My mission is to change the face of health care in this country by offering the health care consumer (that means you) the tools and information they need to overcome their chronic health issues, lose weight, and live a life that is full if vibrant health and vitality.

That is the purpose of my books, this website, and the UltraWellness community. My goal is to be a trusted source of information and advice to every person who reads one of my books or explores my web pages.

However, if you are looking for a more personalized approach, feel you need direct contact with a physician to fully resolve your health problems, or your health concerns are overwhelming you and treatment is outside the scope of one of my books, I would be happy to consider taking you on as a personal patient.

Before you make that decision, I want you to understand what a visit to my office entails. Above all, you should be an informed health care consumer. So let me be frank with you about what I do.

I do not take a “traditional approach” to medicine.

Traditional medical practice revolves around treating symptoms, while leaving the underlying causes of ill health and disease unaddressed.

You have probably had the experience of going into your doctor’s office for a standard battery of tests. The results of these tests dictate your doctor’s actions. If your test results don’t reveal a problem, you receive no treatment no matter how much your symptoms plague you.

On the other hand, if your test results do uncover a problem you are assigned medications to treat your symptoms, all the while the underlying health and lifestyle issues that are promoting your health problems are ignored.

This means you stay sick, overweight, and unhappy.

I practice a style of medicine that goes far beyond this outdated and ineffective approach. It is called functional medicine or systems biology. It focuses on enhancing the performance of the major systems that make your body function. When these systems are out of balance, they are the root of disease. When they are in balance, they are the keys to UltraWellness.

When you come into our office, at The UltraWellness Center (www.ultrawellnesscenter.com) you will have a 90-minute personal consultation with either myself or one of my associates. During this meeting you will be asked questions about your personal history, the extent of your symptoms, your current diet, and other related issues.

Then we will recommend a battery of genomic analysis tests that will help us uncover underlying genetic predispositions that could be creating your health problems. You see, I do believe in testing. In fact, I do more testing than traditional doctors do. However, the tests I use help uncover hidden causes of illness that are not typically identified by conventional medical practitioners. These problems include but are not limited to food allergies, hidden infections, environmental toxins, mold exposures, nutritional deficiencies, and metabolic imbalances.

Immediately following this consultation you will have a 50-minute meeting with one of our nutritionists. Because nutritional therapy is a core part of my practice Kathie will help you analyze your diet and uncover exactly what you have been eating that is sending your systems out of balance and creating chaos in your body.

The next step is to get your tests done, and analyze the test results. Some of these tests can be done in my office on subsequent visits, some can be done in laboratories close to your home, and some can be ordered online. We will give you instructions about all of this during your visit.

Once we have compiled all of this information—your personal history, a nutritional analysis from Kathie, and the results of your tests—we are ready to create a personalized health plan that will allow you to feel what UltraWellness means … perhaps for the first time in your life.

The doctor will make a series of recommendations about how you can get your body back in balance. In some cases this involves medication. However, nutrition and supplementation are the core tools of my practice. More often than not, the treatment you receive will focus on a series of lifestyle and dietary modifications that will improve your health along with nutritional supplements that will support the functioning of your body.

As a part of this process, our nutritionist will help you create a diet that is tailored specifically to your body’s needs. As cliché as it may sound, the old idiom “You are what you eat” is undoubtedly true. Now more than ever modern science understands the importance of nutrition when it comes to human health, and in my practice we leverage this information to help you re-establish the natural balance of your body.

The human body is miraculous. Every day I see how extraordinary it is. By simply removing what impedes the optimal function of your biological systems and giving your body the nutritional support it requires to function properly we can help you create UltraWellness.

Take away what’s harming your body, give it the nourishment it needs, and it will do the rest.

The body heals itself. Most doctors don’t know that. I do. I see it happen over and over again with my patients.
