What We Do
Food Heals.
By focusing on restoring balance in the basic biological networks of our body, diseases often improve or resolve. - Dr. Mark Hyman, MD
Anti-Inflammatory Food
What do nearly all modern diseases have in common? Inflammation. Depression, cancer, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, dementia, allergies, asthma, chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, and more are all inflammatory diseases. That begs the question, what is causing all this rampant inflammation? It’s mostly our food—too many inflammatory foods and not enough anti-inflammatory foods. Our immune system attempts to keep a perfect balance, always on surveillance for danger. A little bit of immune activation is good; a lot, not so much. Obesity and chronic disease are inflammatory states, predominantly caused by our modern diet. While there are other causes of inflammation, such as toxins, allergens, infections, and stress, food plays the greatest role for most of us.
We dig for the ROOTS of your ailment; not just mask the symptoms.
Functional nutrition is deeply steeped in functional medicine, a health care practice that attempts to understand and resolve the underlying root causes of imbalance and illness in the body. Functional nutrition is at the core of the functional medicine approach for the prevention and resolution of disease, emphasizing diet and lifestyle changes, and nutritional supplements.

Balanced blood sugar helps keep our brain healthy, our energy levels stable and our mood balanced.
Through counseling sessions and specific blood panel analysis, our approach will teach you why and how
CHOLESTEROL
The main goal of this treatment is to lower, or control, your LDL level to minimize your personal risk for heart attack or cardiovascular disease
Many traditional doctors will prescribe Statins, or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors to lower LDL cholesterol by reducing the liver's production of cholesterol.
