Where natural medicine meets healthy living
Conditions We Treat
Elixir & Wellness specializes in chronic conditions. Unlike a broken leg that needs a cast or an ear infection that needs an antibiotic, these conditions don’t have a single identifiable cause. We rely on advanced testing to figure out exactly what your body needs to thrive.
Hormone Imbalance
Hormones are chemical messengers produced by various glands in the body, such as the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands. They play a crucial role in regulating numerous bodily functions, including growth, metabolism, mood, and reproduction. Hormonal imbalances can lead to a wide range of health issues, affecting both physical and emotional well-being.
Fatigue
Fatigue is a state of extreme tiredness and lack of energy that can be caused by physical, mental, or emotional factors. It often results from inadequate sleep, excessive stress, illness, or underlying medical conditions. Persistent fatigue can significantly impact a person's quality of life and may require medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
Gut Health
Gut health refers to the well-being of the gastrointestinal tract, which includes the stomach, intestines, and other digestive organs. A healthy gut is essential for proper digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall well-being. Imbalances in gut bacteria, known as dysbiosis, can lead to digestive problems, inflammation, and a variety of health issues, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Chronic Illness
Chronic illness refers to long-term medical conditions that persist for an extended period, often lasting for years or even a lifetime. These conditions can include diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and certain cancers. Managing chronic illnesses typically requires ongoing medical care, lifestyle adjustments, and sometimes medication to maintain a good quality of life.

Nutrition
Functional Medicine places a strong emphasis on the role of nutrition in health and well-being. Practitioners consider an individual's unique dietary habits, nutritional deficiencies, and food sensitivities when assessing their health. They may recommend personalized dietary plans that emphasize whole, nutrient-dense foods to support the body's natural healing processes. Nutrition in functional medicine aims to optimize the body's biochemical processes and address underlying imbalances, such as inflammation or gut dysfunction, through dietary interventions.
Lifestyle
Lifestyle factors play a significant role in overall health and are a central focus of functional medicine. This approach considers aspects like physical activity, sleep patterns, stress management, and exposure to environmental toxins. Functional Medicine practitioners work with patients to identify areas where lifestyle changes can be made to promote better health and prevent or manage chronic conditions. Lifestyle modifications may include exercise regimens, relaxation techniques, sleep hygiene, and strategies for reducing stress.
Education
Functional Medicine places great importance on patient education and empowerment. Practitioners aim to educate patients about the root causes of their health issues and help them understand how their body functions. Through comprehensive explanations and discussions, patients become active participants in their healthcare journey. This education empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their health, including dietary choices, lifestyle modifications, and treatment options. It encourages a collaborative relationship between the patient and the practitioner, fostering a sense of ownership over one's health and well-being.
