A Journey to Regain My Health

The best way to get started is to either schedule your Free Consultation to learn more about how we can help you, or to watch Healthy for Jesus and learn more about our approach to limiting and mitigating systemic inflammation. We know that systemic inflammation is the root cause of most all chronic disease, including many cancers as well as cognitive decline. Our approach teaches you how to stop contributing to inflammation and how to improve (mitigate) the damage you have already unknowingly caused. You can also watch a free video about inflammation on the services page of our website here (just scroll down a little bit and you'll see the video about inflammation).

When I first started working with clients 1:1 I found myself spending a lot of time talking about foundational things like foods to add more of, foods to eat less of, how much water to drink, why digestion and absorption are so important, and how the microbiome is a key in limiting systemic inflammation.

Eventually I realized that my time would be much better spent working with people 1:1 that already had a foundational understanding of the principles of health. The non-negotiable concepts if you will. This knowledge is so crucially important that I really cannot help you effectively if you do not understand them.

You can learn more about the 90-Day Jumpstart in this blog article here or on the services page of the website here. Just scroll down a little bit and you'll find 3 free videos taken directly from the 90-Day Jumpstat, including a video about inflammation, the energy tank, and weight loss.

We are different in several ways.

First, unlike my colleagues in Conventional Medicine, we do not help you to "manage your symptoms". Instead, we focus on getting to the root cause of your symptoms so that you improve or reverse the underlying cause rather than just "managing" symptoms.

Second, unlike my Functional Medicine peers, we do not believe that you should invest $$ thousands of dollars in expensive functional testing right off the bat. Instead, we believe that you need to learn the foundational principles of health and implement some of them. Then, we can see what symptoms you are left with. It is very possible (likely even) that your symptoms will improve or go away once you change your lifestyle and start to mitigate the systemic inflammation that is contributing to your symptoms.

Unfortunately no. I will not be able to accept your health insurance. When practitioners operate inside the insurance-based model of care, they are expected to follow published practice guidelines that do not align with a Root Cause approach. Plainly speaking, if I accept your health insurance than my hands will be tied and my treatment decisions will be based on what your insurance will cover, rather than on what you actually need to get better.

However, if you happen to have an HSA or FSA, it is possible that you may be able to use that to pay for my services. I recommend you check with them first to determine whether or not they require a letter of medical necessity (LMN) from your primary care provider to be submitted to them prior to approval.  More often than not, your insurance will allow you to use FSA and HSA funds, but be sure to confirm this first.

If you do have an HSA or FSA, you should be able to use that to pay for laboratory testing and/or supplements.

No. Nothing is required. However, I do believe that your body was created to heal itself when given the right environment and the right set of circumstances.  This root cause approach considers your body in its entirely, not broken up into separate body systems.  All of your body systems are dependent on one another and you must provide your body with what it needs to heal itself. 

Ideally, you will provide your body with what it needs in the form of an abundance of plant foods that are rich in nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. However, in the beginning it is likely that you are lacking in crucial nutrients and good bacteria (probiotics) that your body needs to heal itself. In those cases, strategic and targeted supplementation is often helpful.
