I got a puzzle to solve

Conference highlights

Yep.

I like puzzles and games that make me think.

I don’t like losing at games, but it does happen. This Les person I have yet to beat on Words With Friends. But that is who I like to play or compete against, because playing/interacting with people/opponents who are better or more experienced, are the same people you learn from to improve yourself.

Back to puzzles.

I like finding clues, and making correlations and putting those things together, meaning, I like puzzles that make me think, puzzles that as you put them together tell a story, especially a story that is as unique as you are.

I like to think of your health and wellness as a puzzle that has many components, a work in progress, constantly zigging and zagging as you live and interact in your environment.

Wouldn’t it be great though, to not only know more pieces of your puzzle, but also know what your own unique ability is to find and in the best way possible put those pieces of the puzzle together when you need it?

Wouldn’t it be great to have an individual blueprint of how your body produces substances that makes you that unique person that you are?

In Traditional Healthcare, you are labeled with a diagnosis that correlates with your signs and symptoms. That is OK. It helps somewhat, but usually not enough on its own.

Then, you are offered traditional interventions that might help improve the diagnosis. The problem with this method is that often, the interventions are masking the true root cause(s) of the problem. They are treating the results or symptoms, or the effect of the imbalance, as opposed to treating the root causes, or the unique system(s) that are out of balance.

Example:

You go to a traditionally trained doc. You are told you are overweight, have high blood pressure, PreDiabetes and high cholesterol levels.

Treatment you are offered or in some cases coerced or even scared, gaslighted or even bullied into utilizing include:

Weight loss medication

Blood Pressure medication

Diabetes medication

Cholesterol medication

So you leave with 4 prescriptions while being told these are chronic progressive illnesses that most likely need medications for life.

You were not told WHY you have these issues. No root cause evaluations were considered. Side effect profiles of the medications/treatments were most likely minimized.

I believe you deserve better.

I believe you deserve more.

At the IMW we have a different approach. We look at your health as multiple systems working together that keeps you healthy or NOT.

The most common systems evaluated include your Metabolism, Immune/Inflammatory, Nutrition, and Hormonal.

So in the case I just mentioned ALL of those diagnosis are a result of a Metabolic imbalance. We then help you understand why your metabolism is out of balance and how to correct it. When this occurs you quickly find your Overweight, High Blood Pressure, PreDiabetes and high Cholesterol all start improving, without the use or need for the medications.

So this is one way the IMW is different from Traditional practice.

But let’s now go one step further. I just returned from another genetics conference. Oh my gosh. When I say we like to individualize treatment, well, now with genetics we can individualize this treatment even further. This new genetic testing we will soon be offering will be diving even deeper into root cause mechanisms of health and wellness.

Think about it this way.

With genetics, we have your individual blueprint that can help us to guide you down your best path.

Why do you have a higher risk of Metabolic issues?

—- Overweight, Obesity, Hypertension, Diabetes

Why do you have a higher risk of Immune/Inflammatory issues?

—-Allergies, Asthma, Psoriasis, Thyroiditis, Autoimmune diseases

Why are your Nutrition labs not better when you are eating a healthy diet?

—-Anemia, Vitamin and Nutrient deficiencies.

Why do your hormones seem to have trouble balancing?

—-PMS, PMDD, Endometriosis, Peri-Post Menopausal symptoms, Hormonal cancers.

Why do you feel your brain is not working well?

—- Brain Fog, cognitive slowing, dementia, Parkinson’s, Autism, ADHD

The above are just some examples of what genetic testing can help with.

The genetic testing is NOT to diagnose or name an illness. There is no one Diabetes gene, or one Dementia gene.

But there are many genes that working together or separate play a part in the root causes of why you are healthy or not so healthy. If we know these genes, it helps us to help you to better match your diet and lifestyle to your environment. It helps us to guide you with more precise individualized health and wellness interventions to improve your health and better battle chronic disease and aging.

So hopefully, in the coming weeks I will be announcing the new testing that will be available at the IMW.

One last thing before I go.

Your genes are your genes and they don’t change. So you only need to do this testing once. You will not need to do this testing over and over again. But, as new research is uncovered, the interpretation of how your genes are affecting your health may, and since we will have already tested your genes, we can move forward with further guidance.

And btw, this genetics company never shares/sells your private information to anyone. I am having my own personal testing done through this company.

Personalized Precision Health and Wellness at the IMW utilizing genetics as a Clinical Decision Medical Support Tool that can be your individualized Functional Medicine textbook today and into the future because your genetics do not change. This is a one time test that does NOT need to be repeated, but can provide helpful information for years to come as genetic research is exploding.

I hope you will consider joining me in helping to provide you with even more individualized precision care.

As always, comments and questions encouraged.
