North Coast Family Wellness provides one-on-one consultations to discuss your health goals and analyze your ailments to put together a plan exclusive to you and your needs. Our effective process enables you to get to your healthiest, most functional self.

Once we have gathered our information, we move on to a thorough exam that often involves lab work. Dr. Amy Haynes will prescribe a Wellness Plan for prevention and healing. This Wellness Plan is a personalized road map to not only address current ailments but to delay, lessen or altogether prevent the onset of chronic conditions. Follow-up appointments will help our team track progress and fine-tune the approach based on your body's responses.

Who Can Benefit from Functional Medicine?

Everyone can benefit from healthier lifestyle choices, but functional medicine can help those with chronic, unresolved conditions find relief from their symptoms. Some of the following symptoms are examples of different conditions that Dr Amy Haynes has helped to manage on a daily basis in her practice. We can help, but are not limited to, those with: autoimmune diseases, neurobehavioral disorders, PANS & PANDAS, chronic fatigue, hormone imbalances, mood disorders -such as anxiety or depression, thyroid conditions, and gastrointestinal disorders —for example.

Nutraceuticals

The philosophy behind nutraceuticals is to focus on prevention, according to the saying by a Greek physician Hippocrates (known as the father of medicine) who said “let food be your medicine”. These supplements are natural and derived from whole foods and are used to get your gut in balance and provide you the nutrients you may not be getting in your diet alone.

Physical Exams

Physical exams are non-invasive and provide us with information on how your body is working and developing. These act as a great tool for preventative maintenance for your body. This exam consists of checking balance, muscle strength, and neurological testing, as well as an evaluation of your mental state and well-being.

 

Blood Chemistry Analysis

This is a test done on a sample of blood to measure the number of certain substances in the body. These substances include electrolytes (such as sodium, potassium, and chloride), fats, proteins, glucose (sugar), and enzymes. Blood chemistry tests give important information about how well a person’s kidneys, liver, and other organs are working. An abnormal amount of a substance in the blood can be a sign of disease or a side effect of treatment. Blood chemistry tests are used to help diagnose and monitor many conditions before, during, and after treatment.

Liver Detoxification

Since symptoms of lowered liver function and even full-blown liver disease are often mild or vague, like nausea or fatigue, it can take time to recognize that the issues are stemming from the liver. This is the reason why detoxification is crucial to your plan, even people who are relatively healthy but find that something is off about their health can find the benefits of a regular detox. Having more energy, reducing toxic buildup, encouraging more regular bowel movements, losing weight, reducing bloat, regulating hormones, and fixing skin issues are some of the benefits and results.

 

Food Allergy Testing

Managing a food allergy can be difficult, but it is made far worse when you are limited by your knowledge of the precise triggers. When you understand which foods will cause an allergic reaction, you can live life more comfortably. Children can attend birthday parties, school events and other functions without fear, while teachers and other responsible parties can stay informed about all dietary requirements. Knowing your allergies is also a crucial piece of information in your overall health plan.

Stool Analysis

In the gut microbiome, the “good” bacteria do more than just help with digestion. They help keep your “bad” bacteria in check. They multiply so often that the unhealthy kind doesn’t have space to grow. When you have a healthy balance of bacteria in your gut, it’s called equilibrium. This equilibrium supports your immune system, your blood chemistry, and your entire body and mind. We use this information to build your plan for your best health.

 

Nutrient Testing

Nutrition testing can be used to evaluate the levels of macronutrients and micronutrients in your blood. Without balanced nutrition, your body is more prone to disease, infection, fatigue, and low performance. Test results can be compared to a reference range of normal values, and help us diagnose nutritional deficiencies and find a Nutraceutical that will work for you to meet your health goals.

Organic Acid Testing

The (OAT) offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health. It provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast and bacteria. Abnormally high levels of these microorganisms can cause or worsen behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue, and immune function. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal organic acids in their urine.

 

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care may include any of the following such as adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises and stretches, joint bracing/taping, and additional guidance on diet and nutrition to reduce inflammation and promote a healthy lifestyle. A chiropractic adjustment can help reduce pain, correct your body’s alignment and how your body functions physically.
