“Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well.” -Hippocrates
MY APPROACH
Our bodies are incredibly intelligent and designed to keep us alive and well.
They do not just wake up one day and say “I want to have {insert any health ailment}.” There is always a ROOT cause. There is a trigger, an overload, a breaking point that force our bodies into ‘dis’-ease.
By looking at the underlying root cause, and from multiple angles, you eventually are able to figure it out. The key, you just have to ask WHY… and WHY… and WHY, until you cannot ask WHY anymore.
The overall concept is simple, remove toxicities and replace deficiencies. In doing so, we are able to address the underlying cause of many chronic conditions and stimulate the body’s self-healing mechanisms… which is something that medications can’t typically do. The chances of a condition recurring will be minimized when you restore homeostasis back to your body.
The tools I utilize to help uncover the imbalances and stressors in the body are blood work, bioenergetic full body scans, and functional medicine labs. I like to refer to these as “the body’s report card”. Through my training I am able to analyze the labs through a functional medicine lens, which helps me to see possible red flags that most other practitioners haven’t been trained to see and that allopathic medicine may miss or fail to discover. This is typically because standard lab ranges are based on the sickest of the sick, therefore leaving a very broad range for you to fall into and get the check of approval/“health”. The functional ranges I use when analyzing labs are far less broad and you will get a much more accurate assessment of how your body is doing.
I strive to be the practitioner I never had, but so desperately needed. I will work along side you, I will dive deep into your concerns, I will listen to you and acknowledge your symptoms. I know what it is like to hear the three little words “everything looks good” yet you feel otherwise and know everything is not “good”. My approach as a practitioner is to empower you with the knowledge, confidence, and tools you need to heal yourself. You are the driver, I am just the navigation to your final destination of optimal health.
