At Oliver Health and Wellness, my mission is to empower individuals to take control of their health and wellness through education, support, and personalized care. I believe that everyone has the potential to live a vibrant and fulfilling life, and I'm here to help them achieve that goal using functional medicine.
Functional medicine focuses on understanding the individual and all the events, big and small, that have led to their current health status. This includes everything from what medications was your mother on when you were in utero to what do you eat on a daily basis. These seemingly minute factors play a large role on health, and functional medicine recognizes that. Through relentless curiosity combined with functional medicine testing that goes beyond what your traditional doctor would order, a functional medicine trained health care provider can appropriately determine what exactly is driving your particular symptoms--and develop a plan to address it. Through targeted lifestyle interventions, dietary recommendations, fitness programs, and individualized supplement protocols, Oliver Health and Wellness creates the ultimate wellness protocol designed to optimize your current health journey.
Traditional medicine is symptom suppression -- Functional medicine is symptom resolution through root cause investigation.
As someone who has worked in critical care, I absolutely agree that traditional medicine is necessary and saves lives. There is no supplement out there that can take the place of a breathing tube. There are, however, many actions that can be taken to prevent needing a breathing tube in the first place.
Traditional medicine, especially in terms of chronic disease, focuses on symptom suppression--not solution. If you have an inflammatory disorder, like eczema, IBS/IBD, or lupus, the traditional medicine approach will give you anti-inflammatories but will fail to ask the question "why is this person inflamed?". If you have high cholesterol, or high blood sugar, the traditional medicine approach would have you take a medication to bring those numbers down without investigating why the body has intelligently raised them.
At Oliver Health and Wellness, we are about finding solutions for you, not suppressing your symptoms.
