You decide what your ultimate destination is. My job is to advise you honestly about the path and to help you get to each milestone along the way. I will always tell you what I think and what I recommend, but you are always the one to decide on what steps make sense for you.
Once we’ve determined what areas or systems we need to address first, we need a roadmap to help us navigate. We need a baseline and objective markers for progress. Those usually depend on some form of testing.
I am always thrilled when a patient feels better! But it’s important to remember that pain and other symptoms can be unreliable. Let’s use objective proof that your body is healing to guide us in our progress.
You have a lifetime of living in your body, and no one knows you like you do. When you’re ready to move on from where you are and how you feel now, the first step is always to look carefully at what got you here.
We will sift through your history together and figure out what the big priorities are for you. What are the levers that are going to make the biggest changes in how you feel? Symptoms are clues, but looking at systems will give us the map to a better future for you.
“What doesn’t circulate, stagnates.” Cardiovascular and lymphatic circulation are foundational for our health. If your heart isn’t getting the resources it needs to drive efficient blood circulation, or if your lymphatic drainage system is sluggish, you can be in trouble without knowing it.
Unstable blood sugar is the one of the biggest drivers of “inflamm-aging” in modern times. Whether it’s labelled cardiometabolic syndrome or pre-diabetes, it’s the high road to early cognitive decline and a host of other unwelcome conditions like diabetic neuropathy.
Irritable, exhausted, unable to get a refreshing night’s sleep, struggling with stubborn weight? Whether your thyroid is dysregulated, or your reproductive hormones are out of sync, hormone imbalances can really make you feel like the wheels are coming off.
Rather than paper over the problem with hormone replacement therapy, we can think about it from a global perspective: what’s causing this faulty communication?
“It’s just stress” are possibly the most inadequate words ever used to describe a serious threat to your health. Stress and inflammation are at the root of most, if not all, disease conditions. Destructive in their own right, both stress and inflammation can push any weakness in your body to failure.
Life is short, and often difficult. When challenges outweigh the beauty and joy of life, it can be very hard to greet a new day with any enthusiasm. You have too much to offer, and too much to enjoy in this lifetime: just enduring the day is really not enough.
If your digestion is not working well, your whole life is affected, from “oopsie” moments at the dinner table to your immune system’s ability to keep you healthy. And many more health issues can be traced back to gut health than you might suspect. “Almost all our health concerns can be traced back to our belly. Ensure a healthy gut and the rest will take care of itself.”
Aside from public speaking, there is probably nothing more frightening than not being able to rely on your brain. Most of us will not have to face an audience, but all of us need our brains to navigate daily life successfully. When your beautiful brain isn’t at your service, life can be very, very difficult.
Persistent, escalating fatigue is a life-stealer. Everything becomes overwhelming, and everything is exhausting. Any persistent fatigue is concerning, whether or not it fits the description of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
