We believe in traditional medicine.
We still work in it.

But after years inside the system, something became impossible to ignore.
Most of the people we cared for were already at the end of their health story.

When you’re providing anesthesia for open-heart surgery, you’re not treating a new problem.
You’re treating the result of decades of quiet decline.

By the time someone needs their heart “fixed,” the real damage started years — sometimes decades — earlier.

And the hard truth is this:
There is extensive medical literature showing that many of these outcomes are preventable.

Traditional medicine is incredible at saving lives in a crisis.
But it’s not designed to intervene early — before disease takes hold.

That realization is what pulled us into longevity and functional medicine.
Because if we can identify risk earlier…

If we can address inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, hormone imbalance, and lifestyle stress sooner…

We don’t just add years to life.
We protect the quality of those years.
That’s the gap we built Accelerate Wellness to fill.

Yes — we use GLP-1 medications.
But never in isolation.

GLP-1s are a tool, not a strategy.
You cannot inject your way around a broken system.

Before we ever use a GLP-1, we need to understand:
• what your thyroid is doing
• where your cortisol levels are sitting
• how your metabolism is actually functioning
• what else is happening inside the body

Because if those systems are off, the medication doesn’t fix the problem — it just masks it.
And there’s a bigger risk most people aren’t talking about.

When GLP-1s are used on their own — without proper testing, nutrition, and strength support — people often lose a significant amount of muscle mass.

That’s not a side effect.
That’s a failure of the approach.

Losing muscle is the opposite of metabolic health.
It works directly against long-term weight loss, hormone balance, and longevity.

At Accelerate Wellness, GLP-1s are only used alongside:
👉 advanced lab testing
👉 thyroid and cortisol optimization
👉 protein and nutrition strategy
👉 strength-focused body composition support

Because the goal isn’t just a lower number on the scale.
The goal is a body that actually works.

Some people don’t come to us because something feels wrong today.
They come because they’re paying attention.

They’ve watched a parent develop Alzheimer’s.
They’ve seen a dad have a heart attack far too young.
They carry a family history of cancer — and a quiet question...

Is this coming for me too?

This is the second major group of people we see at Accelerate Wellness.
Not people chasing symptoms — people managing risk.

Instead of waiting, we look earlier.
Instead of guessing, we test.

Using advanced diagnostics — including blood work and genetic testing when appropriate — we look for early indicators of disease processes and underlying risk factors before symptoms show up.

The goal isn’t fear.
The goal is foresight.

When you understand your risks early, you gain leverage.
You can change the trajectory instead of reacting to it.

That’s what proactive, functional medicine is designed to do.

Most people don’t come in asking for a miracle.
They come in wanting to be heard.

They want someone to slow down.
To listen.

To actually understand what they’re experiencing — not rush to a conclusion.
And they want reassurance that they’re not “crazy.”

That there are real biological reasons behind how they feel… and the symptoms they’re living with.
Because there are reasons.

At Accelerate Wellness, we start by understanding the biology behind the story — not dismissing it.

People come to us for many different goals:
• better sleep
• less stress and burnout
• improved labs
• better body composition
• more muscle, less fat
• support through perimenopause

Different goals.
Same starting point.

Time. Listening. Data.
When you connect what’s happening on the inside with what you’re feeling on the outside, things finally make sense.

And once it makes sense, it becomes actionable.

That’s how progress starts.

Most medical visits last 7 minutes.
Ours usually lasts an hour.

And that’s not an accident.

Before we ever talk about labs, supplements, or treatment plans, we start with a conversation — a long one.

We want to know:
• your health history
• your family history
• your lifestyle and stress load
• what’s happening at work, at home, and in your relationships
• what symptoms you’re dealing with
• and most importantly — why you’re here

Not in medical jargon.
In your words.

Toward the end of that conversation, we ask something simple but powerful:
👉 What are the three things you want to feel better?

For some people, it’s sleep.
For others, it’s burnout, hormones, weight, or body composition.
Sometimes it’s perimenopause.
Sometimes it’s labs that haven’t made sense for years.

That conversation tells us what’s happening on the outside.

Then we look inside.

Based on your story and your goals, we may recommend

advanced lipid panels
advanced testing
metabolic testing
genetic insights
deeper hormone markers

Not because it’s trendy — but because it gives us clarity.

Once testing is complete, we sit down again.
That’s where we build a personalized, proactive plan designed around your biology and your goals.

This isn’t a quick fix.
It’s not an overnight process.
It’s a guided path — using nutrition, lifestyle changes, evidence-based nutraceuticals, and when appropriate, medication — to help you create results that last.

That’s what functional medicine looks like when it’s done right.

And it’s why our care lives outside the limitations of traditional insurance-driven medicine.

Most people think plaque is just “high cholesterol.”

Wrong.

Plaque happens when two things collide:

1) The cargo — what your cholesterol is riding in (lipoproteins)
2) The wall — how inflamed your artery lining is (the sticky surface)

If the arterial lining is calm and healthy, fewer stick.
If it’s inflamed and irritated, it turns into Velcro — and even “normal” cholesterol can become a problem.

That’s why a basic cholesterol panel can give you false confidence.

At Accelerate Wellness, we look at both sides:

- Lipoproteins: which particles are actually driving risk
- Vascular inflammation: how “sticky” your artery lining is right now

Because plaque forms when risky particles hit an inflamed wall.

And if we see that pattern?
We don’t guess. We don’t shrug. We get specific.

We measure, then we reduce high-risk lipoprotein patterns and the inflammation responsible for making the arteries "sticky".

That’s how you manage heart risk: with data — not vibes.

Cognitive decline and blood sugar are not separate conversations.
They are the same problem showing up in different places.

We now understand that chronically elevated blood sugar and insulin resistance don’t just damage the body — they inflame the brain. That’s why Alzheimer’s is increasingly referred to as “Type 3 Diabetes.”

The brain is metabolically active tissue. When glucose regulation breaks down, cognition pays the price.

Brain fog. Memory issues. Mood changes. Fatigue.
These are not random. And they are not something you’re meant to “just live with.”

Here’s the part most people never get told:
👉 You don’t have to earn your suffering.
👉 Feeling miserable is not normal.
👉 Decline is not a rite of passage.

At Accelerate Wellness, we don’t separate metabolic health from brain health — because biology doesn’t. Blood sugar dysregulation, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and hormonal imbalance all feed the same fire.

That’s why we work upstream:
• Stabilizing blood sugar
• Reducing insulin resistance
• Lowering systemic and neuro-inflammation
• Using real diagnostics to understand *your* physiology

No guesses.
No trends.
No one-size-fits-all protocols.

If your body — or your brain — is struggling, there is a reason.
And when you understand the reason, you regain agency.

You don’t need to push harder.
You don’t need to accept decline.
You need answers — and a clinic built to help you act on them.

That’s what we do.
