Do you remember what it feels like to feel good? When was the last time you felt that way? Was it when you were a child, teenager, young adult, or maybe never? Mood and optimal brain function depends on a healthy body with all necessary biological compounds, including all major nutrients and hormones, to be present in optimal amounts. When it comes to your health, you don’t want to be just “normal,” you want to be optimal!

Lab reference ranges today are based on mass population norms. But what if the majority of people today are not optimally healthy? Then the reference ranges are not optimal for health either. That is the situation that we are in today. As an example, the “normal” age for the onset of puberty has been consistently lowered over the years. Could it be that entire large groups of children are being affected by toxins such as plastics that act as hormone disrupters and are artificially pushing children into puberty before they are mentally or physically ready? Instead of trying to find treatable causes of early puberty, the American Academy of Pediatrics just keeps pushing the normal age for puberty onset earlier and earlier. There are many examples of similar false logic in traditional adult medicine also – i.e. most thyroid lab norms are not optimal either.

At Optimal Health Spectrums, we believe that your health requires a balance among many bodily systems, including the gastrointestinal and immune systems, and that just drugging a symptom is not the best approach. We practice evidence-based integrative medicine for men’s, women's, and children’s health. We look for the CAUSES of your symptoms, and treat the causes, so that the symptoms naturally go away, many times without medication. If medication is still needed, it will be used.

Today, we live in a toxic world and are exposed to many thousands of toxic chemicals and metals that our bodies were never designed to tolerate. Also, our food is often devoid of nutrition. Fast food is an obvious culprit, but even fruits and vegetables today have fewer minerals in them than they did years ago, because the soil that major agribusiness farmers grow their produce in is largely devoid of minerals. Organically grown fruits and vegetables not only protect you from harmful chemicals, but organic farmers usually use natural fertilizers that naturally enrich the soil, so the food is actually better for you and tastes better too. The Standard American Diet is S.A.D. That is why nutrition is an obvious starting point for “getting healthy.” Also, optimal body weight is important for health, so attention must be paid to that as well.

Optimal health requires many steps, and all must be addressed to achieve it.

1. Diet, Nutrition, and Lifestyle recommendations
2. Healthy Gastrointestinal and Immune systems (including treating chronic infections)
3. Detoxification
4. Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), when necessary

Your first visit will include a history of your current symptoms and medical problems, a physical exam, and your doctor will order appropriate individualized lab tests for your situation. Your starting treatment protocol will include supplements, nutritional advice, lifestyle recommendations, as well as conventional medical advice, when appropriate. When your labs come back, we will review them together and every test will be explained to you, you will get copies of them all, and additional treatment recommendations will be made based upon your lab results (such as bioidentical hormones, if needed). We strongly recommend breast exams and paps every one to two years for all female patients from their primary care or OB/GYN, or more frequent visits depending upon their individual health needs, and frequent digital rectal exams performed by a primary care doctor or urologist for our male patients on BHRT.
