Wellness Consultation

With a functional Medicine Approach

Identify opportunities to support the foundations of health.

The methodology includes the following:

• Support the foundations of health for optimal wellness through an adequately prepared nutrient-dense diet, adequate sleep, physical movement, stress management, and satisfying relationships.

• Investigate the root cause of symptoms using a systems-based approach to identify the foundations' weaknesses that can eventually lead to degenerative health problems.

• Prioritize treatment strategies to ensure progress toward your wellness goals that fit into your current lifestyle.

Do you need Support?

Many of us have joint pain, digestion issues, or fatigue that may be related to a nutritional or lifestyle imbalance. Nutritional Therapy and Functional Medicine can help investigate your symptoms to connect how you move, sleep, socialize, manage stress, and eat with how you feel. Through a wide range of evaluation tools and techniques that help identify and correct imbalances, a customized program can give you a clear path on what to prioritize and help break the cycle and progress towards your goals.

Functional Medicine Fundamentals:

Our relationship to food is multidimensional, and many conscious and unconscious desires impact our choices. The vital foundational aspects are eating a healthy diet and making positive choices. The Functional Nutrition Fundamentals consist of four main ideas about food and nutrition:

Food is energy. At the most basic level, food is a fuel source necessary for the body to function.

Food is information. Byproducts of food convey messages and assist with various bodily processes (e.g., metabolism, cell signaling, detoxification, etc.).

Food is a connection. Food brings people together, often as a central focus of social gatherings and celebratory events. Additionally, pleasant and unpleasant memories often incorporate the s’ smell, taste, and texture. The reasons behind food choices, cravings, and aversions aren’t always logical or rational, and these reasons can often be tied back to our connections to food. n

Food is medicine. We are what we eat. Foods and food behaviors influence the body and can contribute to underlying disease causes. These factors can be adjusted to move an individual toward their most remarkable state of health and healing. Choosing nutrient-dense foods that send signals to the body for positive gene expression is critical to optimal health.

Health-promoting lifestyle factors that will be addressed

Sleep and relaxation: Getting adequate sleep and making time for meaningful relaxation

Exercise and movement: participating in physical activity that can be performed within the parameters of an individual’s health status

Nutrition: maintaining adequate hydration and eating food that supports your health conditions.

Stress: reducing overall stress levels and effectively managing existing stress

Relationships: developing and maintaining healthy relationships and social networks while reducing the impact of toxic relationships

Personalized Support:

This method treats each person as a unique individual. It considers the totality of personal history, family history, environment and lifestyle, physical presentation, and components of mind, body, and spirit. Interventions are tailored to each person and adjusted based on the person’s individualized response.

How long does it take to get results?

Results vary by each person. Some people feel improvements within weeks, while others may take a bit longer. A standard program is for a minimum of 3 months. Remember how long you have had symptoms and how long it took to get that way. On average, it takes one month of repair for each year you’ve suffered from a specific problem. Your body doesn’t fail overnight. Years of stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, and little exercise take their toll, and it takes time to restore health. Often people don’t realize how bad they feel until they start feeling better. Once you start feeling better, this will motivate you to continue towards optimal health.

What will the program be like?

The program will consist of an assessment to address common conditions related to weight gain, fatigue, digestive problems, etc., followed by prioritizing support for the major body systems, such as hormones, digestion, and detoxification. You will receive a customized program that fits your budget and lifestyle based on the analysis of your medical history, online comprehensive nutrition assessment questionnaire (NAQ), and current diet and exercise routine. We strive to create a partnership with you to assist as needed through your wellness journey. Read more about What To Expect.
