Patient Testimonials

  • “Dr. Haley helped me immensely handle a recurring ovarian cyst issue! After my gynecologist gave me no other option than BC, I decided to talk with her and see how I could prevent ovarian cysts naturally. I’m so happy to have a normal period again and no cyst pain or ER trips! (and an undisrupted sex life). Ladies, do yourself a favor and visit Dr. Haley!”

    B.S.

  • “At first, I just delayed the scheduled sinus surgery, but within 4 weeks, I knew I could cancel it. It wasn’t an overnight change, but with continued use of the recommended approaches, I have had clear sinuses for the last 6 months and completely avoided surgery!”

    D.N.

  • “My time with Dr. Jacob has been amazing. Instead of guessing from my amateur self-care on the internet, I’m getting expert, evidence-based care! Thank you, Dr. Jacob! I look forward to our follow up in a few months to continue on this road to truly living my healthiest life!”

    C.L.

  • “My story starts with my husband. He is 85 years old and for the last year and a half, he had terrible bowel problems! He had severe constipation and diarrhea. He went to his GP and gastroenterologist who recommended Linzess, prune juice, MiraLAX and multiple other things! None of them worked! We consulted with Dr. Haley and now he has normal bowel movements. It has changed our lives! Thank you so very much!”

    S.M.

  • “I came to Dr. Jacob Panka after almost giving up on my foot fungal issue. After multiple prescriptions that had a ton of side effects with almost no results, I thought it was permanent. He recommended some custom essential oil formulas, gave me a simple plan of use, and in a few weeks it was completely gone. Can’t say enough good things about these folks. Will definitely call them first the next time I'm not feeling right!”

    T.M.

  • "I definitely recommend seeing Dr. Haley Panka.  She helped me get off of the Zyrtec I’d been taking for probably the last 20 years.  No other doctor had ever suggested my discontinuing it.  I’m doing fine without it, so I probably didn’t need it for years! I always learn something after each visit, and it’s so nice to meet with a doctor that actually believes that what you eat really does affect how you feel."

Nutrient Spotlight: Foods Rich in Calcium
Nutrient Spotlight: Foods Rich in Calcium

Calcium is essential for strong bones, muscle function, and heart health. It works alongside nutrients like vitamins D, K2, and magnesium to ensure proper absorption and bone deposition. Without enough calcium, the body pulls it from bones, leading to brittleness and a higher risk of fractures or osteoporosis. While dairy is a well-known source, leafy greens, nuts, and seeds are excellent calcium-rich alternatives.

The Similarities of Functional & Naturopathic Medicine

Today, I want to shed some light on how functional medicine and naturopathic medicine share a common philosophy that focuses on treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. This holistic approach is at the heart of how we practice healthcare here at Panka Natural Health.

It’s June, meaning warmer days and more sun exposure when spending time outdoors. While sunscreen and protective clothing are essential tools in the fight against sunburn, did you know that your diet can also play a significant role in protecting your skin against UV rays?
