Our Functional Health Approach: Building a Foundation for Optimal Health
After working within the confines of the traditional healthcare system for almost 20 years as a nurse practitioner, I realized a hard truth: the system is not set up to make people healthy.
The standard medical model and big pharma do not make money on healthy people. They profit from managing chronic sickness.
That is why so many patients feel unheard, rushed, and handed a new prescription for every new symptom.
At Thrive Health & Wellness, we do things differently.
The Philosophy
Healing From the Inside Out
A house needs a strong, solid foundation to stand the test of time. If the foundation is crumbling, patching the drywall will not save the house.
Similarly, your body needs a strong foundation to function optimally and prevent chronic disease. Traditional medicine focuses on patching the drywall... throwing drugs at your symptoms to temporarily mask them.
My approach as a functional health provider looks much different than what most people are accustomed to experiencing at the doctor's office. Instead of adding to your pill box, my goal is to help you get OFF of prescription medications. By finding the root cause of your symptoms, we use natural methods, clinical nutrition, and targeted lifestyle changes to rebuild your biological foundation so you can truly heal.

How it Works:
Your Roadmap to Root-Cause Healing
​
Healing can feel overwhelming, especially if you have been struggling for a long time. We have designed a clear, straightforward process to ensure we are the right fit for your needs and to get you on the path to vitality.
Step 1: The Wellness Consultation
Your journey begins by scheduling a brief, 15-minute introductory call. During this consultation, we will listen to your most important health concerns, screen your symptoms, and determine if our functional, root-cause approach is the right fit to help you.
Step 2: The Initial Consultation
If we are a good match, we will schedule your comprehensive Initial Consultation. During this visit, we spend about an hour getting to know you. We will go over your detailed health history, discuss your goals, and I will present my clinical recommendations.
Step 3: Your Customized Care Plan
Once you are on board, we develop a highly personalized plan of care tailored exactly to your unique biology. This plan will include specific functional testing, targeted natural recommendations, and ongoing follow-up visits with our medical team and health coaches to ensure you succeed.
