Did you know that 70% of all chronic disease is preventable with lifestyle choices?

Factors to consider:

1. Genetics
2. Nutrition
3. Environmental Exposure
4. Exercise and Daily Activity
5. Stress
6. Inflammation
7. Sleep- Quality and Quantity

Research has shown a strong correlation between body weight, environmental exposure, nutrient deficiencies, antioxidant levels, and certain genetic markers with difficulty in achieving or maintaining pregnancy.

Conditions that need advanced nutrient testing and co-therapy:

Did you know that you may have certain genetic markers that put you at increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease, miscarriage risk, depression, heart attacks, strokes, obesity, diabetes, elevated cholesterol and more? Do you know what type of exercise your body best responds to and the food it wants? Your genetic markers hold the answers to all of these questions and we can help you find out!

At Healthy Living Dallas we strongly believe in an individualized approach. No one is at risk for the same chronic diseases and everybody’s body responds differently to food choices and exercise. Isn’t it time that you got health and lifestyle recommendations that were based on your body and your genetic markers?

This advanced testing is often covered by your health insurance.

Did you know that Americans spent more than $325 billion on prescription medications in 2014?

In 2015 more than half of a million Americans spend $50,000 on prescriptions each year

At Healthy Living Dallas we understand that prescription medications may be necessary in certain circumstances. However we do not support the overuse of prescription medications as a primary route of treatment without addressing the underlying cause that led to the development of your health condition. Prescription medications may provide short term relief of symptoms or slow disease progression while you’re taking them but ultimately may lead to a long-term reliance on the prescription to keep symptoms manageable.

How is functional medicine different? As your treatment with Healthy Living begins, you’ll quickly see a difference in how our practice operates compared to traditional medical practices. In functional medicine we base our treatment on the understanding that every system in your body is connected- you can’t treat your cardiovascular concerns without considering your intestinal health or inflammatory markers. You cannot treat disease without considering exercise, nutrition, sleep, mental clarity and health, physical health, and spiritual or relational health. Our genetics, environment, lifestyle choices, sleep patterns, stress levels contribute to disease progression or reversal. Functional medicine requires knowing your body in-detail. It requires understanding how your health has progressed over the years.

Detailed knowledge of your body combined with clinical expertise in functional medicine and lifestyle applications leads to achieving long-term, sustainable health.
