Premier Integrative Health

We offer science-based programs to help with metabolism, mental health, energy, diabetes, & more.

Our Approach
At Premier Integrative Health, we take a very detailed history and will likely ask you questions that you may have never been asked before by a healthcare provider. We also may utilize advanced testing when needed to help better understand the biochemical makeup of your body and get to the root cause of disease rather than prescribing medication to mask the downstream symptoms. This approach can often identify early signs of chronic disease which allows us to prevent or dramatically reduce your chances of developing the condition in the first place. Some of the conditions we treat…
-Autoimmune Disorders
-Adrenal Fatigue
-Cardiovascular Disease
-Chronic Fatigue
-Depression and Anxiety
-Diabetes
-Digestive disorders (IBS, IBD, Reflux)
-Fibromyalgia
-Food Intolerances/Sensitivity
-Healthy Aging
-Leaky Gut
-Medical Detox
-Medical Weight Loss
-Metabolic Syndrome
-Sleep Insomnia
-Sports Nutrition/Performance
-Thyroid Disease
-Personalized Treatment
-Functional Medical Doctor in KC

In treating these disorders, we see patients reduce or eliminate their needs for prescriptions and medications, maintain a healthy body weight, substantially reduce their body’s inflammation, increase their energy and overall performance. Each patient is provided a personalized medicinal approach giving the optimal results in significantly reducing or overcoming these disorders.

The food you eat is the “3D printer ink” that creates your body, and that includes your brain.

Almost everyone that comes to my clinic complains about some degree of brain fog. While there are many factors that contribute to decreased cognitive function, our diet is a major one.

Hopefully these facts help you rethink what you put in your mouth. No one wants dementia or any neurocognitive disease and it’s your day ti day decisions that will determine your risk.

Just eat real food. The new food pyramid is a great start

This is what extraordinary patient outcomes actually look like behind the scenes.

Every week, our team comes together for dedicated case reviews Physicians, health coaches, nutritionist, and office leadership, all in the same room, focused on the same question:

How can we better support this patient’s journey?

We review progress, troubleshoot obstacles, connect dots, and brainstorm next-level support. No silos. No guessing. No “that’s not my department.”

This kind of team-based communication is almost unheard of in conventional medicine, and honestly, it’s still rare even in functional medicine practices.

But health is complex. Humans are complex. And real transformation doesn’t happen when care is fragmented.

It happens when everyone involved is:
– aligned
– communicating
– and invested in the whole person, not just a lab value or symptom

I’m incredibly grateful to work alongside a team that truly cares, thinks deeply, and collaborates relentlessly, because our patients deserve nothing less.

This is how we do medicine differently at Premier Integrative Health

I enjoyed my “year in review” by ChatGPT. It must know my love language is ‘words of affirmation’ 🤪. All jokes aside, 2025 definitely had its up and downs for Premier Integrative Health.

We had some difficult goodbyes, and welcomed some amazing new members to the team.

We had our fair share of challenges but used them as fuel for growth.

We partnered with a new business mentorship/coaching program that is helping us develop the systems we need to grow our impact as efficiently as possible.

We have completely redesigned our Premier Metabolic Reset program to include the most powerful concepts from some of the most game changing health books of 2025 (Good Energy, Outlive, Young Forever)

One of the highlights of the year for me was finally launching The Premier Health Collective. This is our ‘post program’ community health membership that I truly believe gives humans what they need to succeed in life. Communtiy, accountability, education, mindset, and connection to like minded people.

This year was hard. But after I read the ChatGPT summary it showed me that this year forced me to put the work in and make the hard decisions to set us up for an amazing 2026 and beyond.

Happy New Year friends, I wish you a year full of health, happiness, and vitality.

🙌Expectation: steady improvement
🤯Reality: progress, setback, flare, breakthrough, repeat

Here is why autoimmune healing rarely moves in a straight line:
➠Your immune system adjusts in phases
As inflammation lowers, your immune system recalibrates. This can temporarily shift symptoms before things stabilize.

➠Your gut and microbiome repair in cycles
Gut lining repair, microbiome diversity, and immune tolerance improve in waves, not in one continuous stretch.

➠Your nervous system needs repetition
Each time you come back from a flare, your nervous system learns resilience. This is part of the healing, even if it does not feel like it.

➠Your triggers do not always stack the same way
Stress, sleep, hormones, food reactions, viral exposures, and blood sugar all influence symptoms. When multiple triggers overlap, you feel it. When they calm, you feel that too.

