Living Well With Julius
Tired of living with a chronic disease? Want to learn how to treat the illness and not just the symptoms?
Find out how Functional Medicine can help.
Functional medicine treats the whole body, not just the symptoms that you are experiencing. Julius and his team of providers want to find out the underlying problem or cause of your disease so that we can help treat you as an individual. Treating our patients as individuals instead of grouping them together with a “disease” label allows us to get to the root of your illness.
Want A Provider to Listen AND Hear What You Are Saying?
This is the first step in functional medicine. Our providers want to understand how your symptoms make you feel and how it impacts your daily life. We also want to learn about your medical history to help us connect the dots as when we dive down to investigating what the root causes of your conditions are.
Without this knowledge, we cannot get to the underlying cause of your illness. Some underlying causes of illnesses are:
- poor nutrition
- allergens
- toxins
- stress
- microbiome dysbiosis (live bacteria in and on your body)
- genetics
What Happens After Our Providers Listen to You?
To help our providers determine the underlying cause of your condition we may need to order specialized lab tests. We then tailor a healthy lifestyle change and treatment plan specific to your needs. This plan will cover most areas of your life to create a healthier you. You will receive guidance on nutritional and diet programs, exercise, emotion and stress support, sleep, and environmental stressors. You will receive guidance on nutrition, exercise, emotions, stress, sleep, environmental stressors, professional-grade supplements, and when appropriate prescription medications.
