Wellness Defined

You need to consume a certain number of calories each day for your metabolic processes to occur effectively and for your body to work properly.

For men, this number is roughly 2500 calories per day. Women need approximately 2000 calories per day.

These daily requirements fluctuate depending on a few factors—age, s*x, weight, and activity level.

The Western Medical model of healthcare iis an acute care model which falls short of looking at the causes of and solutions for chronic disease.

Despite notable advances in treating and preventing infectious disease and trauma, the acute-care model that dominated 20th century medicine has not been effective in treating and preventing chronic disease.

I am dedicated to educating others on the Functional Medicine approach that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century.

Functional Medicine is an integrative, science-based healthcare approach. It is NOT an either/or system. it integrates traditional Western medical practices with what is sometimes considered “alternative” or “integrative” medicine.

The focus is on prevention through nutrition, diet, and exercise; use of the latest laboratory testing and other diagnostic techniques; and prescribed combinations of drugs and/or botanical medicines, supplements, therapeutic diets, detoxification programs, or stress-management techniques.

Understanding Functional Medicine, and then taking action, is a much better approach to treating and preventing chronic disease.

Understanding the world of nutrition can seem confusing at times! If you have a nutrition topic you would like me to discuss, just message me. I will be doing both live, and recorded, videos on here to address your topics that are interesting to you, or confusing to you!
