Pillars of Wellness

Holistic care means that all of the parts of your body, and mind, are intimately connected. Only by addressing all of these components can you properly address wellness. The Pillars of Wellness illustrate this as specific verticals or pillars split into: Chemical, Movement, Mental, and Spiritual. While these systems seem separate, they are areas that we accept as critical to quality of life. By maximizing our standing in each pillar, we can help maximize and maintain the highest quality of life for the longest period of time, which is how Dr. Chalmers defines wellness.

WeightLoss and Sports Nutrition

We focus on fat loss, not weight loss, because if we add 5 pounds of muscle and lose 5 pounds of fat, we are healthier, look better, and feel better, however, the scale shows that there has been zero change. This is part of setting different more functional goals.

Sports Nutrition

Just like taking fat off the body requires specific chemicals, putting muscle on the body requires the proper chemicals, plus exercise and rest. The list of chemicals, or nutrients, is much longer than just protein. While it is actually easiest to gain muscle while losing fat you must put the body into the right chemical position first. Very often athletes will require additional nutrients to aid in achieving their goals.

Testing

The 2 things we need to start are what your goals are (where you want to go) and where you are now. In order to determine where you are now, we have a number of tests we can do to determine the best information on where you are now. We always start with blood tests and the QRA muscle test. These 2 tests, one western medicine and one eastern medicine help give a much better understanding of where we are so we can create the best possible path to health. While there are a good number of specialty tests we use, the tests we run the most often are:

Sleep Studies

These help us determine your oxygenation at night. The body works best with high levels of oxygen. If you have apnea at night, and so you are not getting the proper amount of oxygen it can create a number of issues from energy, and hormone production, to fat and muscle issues, however the 2 most damaged things from sleep apnea are your heart and your brain. How much oxygen you have when you sleep is directly tied to heart attack, arterial plaque, brain fog, dementia, brain health, cancer and a list of other issues.

Arteryplaque tests

Calcium CT, Calcium dye studies (CTA), and CLEERY a CTA with AI helping to map the artery to ensure the best information we can get. Cholesterol levels have very little to do with actual plaque. UCLA did a study in 2009 of 136,000 people who were in the hospital for heart attacks and 75% of them had good cholesterol levels. This means that looking at your cholesterol levels can give you a very unrealistic view of your cardiovascular health.

Echocardiograms

This is a video of your heart actually moving. We can see valve issues, myocarditis, leaks, holes, even the amount of blood that is pushed out of your heart every time it beats. This test can be the difference between life and death for a lot of people.

DNA Studies

There are a lot of different DNA studies that can be done. We can study how your body will respond to different medications. We can see how you methylate (MTHFR issues), how your brain might handle concussions (APOE), cancer risks, and much more.

Learningstyle studies

Understanding yourself especially how you accept communication, or how you learn, visual learner, auditory learner, kinesthetic learner can help people learn faster and easier.

MRIs

One of the best ways to find a problem is to look. We can determine torn muscles, ligaments, and tendons. We can see cancers, cysts and tumors when they are small and more manageable. We can see many different problems before they become a threat to either quality of life or life itself.

Wearable Technology

With the advent of so many devices to monitor and report body function, like heart rate monitors, Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM), step counters, and all the rest that are out there we have never been able to have this much data about ourselves to aid in our goals. We will implement several of these in your plan as they become appropriate. We want to take advantage of anything that will help us get to our goals and wearable technology does aid in this.

With Pillars of Wellness, you’re in control of your own health, if you want a test or a lab we will get it done. You own your body, not the government or your doctor, if you want information about your body we will do everything in our power to help you. If you read about, hear about, or just wonder about a test feel free to ask. We are saddened by the numerous reports of people asking their doctor for a test and the doctor simply saying no. If you want any testing done just ask and we will help you get it.

Exercise

Its very hard to be healthy without adding muscle to the body. Muscle not only moves us but is where a lot of the energy the body needs is made. Muscle also helps talk to the brain and influences our mood much more than people understand. So, building a strong functional body should be part of everyone's plan. However, the amount is always up to the person, because all the work is up to them. We understand that some people want to build very large powerful bodies and perhaps one day get on stage and compete in fitness or body building. We also understand that many, many people do not want that. Either way, you must construct a plan to get there. The good thing is that if you can build a plan to “turn it up to 11” its really easy to build a plan to turn it up to 6.

Mental work

Psychological stress is the number one thing we need to push back against if we want true long term health. When we get stressed out our mind literally changes the way the body works. It moves from a Para-sympathetic nervous system, designed to rest regenerate and digest, to a Sympathetic system designed to avoid danger, the fight flight freeze system. If we are stressed out our digestive track slows or stops. This also creates a change in metabolism, nutrient needs and can create significant issues for health. Getting your head in the right space is critical to overall physical health.

PTSD, Addiction, Depression

Many times, we have serious issues in our past that change us. Violence, sexual trauma, divorce, even the daily kick in the teeth that we all endure, can build up over time and change the way our nervous system functions, we call this PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Once thought to be unfixable we have learned that with the proper use of psychedelics it is possible to greatly help with these issues. In some cases, it is possible to turn down the nervous system to a point where you do not feel the issue anymore. We have had veterans and first responders tell us that the PTSD they had is completely gone. It is available to you as well.
