Our Philosophy
Uncovering the 'Why' Behind Your Symptoms
We do this by looking at:
Your Past
Your family history, traumatic events, health history (including symptoms, diagnoses and treatment)
Your Present
Your current living and work environments and potential toxin exposures. We also discuss your community, social life, stress level, relationships, diet, workout regimen, sleep habits, and more, depending on where conversation with your practitioner takes you.
A Comprehensive, Whole-Person Perspective
We look at your body in a different way. Our goal is to optimize your gut microbiome, lower your toxin load, treat hidden infections, balance your hormones, and dig into your mind-body-spirit connection (basically every aspect of how your body functions) so that symptoms are gone and you feel great.
As your medical detective, we take a thorough personalized, whole-person approach to discovering which of these root cause issue/s is likely your issue.
Creating Your Personalized Treatment Plan
We then create your personalized treatment plan focused on addressing the root causes of your health issues. We begin with just a few of the following and then continue to work together to optimize function wherever needed:
- Repairing healthy gut flora and digestive function;
- Supporting detoxification processes;
- Repairing immune function and treating inflammation
- Treating infections, mold or parasites
- Replenishing nutrient deficiencies
- Rebalancing and supporting hormones
- Improving lifestyle behaviors such as improving sleep, stress and exercise.
Collaborative Care for Optimal Health
We work collaboratively with your primary care doctor, internist, gynecologist, or specialist to design an individualized health program that integrates their recommendations.
Join us on a journey to uncover the root causes of your health issues and achieve a vibrant, healthy life.
