Pillars of Your Optimal Health Journey
Your body works as one connected system. East Asian Medicine has understood this for thousands of years, and functional medicine now confirms it with modern testing. That's why we look at your health through five pillars. In each one, we follow the same three steps: Test, Treat and Teach.
Digestion & Detoxification
Your digestive health is vital to your overall well-being. In the Test phase, we’ll evaluate your gut health by analyzing stool samples and liver function to uncover any imbalances or triggers. The Treat phase provides you with a personalized plan designed to restore gut health and enhance detoxification, using herbal remedies, dietary adjustments, and nutritional support. Finally, in the Teach phase, you’ll gain the knowledge to maintain a healthy diet, stay properly hydrated, and incorporate lifestyle habits that promote optimal digestion and detoxification.
Functional Nutrition
Food is one of the most powerful tools you have for your health. The right nutrients, in the right balance for your body, shape how you feel every day. In the Test phase, we review your blood chemistry, your eating habits, and your metabolic function to find any nutritional gaps or imbalances. In the Treat phase, we build a personalized nutrition plan around real, whole foods, adding targeted supplements and guidance on meal timing where they will help most. In the Teach phase, you learn how to eat mindfully, how to balance your macronutrients and micronutrients, and how to make choices that support your health at home, at work, and when life gets busy.
Hormonal & Metabolic Health
Your hormones and metabolism affect nearly everything: your energy, mood, sleep, weight, and how well you handle stress. When they're out of balance, you feel it throughout your body. In the Test phase, we use comprehensive lab work and a detailed health history to understand how your hormones and metabolism are working and to find the root of any imbalance. In the Treat phase, you receive a personalized plan to restore balance. It may include herbal medicine, targeted nutrition, whole food-based supplements, and practical lifestyle changes. We may also collaborate with your doctor or the naturopathic physician on our team, Dr Breana Hauskins, ND. If acupuncture would help, Susannah and her colleagues see patients at Great Turning Healing Center, in the same building. In the Teach phase, you learn how to support your hormones and metabolism through each stage of life, so your energy and well-being stay steady over time.
Rest and Movement
Your body repairs itself while you rest and grows stronger when you move. You need both, and they are often the first things to slip when life gets full. In the Test phase, we look at your sleep patterns, stress levels, and physical activity to see where your body needs more support. In the Treat phase, you receive a personalized plan to improve your sleep, help you relax, and build strength. It may include herbal medicine and whole food-based supplements to support deeper sleep and easier recovery, along with movement suited to your body and your life. If acupuncture would help, Susannah and her colleagues see patients at Great Turning Healing Center, in the same building. In the Teach phase, you learn simple mindfulness and relaxation practices and how to build movement into your days, whether that means a walk after dinner or a hike in the mountains.
Brain Health & Well-being
How you think and feel is part of your physical health. Stress, inflammation, and nutrient imbalances can all affect your focus, memory, mood, and resilience. In the Test phase, we look at markers tied to brain health, including neurotransmitter function, stress response, and inflammation, to understand what's shaping how you feel. In the Treat phase, you receive a personalized plan that may include herbal medicine, targeted supplements, and mindset coaching to support clear thinking and emotional balance. If acupuncture would help, Susannah and her colleagues see patients at Great Turning Healing Center, in the same building. In the Teach phase, you learn mindfulness practices, practical mindset tools, and self-care habits. These become part of your personal health toolkit and stay with you long after your visits end.
