We use a functional health approach to manage and prevent chronic diseases that stem from lifestyle choices, environmental exposure, and genetic influences. We partner with our patients not only to seek comprehensive answers for their health concerns, but also to develop a plan for wellness aimed at improving their quality of life. Our practice incorporates the best diagnostic methods and technologies from conventional medicine with innovative tests and tools that help identify the critical imbalances at the root of all illness.
Using this information, we develop your plan, create your roadmap for success, and provide you with 1-on-1 coaching, goal setting, and accountability to make sure we achieve the goals you set for yourself.
We also provide ongoing education and support to help you truly take command of your health TODAY and into your future.
Simply put, you and your health are as important to us at Simply Health as it is to YOU.
What is Functional Medicine?
Rather than a disease-centered model, functional medicine focuses on the patient, considering all aspects of an individual’s genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors to promote optimal performance of the body and its organs. Both internal (mind, body, genes and spirit) and external (physical and social environment) factors will be addressed during treatment.
Instead of treating symptoms, functional health seeks to reveal the underlying causes of disease.
Individualized Treatment
Our peptide therapy delivers the following potential benefits for your health and wellness:
Our personalized approach to healthcare recognizes that every person is biochemically unique and deserves individualized treatment. Our team works with each client to implement treatment programs that work towards achieving the patient’s individual health objectives.
The latest laboratory testing and other diagnostic techniques will be used to identify malfunctions that require correction in order to build health and vitality. Unlike traditional treatments, a functional medicine approach not only serves patients with current health conditions, but also yields significant benefits in optimizing one’s health.
We use a combination of traditional and functional testing to get the necessary information. Tests may use blood, saliva, urine, or stool.
Below are some of the tests commonly ordered to help determine our approach and help us customize a plan:
- Cardiovascular evaluation to look at oxidation, inflammation, and lipoprotein function.
- Sex hormone, thyroid and HPA evaluation (pituitary, thyroid, ovaries, testes, and adrenal).
- Metabolic evaluation (insulin sensitivity, carbohydrate intolerance, satiety signaling, and fat storage).
- Cardiac genetics & cardiogenomic testing.
- Markers of congestive heart failure & heart stress.
- Stool test (digestion, microbiome, inflammation, and pathogens).
- Nutrient evaluation (vitamins, minerals, and amino acids).
- Food and allergy sensitivity testing.
- Telomere testing (age of your cells).
- Toxicity screening / MTHFR testing (liver and kidney function and heavy metal toxicity).
