Functional & Lifestyle Medicine Education - Empower Yourself and Take Control of Your Health

Functional Medicine uses an integrative approach with an emphasis on identifying root causes that lead to an individual's illnesses and poor health. By addressing these, through modifications in lifestyle factors and other triggers of dysfunction, it is possible to improve, reverse, or even eliminate many of these conditions. It is an holistic approach with a focus on every aspect that makes us who we are. We are presently ill-served by the conventional model of utilizing a pharmaceutical treatment for every condition, "a pill for every ill", focused on suppression of symptoms rather than a cure, all while the disease process continues unabated. While there is a time and place for medications, they are now used as the primary treatment in the majority of these chronic medical conditions. History shows that this has only led to further disease progression. Improving people's lives through lifestyle modification - dietary changes, proper nutrition, effective exercise, stress management, targeted supplementation and optimized sleep - attention to the mind, body & spirit - you can achieve dramatic changes in your life. Our goal is to help individuals to thrive, not just survive, by providing this knowledge. We offer an educational experience focused on the prevention or management of chronic medical conditions. This knowledge enables one to take control of their own health and empowers the individual to improve themselves. This educational experience can be provided in our office, your home or a public venue. We offer individual, family or group lectures and discussions that are targeted to your area of interest, individualized for you and your target audience. The body is capable of healing itself.... We help you learn how. For more info, visit our website: www.optimalhealthwnc.com

If there was ever a question of why I love doing what I do, it is because every day I get to make a positive impact in people's lives.

Some days I feel like a biochemist.
Some days I am a hormone expert.
Some days I feel like a nutritionist.
And some days I feel like a therapist.

I fit whatever role is needed for this specific appointment and the person sitting across from me. Whether that is addressing dietary changes, exercise plan, stressors in their life, or focusing on their hormone balance and production, I have to rise to meet the need.

That is one of the benefits of being a specialist in integrative, functional, and metabolic health. I am trained and certified to address every one of these areas, incorporating my decades of experience in conventional medicine, and focusing on what is most appropriate for the patient to do to see improvements in their health.

A standard American diet feeding into the standard American diseases, managed by the standard American healthcare system, further contributing to the standard American way of life.

It does not need to end this way.
It does not need to be this way.
This is a mostly unavoidable outcome.

Contact our office to inquire about these plans.

Are you tired of the status quo, finding it difficult to get in with your provider for a routine screening or laboratory testing, or to address a more urgent concern? Everything ends with a prescription to treat a symptom. We offer viable alternatives to this.

They include medical consultations with the physician, health coaching, the use of red light and infrared sauna, discounts on IVs, and more.

These options are available to our established patients after the initial consultations.

I think I will just stick to my steak 🥩 and butter 🧈

Maybe throw in a few low glycemic vegetables into the mix. Some avocado on the side. For dessert a small serving of berries.

Who is still promoting plant based protein as a health source unless you are communicating to someone who is specifically a vegan?

A delicious keto meal.
Took under 10 minutes to prepare.

The veggie mix was purchased already chopped up at the Lowes Foods.

Stirfried the flank steak and veggies with olive oil, coconut aminos, sea salt, and garlic powder.

A little Asian flair for dinner without gluten or high glycemic carbs.
