The Essence of Health Approach
Lifestyle and Functional Medicine
At Essence of Health, Dr. Toombs-Withers utilizes a unique approach that addresses your health from every angle, taking into account your hormones, metabolism, nutritional intake, lifestyle risks, and environmental exposures to help determine the root cause of your condition and to get you on a path to sustainable health.
ā
We integrate Functional and Lifestyle Medicine. Most practices focus on one or the other. At Essence of Health we combine both for maximum optimization of your health. This means you get comprehensive root-cause investigation into your concerns AND a strategic, sustainable, comprehensive plan to address it, personalized to YOUR body, YOUR life, and YOUR goals.
ā
We look at patterns throughout your health history. Your FATIGUE isn't viewed in isolation, it's investigated utilizing data and research to evaluate your complete thyroid function, your iron status, your cortisol patterns, your metabolism and blood sugar regulation, your hormones. Your WEIGHT gain challenges are NOT blamed on "lack of willpower" or an imbalance of "calories in versus calories out", instead, its investigated taking into account your insulin resistance, hormone imbalance, cortisol dysregulation, and metabolic adaptation. Your PERIMENOPAUSE and MENOPAUSE symptoms aren't dismissed as "just part of the aging process" but are comprehensively evaluated to see how your body is metabolizing your sex hormones and evaluating your androgen status. Your SYMPTOMS aren't treated as separate problems, but your gut health, your sleep, your stress, your toxin exposures, are investigated as we understand the interconnectedness of these concerns.
ā
This integrated expertise and experience is exactly what you need when conventional medicine has failed to give you the answers and the health outcomes you deserve.
ā
At Essence of Health, you're not getting cookie-cutter protocols. You're getting personalized medicine from a physician who understands the science of metabolic and hormonal health at the highest level, and who knows how to translate that into practical strategies for your real life.
