For many patients a routine annual physical is not complete enough to reach optimal health goals. Traditional medical practitioners have limited time for each patient. Often, a patient leaves the office with a pill for every ill. When a provider has exhausted medications, a patient is referred to an “ologist” to evaluate, perform expensive tests, and give more meditations or recommends the patient undergoes a procedure to minimize the symptoms. Modern medical care is symptom-based and is manage-sick, not addressing the root cause of disease.
Our mission at Sagewood Institute is to assist each patient in reaching optimal health and to offer guidance in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and quality of life. As part of our Functional Medicine Program, our preventive approach includes an integrative health assessment that could include but is not limited to obtaining an extensive health assessment, which includes a personal and family history, dietary habits, physical and psychological stress, digestive health and nutritional deficiencies, sleep hygiene, environmental toxin exposures, hormone imbalance, genetic dispositions, functional labs, pharmaceutical grade supplements, complementary alternative medical therapies such as acupuncture, massage as well as aesthetic services.
During the follow-up visit, we monitor patient compliance and response to the treatment plan that was put in place. We keep close communication with patients to ensure they reach their health goals by making specific modifications in their lifestyle, that could include nutritional, psychological (stress) weight control, sleep patterns, and hormone levels.
Nutritional: Through the initial consultation and testing results, we can identify any nutritional deficiencies or excessive food intake as well as food allergies. Together, we develop a treatment plan focused on improving health and wellness by creating a personal dietary program to reach patient goals.
Weight Control: At Sagewood Institute, we offer a personalized approach to identify any imbalance as cause for the weight problem. Physical examination and lab results are put together to develop a treatment plan for weight loss that includes FDA approved medications, physical activities, a nutritional program, hormonal balance, and mesotherapy.
Sleeping Pattern: Sleep disturbances can be caused for many reasons, such as being overweight, hormonal imbalance, and toxins. After an in-depth consultation to identify the cause of sleeping disturbance, we develop a personalized treatment plan to treat the root of the problem. In some cases, we work in coordination with other professionals such as psychologists, acupuncturists, etc. for a more integrative approach.
Hormone Balancing: Hormones act as a “messenger” that send crucial information for cell function, growth, and regulation. As we age, the production of hormones diminishes, causing several clinical manifestations. Sagewood Institute offers integrative consultation and testing (blood, saliva, urine) to identify any hormonal imbalance. Together, we develop a personalized treatment plan that includes using Bio-identical hormones and lifestyle modification in order to help patients to reach the higher level health in every aspect of their life including physical, mental health, sexual activities, bone and joints strength, and general energy level.
