Somewhere between the convenience of modern food and the increasing complexity of our lives, we left our health behind. We stopped thinking about health as our body and mind’s ability to be at its maximum performance and became bogged down in the concept that health is merely the absence of disease.
When someone says, “I’m healthy,” are they saying that they aren’t sick? Or are they saying that they are able to enjoy life, hike, or pick up their children/grandchildren pain free?
The Alaska Functional Medicine Practitioners at Now Health focus on you, not on the disease. As our name implies we believe that now is the time for health and that every day is your commitment to a healthier tomorrow.
Ask yourself, do you want your doctor to see you like this:
Or like this:
Do you want your health care provider to see the whole picture of who you are, where you came from, and where you want to go with your health?
What does functional medicine look like in practice?
After filling out an initial online assessment that we will send you, we'll discuss your comprehensive history so that we can understand your lifestyle, what you eat, and what you do on a daily basis.This information combined with an understanding of how you grew up, any history of family illness, and test results will enable us to see the full picture of your health.
We will then ask you where you would like your health to be.
From this information, we will create a plan of action that will include everything from diet changes to meditation, from supplements to changes in activity and massage therapy, and we will get you on your path to optimum health.
Are you ready to take control of your health? Now is the time for your health.
