Living Towards Wellness
Practicially everyone I have worked with has seen many other practitioners before me. They have had multiple tests and been cycled through various prescriptions and procedures. They have tried endless remedies, diets, and meal plans that don't deliver on the advertised promises. It's not that those things don't work- it's because the solutions have not been aligned with their unique physiology.
How do you know what the right solution is for you?
You will know its right when you understand exactly WHY you are experiencing symptoms. My relationship with each client begins with an intensive exploration into their health experience followed by thorough diagnostic testing and analysis. It is the depth and scope of this investigation that sets my functional medicine practice apart from today's conventional medical practices. The result is a comprehensive understanding of why symptoms are present. When we discover the causes of your symptoms, I am able to directly support the 'dysfunctioning' systems contributing to many common complaints. Using natural methods such as targeted nutrition, potent supplements, and applicable lifestyle changes, balance is restored in the body. From this place of balance, the body can often resolve many diagnosed issues on its own, without creating dependency on the use of pharmaceutical intervention.
I encourage you to choose now to live a healthy and fulfilling life! Wellness is more than being free from illness: it is a process of change and growth towards a mentally and physically healthy lifestyle. This can start with small and simple changes in your daily life. Give some thought to what interests you...
Perhaps its gardening, hiking, yoga, meditation, learning a new language or skill or even starting a journal to help you manage and focus on blending your personal goals with the other demands on your time. In searching for options for my clients I have discovered affordable, high quality resources to help start your journey. We can achieve a lot together through Telehealth or consults by phone. Until regular office hours resume, I'm available and researching information on and continue to search for quality information, products and support for my clients.
To apply for an appointment, please provide your email address in the 'Contact Us' section and I will forward the health history intake forms to be completed. There is also an option for an initial consult where we can review the obstacles you currently face. The forms are extensive and thorough. Please provide as complete information as possible - and I will study it thoroughly before we meet. Once the forms completed, an email will be sent to you with appointment dates for you to schedule to initiate your plan of treatment.
What is Functional & Integrative Concierge Medicine?
Functional Medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease and engages both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a patient-centered approach, Functional Medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.
Integrative Medicine is healing-oriented medicine or interventions that consider the whole person (body-mind-spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative.
Concierge Medicine as a partnership relationship hybrid model of care between a patient and a primary care practitioner in which the patient pays an annual fee for service, or retainer. This retainer does not cover other charges for specialized labs, imaging or specific treatment regimens that are not covered by insurance. For these, I have negotiated deeply reduced rates. In exchange for the retainer, you will experience valuable, dedicated in-depth care with extended office visits, comprehensive assessments and specialized programs developed for clients unique medical needs. Principally, this model allows a provider to commit to a smaller number of patients, assuring adequate access, time and availability for each.
Everything about you is unique. Your fingerprints, your biochemistry, your epigenetic profile, your neural circuitry – there has never been anyone quite like you. Your health status or illness is as unique as you are, and therefore, you need to take a unique approach to restoring your health.
