Integrative
Wellness Care

This is the foundation of the Optimal Wellness Program providing a truly holistic picture of the whole person and a clear roadmap for healing. The stressors and blocks to healing are uncovered and addressed by blending the best of functional medicine, intuitive energy analysis, targeted food-based supplement protocols, and energy-based mind-body approaches.

This is conducted by Dr. Suman after the initial Wellness Consultation for the Optimal Wellness Program or as a separate service if requested or needed.

Holistic Energy Analysis

The unique defining characteristic of holistic healthcare that separates it from conventional medical care is a broader view of the person beyond just the body and symptoms. This broader view factors in the functional, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual parts of each person. In this regard, it's important to consider assessment methods that are able to consider these layers of the whole person. The Holistic Energy Scan is a method that combines traditional kinesiology or muscle testing approaches and medical intuition with the intent of accessing the wisdom of the body. The goal is to disentangle the core issues or root causes to create a prioritized plan of action in the best interest of the patient.

We first and foremost identify the most significant stressors if any that may be the source root cause of what is causing the imbalance, symptom, or condition. Examples of stressors include infections, physical or energetic toxins, physical or emotional trauma, disruptive energy patterns, lifestyle issues, and spiritual issues. These stressors are major blocks to healing, create a burden on the person, and drain vitality, They should be addressed as soon as possible on the healing journey to promote proper healing and not just symptom management.

The next step that is unique to our process is to then assess the area of the body or energy system that needs the most attention in the healing process. The effect of the stressors on the body may manifest as symptoms or issues in structure, alignment, inflammation, organ function, tissue repair, the mind, and meridian and chakra systems.

Addressing the stressors AND the effect of the stressors on the whole person ensures the potential for true and complete healing in the most efficient way.

A typical session will begin with ascertaining the best initial course of action in the best interest of the patient...start with identifying and addressing stressors only, identifying and addressing the main effects of the stressors, or both.

The major stressors and/or the effects of the stressors will be prioritized in order of importance to the healing process. What this means is that addressing the highest-priority issues from the onset enables optimal healing potential and allows for a focused and manageable care plan instead of trying to address every single symptom or issue. In addition, often other symptoms may actually indirectly clear by addressing the priority stressors first.

The method of assessment may vary depending on the person or whether the session is in person or online. Often a direct biofeedback test is used in person such as muscle testing. Online sessions will usually be mostly based on medical intuition overlayed over our healing model.

Functional Medicine Testing

Functional testing using blood, saliva, and urine is a method of assessing the state of health beyond the usual scope of the traditional medical approach of only looking at normal blood ranges to diagnose disease or illness. With the growing popularity and effectiveness of functional medicine as an assessment tool, more medical doctors and health practitioners are utilizing this model of care for wellness and addressing issues before blood markers appear out of the "normal" range. Some common issues addressed by functional testing include hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, hidden infection burden, gut dysbiosis, and toxin exposure.

Functional medicine is a wonderful tool to get detailed and valuable information about specific health issues of the body as well as to monitor health progression. We employ traditional blood testing as well as saliva, urine, and hair analysis to gather as much information as possible about health status and direction of care...BUT, we do not rely on functional testing ONLY for assessments and treatments. For many, it can be cost-prohibitive and actually unnecessarily confusing to consider an overabundance of information that may or may not be related to the direction of care that is actually a priority. Obviously, functional testing can not assess the energetic and emotional components of wellness!

Functional Nutrition

Functional Nutrition is the use of natural supplements to target the body and mind based on the results of the Wellness Assessment. The body has to innate capacity to heal and repair if the proper resources are available and if the healing pathways are balanced and clear. The main goals of Functional Nutrition are to activate healing, repair, rebuilt, and balance the body and mind.

The supplements used are selectively chosen for maximum effectiveness in the shortest amount of time. The highest clinical-grade supplements are mostly sourced from companies that supply health professionals. These are not your run-of-the-mill vitamins from the local store!

Different types of supplements are utilized depending on what is being targeted for healing or balance. Whole-food-based nutrients are used to supply the body with needed nutrition, balance deficiencies, and promote healing. Herbs and homeopathy are selectively used to activate healing and target areas that need attention.

Mind-Body Integration

Healing is a transformative process hardwired into our beings but easily interfered with and blocked. The body, emotions, and mind are separate apparent functional systems to our perception but in reality, they function as a unified and integrated whole system. The vital healing force permeates all three seemingly distinct parts of us and the key to true healing that creates lasting change is properly addressing any interference or blockage in this flow throughout the whole person.

To this end, applying Mind-Body Integration methods are crucial to the full healing process. Connecting awareness mindfully to the body while coordinating the breath facilitates the release and movement of emotion and vital energy. This creates the right mindset of decreasing resistance and allowing the full healing process to unfold in time.

Mind-Body Integration encompasses a number of methods and therapies based on a common philosophy and intention. The basic premise is applying a mindfulness-based somatic method directing awareness or energy with guidance or direct touch to get the desired result. As part of the Integrative Wellness Care sessions, this may include a combination of breath-coordinated mindfulness applications, direct mindfulness meditation, or even Holistic Chiropractic. As part of the Total Wellness Program, other treatments by other practitioners may be included in the overall care plan such Acupuncture, Shamanic Healing, and Zen Shiatsu.
