Diabesity affects one out of every two Americans, but what is it? Dr. Mark Hyman talks about a condition of imbalances in blood sugar ranging from a small amount of belly fat to type 2 diabetes which he calls ‘diabesity.’ 90% of people don’t even know they have it.

To where you ask?

To vitality, not to the absence of disease!

The areas we prioritize in our life tend to be the areas which thrive. Preoccupying ourselves with ‘healing’ and curing diseases when they happen isn’t going to prevent them from ever arising.

By shifting the priority to ensuring optimum health instead of ‘preventing disease’, we cause that experience of ‘health’ to be elevated to a level we may not even recognize ourselves capable of feeling!

Our bodies are designed to feel GOOD - they are designed not to merely help us ‘get by’, but to actually serve as a vessel through which we can elevate our experience of the world around us.

Taking care of your body is a full-time job and shouldn’t just be done in the interim between illnesses. It’s a small price to pay, and you’ll find the healthier your attitude towards maintaining everyday health becomes, the lower the frequency of illness itself will be, too!

Are you among the 74% of Americans who currently live with some kind of GI (gastrointestinal) discomfort?

Chances are that much of your discomfort stems from an underlying imbalance - not just the block of cheese you consumed last night!

While certain foods aggravate digestion in some people more than others, there is usually more going on down there. The absorption of nutrients from food which takes place in the gut is said to be disturbed if we experience any of the following:

-Bloating

-Gas

-Diarrhea/Constipation

-Painful/irregular stools

-Acid reflux

-A number of other related issues

Instead of popping a pill to pass through and temporarily remove your discomfort, how about getting to the bottom of WHY it’s happening in the first place? Identifying which foods to eliminate from your diet (and which to include in order to minimize these symptoms) is where functional health experts can help you!

The World Health Organization regards iodine deficiency to be the most prevalent and easily preventable cause of impaired cognitive development in children.

This trace mineral is essential for normal thyroid function and the production of thyroid hormones as well as plays a vital role in the process of early growth and development of most organs, especially the brain.

Take a look at these statistics:

- The National Health Nutritional Examination Survey reported that iodine levels have decreased by 50% in the last 30 years.

- According to the WHO, iodine deficiency affects 72% of the world’s population.

Iodine deficiency risk factors include low dietary intake, selenium deficiency, smoking, and fluoridated water.

Hormones account for a huge percentage of our overall functionality as they help to maintain homeostasis (or a state of ‘balance’) within the body.

If one element or hormone becomes imbalanced, this starts a flood of imbalances which passes through the body and makes the likelihood of illness even greater. In functional health, we aim to identify these imbalances BEFORE they get a chance to manifest in the body as illness!

Common symptoms of hormone imbalances include:

-Fatigue

-Weight gain

-Low libido

-Anxiety

-Insomnia

-Sweating

If you think you might have a hormone imbalance, it’s important to make yourself aware of which hormones are involved in your symptoms and how best to combat them, rather than simply treating the symptom (ie, taking medication to soothe anxiety).

As more doctors begin offering complementary and alternative therapies, functional medicine is beginning to infiltrate the mainstream approach.

We know how important it is to prevent illness and disease in our kids, so why stop when it comes to taking care of ourselves?

So much of functional medicine involves ensuring the body is properly equipped to deal with the onset of illness or infection, and there’s no better way to do this than to ensure your diet is rich in vitamins and minerals which boost your immune system.

Some of the most effective immune-system boosting foods (which can be found easily in most supermarkets) include:

-Citrus fruits

-Bell peppers

-Broccoli

-Spinach and Kale

-Almonds and other nuts

-Garlic

-Ginger

-Yogurt

Are there some foods here you could try to include more of in your diet?

How many time have you gone to a doctor seeking answers just to leave with a new prescription but no explanation? This is all too common in the current healthcare arena!

The good news is that the landscape of healthcare is changing! Functional medicine offers more progressive, holistic, and effective options.

Traditional doctors are doing their best but current training does not equip them to treat chronic disease or even prevent them. However, more physicians are being trained in both functional and integrative medicine to address the root cause of disease.

It’s time to expect more from healthcare!

As inflammation accounts for the beginnings of so many common diseases we deal with in our world today, it makes sense to target the initial stages of inflammation to reduce the chances of more serious illnesses developing.

Functional medicine advocates following an anti-inflammatory diet as a proven way to impact this!

Reduce your chances of developing or worsening inflammation by eating:

-Tomatoes

-Olive oil

-Leafy greens like spinach and kale

-Nuts like almonds and walnuts

-Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna

-Fruits like strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and oranges

What’s your favorite anti-inflammatory food?

Diet and nutrition form the foundation of health, however, the typical modern diet lacks several very important nutrients.

Did you know that iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the world, affecting more than 25% of people worldwide?

Iron deficiency leads to lower red blood cell counts making oxygen less available in the body (which explains why symptoms include tiredness, weakness, weakened immune system, and impaired brain function).

Did you know that many common illnesses and serious disease can be linked back to inflammation?

As a root cause, inflammation is a vastly overlooked issue that has been known to impact symptoms of cardiovascular health, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and Crohn's disease. Even high blood pressure and high cholesterol can be linked to inflammation!

Think about it!

Arthritis = inflammation of the joints.

Heart disease = inflammation of the arteries.

Instead of taking medication to reduce joint pain or lower cholesterol, functional medicine focuses on how we would be better served by reducing inflammation in the body.

There are tons of ways we can do this, stay tuned!

If you are battling from a chronic health condition, realize there just may be hope…

Today there are many common chronic conditions such as thyroid problems, autoimmune disorders, digestive disorders, chronic fatigue, blood sugar problems, chronic pain, anxiety or depression or cardiovascular challenges. If you are feeling like you are at the end of your rope or simply don’t want to get there, then understand that there are effective options that you may not be aware of. But these options do require that you think outside the mainstream box a little.

Many sufferers of chronic conditions have been able to resolve their health challenges with a holistic approach that looks deeper into the underlying factors that brought about your condition. While prescription medication options effectively serve to address the short-term concerns many have found it in the long run to be an incomplete remedy.

Science and technology have advanced to allow physicians to understand health problems at a deeper level rather than temporarily treating the surface symptoms.

Functional medicine is a rapidly growing approach that utilizes this science and technology. It is uniquely effective at getting at the root cause of problems and helping restore health where many medicine-based approaches fall short.

Our office takes the unique approach of determining where the important root cause factors lie. It is our philosophy that the body can heal itself as long as there is no interference. We agree with Hippocrates who said,

“The greatest medicine of all is teaching people how not to need it.”

If you can recreate a balance in your bodies ‘broken’ physiology and restore normal function again then it is more than reasonable to expect your health to return and need for medication to subside.

We offer unique approaches for those seeking to maximize their health regardless of their health condition including but not limited to:

Thyroid problems, digestive disorders, chronic fatigue, blood sugar problems, chronic pain, anxiety or depression or cardiovascular challenges.

Our process includes sitting with you and actually listening to your health concerns, worries, ideas and ultimately your health goals. Next, we determine the best course of of action including root cause testing to help determine what is causing your health challenges. After testing we layout a pathway for your success utilizing holistic means including non-invasive customized nutritional means.
