Are you struggling with your fitness or athletic goals?
Are you getting slower? Is recovery harder? Are digestive problems plaguing you? Do you find it difficult to lose those last few pounds?
As an athlete you understand that balanced workouts and good nutrition are crucial to your success. However, what if you are being held back by fatigue, insomnia, muscle aches, chronic injuries or infections? Are your mood and libido suffering?
Whether you are a weekend warrior or a professional athlete,
constant training takes a toll on our hormonal and digestive systems and produces a lot of oxidative stress and damage. Preventing this and getting you back on track to optimal performance is our goal.
We do this by assessing your current functional status.
A regular conventional health evaluation not only lacks the in-depth testing that we use, but they also lack the knowledge of optimizing nutrition, micronutrient and hormonal profiles that lead to a successful, happy and thriving athlete.
We don’t tell people that they are too old or that they have to get used to declining performance. We “look under the hood” to target your weaknesses and apply natural and safe treatments to maximize endurance, strength and recovery ability, while also improving body composition, mood, sleep, digestion and overall health.
What do I know about all this?
I am a board certified Integrative Medicine doctor who is also trained in Functional Medicine. I am also athlete who at times has been a cyclist, swimmer, runner, triathlete, yogi and Crossfitter.
I learned the hard way that you can’t expect your body to perform at a high level if you keep pounding yourself into the ground.
Back in 2010 when I was training for my first Ironman, I was also working a stressful job, completing a fellowship and trying to keep up a busy social life. Although I thought I ate well, the pressure to train, skimping on sleep and recovery as well as unmanaged stress took it’s toll on my body. I ended up not enjoying training anymore or competing anymore. My times slowed, my mood took a nose dive and I was achy and exhausted all the time. I had become adrenally fatigued, my GI tract was imbalanced and my micronutrient deficiencies were extensive.
Through testing, nutrition and addressing my underlying deficiencies and inflammation with supplements, I have regained my health and now am able to enjoy working out again.
