- J.S.
Most of my life I’ve explained away my exhaustion and weight gain because I’m a mom, or working full time, etc. I saw Dr. Neville about 4 ½ months ago. She discovered I have Hashimoto's when my primary care wouldn’t look into or test for it.
- C.J.
I struggled for 17 years with thyroid issues before crossing paths with Dr. Neville. Each physician prior, though great in their specialties, would write me off as a hard case or outside of their skillset and I’d be off looking for someone new who could help me. Dr. Neville took me down a path of hormone balancing as well as an overall holistic approach including food allergies and other therapies. I have learned so much about myself and how to improve my life from Dr. Neville and am grateful for her help and knowledge.

“I am so thankful that I found Dr. Neville. I have had several naturopathic and medical doctors over the years, many of which were helpful. Dr. Neville stands out as one of the finest physicians that have helped me. Her commitment to caring for patients and helping with their health challenges is top notch. One of the ways she accomplishes this is by listening to you. Not just average listening but active listening with the goal of understanding your concerns and what will help bring you to your next step in the healing process.”

“I discovered Dr Neville by chance on a web search. And it was by chance that she would change my life forever! I feel very fortunate. She’s helped me dig deep into problems that my regular doctor ignored, and opened my eyes to a world that doesn’t revolve around pills.”
-R.W.
“In my 70's, I started having balance issues. Doctor Neville immediately keyed in that this may be a result of low vitamin B12 - a documented side effect of long-term use of a medication I can been on. Meanwhile, my GP monitored blood pressure, ran heart tests, an MRI, an MRA and referred me to a neurologist for further testing. Guess what? They both concluded the balance issues were likely related to low B12!”
-C.N.
“Dr. Neville’s knowledge and continuing education in science-based practices that are grounded in practical application is of great benefit to my life. This expertise has greatly helped me in my own journey to health by providing me with sound guidance through my own complex health challenges. It can be difficult in our day and age to find practitioners with these kinds of qualities. With Dr. Neville you will not only find a knowledgeable and experienced physician that you can trust but you will also find a true healing professional.”
-D.A.
“Dr. Neville is a caring healthcare expert, calm, assuring, smart and knowledgeable. Her knowledge and insight creates an atmosphere of trust and calm, two of the most important traits a healthcare provider can give a patient. She listened and based on what she heard (and her amazing level of expertise in alternative healthcare) has set up a protocol that supports me and has made a huge difference in my health and energy levels. She has set goals for me and the support she gives to gain those goals has been empowering.”

“I love having Dr. Neville as my naturopath. I trust her, like her, and admire her. She helped me find great relief from my allergies using natural supplements. Now I’m totally off allergy drugs, and it’s as if I don’t even have allergies anymore. I’ve also recommended Dr. Neville to family and friends for adrenal fatigue and thyroid issues. I trust Dr. Neville’s expertise, I believe she really cares.”
-S.C.
“Dr. Neville was instrumental in getting me off some medication I had been on for over 20 years. My medical doctors had continued to prescribe it. When Dr. Neville became aware of this, she indicated it was a medication that should only be used short term. She encouraged me to get off it - this took hard work on my part, but I succeeded.”
-C.N.
“I feel so much better already and the energy I have is spent doing things with my kids or doing hobbies instead of laying around wishing I could. I love the amount of time she spends with me during my appointments, it’s refreshing compared to the quick in and out attention I get with my PCP. It’s easy to see she actually cares and takes an interest in her job and helping people feel better. I’m so grateful she’s part of my care-team!”
-C.J.
“I have suffered from hypothyroidism for a long time. I’ve been to many different doctors and specialist and I still had to keep adjusting my medication. Additionally, I am a very active person and I was not been able to lose any weight, which was super frustrating. Dr. Laura really understands how to help your body heal itself. She looks at the big picture instead of focusing on one small part of the issue. The best part….I started losing weight and my hypothyroid symptoms have improved dramatically!”
-R.V.
“I can discuss all my problems with her and she always has a solution that treats your body as a whole and targets issues, not just symptoms. She has a kind, gentle, warm and welcoming heart.

-O.W.
“As I think of all the qualities I look for in a physician, I realize that I have found a physician that has all of them. Aside from being highly knowledgeable and motivated, Dr. Neville has a keen intuitive sense and great investigating skills. She was the first practitioner ever who understood me and helped me to "dig deeper" in my hormone problems.”
- O.W.
“I highly recommend Dr. Laura Neville to new patients who are seeking answers to their health. When she came to speak at a workshop at my place of employment she said something that hit me—“Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s ‘normal’”. Most of my life I’ve explained away my exhaustion and weight gain because I’m a mom, or working full time, etc. She discovered I have Hashimoto’s when my primary care wouldn’t look into or test for it. Since then, I’ve been on supplements and have felt a steady increase in energy since I began taking them, and my weight stopped going up, it’s actually gone down.”
-C.J.
“I cannot recommend a more qualified doctor than Dr. Laura Neville. She is a highly gifted, compassionate, and qualified naturopathic physician who has helped me tremendously with my health issues. She was able to guide me to health better than my personal MD. She takes the necessary time to hear me. I much prefer natural solutions to drugs, which is also her philosophy, and have reduced my prescription pill intake from six per day to one. And I feel better!“

You know from my past articles that many botanicals can improve hot flashes and night sweats.
But did you realize that you can get these botanicals via tea, not just via supplements?
Many natural components of foods and herbs modulate enzymes. These enzymes then can change both levels and actions of hormones.

Estrogen is a dramatic hormone!!!
Too little estrogen causes problems. Too much estrogen causes problems.But the right amount creates true vitality, protects the brain, the bones, the breast, the skin, and the nervous system.
Estrogen plays an important role in skin health. It supports collagen and aids in skin hydration and elasticity.
If you are a woman, estrogen levels drop as a natural part of aging. This leads to less collagen production, dry skin, and more wrinkles.

Lots of attention is given to hormone replacement and oral contraceptive pills to treat women's symptoms. And for good reason — they often work well to manage. But are there other options?
Lying between your interior and exterior worlds, it gives a sneak peak into digestive health. Looking at the tonuge can provide information about the stomach, small intestine, and the large intestine. Basically, a map of the internal, without the need for x-rays or MRIs.
Low levels of estrogen can create a laundry list of symptoms. From head to toe, things just don't feel right.

Gaslighting at its finest.
After specifically studying hormones for over a decade now, I have come to the conclusion that they are molecules of communication and connection.
This is true for all hormones, including:
