Drs. We can HELP! In-Person & Remote services. A Little Bit About Us…

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-given potential for Health, Wellness and Vitality. Our proven approach to healthcare turns this Truth to action… and results. Dr. Marc is from St. Louis, MO and earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Southwest Missouri State University, majoring in Human Biology. Dr. Colleen is from Harrow, Ontario. 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!)

We are incredibly passionate about all-things Health & Wellness. We love what we do AND we love to continue learning.

Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Wellness Practitioner Certification Program, BioCranial & Cranial Adjusting Techniques, Quantum Reflex Analysis Nutrition Testing, and more. The real testament to these advancements is the thousands of lives changed for the better through this work over the last three decades. We’ve been honored to take care of so many wonderful people over the years. Here’s just a glimpse of what some of them have shared about their care with us:

“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. It is so refreshing to come to an office where I feel like I have new teammates in recovering my health. 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. They’re the best health advocates to have on your team!”

Gut Check: You can follow the advice to "trust your gut"... unless your gut is messed up! 😉

Your gut can keep you calm and resilient, or keep you inflamed. 🔥

That's right - your Microbiome talks to your Nervous System every second of every day, and vice versa.

When your Microbiome is healthy and balanced, it sends calming signals to the brain, allowing you to think clearly, remain more peaceful, learn new information & skills more easily, and more readily recall details, names, locations, & memories.

But when your Microbiome is NOT optimally healthy, it fuels inflammation, stress, anxiety, and burnout. The negative, trickle-down effect begins and the cycle continues until you do something to properly intervene.

The key to stress resilience isn't just 'MENTAL'. It's MICROBIAL!

Let's get to work at the source of the issue so you can reset your stress circuits!

♥️

P.S. The Microbiome Roadmap Reset is on sale for just a couple more days! Take $200 off 'til the end of the day Saturday February 14th. ☺️ https://LifetimeWellness.as.me/?appointmentType=61268839

Doing all the *right things* for your health?

You eat pretty well overall. 🥑
You exercise regularly. 🏋🏻
You get enough sleep most nights. 😴
You take your supplements. 💪

But your energy still isn’t where it should be. Your brain isn’t as sharp as it used to be. You’re getting ‘puffy’ and gaining weight. Your hormones seem to be all over the map (men, too). Your skin has chronic issues. Your gut is a mess (constipated, diarrhea, indigestion, bloating, gas, etc.). Your immune system doesn’t seem resilient and you seem to get ‘sick’ pretty frequently.

When healthy habits aren’t producing healthy results, it usually means the issue isn’t EFFORT — it’s hidden metabolic stress… which can be caused by: - underlying (undetected) chronic infection
- toxicity/under-performing detox pathways
- cellular malnutrition
- cellular/systemic inflammation

✨The Metabolic Vulnerability Test (MVX) is a simple, cost-effective functional blood test that helps identify where your body shows the greatest *vulnerability* right now (infections, toxicity, malnutrition, or inflammation). With this information in hand, your health strategy can be targeted and prioritized with a clear plan based on what YOUR body is needing right NOW.

Because doing more isn’t always the answer.
Doing the right thing for YOUR unique health needs is.

⬇️

You can order the MVX test here for $95, which includes your results consult: https://LifetimeWellness.as.me/?appointmentType=85105725:

You don’t have to be a member of our practice or live locally to order the test! We’ll email you the order form that you can take to any LabCorp testing facility convenient to you.

THIS is intelligen, proactive HEALTHCARE… vs. waiting around ‘til you need “sickness care.”

Part 2: Not all probiotics (and pre-biotics) influence your ecosystem the same way.

As discussed in Part 1, most probiotics on the market today are what we call traditional or generational probiotic strains. These are not native to the human microbiome, and they tend to work only while you're taking them, which means they act as temporary or transient colonizers. If you're not currently taking them, they're not working... they didn't reset or optimize anything long term by any means.

