No two people are exactly alike in what they need to achieve better health. In order to offer targeted support tailored to your specific needs, we recommend a set of lab tests. These tests check for various health markers such as cholesterol, blood sugar, vitamin D, thyroid hormone, inflammation and liver enzymes. One of our Naturopathic doctors carefully reviews each set of results and customizes nutrition, supplementation and exercise recommendations specifically for you. We use Quest Diagnostics as our testing center and locations are available in every state.

Our wellness programs are 100% natural and holistic. This means we focus on all of the things that work together to make you truly healthy. Because the program is run by Naturopathic doctors, the focus is on restoring your health without the use of drugs or surgery. Our 100% natural approach includes a focus on eating whole, natural foods as well as supplementing with professional food grade vitamins and herbs where necessary. It is important to disclose any important information such as family and personal history, past surgeries, current medication and supplement use and any allergies. By keeping us up to date on the above information, your Naturopathic doctor will be able to adjust your protocol accordingly.

You will focus on eating a simple, natural whole food diet in conjunction with exercise and natural whole food supplements to help you become a healthier, happier you. Our current food supply doesn’t contain all the nutrients that are necessary for good health in the correct amounts. As a result, many illnesses develop due to nutrient deficiencies. By providing those nutrients in a concentrated food-based form, the body can begin to return to normal function and health. Synthetic over the counter supplements do not usually have this effect. Our supplement recommendations are personalized based on individual need.

The main difference between Naturopathic medicine and the current standard system of medicine is the philosophy. While a conventional medicine MD (Medical Doctor) works against the body to treat disease with primarily drugs and surgery, Naturopathic medicine goes beyond that, to support the body and treat people instead of treating symptoms or diseases. A typical Naturopathic prescription will generally include lifestyle changes and education to help each patient improve their long-term overall health, not just their current symptoms.

​

Naturopathic medicine is based on six philosophical principles:

First Do No Harm– This emphasizes the preservation of life and health and discourages the use of toxic drugs with dangerous side effects. The Healing Power of Nature– We are provided with everything needed for restoring health in our bodies in nature. Discover and Treat the Cause– Treating symptoms will never restore true health. Health is only achieved by finding and addressing the root cause of disease. Treat the Whole Person– It is impossible to treat one area of the body without affecting another. Everything in a single individual is connected. Doctor as Teacher– The main goal of a Naturopathic doctor is to teach patients how to get well, stay healthy and prevent disease. Prevention is the Best Cure– Not getting a disease is always better than treating it, hence disease prevention is paramount in every case.

Our programs are completely safe if you have a pre-existing medical condition. The goal is actually to help reverse chronic, lifestyle-related disease patterns and get you healthier without drugs or surgery.

Yes, our natural wellness programs are very safe. When you fill out your registration form, please list all medications. There are some supplements that may have adverse reactions with some medications, so please be sure to list all of your medications, including over the counter drugs and vitamins.

Only the physician who prescribed your medications can take you off of them but our wellness programs can help you get to a healthy enough point to do so. After a few months, of membership, you may be able to visit your prrescriber with positive results and in most cases, they will work with you to cut down medications you are taking.

Our program will individually cater to you and your busy lifestyle. It is difficult to live a healthy lifestyle without direction, our doctors and coaches will help you stay on track and get healthy even with a busy life.

Once you become a member of the Lifestyle Clinic, you will have access to our members-only site including recipes, natural whole food supplements, exercise videos, coaching sessions, community and much more.

We accept flexible spending cards and health savings accounts (HSA) or (FSA) as forms of payment.

Insurance reimbursement is generally based on disease diagnosis codes and procedure codes. Our approach is to address the whole person, not treat any diseases or symptoms.

Since there are no prescriptions, treatment of diseases or diagnosis codes, we are not associated with any insurance company. All services are self-pay and we offer an optional financing plan for those who qualify.
