HOW TO IDENTIFY ROOT CAUSES OF CHRONIC CONDITIONS
Chronic conditions include chronic symptoms and expression of disease states. Often patients describe problems with digestion since they were a child or issues with dizziness for years. Conditions like these are usually rooted in one or more functions of the body. A cellular function like repair and defense or cellular transportation is interrupted or improperly working. Even though these can be genetically determined, often providing a particular cofactor or nutrient can counter the genetic limitation and restore proper function. This pertains to disease also. Even if disease expression cannot be eliminated, symptoms can be reduced drastically, if the root cause is found and corrected. Chronic inflammation is the culprit behind many disease states, including cardiovascular disease and arthritis. Decreasing inflammation is achievable and the cornerstone for many interventions.
HOW TO PREVENT DISEASE
Now there are many tests, both genetic and cellular, that identify risk of disease. Finding out early if there are risk factors can empower patients to take control of their health before the disease starts. Lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, sleep and relaxation greatly affect the expression of disease. Furthermore, nutraceuticals and medications can reduce toxins and restore function in the body to fight disease. Family history, testing and a thorough history of exposures and other culprits can help identify risk and lead to proper interventions. The point is to go upstream to stop the process before disease develops. Early detection is good medicine, but stopping the process is better medicine.
HOW TO RESTORE THE BODY AND ITS FUNCTION
Age is just a number. How old you are has to do with the health of your cells, not the number of years you have lived. All of our bodies are wearing down, but not all at the same pace. Wear and tear is somewhat determined by our genes, but it has more to do with our environment. What you do, how you think, what you believe, what you eat and how you relate to people affects the deterioration of your body. There are ways to build up the body and reduce the speed in which it breaks down. Wouldn’t you like to feel better longer?
HOW TO OPTIMIZE YOUR
HORMONES
Centuries ago men and women did not live as long. By the time women went into menopause, they were the matriarchs of the family, resting with the grandchildren and sharing their wisdom with their children. Today, women are doing what they did in their 30’s and more. They are building businesses, active line cooks, and traveling speakers while also visiting with grandchildren and taking care of their parents. To keep up, they need hormone balance. Men, too, continue to work well into their 60’s and beyond. And even if they don’t, they want to feel good, whether playing golf or fishing with their grandson. Hormones build up cells in the body and produce positive emotions. They are responsible for libido, energy, sharp thinking and proper temperature control in the body. Safe hormone replacement therapy can be life-changing. Having a doctor who can explain ways to naturally increase hormone balance and replace it, if appropriate, is extremely important.