➠Your energy returns gradually
Mitochondrial recovery takes time. Fatigue improves, then dips, then improves again. Completely normal.

Healing is not a straight climb. It is a pattern of growth, recalibration, and integration that still moves forward even when it feels messy.

🌀If you are in a spiral moment, it does not mean you are back at the beginning.

It means your body is still adapting, still learning, still moving upward.

Progress is not perfect. It is persistent.

❌You cannot supplement your way out of an autoimmune flare.❌

Supplements can support recovery, but they will not override the physiology that created the flare in the first place.

Most people reach for turmeric, vitamin D, omega 3s, quercetin, or anti-inflammatory blends, and then get frustrated when nothing changes.

Here is why supplements are not enough on their own:

📌Your inflammatory pathways are already activated
Once cytokines are elevated, your immune system is in a reactive state. A capsule cannot instantly quiet that response.

📌Your gut barrier may be compromised
Leaky gut increases immune activation. If the barrier stays disrupted, inflammation keeps looping no matter what you take.

📌Your stress load matters more than people realize
Stress hormones amplify inflammation. If your nervous system stays activated, flares last longer.

📌Sleep and recovery determine how fast the flare resolves
Your immune system resets at night. Poor sleep makes flares feel endless.

📌Blood sugar instability fuels inflammation
Even mild glucose swings increase cytokine activity and worsen symptoms.

📌Root triggers still need to be addressed
This could be a food reaction, infection, hormone shift, toxin load, or environmental exposure. If the trigger stays active, the flare does too.

Supplements are helpful tools, but they are not the solution.

Your body needs regulation, not just ingredients.

If you are in a flare, the goal is to reduce total inflammatory load and support the systems that influence immune clarity.

When you address the pattern, supplements actually work the way they are supposed to.

❌I don’t just “support immunity”
🔎I decode what is driving the disruption.

Anyone can recommend vitamin C, zinc, elderberry, or a generic immune protocol.

But if your immune system is unpredictable, reactive, or constantly overwhelmed, surface-level support will not fix the underlying issue.💅

In functional medicine, I look for the drivers behind the pattern:

🦠 Is the gut inflamed or permeable
A disrupted gut barrier sends constant immune signals that keep your system on high alert.

🔥 Is background inflammation already elevated
If inflammation is high before you get sick, your immune system cannot respond efficiently.

🧠 Is stress chemistry suppressing or overactivating immunity
Chronic stress changes cytokines, cortisol, and how your immune system interprets threats.

⚡ Are your nutrients depleted
Zinc, vitamin A, vitamin D, selenium, magnesium, omega 3s, and iron are essential for immune accuracy. If they are low, your immune system cannot regulate itself.

🌙 Is your sleep disrupting immune repair
Your immune system does most of its cleanup at night. Poor sleep means poor regulation.

📈 Is blood sugar unstable
Even mild glucose swings weaken immune defenses and increase inflammation. When you decode these patterns, the immune system becomes clearer, steadier, and more predictable.

Symptoms shift because the drivers shift.
🙄I am not interested in “boosting.”

🙌I am interested in understanding what your immune system is responding to and why it is struggling to self-regulate.

😉When you fix the pattern, you change the outcome.

🔔 Holiday season reminder: taking care of your health is the greatest act of self-love.

In the midst of the holiday hustle and bustle, it's easy to get swept away in the excitement and forget to prioritize our well-being. However, your health is the foundation upon which all aspects of your life rest.

This holiday season, don’t forget to incorporate moments of self-care into your festivities. These acts of self-love can have a profound impact on your overall health and happiness. It can be something as small as:

❇️ A peaceful walk in nature
❇️ A moment of mindfulness
❇️ Or a nourishing home-cooked meal

Self-love isn't just about indulging in festive treats (though a little indulgence is part of the fun!), but it's also about making choices that align with your long-term well-being.

It's about listening to your body, nourishing it with wholesome foods, staying active, and getting enough rest. Your body is your lifelong companion…cherish it, nurture it, and allow it the care it deserves.

Reach out to loved ones for support and share the journey of well-being together. The holidays are a time for connection, and collectively, we can inspire and uplift one another to prioritize health and happiness. Wishing you a holiday season filled with love, joy, and self-care. 🌟

Most people assume recovery ends when symptoms fade.🙅🏻♀️

But the post-illness window is a rebuilding phase, and what you eat during this time has a big impact on how quickly you bounce back.

Here is what your body actually needs after an infection and why:
✅You need more glutathione
Your immune system uses glutathione to neutralize oxidative stress and clean up cellular debris. After an illness, your levels drop. Foods that support glutathione help your system finish repairing.

