In Depth Physician Consultations.
While visits with your primary care doctor may average 10-15 minutes, physician visits with Dr. Alyse are in depth and informative.
Your first two visits with Dr. Alyse are each approximately one hour long. As a new patient, during your first visit, you will be asked to share important information regarding your known symptoms. You will also be asked to share the goals you hope to attain as a patient. After a lengthy conversation guided by Dr. Alyse, she will determine exactly which lab tests she needs to formally begin your positive course of treatment.
In order to save time, other medical practices often order the same lab tests on nearly all patients. Dr. Alyse firmly believes that she will know which lab tests are correct for you, only after she begins to understand your specific symptoms and what underlying causes she is looking for. The type of lab tests she orders for you may be blood, or urine or saliva or any combination of the three.
After your initial comprehensive first visit, you will be scheduled for your next visit in three weeks. At this second visit, Dr. Alyse will now have quite a lot of information about you available to her. She will spend nearly an hour with you to review all that she now knows about you and what your personal plan for recovery will be.
Nutritional Advice and Guidance
As part of your thorough assessment, Dr. Alyse will determine your ability to absorb and properly metabolize necessary critical nutrients. It is one thing to take a lot of vitamins and minerals, but if your cells cannot use them properly because of irritable bowel or leaky gut or some other metabolic problem then no matter what you take into your body will be of little to no health value.
Once your nutritional status is determined, if it is deficient, Dr. Alyse may use several methods to get your nutritional status back to an optimal point. One approach is to prescribe pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements specific to your individual needs. These supplements are of the highest quality in content and purity and cannot be purchased from local stores. They are only available through the order of a licensed medical doctor. After Dr. Alyse reviews your symptoms and lab tests, she will better know those nutrients in which you are deficient.
In addition to these highest quality nutritional supplements, Dr. Alyse may also order a unique probiotic known as a “medical food.” Again, only available on the prescription of medical doctor, medical food has been shown to rapidly help restore your intestinal tract and the immune system to a normal, functioning status.
Micronutrient Infusion Therapy
In addition, you may also be a candidate for micro-nutrient infusion therapy. This therapy introduces specific nutrients directly into your bloodstream for more immediate results. The types of infusions Dr. Alyse may prescribe include those which boost:
• Sleep,
• Energy,
• Memory,
• Immune system.
She also prescribes infusions to reduce and stop:
• Aches and pains, and
• Migraines.
or combinations of the above.
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
It was once said that “We do not lose our hormones because we age. Rather, we age because we are losing our hormones.”
We have many hormones which are some of the most important and powerful bio-chemical in our bodies. They can make us masculine or feminine and even speed or slow our growth and healing. Hormones carry messages to all of our body’s systems to tell them what to do and how to operate.
When hormones are out of balance or depleted, our body’s operating systems begin to falter and fail and ultimately so do we.
Finding out which hormones are out of balance and carefully rebalancing them with the ongoing guidance of a well trained integrative medical doctor can go a long way to restoring or vital health.
The hormones most of us know are our sex hormones, like estrogen and progesterone or testosterone. These are indeed critical for life. But there are also hormones that are important to our adrenal glands and our thyroid gland.
As an Advanced Health and Vitality patient, Dr. Alyse will look at many of your vital hormones. If she determines that your hormones are out of balance, she will guide their rebalancing with bio-identical hormones replacement therapy. Bio-identicals are made for one patient at a time in a safe, select compounding pharmacy. BHRT is known to be molecularly identical to our own hormones and believed by many to cause far fewer side effects than synthetic hormones manufactured by drug companies.
Hormones Must Be Properly Dosed, Monitored and Balanced
To be safe and effective hormones must be carefully monitored. Contrary to a lot of the hype for hormonal supplements on TV and radio ads too much of a hormone can be as negative as too little of hormone.
Only when hormones are balanced do they work most effectively and safely.
