Relationships Matter: Why You Need a Primary Care Provider
It's our philosophy that the better we know you, the better we can help you. Part of that is cultivating and ongoing relationship. Unfortunately, finding a primary care provider (PCP) can sometimes be a little like dating since personality and practice style matters. We know that we aren't right for everyone, but we are ok with that!
Detoxification
The role of toxins and importance of detoxification has been mostly ignored by conventional medicine. Fortunately scientists and some practitioners are starting to understand that it is important in our health. But how do you know if you need to detox?
Inflammation and Immune Balance
Almost every modern disease is caused, or made worse, by hidden inflammation. Hidden inflammation is something that you cannot necessarily see or feel but it affects the way your body functions. This is also sometimes called systemic inflammation.
The Importance of Environmental Inputs
The best way to get to the root cause of disease is to understand how your personal environment interacts with your genetics to determine your overall state of health or disease. Your personal environment consists of what you are eating, your stress levels, trauma you may have experienced, toxins you are exposed to, and the water you drink.
Hormones and Neurotransmitters
How do you feel today? Does your mood and energy level swing up and down? Do you crave sugar or salt? Are you overweight and putting on more belly fat? If you are a woman, do you have PMS, painful or heavy periods, and/or a low sex drive? Are you depressed? Do you sleep poorly?Do you feel tired but have trouble sleeping?
Gut and Digestive Health
Do you suffer from (or have previously suffered from) bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, reflux, or gas? Over 100 million Americans have some form of digestive problems. Because of this, there are over 200 over-the-counter drugs for digestive disorders, many of which can actually create additional digestive problems.
At Alaska Functional Medicine Clinic we offer individualized and holistic care for the whole family.
