How Naturopathic Treatment Can Help With Irregular Menses

Dr. Nita believes that all of these women deserve proper care.

Testimonial from Mariah Regarding Helped With Her Irregular Periods
“I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Nita Champion. When I went to see her, I felt like I was knocking on death’s door. I had constant PMS symptoms, bleeding and the most intense fatigue. With four children ages 7 and under I could barely function. It turns out all of my hormones were in the tank and I had adrenal fatigue, estrogen dominance and anemia. My regular doctor wanted to put me on birth control pills (estrogen!) which would have made things worse! I knew deep down there was something wrong and refused to take the advice of my doctor. Since we don’t have any Naturopathic doctors where I live, I drove 5 hours to see Dr. Champion. I’m happy to report with her help my bleeding stopped, PMS went away, as did my chronic fatigue. I finally feel like ‘me’ again…one who is filled with boundless energy!”
