ‘‰ It’s setbacks that aren’t failure, they’re stress tests. Read that again. So if you’re stuck in the in-between… If your symptoms are flaring and your brain is screaming “you’re not getting better”… You’re not broken. You’re rebalancing. ⚑ Comment “PROCESS” below and I’ll DM you my exact healing roadmap for when progress feels slow, messy, or stuck. You’re not alone in this. Let’s rebuild you from the root up. #healingjourney #rootcausemedicine #hormonehealth #guthealing #naturopathicmedicine #functionalmedicine #chronicfatigue #invisibleillness #holistichealth #healingisntlinear #adrenalfatigue #postpartumhealing #bloatingrelief #burnoutrecovery #anxietyrelief #bloodsugarbalance #pcoshealing #womenswellness #hormonalimbalance #rebuildfromtheroots
You thought healing would feel like progress every day. But sometimes it feels like you’re going backwards. The bloat comes back. The fatigue hits harder. Your sleep tanks out of nowhere. And you start questioning everything. But hear this: That is healing. That’s your body rebalancing, not breaking. That’s your nervous system rewiring, not malfunctioning. That’s your gut relearning safety, not failing. Healing isn’t a straight line. It’s a process. A spiral. A rebuild. So if you’ve ever said “I was doing so good… what happened?” You’re not alone, you’re actually on track. πŸ‘‡ Drop “PROCESS” in the comments if you needed this reminder. I’ll DM you my roadmap for when it feels like your progress is falling apart. You’ll want to save this. #rootcausehealing #functionalmedicine #guthealing #hormonehealth #nervoussystemregulation #healingisntlinear #holistichealth #bloatrelief #fatiguerecovery #healthtips #healingjourney #rootcausemedicine #guthealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #rebuildingfromtheroots #drnatefulton #rootcauserx
They handed you an SSRI without asking about your ferritin, your thyroid, your B12, or your sleep. They medicated your symptoms without ever checking your system. But here’s the truth πŸ‘‰ You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. You&rsq
They handed you an SSRI without asking about your ferritin, your thyroid, your B12, or your sleep. They medicated your symptoms without ever checking your system. But here’s the truth πŸ‘‰ You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. You’re not “just depressed.” You’re depleted. Inflamed. Running on empty. And yeah, that can look a lot like depression. But it’s also something you can measure. And optimize. And heal. πŸ‘‡ Drop “MOOD” below and I’ll send you the exact lab list I run for low energy, low motivation, and burnout that’s been misdiagnosed as “just mental health.” Let’s stop guessing.
