PHILOSOPHY
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
NUTRITION & LIFESTYLE

Advanced, comprehensive lab work that far exceeds conventional testing is utilized to explore all systems of the patient's body at the deepest level possible. Blood, urine, stool, saliva and breath testing identify critical imbalances with significantly greater precision and sensitivity than standard labs. Physician-grade prescription supplements and targeted nutritional strategies are employed to restore balance and optimize all biomarkers, treating the root cause and helping each patient reach their fullest human potential.

Food truly is medicine. Eastern Nutrition  uniquely focuses on food's inherent thermal nature, taste and effect in balancing the body. Ancestral Nutrition places an emphasis on identifying the most nutrient-dense and bioavialble evolutionary foods. The integration of both philosophies yields an incredibly healing foundation on which to thrive. Individualized lifestyle and behavior modifications are also implemented as essential components to creating real, lasting

harmony and wellness.
