Optimizing Care and Wellness
So the question comes up, "Is there a way to reduce chronic illness and create long-term health?" To answer this question, one must start investigating the possible root causes of chronic disease. While our healthcare system has been focused primarily on acute care, other influences have been lurking silently to create even greater threats to American health: increasingly stressful and sedentary lifestyles, industrial pollution of air, water, and earth, processed and nutrition-deficient foods, overconsumption and generally a fragmented family and community structure.
Effective prevention of chronic disease today requires understanding individual genetic vulnerabilities (20-30% of chronic disease risk) and the effect of lifestyle upon those individual variations (70-80% of the risk). This is the domain of functional medicine and the foundation of our PrimeLifeMD program.
