From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Together, you and I decide which approaches are most helpful for you. Holistic treatment plans are based on:
- A functional medicine health history and exam that creates a story of your health as it emerged over time, from birth to now.
- Advanced medical diagnostic testing— including genomics, advanced blood tests/biomarkers, and at home health tracking technology—to understand your current state of cellular/functional balance and overall health potential.
- An optional body-mind-spirit assessment based on Ayurvedic healing. Your body-mind-spirit type provides insights into how to align your daily routines/habits, seasonal cooking, mindful movement, breath practices, meditation/prayer, and social activities to optimize health.
