#1 –INADEQUATE OR OUTDATED TESTING
In our clinic, (and right here on our website!) we confidently tell our clients:
‘We uncover the HIDDEN, ROOT CAUSES of poor health that most doctors miss.’
Exactly how do we do that, you ask?
Let’s talk about the 3 biggest MISSING PIECES to your personal health puzzle.
First, let’s about the way we TEST people in order to uncover these HIDDEN, ROOT CAUSES of their stubborn symptoms.
See, poor health leaves clues…
And we are medical detectives!
So, question…
Can most doctors fix a problem that they don’t see?
In other words, imagine you HAVE a problem.
(You probably don’t have to imagine if you’re reading this)
But your doctor just does NOT see it.
How can a doctor fix a problem that he or she does not see?
What we hear all the time is this:
‘Doc, I don’t look my best (for example, ‘This is the most I’ve ever weighed’) and I don’t feel my best…
…I KNOW my body and I am just NOT functioning at my best.’
It’s like your sleep, your digestion, your energy, your hair, skin and nails, your sex life, your metabolism –these are just NOT good and you KNOW it…
But still, our patients tell us –
(Here it comes…)
‘My doctor says my lab tests are normal’
So, is this you?
See in our world, (the exciting, new field of medicine known as Functional Medicine, or Lifestyle Medicine) our approach to HEALTH is fundamentally different than most doctors.
Remember, we uncover the HIDDEN, ROOT CAUSES of poor health.
How do we do that, you ask?
First and foremost, we TEST people differently.
Second, we interpret the results VERY differently.
Believe me, we’re not smarter.
We just have a different set of tools and a different perspective about health.
So, we’re able to find the things that other doctors miss.
(That’s why we call it the missing piece)
#2 – OVERLOOKING NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES
In conventional medicine, treating a person’s symptoms, sickness and disease is like looking to rebuild a car that has just gone off a cliff.
You need to send a tow truck and an ambulance!
But looking for health is different.
That’s noticing that the check engine light is on, you’re out of brake fluid and the car is running out of gas.
We need to take care of these things BEFORE we go off the cliff, right?
In our office, we do not suppress or even treat symptoms.
Instead, we address ROOT CAUSES.
So, in Functional Medicine we look for different things that doctors who are not focused on wellness and prevention DO NOT look for.
Let’s talk about one of these differences today.
Despite their doctor’s good intentions, our patients STILL suffer from things like REALLY stubborn weight loss resistance, blood sugar imbalances and persistent thyroid symptoms.
Things like digestive distress, bloating and irritable bowel syndrome.
Like brain fog.
Like fibromyalgia and joint pain.
Like mood swings, anxiety and depression.
Like infertility and hormone imbalances.
These are conditions that we see here every day – and there is NO doubt that a BIG part of the reason we get the clinical results that we do, often when traditional medicine fails, is because we ASK a question most doctors DO NOT ask.
(And then we answer it!)
So, here’s the question…
Are you NUTRITIONALLY DEFICIENT?
Nutritional Deficiency is the #1 cause of most of the chronic health challenges we see in this office – the things I just mentioned.
But the ordinary bloodwork that you’re used to does NOT test for that.
Once again, you need Advanced Metabolic Lab Work.
Why is NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCY even a thing?
I tell patients this…
Due to modern farming methods which erode soil quality, the sad truth is that fruits and vegetables grown back in the 1950’s were significantly richer in essential vitamins and minerals than the ones we get today.
Plus…
There’s incredibly MORE stress these days!
In order to meet the unprecedented demands of modern day physical, chemical and emotional STRESS, and because the QUALITY of our food (both the pesticide-sprayed plants and the commercially raised, hormone-injected, grain-fed animals) is not what it used to be, everyone needs more nourishment than a ‘good diet’ provides.
In other words, nearly everyone is NUTRITIONALLY DEFICIENT.
#3 – NOT ADDRESSING TOXICITY
Attention: What you are about to learn applies to EVERY poor health condition that we see in our clinic, NOT just stubborn weight loss.YES EVEN YOURS,
Here’s a question we get all the time…
‘So, why am I fat, Doc?’
This is a question we get ALL day, EVERY day.
‘I eat well, I exercise, but I just can’t lose weight’
OR…
‘I can lose it, I mean, if I really PUSH MYSELF HARD, I can LOSE it…
I just can’t KEEP it off.’
Frustrating, isn’t it?
If you want to know why, despite good intentions and good effort, you can NOT lose weight or keep it off…
I’m going to tell you why.
You’re fat because your fat burning HORMONES, are not working.
What do hormones have to do with weight loss? The answer is everything.
Because HORMONES – hear me now, HORMONES control METABOLISM.
There are over 600 hormones in your body.
But you only have to know how to turn ON the 6 (or so) that make you BURN fat.
You also must know how to turn OFF (or minimize, or balance) the 3 that make you STORE fat.
That is the secret.
See anybody can lose water weight – the thing that makes us different- we teach our patients how to turn on those 6 fat-burning hormones.
In other words, how to get into and STAY INTO healthy fat burning.
I call the weight loss industry a wild jungle – false claims, junk science marketing hype – how do we know that?
Because diets (specifically calorie counting) do NOT work.
And haven’t for the past 50 years!
In the long run, most people gain all the weight back and the reason they fail is because they all ignore the true underlying ROOT CAUSES of all poor health conditions.
We’ve already talked about a BIG one, nutritional deficiencies.
But the other major HIDDEN, ROOT CAUSE of people’s stubborn weight loss resistance and VIRTUALLY ALL other poor health conditions is CELLULAR TOXICITY.
