When it comes to your health, there are plenty of experts out there trying to offer advice.
But Patricia Aldrich, C.N.C., N.D., says the best expert for your body is your body.
Aldrich is a certified Iridologist, whose ‘Me, My Health and Eyes? office in Orion Township offers the latest in integrated medicine.
For example, Aldrich said that deep tissue mineral analysis of the hair can offer insight on potential osteoporosis, something she called a ‘growing problem in today’s society.?
‘Hair analysis is an incredible tool,? explained Aldrich, noting that it can show improper calcium levels (which often lead to osteoporosis).
‘When someone’s calcium gets off-track, my specialty is to put it back on track,? she said.
But calcium levels aren’t the only thing that hair analysis can unveil.
‘It shows other things that are of great interest,? said Aldrich, mentioning zinc and copper among the other levels that people should avoid elevating.
‘The whole thing is a balancing act,? she said.
Aldrich said her goal is to provide an ‘owners manual? through her studies of things like the eyes and hair.
‘Now you have a starting place, you’re not taking vitamins senselessly,? she said.
Among the things offered at Me, My Health and Eyes are non-synthetic vitamins, and Aldrich said anyone purchasing an item from her storefront will know exactly what they’re going to be putting into their body.
Aldrich’s office was previously located on Clarkston Road, but she moved to Silverbell Road three years ago and visitors are enjoying the new setting.
‘I wanted the environment and wanted to be able to look out my window and see nature,? she said.
Aldrich said that new Health Savings Accounts, or HSAs, which have been incorporated on a federal level, allows for greater reimbursement coverage, including many things offered at Me, My Health and Eyes. She offers family discounts, as well.
Aldrich also offers hand and foot baths and she is on the Advisory Board of the Westin Health Foundation.
Of course, her top specialty remains the eye, and she is certified in Advanced Iridology by Dr. Bernard Jensen.
‘People want scientific data,? Aldrich said. ‘They want that information when they walk out the door and they’ll get that when they walk out the door.?
‘We combine the best of both worlds,? she added.
