Our Unique Approach

Our Roadmap to Optimal Health is a unique approach to help motivated adults struggling with stubborn weight, low energy as well as gut, cardiometabolic, fertility or hormone imbalances regain their energy, vitality & optimal health so they can enjoy a well-balanced, productive life looking and feeling their best… especially if they feel unheard and don’t know what to do next.

We partner with each member to achieve these steps, starting with the Find Problems Phase:

Oxygen Icon Box

During the intake, we’ll review your past medical history and any previous lab tests, so we can assess symptoms or anything your doctor might have missed.

Next, we'll determine the need for additional lab testing to help pinpoint the real reasons for chronic health issues and to understand your current hormone and stress levels.

For women in their reproductive years, we'll teach you how to chart your cycles using the Creighton Model FertilityCare System, providing valuable insights into your hormonal health and fertility patterns. For other practice members we move directly onto the next phase.

In the Fix Problems Phase we start by dialing down inflammation where we help pinpoint hidden sources of inflammation that may be overwhelming your immune system and causing persistent symptoms - from food sensitivities to environmental factors - that could be disrupting your body's natural balance.

Next, we focus on repairing the gut lining to reestablish intestinal integrity so we can lower inflammation and undo the damage caused by things like leaky gut.

Afterwards we rebalance the microbiome to properly digest food, improve nutrient absorption as well as neurotransmitter production important for balanced mood.

In the Optimize Phase, we'll evaluate hormone balance and provide therapy to improve hormone levels. We also cover blood sugar balance and address possible insulin resistance that can keep you from losing weight and feeling energized.

Next we examine nutrition & detoxification to determine what changes we need to make to your diet to support energy, gut and hormonal balance. We'll also identify environmental toxins and develop strategies to enhance your body's natural detoxification pathways to optimize cellular health and vitality.

The final step of our Roadmap focuses on mindset & emotional balance --helping you to establish positive mindset habits that you enjoy emotional resilience, bounce back quickly from stress and also maintain lifelong healthy habits..
