We want your time with us to be time spent well. That's why we provide services that help you take charge of your health.  The strategy we recommend for your Step-Wise program may include one or several of the following services:

Diet 
We consider food to be medicine.  The power of a balanced, whole foods-based diet can't be underestimated in controlling hormone balance, digestive problems, inflammation, allergies, weight and increasing energy.   You want a diet that is good for heart, bones, your digestion, cancer prevention and a healthy weight.  You also want to know how to make it real...so join us at our seasonal cooking classes, or request a customized, Chef-designed meal plan.

Nutrient Repletion

Along with diet, a supplement program may be recommended to provide needed nutrients.  Improving digestion and nutrient absorption is also an important piece.  

Detoxification
  Detoxification is about clean living.  You may be interested in a 1-2 week intense detoxification program for better energy or you may be looking to make a longer-term commitment to living clean in an increasingly toxic world.  In any case we have strategies for you.  We incorporate whole foods, medical foods, plant-derived drainage remedies, herbs, supplements and healthy living resources, depending on the extent and depth of your detoxification program.

Hormone Balancing  

Hormone balancing is more than hormone replacement.  We incorporate diet, exercise, herbs, detoxification, supplements, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, medical foods and lifestyle counseling to optimize your body's natural hormone production and to quell the rise in pro-aging and pro-inflammatory hormones that increase with age. 

Lifestyle Modification 

This is about putting the important things in life first.  It's about balancing work with play and about having more repleting things (foods, thoughts, habits) in a day than depleting things.  We consider exercise, stress management, goal setting to be important factors.  To work out the details we have a network of specialty professionals to draw on - from counselors and life coaches to personal trainers.

Acupuncture and Physical Therapies 
These are body therapies used to help with pain, circulation and rehab.  At HealthSpan we provide hydrotherapy, frequency specific microcurrent, acupuncture and needle-less acupuncture.   We also have an independent network of specialized manual therapists we refer to frequently.

Natural Hormone Balancing for Women of All Ages

There is more to hormone balancing than hormone replacement!  This 3-tier program begins by addressing the foundations of hormone balance: regulating stress hormones and insulin + liver and digestive system support.  Tier 2 therapies include  fine-tuning estrogen and progesterone balance using plant-derived nutrients and medicines.  If need be, patients progress to Tier 3 interventions which include detailed hormone testing and referral for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
