Does everyone need a multivitamin? Not necessarily. However, for many people, a well-formulated multivitamin can be a convenient way to support long-term health and offer protective benefits as we age.

In particular, cognitive function seems to benefit. Three clinical trials have shown that compared to a placebo, individuals who consistently took a multivitamin experienced slower brain aging and better overall cognitive performance.

Even more intriguing: multivitamins may help slow biological aging, essentially keeping your cells “younger”, which could have significant implications for preventing chronic disease. One study reported an average reduction of 4.2 years in biological age, which is substantial!

While not everyone needs a multivitamin, topping up key nutrients can have a meaningful impact on health for many people.

At our clinic, we take a personalized approach: detailed intake, assessments, and lab work help us tailor supplement and lifestyle plans specifically for you. Curious about what could make the biggest difference in your health? Contact us today to set up your intake.

Hundreds of studies have looked at how physical activity affects depression, anxiety, and psychological distress, and many show it can be just as effective as psychotherapy or medication.

Lifestyle medicine offers a promising path forward, and this research highlights exercise as an important tool in supporting mental health.

The best part? There’s no single “right” type of exercise... walking, resistance training, yoga, and more all provide benefits.

Higher-intensity activity can yield stronger results, but even moderate movement still makes a difference.

Finding what works for you, ideally with guidance from a qualified health care practitioner, can have a meaningful impact on outcomes.

Movement truly is medicine.

Your mitochondria aren’t just energy factories..... they’re the control centers of your cells, helping with detoxification, metabolism, and overall cellular health. 🧬

When mitochondria don’t function properly, it can contribute to issues like insulin resistance, neurodegenerative conditions, liver and kidney problems, and more.

Many chronic health conditions are linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, often caused by a lack of key nutrients.

That’s why supporting your mitochondria with targeted nutrients, or mitonutrients, is so important.

Healthy mitochondria mean better energy, metabolism, and overall well-being. Supporting them is a cornerstone of both preventative health and disease management.

“Normal” doesn’t always mean optimal.

In functional medicine, one thing we often teach patients is that just because your lab results fall within the normal range doesn’t mean your body is functioning at its best.

It’s common to experience symptoms or subtle dysfunction even when labs appear “normal,” because most reference ranges are far too broad.

We regularly see people at both the low and high ends of these ranges for a variety of labs who feel noticeably better once their levels are optimized.

A 2025 study on vitamin B12 highlighted this perfectly. Researchers found that even in healthy older adults, B12 levels on either end of the normal range were linked to brain changes and cognitive symptoms.

👉 Those with lower but within normal range, B12 levels showed slower processing speeds, more white matter damage on MRI, and poorer cognitive performance. Their average B12 was 414.8 pmol/L, well above deficiency cutoffs, yet still associated with measurable decline.

👉 Meanwhile, those with higher B12 levels also showed signs of neurodegeneration.

This research suggests that current B12 guidelines may be set too low, and that maintaining balance, not just avoiding deficiency, is key for brain health.

That’s why at Elevated Health and Wellness, we love using lab testing to identify your optimal nutrient levels, not just “normal.”

Book a consultation today to have your nutrient levels assessed, B12 and beyond. It could be a big piece of your journey toward health!

Feel like you’ve tried everything… but your symptoms just won’t quit? Or maybe you’re noticing signs of aging faster than you’d like. You’ve been doing all the right things... eating well, moving your body, but sometimes that’s not enough.

In functional medicine, we go deeper. It’s not just about what you eat or how you move (though that’s important!) - it’s about how your body is working at a cellular level.

When we focus on things like supporting stem cells and protecting your telomeres, real change can happen.

Whether you’re looking to prevent issues or address existing ones, seeing the bigger cellular picture gives us more ways to support your health.

Curious about what that could look like for you? Reach out to our clinic and let’s chat about how we can help.

How well is your body really aging?

Your biological age looks beyond the number of candles on your cake, it reflects the true state of your cells and tissues, showing how your body is functioning on a deeper level.

By analyzing DNA methylation patterns, blood biomarkers, and other key markers, biological age testing can reveal how your lifestyle, nutrition, and environment are influencing your aging process ... and what you can do to support longevity and vitality.

At Elevated Health & Wellness, we offer advanced testing that includes biological age analysis, DNA SNPs, and comprehensive biomarker tracking to help you understand your unique biology and take charge of how you age.