✅You need minerals replenished
Illness increases your demand for zinc, magnesium, potassium, and selenium. These minerals help regulate inflammation, restore energy, and rebuild immune clarity. If your intake stays low, recovery lingers.

✅You need iron support
Viruses temporarily affect how your body uses and transports iron. Low iron availability leads to fatigue, weak immunity, and slower repair. Nourishing iron stores during recovery helps you get your stamina back.

✅You need gut-soothing foods
Your gut takes a hit during illness from inflammation, stress hormones, reduced appetite, and disrupted microbiome balance. Supporting the gut helps stabilize your immune system faster.

✅You need steady blood sugar
Even mild infections disrupt insulin sensitivity. Balanced meals help reduce inflammation and prevent the post-viral crash.

Recovery is not passive.

Your body is still repairing systems, clearing inflammation, and resetting the immune response long after the symptoms are gone.

If you want a faster, smoother recovery next time, support the rebuilding phase with intention.

🧬Autoimmunity is not “just genetics.”
🌪️It is a perfect storm.

Genetics load the gun, but environment and physiology pull the trigger.

This is why two people with the same genetic risk can have completely different outcomes.

In functional medicine, we look at the autoimmune triad:
1️⃣🧬Genetic susceptibility
Genes can increase your likelihood, but they do not guarantee anything. Most people with autoimmune genes never develop a condition unless the other pieces are present.

2️⃣🌍Environmental triggers
This includes infections, toxins, food sensitivities, chronic stress, hormone shifts, viral exposures, and even major life events. These triggers push the immune system into overreactive territory.

3️⃣🦠Increased gut permeability
Leaky gut is often the missing link. When the gut barrier becomes compromised, immune cells are exposed to particles they should never see. This increases immune activation and confusion.

🔃When all three overlap, autoimmunity is far more likely to develop.

And here is the part most people need to hear:
❌This is not your fault.
💫But it is your body’s cry for help.

Autoimmunity happens when the immune system has been carrying too much for too long with too few resources to regulate itself.

The good news is that each part of the triad is modifiable.

You cannot change your genes, but you can change your environment, your gut integrity, and your inflammatory load.

Your body is not attacking you because it is broken.

It is responding to a pattern that has become too much to manage.

Support the pattern and you change the trajectory.

🍾What happens in the gut does not stay in the gut.

Your gut, immune system, and brain work as one loop, so inflammation in one area quickly affects the others.

This is why gut issues rarely stay “just digestive.”

They become:
🚩brain fog
🚩fatigue
🚩mood swings
🚩headaches
🚩skin issues
🚩immune reactivity.

Here is what is actually happening:

📌Leaky gut increases immune activation
When the gut barrier becomes more permeable, particles cross into the bloodstream and your immune system reacts. More immune activation means higher inflammation everywhere.

📌Inflammation travels through the whole body
Cytokines released in the gut enter circulation. They impact energy, mood, memory, pain levels, and hormone balance.

📌Histamine rises when the gut is irritated
Gut dysbiosis and poor detox pathways increase histamine load. This leads to headaches, flushing, itching, anxiety, light sensitivity, and sleep disturbances.

📌The brain reacts to gut-driven inflammation
Cytokines influence serotonin, dopamine, and the vagus nerve. This is why gut inflammation often feels like anxiety, irritability, or low motivation.

📌Your immune system shifts into a reactive state
The more inflammation your gut produces, the more reactive your immune system becomes toward food, the environment, and stress.

🔑The takeaway:

If your symptoms feel random, unpredictable, or “all over the place,” they might not be separate issues at all.

They could be one gut-driven loop affecting multiple systems.

Support the gut and the rest of the body becomes easier to regulate.

Just waiting for someone to run the right tests so I can stop questioning reality 🫠

If you have symptoms and “perfect” labs, you are not imagining it.

Standard bloodwork often misses the early stages of immune dysregulation, inflammation, gut issues, hormonal shifts, and nutrient deficiencies.

Here is what normal labs do not always catch:
🆘 early autoimmunity
🆘 mild gut permeability
🆘 chronic infections
🆘 mitochondrial dysfunction
🆘 cortisol curve disruptions
🆘 blood sugar instability
🆘 micronutrient depletion
🆘 histamine issues
🆘 inflammatory cytokines

This is why so many people get told they are fine when they clearly are not.

❌You do not need dramatic lab abnormalities to feel terrible.
✅You need someone who knows which systems to look at and why the symptoms are happening in the first place.
