Most health practitioners are trained to evaluate symptoms and prescribe a particular pharmaceutical drug for those symptoms. Unfortunately, masking symptoms with medications is like taking the battery out of a fire alarm going off in your house. It might make the immediate problem go away momentarily, but it is ignoring the bigger picture.
Instead of labeling and treating diseases based on their symptoms, functional medicine addresses the root cause of these conditions. It aims to understand why you’re experiencing symptoms in the first place and, by working to fix the underlying issues, balance is restored in the body and symptoms naturally resolve for the long term.
When it comes to chronic illnesses, the main culprit is nearly always diet and nutrition. Other factors such as sleep, stress and trauma, movement, mindset, and overall toxic burden also play significant roles. Oftentimes, addressing these foundational aspects alone in a targeted way can resolve most issues that bring people to the office.
At Cloverlea, we take a root-cause approach utilizing therapeutic dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, carefully selected combinations of nutritional and botanical supplements, and homeopathy to “repair the root,” so your symptoms not only subside, but you feel better in all ways. We use advanced lab testing when necessary to gain a deeper understanding of what’s contributing to your issues so we can apply targeted solutions to facilitate healing.
If you are currently on pharmaceutical medications and your condition is being managed by medical doctors, this in no way precludes you from working with us at Cloverlea! We are happy to practice in conjunction with all healthcare providers to safely and effectively help you feel your best. We both accept referrals and refer out to a rich network of caring health practitioners with our clients’ best interests at heart.
