How It Works

Based on your information obtained, we will help you determine which diet, lifestyle, supplements, therapies, and environmental treatments could help you. Our Holistic Practitioners[CLT1]  look at the Whole Body, including the spiritual, emotional, and energetic aspects, not just your parts or systems that seem to be going bad.

Conventional Medicine focuses on WHAT – What disease you have determines what pill to take.

Holistic medicine asks, “Why?” Why is the body developing a disease, and what is its root cause? Why are these symptoms manifesting? Why? Why? Why?

Some health challenges are easily understood and treatable, while others make detectives out of your doctors. For example, a broken bone obviously needs setting and casting. Pain from tight muscles can be relieved by stretching, massage, or other manual therapies. Fatigue from lack of sleep needs a schedule and commitment to rest. In situations like these, the root cause of your pain is obvious, and the treatment plan is straightforward. Unfortunately, many ailments require a multi-faceted investigation and analysis to pinpoint their root causes.

Ultimately, dis-ease can be viewed through these core concepts:

The Two Most Important
Questions:

·        Do I need to eliminate something, such as toxins, infections, stress, or a poor diet?

·        Do I have unmet individual needs requiring correction to improve function, such as nutrients, water, sleep, movement, social connection, meaning or purpose?

Five Causes of Illness:

·        Toxins (biological, elemental, synthetic)

·        Allergens & Intolerances (food, mold, dust, pollens, chemicals)

·        Microbes (bacteria, yeast, parasites, worms, etc.)

·        Stress (physical or emotional)

·        Poor Diet (nutrient deficiencies, toxicity)

Eight Core Physiological
Systems and Imbalances

·        Digestion, Absorption and Gut Imbalances

·        Hormonal and Neurochemical Imbalances

·        Immune and Inflammatory Imbalances

·        Detoxification and Biotransformational Imbalances (refers to the way in which the body handles products of metabolism, toxic elements, drugs, and other chemicals, and
eliminates waste through the urine, stool, and sweat.) 

·        Mitochondrial Dysfunctions (addressing can increase the amount of energy available for use by cells and improve fatigue symptoms)

·        Structural Imbalances (cellular dysfunction, musculoskeletal problems)

·        Mind & Body Imbalances 

·        Sleep Disruption