💡Reminder: The "holobiome" is a new concept to most folks (even healthcare folks), but it's where the most current & cutting edge health research is focusing. It can essentially be described as the interaction between YOUR DNA and the DNA of your microbes... which out number your 'human' cells, by the way! Your holobiome shapes your overall health... and who you are. It's a pretty big deal. 😎

Supporting the holobiome isn't about adding random microbes (probiotics) or adding an array of herbs and supplements. It's about strategically restoring the species that drive function, enhance communication, and enable that system to perform at its full potential.

So we need to move beyond what we're currently doing in the natural health world when it comes to transient/temporary colonizers (probiotics) to upgraded species that support what leaders in research have discovered... otherwise, our approach falls short, is outdated, and incomplete.

Continuing the conversation of specific species from Part 1...

Keystone species - they drive 70–90% of your health when it comes to probiotics in clinical care. They play very specific roles, even though their quantity isn't mighty, their impact is. They restore missing functions that regulate the whole system — things like short chain fatty acid production, barrier integrity, immune tolerance, and metabolic signaling, for starters. They rebalance microbial networks instead of just temporarily adding bacteria.

Next Generation probiotics are often human derived organisms and identified through deep microbiome analysis and next generation sequencing. They're selected because they influence very specific pathways and disease processes, like metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, and immune signaling.

Many of them are being developed even beyond supplements as live biotherapeutic drugs, which means they go through rigorous safety and efficacy testing.

So when refer to Next Generation, we're talking about microbes identified with advanced tools, for very targeted therapeutic roles, and developed along a pharmaceutical pathway. This category also includes important human native species that most traditional probiotics aren't even including.

Hopefully someday this will change (ie. catch up!), but right now, we really don't see this advanced quality and components coming from the overwhelming majority of nutrition companies.

So...

These aren't just another probiotic. They're grounded in clinical microbiology, ecological dynamics and translational gut science. This is how we effectively heal, optimize, and RESET the holobiome / microbiome to create a powerful foundational shift in your health!

What makes our Microbiome/Holobiome Roadmap Reset unique is that we don't choose between the categories we've been discussing. We intentionally combine human, native keystone species, with Next Generation strains to restore function at the ecosystem level... not just transient, partial, or limited support... but the level of support you need for a full RESET!

We can confidently say that, if you really need something positive to shift in your health because you're currently dealing with a health challenge, OR you simply want to be as proactive as possible with taking care of yourself and improving your health... this Microbiome Roadmap Reset is one of T H E smartest health choices you can make. It all begins with your FOUNDATION!

✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨

(The good news is that both our 1-person and 2-person programs are currently on sale thru February 14th - $200 off! ♥️Good timing.)

You can order here https://LifetimeWellness.as.me/?appointmentType=61268839 for the 1-person program, or here https://LifetimeWellness.as.me/?appointmentType=86395451 for the 2-person program... or you can simply connect with us for all of our payment options.👍

✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨

⭐️(P.S. While doing a specialized program like this can quite literally help with anything & everything in your body because your Microbiome/Holobiome/ecosystem influences everything else... if you SPECIFICALLY have hormonal issues/imblances, GI issues, immune issues, chronic skin issues, or you're experiencing some cognitive issues/brain fog... this is our #1 recommendation for your starting point. It's next to impossible to have optimal function in those areas if your Microbiome isn't healthy.)

Part 1: Your probiotics may not be as effective as you think.

Not all probiotics influence your ecosystem in the same way.

Most of what's out there on the market (even from health stores and holistic health folks), or what we call traditional or generational probiotics, are not native to the human microbiome.

They tend to work only while you're taking them, which means they’re only temporary or transient colonizers. So the minute you stop taking them, you lose the benefits and symptoms return. If those healthy ‘bugs’ are only transient, they’re not actually resetting anything. (Think "lactobacillus" and "bifidobacterium", two of the most common strains you'll see).

They're also considered single-action strains, not thorough ecosystem architects.

They offer short term support, but they don't reorganize a dysbiotic ecosystem. That's what we really need in order to create the desired impact on our overall health. Transient, short-term, and single-action aren't nearly enough.

