What To Expect

All treatments are complimentary to the therapies given by other healthcare professionals. A collaborative and team approach is taken with you and other health care providers with regards to your care, including possible referrals for pharmaceutical prescriptions

Typically in the first year, clients will come in every 4 to 8 weeks for treatment, depending on the condition. As your body strengthens and begins to heal on its own, visits will become less frequent. The ultimate goal is to empower you through diet and lifestyle to maintain optimal health with continued support when needed; ideally monitoring your lab values and health once or twice a year to help you stay on track

In cases of chronic and severe conditions, it is important to understand it often takes years to manifest. Reversing the process can happen fast, but it will take time for your body to strengthen and heal. This is done through specifically tailored treatments appropriate for the individual and may involve cellular detoxification, diet and lifestyle, psychoneuroimmunology and mind-body medicine allowing your body to reach its full healing potential.

Your first visit will be a one-hour session where we go through your health concerns, medical history, previous treatments and any necessary physical exams. We will discuss prior lab results that you have submitted and/or if there is a need to do further blood work and or functional medical testing.. You will be provided with an initial treatment plan to get started towards your health goals.

Follow-ups are typically 15 mins to 1 hr in length and focus on assessing your response since your last visit and determining appropriate modifications and adjustments to your treatment plan. Length for your next follow up will be discuss and recommended for you at the end of each appointment.
