5 Pillars
of Health
The building blocks of your wellbeing — working together to help us find the root cause of your symptoms.
Addressing Sleep, Nutrition, Stress Management, Movement, and Detoxification helps us determine the root cause of your symptoms. Work with your provider to assess your status in each pillar.
Needs Attention
Stable
Thriving
PURPOSE — Functional medicine is hard work. You must have a compelling purpose that inspires you to take action towards living a happier, healthier, more fulfilling life.
What each pillar means
Stress
Stress can be physical, chemical, emotional, or relational. It creates a strain or change in our normal bodily functions. Stress can alter our nervous system, hormone production, immune function, gut health, metabolic health, mood, sleep, and more.
Nutrition
We eat to nourish our bodies. It is important to choose foods rich in vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and fiber: foods that grow, roam, swim, and fly naturally without additives.
Sleep
Sleep is essential for restoration, repair, and healing. Lack of sleep can impair thinking, immune function, hormone production, gut health, metabolic health, mood, and more.
Movement
Regular activity can improve energy, thinking, mood, sleep, stress management, detoxification, bone health, and reduce risks for cardiovascular disease, immune dysfunction, obesity, osteoporosis, and more.
Detox
Learning about toxins and eliminating them from our environments and our bodies is imperative for healthier living. Toxins can impair thinking, immune function, hormone production, gut health, metabolic health, mood, and general wellness.