Then we have spore-forming bacteria or "soil-based organisms" (SBO's). They are a step up in terms of survivability. They're very resilient, and they provide strong functional support, because they survive stomach acid and environmental stress well.

BUT they also behave primarily as transient colonizers, which limits their ability to create long term structural change in the microbiome. Again, that is what we're trying to achieve - long term structural change to create long term improved function and health.

When you start looking at the body as a ✨Holobiome✨ (your human DNA + the DNA of these microbes + how they interact to shape your overall expression of health), the question really changes!

It's no longer a question of which probiotic survives the stomach. The question becomes which probiotic can actually change how my ecosystem functions? 💥

Adding more probiotic strains is not the answer. The Holobiome doesn't thrive on variety alone. It thrives on balance, cross-feeding, keystone activity, and stable microbial networks.

Without human, native, and keystone species in place, no amount of random probiotic strains is going to fix the dysbiosis that's sabotaging your health and vitality.

(More on these distinguished species in Part 2.)

These are the key components of our Microbiome (Holobiome) Roadmap Reset. This is exactly why it's considered transformational and foundational.

When you need BIG health improvements, you go foundational first. Start at the top and everything falls into place.

Need advanced lab tests ordered? ✅

Need a “functional” interpretation of your labs so you can address the source of the imbalance? ✅

We’ve got you! ✅

01/31/2026

If symptoms keep returning, it’s usually not because you “didn’t try hard enough.”

Many health approaches focus on chasing symptoms (which really isn't keeping "health" the main focus)... OR they focus on a single 'goal' like:
• suppressing inflammation
• killing microbes
• detoxing quickly

BUT when the underlying ecosystem isn’t ready for these changes, the body adapts defensively — NOT restoratively.

You end up feeling more stressed, physically, as well as mentally/emotionally.

Imagine trying to drain a bathtub with the plug still in.

That’s what happens when detox, or gut protocols, or hormone protocols (etc) are done OUT of sequence. You end up "recirculating the problems" and not really getting any better... not really improving your function or changing the direction you're headed.

Healing works best when the body is:
• prepared
• supported
• restored in the right order

When the foundation is properly addressed, the body is significantly better able to heal, reverse chronic imbalances, start moving in a healthier direction, and prevent more health issues down the road.

Your approach - your system - MATTERS.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Your Microbiome is one of the biggest players of your "foundation". It's the ecosystem that exists throughout your ENTIRE body and influences every single cell, tissue, organ, gland, system, and function!

If you had to focus on improving ONE thing right now, pick your Microbiome!

When your Microbiome is healthier, so is your immune system, your brain, your GI system, your hormonal balance & function, your body's detoxification systems, your skin, your resilience, your metabolism, your energy, your sleep... ALL of you!

The Microbiome Roadmap Reset is a brilliantly designed 5-month program thoughtfully designed to heal, restore, and rejuvenate this foremost component of your foundational health.

It's intelligent health care AND health insurance.

Right now, the Microbiome Roadmap Reset is $200 off until February 14th, 2026. It's the prefect time to step in and elevate your health choices!

You don't have to be a practice member of ours or live locally to do this program - you can do this from anywhere in the U.S. 🇺🇸

You can have conventional lab tests that are “in range”… yet you still feel off.

The MVX test (Metabolic Vulnerability Index) looks at how systems interact, not just whether numbers crossed a line.

It helps reveal:
• Silent metabolic stress
• Chronic immune activation
• Early vulnerability that routine labs often miss.

If you’ve ever thought “something isn’t right, but my labs are normal” — this test can help solve some mysteries and point you in the direction your body is needing you to go right now.

It points you toward your body’s biggest health priorities right now so you can focus your efforts there and reduce your ‘vulnerability’ to health issues down the road.

At just $95 (including your results consultation), it’s a simple way to find out what the mainstream tests are missing.

You don’t have to be a current practice member of ours to have this test done, either. You can order it here https://LifetimeWellness.as.me/?appointmentType=85105725 and we’ll send you the order form you just take to any LabCorp lab to have the test done. Easy!
