Personalized Care for Optimal Health
Personalized, Preventative, Participatory™
Whether you're managing a chronic condition, seeking answers for unexplained symptoms, or looking to enhance your health, well-being, and longevity, an integrative approach can help you achieve and maintain optimal health.
Integrative & Functional Medicine:
a personalized, systems-based approach to health.
Integrative and functional medicine combine evidence-based medical care with a whole-person approach to health.
This approach focuses on identifying the underlying factors contributing to symptoms and disease, including the interconnected roles of physical, emotional, mental, and lifestyle influences.
Care is highly individualized and considers the interconnected roles of physical, emotional, mental, and lifestyle factors in overall health. Treatment plans are developed collaboratively and reflect each patient’s medical findings, goals, values, and preferences.
At ElementalMed, wellness plans may include lifestyle interventions, nutrition, professional-grade supplements, conventional medications, and complementary therapies to support optimal health, resilience, and long-term well-being.
Commonly treated conditions include: fatigue and exhaustion; mood and sleep disorders; issues with weight, blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure; digestive issues; women’s health issues; joint and muscle pain; thyroid and adrenal issues; disease prevention, longevity & health optimization.

Personal Experience
“Long before I was a doctor, I was a patient with health issues not responding to conventional treatment. By circumstance, and ultimately fate, this brought me to a seventh-generation Cherokee medicine man (later, my mentor) who practiced naturopathy. His guidance improved my health and sparked an interest in holistic medicine that lead me to osteopathic medical school. I chose osteopathy for it’s legacy mind-body-spirit philosophy, an emphasis on “finding the health within”, and training in osteopathic manual medicine.
I deepened and expanded my integrative skills studying with renowned teachers in osteopathy, functional medicine, acupuncture and yoga during a post-graduate fellowship — applying these skills to better my patients health and also my own (the demands of medical training take a toll!)
Some years later while living and working on the Navajo Nation, I was introduced to the idea of Hózhó, which succinctly spoke to the common thread of my trainings and personal experience. Hózhó is the belief that we experience full health only when we live in balance in all aspects of life; when we “walk in beauty”. This concept guides me in my personal journey and in the way I approach patient care.”

Lifestyle
Numerous studies show lifestyle is the greatest contributor to our health. Lifestyle habits — sleep, stress management, movement, food choices, relationships — influence the health of our body and mind by affecting gene expression and related metabolic functions.
-
Nutrition
Food as medicine is an age-old concept now well-documented in medical research. Food choices positively or negatively influence hormone signaling, neurotransmitter production and inflammation, setting the stage for our physical and mental health.
-
Lab Evaluation
Labs provide insight into dozens of biomarkers to guide, track, and fine-tune wellnes plans.
Traditional labs are viewed through an integrative lens — not just what is "normal” range but what is optimal. Normal ranges are often inadequate for symptom relief or disease prevention. Metabolic imbalances or genetic factors revealed by specialty labs help further personalize wellness plans.
