The approach to treating our patients chronic and degenerating diseases represents a paradigm shift in that we aim to support our patient’s total wellness rather than merely managing their disease symptoms. We integrate the principles of internal, anti-aging, and environmental medicine in our goal of helping our patients achieve their optimum health potential.

**********Our Treatment Approach**********

In order to help our clients improve their health and wellbeing, it is essential that they take personal responsibility for their health in a proactive way.

A comprehensive medical, family and nutritional history as well as other significant social and environmental information is obtained on all new patients followed by a thorough physical examination.

New Patients: When you schedule your appointment, please try to bring a copy of your medical record summary as well as a list of your medications, herbs, & supplements.

In addition to conventional diagnostic studies, we also assess markers of silent inflammation and oxidative stress which are precursors to full blown disease states. Conventional imaging studies are done as needed.

Proper nutrition is the foundation to regaining vibrant health. We advocate a balanced approach to eating with an emphasis on eating whole foods and avoiding processed and fried foods as much as possible. We encourage eating a generous portion of raw fruits and vegetables daily, eating organic foods and avoiding pesticide sprayed foods whenever possible. Nutrition classes are taught regularly.

The consumption of high quality vitamins are encouraged since our commercially produced and highly processed food is compromised in its vitamin, mineral, enzyme, and antioxidant contents. Antioxidant supplements are very important for most Americans due to the massive amounts of oxidative damage generated by our stress filled and toxic lifestyles. There are many other supplements that can be beneficial under certain circumstances depending on the client’s problem. These supplements are available for purchase onsite at OHWC’s Retail Shop located in the medical spa.

We live in a toxic environment with over 100,000 known synthetic chemicals produced. Furthermore, we are directly exposed to hundreds of toxic chemicals daily. There are approximately 3,000 food additives that we are exposed to. It has been said that the average American consumes approximately 9 pounds of food additives per year and approximately 6 pounds of pesticides per year. We eat meats of animals that are mostly commercially produced with the aid of synthetic hormones and antibiotics and pesticide sprayed grain. We are constantly exposed to petrochemicals in many forms as a matter of living in a modern society. We breathe polluted air, eat foods exposed to pesticides, hormones and antibiotics and some of us drink polluted tap water.

The accumulation of this toxic load in the body tissues contributes to cellular and organ dysfunctions eventually expressed as disease. The body benefits from measures to relieve it of the burden of these organic and heavy metal toxins by periodic detoxifications.

OHWC employs multiple modalities to promote internal and external cleansing.

Numerous studies have shown that emotional stress associated with anxiety, loss, grief, anger and unforgiveness causes the release of inflammatory hormones called cytokines and an increase in stress hormones epinephrine (adrenalin) and cortisol which depresses the immune system. OHWC provides services to help our patients manage their stress and its effect on their lives which put them at risk for various chronic and inflammatory diseases.

The OH Medical Spa provides therapeutic massage services by certified therapists which help to alleviate stress and tension.

This therapy is offered as a safe adjunct to the anti-aging therapeutic services at our wellness clinic. Bio-identical hormones are structurally identical to human hormones. Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy enhances the quality of life for men and women without the same risk involved in the use of older synthetic hormones.

It is said that we age because our hormones decline and that our hormones don’t decline because we age. In either case, Hormone Replacement Therapy can ameliorate many of the associated symptoms of declining hormones and improve the overall quality of life.

A consistent well-balanced exercise program reduces the biological age by 7 to 8 years. Resistance exercise increases lean body mass and bone mass even in older patients while reducing body fat. It also reduces blood sugar, blood pressure, bad cholesterol (LDL), triglycerides and weight. It increases the good protective cholesterol (HDL). At the right dose it decreases inflammation in the body and elevates the levels of endogenous anabolic steroids. Your program will be individualized to your personal needs and condition.

Patients with known cardiovascular problems or who are at increased risk will need physician's clearance prior to beginning an exercise program. A personal trainer is available on request.

Pharmaceuticals are an important component to the multi-modality approach to health care employed at OHWC. They are indispensable under certain conditions. However, our patient’s drug regimen will be kept as simple and minimal as possible.

Other important life style factors that contribute significantly to a person’s overall state of health are: getting proper sleep (7-9 hours), sunshine, fresh air and plenty of clean water.

A healthy employee is a great asset to any business. He or she has less absenteeism due to minor and major illnesses. They are more productive on the job and less likely to cause the company to incur the cost of employee replacement and retraining.
