Hormone Therapy-
The key to health and happiness is hormonal balance, which helps protect us from disease, support our immune system and keep our heart, bones, and minds strong. As early as our 30's, a gradual hormonal decline leads to fatigue, weight gain bone loss, hot flashes, depression, and mental fog. We provide a comprehensive assessment of your hormone balance and a customized hormone replacement therapy program using bio-identical hormones to maintain and/ or regain the vitality associated with our youth. Disease-
As we age, diseases most often associated with the elderly seem to pop up with greater frequency and often with life-altering consequences. What many people fail to recognize is that many diseases of aging are actually preventable, including diabetes, Alzheimer's and dementia, as well as cancer. Stress-
Research clearly links the imbalance of stress hormones to diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Its direct influence on your energy, metabolism, weight control, cognition and immune function is clear. By first measuring your stress hormones, we can then help you create a balanced life, with time for work, relationships, relaxation, and fun- plus resilience to hold up under pressure. Weight Loss-
At Insight to Health & Wellness, we set realistic goals for gradual weight loss and achieve these goals by modifying lifestyles. Plus, we'll also provide you with educational resources to aid you in meal planning, and preparation, as well as, maintaining a healthy body weight. Customized exercise regimens and nutritional supplements are also included in our program. Biological Markers Our Preventative-aging program incorporates well-known and accepted markers of disease risk into proactive patient management. Aging is not a disease, but the result of biological pathways. The natural process of aging can be managed with evidence-based interventions and protocols. Imagine preventing premature disability and death while regaining and maintaining optimal health and vitality. Fitness & Diet-
Insight to Health & Wellness provides an individualized and customized approach to Fitness and Diet based on an individual's immediate and long-term goals. Thorough testing of nutrient and mineral status combined with technologically advanced bioempedance analysis- with assessment not only of muscle, water and fat but also cellular integrity - allows us to help provide a scientific approach, support and follow-up to your fitness and dietary needs. Toxic Burden-
There are hundreds of chemicals (xenobiotics) inside every one of us creating toxic burden. Even though your body is designed to heal itself, your toxic burden can over-work your cellular metabolism and detoxification systems. Insight to Health & Wellness can help you identify and decrease your toxic burden. Cancer Prevention & Support-
Of special interest to Dr. Vance is cancer prevention and the nutritional support and protection of those who are afflicted with the disease. Insight to Health & Wellness supports an integrative approach to both the prevention and treatment of cancer with close attention to the metabolic processes that have the potential to either prevent or promote cancer. The goal is to provide a better, longer lasting quality of life for our patients.
