Change Your Health… Through Naturopathic Medicine
Whether the goal is to lessen pain, find an alternative to pharmaceuticals, or improve your quality of life, Dr. LoBisco’s Naturopathic Medicine lets you get the best of both worlds — conventional medicine, combined with safe and proven complementary therapies.
Dr. Sarah LoBisco has been involved in wellness for over 8 years. Her experience includes mentoring with holistic practices throughout New York, Vermont, and Connecticut.
Sarah has received training in essential oils, herbal therapy and whole food supplements. She is a graduate of the accredited four year post-graduate program in naturopathic medicine at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. This program includes 1300 hours of clinical experience along with a demanding scientific curriculum comparable to conventional medical training.
Sarah has passed her national licensing board exams which consisted of questions regarding clinical diagnosis, laboratory methods, pharmacology, nutrition and natural healing methodology. She holds her license in Vermont, as New York State does not currently recognize Naturopathic Doctors as primary care physicians. Sarah is also certified in Applied Kinesiology and holds a BA in psychology from SUNY Geneseo.
Sarah believes in listening to her clients and working with them in order to facilitate wellness. She uses her background of essential oils, herbs, whole food supplements, mind-body medicine and psychology to form an integrated approach to each individual client.
Currently, Dr. LoBisco has a private consulting practice in Ballston Spa, NY. She also writes for the board licensing Council of Naturopathic Medicine and lectures on integrative medical topics for medical professionals.

Healthy You: Inside & OUT
In the past, I have written and posted articles on the importance of choosing natural skin care products. The skin is the body’s largest organ, and unlike your digestive tract, it produces no enzymes to help breakdown and filter any toxic exposure. Therefore, it can be said that what you apply is just as important as what you ingest. This week’s edition of Dr. Mercola’s Health News reiterated several very important reasons to avoid personal care products which contain the harmful ingredient sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS).
Therefore, I’m pleased to announce: Living Well Health Clinic’s Organic Facial Special This Month

Bonus Link: New England Journal of Medicine Claims Niacin over an additional Statin Drug
Excerpt:
Together, the results available to date provide support for the concept that the use of statins to reduce LDL cholesterol to target levels with the subsequent addition of a drug to raise HDL cholesterol levels (niacin), rather than a drug to lower LDL cholesterol levels (ezetimibe), is a more effective treatment for patients at high cardiovascular risk. Two well-powered studies of clinical end points — AIM-HIGH (Atherothrombosis Intervention in Metabolic Syndrome with Low HDL/High Triglycerides and Impact on Global Health Outcomes; NCT00120289 [ClinicalTrials.gov] ) and HPS2-THRIVE (HeartProtection Study 2: Treatment of HDL to Reduce the Incidence of Vascular Events; NCT00461630 [ClinicalTrials.gov] ) — will provide additional, pivotal information regarding the current hypothesis that theaddition of niacin to statin therapy leads to a further reduction of the risk of clinical events in our patients.
