With the epidemic of chronic disease in America today continuing to rise to unprecedented proportions, a new approach is needed. More than 60% of all US adults have at least one of 10 named major chronic illnesses, and 40% have at least two. Only 10% of Americans are metabolically health. When so many people are in poor health, many people lose sight of what good health looks like, and forget that good health and vitality is a natural human state of being.
Our unique methods begin with helping you understand human physiology in an evolutionary context in plain language, for a very important reason: Most modern illnesses are driven by the evolutionary mismatch, which means that our genes are not yet adapted to the modern environment. Yet we have control and agency over how we respond to our environment, through the choices we make, how we eat, move, and live, which in turn “talks to” our genes, creating the conditions for health and vitality, or for disease.
In order to initiate the necessary physiological, functional, and immune changes required to support a life of strong energy, good health, resilience, happiness, and mental and emotional well-being, we must first assess each client’s state of health in a way that gives us insight into the best way to make powerful positive changes in each client’s bodily function.
We use 4 pillars in our approach. Evolutionary Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, fused with modern Functional Medicine, and a deeper understanding of human psychology in order to understand the current state of each client’s bodily functions with nuance and clarity.
