Here are four very important takeaways in working with Integrative Medicine therapies:
1. Comprehensive lab test analysis with an emphasis on optimal reference ranges typically identifies inflammation as the primary cause of disease, and
2. Hormone deficiencies and imbalances often prevent a patient from following their Health Protocol consistently enough to remain motivated long enough for health to improve.
3. High quality dietary supplements are crucial for healing your body – and some brands are superior to others.
4. Eating right for your blood type can lower inflammation and improve overall health.
Key Points for How I Work with Clients:
- First and foremost, I will take a detailed health history and ask you what your health goals are in order of your preference.
- Once we have a plan, I will need lab tests to identify what I refer to as “deficiencies and Imbalances.” You will have three options:
- A) I can write a Lab Test Recommendations Letter which you can present for your doctor to order for you. The letter will list specific blood tests and diagnostics tests to access your overall health.
- B) If your physician will not order these tests, or only orders some, I can order the remainder for you.
- C) I can order all of the lab tests for you. Note: Lab tests that I order for you, are out-of-pocket expenses and must be paid in advance.
- Once your lab test results are available, we will schedule an appointment to discuss the results. My treatment recommendations will include dietary improvements and dietary supplements which will primarily be my private label because I believe they are best.
- At your request, we can have follow up appointments based on your needs and progress. This can include monitoring lab test levels, adjusting diet and dietary supplements, and updates to your health needs.
Prescription medication vs. dietary supplements: Just so you know — I will support your choice, even if I believe otherwise. If I believe there are some effective and safer options for you within my realm of treatment, I will discuss those with you if you are interested.
All services and expenses are paid out of pocket at the time they are provided.
