Are you tired of hearing all the new buzzwords in medicine? There are so many, some that come to my mind are “holistic” “liver detox” “heavy metals” “functional medicine” “mold exposure”. In our humble opinion – with the onslaught of information on social media and platforms like YouTube or Google, it is more confusing now than ever to be a patient. Providers are leaving corporate healthcare and starting their own wellness clinics hoping to lure patients in with big promises and large price tags. “No one does ______________ like we do here!” they’ll say. Then you might spend $2,400 dollars on a consult and several functional labs, be told you have mold, get a mold detox, spend thousands of dollars on the supplements to do it, and maybe feel better. And maybe you don’t. So you go back to Instagram, look for the next provider you might try who promises to get you feeling well. Sound familiar? It does to Jordyn, our ARNP who experienced a similar journey seeking help from functional medicine providers who led her astray in more than one direction.
Now modern medicine doesn’t get off the hook here either. The reason so many patients are seeking these new cash-pay clinics clearly has to do with modern medicine’s failure to meet the needs of the masses. Corporate healthcare is a machine, and it’s an efficient one. Providers are incentivized to see more patients, write more notes, and move quickly and efficiently. Because the more patient appointments – the more the healthcare corporation gets to bill insurance – the more money they can make. Providers will see up to 40 patients a day. Think about if you had to see 40 people you may only see once a year, per day. There is absolutely zero way that doctor, ARNP, or PA can spend any amount of time with you that is helpful for preventative care. No wonder patients are seeking out these more concierge medicine clinics. We get it, we’ve been there.
The reason we chose to title ourselves as “regenerative” really is born out of the passion we have as a team to help patients heal themselves. Our bodies are amazingly creative, smart, and intuitive. There is so much our bodies do for us daily that most people don’t even realize to keep us alive, healthy, and safe. We are passionate about using this intelligence we all inherently have and leveraging it with our skill set and medical knowledge to help you heal literally from the inside out. Regenerative medicine to us really means using what your body already knows to do (which is infinitely smarter than many of us), and redirecting or nourishing those systems in such a way to promote health and healing. For example – our bodies have the most intricately designed system for managing our blood sugar. When that system becomes imbalanced, we start down the road of developing type 2 diabetes. If we can head that off at the pass by catching it early, making lifestyle changes and utilizing herbs, supplements, or medications to help support that system – often we find we can prevent diabetes from ever developing. This has huge implications for heart disease too. On a more literal level, our use of Platelet- Rich Fibrin (PRF) for many of our procedures aligns with our passion to use your own growth factors and healing abilities to address a variety of concerns. We don’t want to sell you on the next big buzzword. Simply put, we believe so fiercely in the bodies incredible capabilities to do so much for us. Sometimes all you need is to be pointed down the right path, without the next flashy thing online that promises eternal health in a powder, capsule, or detox program form.
We are here for you. We are tired of it with you. Let us make this simple for you. Health is not complicated.
