FAQs

What are holistic and functional medicine and how do they differ from traditional medicine?

Holistic practitioners approach wellness through a multidimensional lens recognizing the person as a combination of mental, emotional, social, physical, intellectual, and spiritual aspects. Functional medicine practitioners focus on individual root cause analysis vs. the symptoms of individuals incorporating genetic and biochemical differences which contribute to health imbalances.

How does a Wellness Model contrast with the existing Traditional Medical Model?

The traditional ‘Sickness Model’ of healthcare is designed to treat symptoms, leading to increasing chronic disease development. Shifting to a ‘Wellness Model’ addresses the root causes of symptoms which contribute to whole body inflammation. Removing these chemicals, heavy metals, molds, and parasite burdens on the body along with supplementing deficiencies allows the natural immune system to reboot and heal.

Are you able to help children?

During an initial consultation with both parent and child, a decision will be made on potential benefits of detoxification and healing techniques needed. Common childhood inflammatory conditions such food allergies, behavioral abnormalities, and vaccination contamination can be difficult to reverse, requiring 3-6 months of intense supplementation and other therapies in collaboration with other healthcare professionals.

How long does it take to detoxify?

Detoxification is an ongoing process to eliminate existing harmful toxins in the body and indentify/reduce future exposure. Some elimination techniques and changes to diet and environment are simple and quick. Others are more extensive and time consuming. 

Individuals who are obese, have congested organs, or have significant neurological complaints may take 9 – 12 months to see significant improvements. Others with minor complaints can experience significant detoxification benefits in 3 – 6 months. As we are continuously exposed to environmental, food, and other toxins, detoxification should be an ongoing part of our wellness journey.

What is your philosophy on weight loss and management?

“Progress, Not Perfection”. Long term success in maintaining a healthy weight requires lifestyle changes over fad diets. A careful review of current eating habits can identify small and large changes which will greatly impact transition to healthier food choices. Thoughtful planning of 3-5 options for each meal and appropriate portion sizes will decrease the chance of either hunger or inappropriate food choices. Reviewing better options for 3-5 restaurants will assure that not last-minute choices are made which can result in overeating.

Reducing carbohydrates (sugar, processed foods, breads, starchy vegetables) and increasing high-quality meats and fats will shift the body into ketosis and burn fat at a higher rate resulting in rapid weight loss.

While the trend is to use injectable GLP-1 stimulants like Ozempic and Wegovy, these drugs are made in a laboratory and have significant short and long-term adverse events which may be permanent. Introducing natural herbs and probiotics which increase GLP-1 may assist to reduce appetite and weight loss, if desired.

When accounts are set up by Quest and Labcorp, lab results will be mailed to individuals and stored on these online accounts for quick reference. Labs from FullScript and Vibrant Wellness will be sent to the health coach and discussed during future calls.
