Welcome to Lifetime Wellness! We’re in our 31st year of serving our community together. E.g.

Marc & Colleen VanHoogstraat Are Your Source for Family & Performance Chiropractic Care Plus Functional Medicine Testing and Results-Driven Advanced Nutrition Programs. Our names are Dr. Marc VanHoogstraat and Dr. Colleen Trombley-VanHoogstraat. Our mission is to help people achieve optimal health & function, and to teach that lasting health comes from within. We are created with an unlimited God-

She attended the University of Windsor earning her Bachelor of Human Kinetics degree, majoring in Applied Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology. We met as post-grad students at Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis where we graduated as Doctors of Chiropractic in 1994. We moved to Michigan and opened our practice in 1995. We were married at our home in Lakeville and have been blessed by two fabulous children (now college ‘kids’), Jacqueline and Braeden. (update: Jacqueline is now a Hillsdale College grad, married her college sweetie Justin, and now they both work at Hillsdale College!)

“Their presence in this community has been a blessing to all who have benefited from their committed care. The love and the energy they have put into providing the best care possible for the families of our community has been a marvel to watch.”

“Dr. Marc and Dr. Colleen have a true passion for what they do and what they do is never less than outstanding. It is evident that they are committed to doing what’s right and don’t just settle for taking the path of least resistance.”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! … I have changed to a much healthier lifestyle. They are fantastic people and great specialists. They truly focus on the root of the problems.”

“Both Dr. Colleen and Dr. Marc have proven to be wonderful listeners and incredibly caring practitioners with a very wide-ranging knowledge base.

My long term health recovery journey got so much brighter when I started coming to their office!”

“Working with Drs. Marc & Colleen is like having your own private investigators for your health… they keep digging to find the underlying sources of any health problems (often missed by conventional doctors and tests) and then provide completely doable solutions to get better.

The Connection Between Stress & Chronic Illness

Chronic stress disrupts hormone balance, weakens immunity, and contributes to inflammation.

At Lifetime Wellness in Oxford, MI, we assess stress physiology through functional lab testing, including adrenal and cortisol patterns (the HPA axis).

When stress becomes prolonged, it can impact thyroid health, blood sugar stability, gut integrity, and sleep quality.

Our approach focuses on restoring resilience through nutrition, nervous system support, and lifestyle adjustments.

By calming the stress response, the body regains its ability to regulate and heal more effectively.

If ongoing stress may be impacting your health, we can help you take practical steps toward recovery.

Your Microbiome isn’t ’just your gut’.
It isn’t ‘just about digestion’.

Your Microbiome is a wildly impressive, intricate, and comprehensive living ecosystem comprised of trillions of microbes. Yep, microbes.

Don’t be grossed out - these little buggers are keeping you alive, functioning, and healthy!

They help regulate:
- Cognitive function
- Immune balance
- Inflammation
- Metabolism
- Digestion
- Hormones
- Stress response
- Sleep
- Emotional health
- Gene expression

… so if your Microbiome isn’t flourishing, symptoms might not show up in the way you’d think. Our mainstream thinking is far too limited when it comes to the far-reaching effects of the Microbiome.

Your Microbiome doesn’t work in isolation - it communicates with EVERY system every second of every day.

So when your health is “off” in any way, or you just want to optimize & maximize your health potential, tending to your Microbiome is not only common sense, it’s one of the most intelligent health decisions you can make.

It’s foundational.
If you skip working on the foundation, nothing else will work as it should.

Throwing probiotics at it isn’t your wisest strategy, either... at least not in the way you might be thinking.

Probiotics alone don’t fix an ecosystem!

“Just taking probiotics” or “increasing the number of strains” is pretty outdated, honestly.

The problem isn’t just missing certain strains of bacteria/microbes. It’s a disrupted ecosystem.

(Think about our modern day level of toxicity, deficiency, and stress and you’ll begin to understand WHY our poor ecosystems aren’t supporting us as they could be!)

Adding more STUFF to the mix without fixing and supporting your environment doesn’t really work. Your body may compensate some, but not really heal.

Improving the health and function of your Microbiome requires the proper master plan… preparation & support of the gut and elimination pathways, providing specific microbes selected for their functional roles and introduced in the right sequence, support for how your systems communicate, healing & strengthening your gut barrier, intelligent use of superior products that provide this level of support… it’s quite an impressive process!

When the ecosystem changes, ALL your systems change, and lasting results become the expected norm.

Take care of your foundation and it will take care of YOU!

This is the reason we recommend our incomparable 5-phase Microbiome Roadmap Reset to anyone wanting (or NEEDING) a significant shift in their health… or anyone wanting the best possible health insurance.

It’s foundational.
It’s simply common sense (but maybe not that ‘common’!).
It’s truly intelligent healthcare.

For more information about our Microbiome Roadmap, connect with us at (248) 628-4886 or email GetHealthy@LifetimeWellness.net… or stop by if you’re local! (You don’t need to live local to do the reset… we work with people near and far to help them recover their health!) ♥️

Preventive Functional Medicine in Oxford, MI

Health is easier to maintain than to rebuild.

At Lifetime Wellness in Oxford, MI, Functional Medicine is not only for chronic illness — it’s also for prevention.

By evaluating nutrition, stress levels, inflammation markers, gut health, and hormone balance early, we can identify patterns before they become larger issues.

Preventive functional care allows patients to optimize energy, mental clarity, metabolic function, and immune resilience.

When combined with Chiropractic care to optimize nervous system function, the body is better equipped to adapt and self-regulate.

Prevention isn’t reactive — it’s proactive.

📞 If you’re ready to take a more intentional approach to your long-term health, schedule a consultation today.

Detoxification Done the Right Way

Detox is not about extreme cleanses.

It’s about supporting the body’s natural detoxification systems — primarily the liver, gut, and kidneys.

At Lifetime Wellness in Oxford, MI, we use functional lab testing and personalized nutrition to evaluate detox capacity and toxin burden.

When detox pathways are sluggish, symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, skin issues, or hormone imbalance may appear.

Through targeted nutritional support and lifestyle adjustments, we help strengthen these natural systems gently and effectively.

True detoxification improves clarity, energy, and resilience — without harsh protocols.

If you’re interested in safe, science-based detox support in Oxford, we’d be happy to discuss whether it’s right for you.

Inflammation — The Hidden Driver of Chronic Illness

Chronic inflammation plays a role in many health challenges, from joint pain and digestive distress to hormone imbalance and metabolic disorders.

At Lifetime Wellness in Oxford, MI, we use Functional Medicine to assess inflammatory markers and identify triggers such as MVX scores, gut imbalance, toxins, and chronic stress.

Instead of suppressing inflammation, we work to remove the drivers.

By improving gut integrity, optimizing nutrition, and supporting detox pathways, the body can often regulate inflammation more effectively on its own.

Reducing inflammation frequently leads to improvements in energy, clarity, digestion, and overall vitality.

If you suspect inflammation may be contributing to your symptoms, we can help uncover the underlying cause.
