"Functional Medicine Isn't Airy Fairy"

“Functional medicine isn’t ‘airy fairy,’” says Bland. “The method is grounded in science, and we use the best drugs available, if needed,” he says. But, when appropriate, practitioners also advise patients about nutrition, exercise, and reduction of toxic exposure. “This is simply about using the right tool for the right job,” he says.

CDC Estimates 1 In 2 Adults Has At Least One Chronic Condition

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in two adults (133 million Americans) has at least one chronic condition such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, or arthritis. Chronic illness is now also linked to seven out of every 10 deaths in the United States. OH MY GOSHHHHHH!!!!

🌿What are you doing to prevent chronic disease? Is your diet/lifestyle inflammatory for you, thus causing systemic inflammation=disease?

💊💊Utilizing functional medicine, and empowering yourself to take control of your healthcare could literally save you thousands and thousands of dollars, prevent surgery, harmful drug side effects, and piles and piles of prescriptions meds.

🤕KNOW THE CAUSE. DON'T JUST COVER UP AND HIDE IT!

Possible, SUPER conservatively treated causes: Yeast overgrowth, a leaky gut, allergies or sensitivities to many foods, including gluten, low levels of vitamin D and magnesium; hypothyroidism; and pre-diabetes. 😯😯😯😯

We have to do better! I know I’m on a mission to teach them better!!! We deserve better!

Belly Fat Has Got To Go!

INCREASED RISK for chronic disease
INCREASED RISK for a heart attack
INCREASED RISK for cancer....IT GOES ON AND ON

I don't know about you, but I have much better things to do with my life than spend it at doctors visits, or in the hospital, OR taking prescription meds on the reg!

Increasing our intake of whole foods, that are right for our individual bodies, increasing our exercise and movement, and taking time for ourselves is so key. We believe here at Elements that wellness is mind, body, and soul! 

“Body mass index takes into account your whole body, and what we really care about is your waist; that is, fat inside your abdomen, near your vital organs,” said Dr. Roizen. “Fat in your hips, or legs is usually storage fat and not metabolically active, but, fat in your belly causes inflammation, especially in those organs.”
