Get to the Root Cause of Your Health Concerns
My approach
I take the guesswork out of your health journey by using advanced functional lab testing, including comprehensive blood chemistry, gut microbiome analysis, and food sensitivity testing to uncover the root causes of your symptoms.
By connecting your test results with your unique health history and experiences, I create a personalized, science-backed plan that restores balance and supports your body’s natural ability to heal. Each recommendation is thoughtfully designed to address underlying imbalances, remove obstacles to healing, and help your body function the way it was meant to.
My approach views the body as an integrated system where every organ and process works in connection with the others. By identifying where those connections have weakened, we can bring your body back into alignment so you can the highest quality of life possible.
How My Approach Differs from Conventional Medicine
| Joy Integrative Wellness | Conventional Medicine |
|---|---|
| Root-Cause Healing – I look deeper to uncover what’s driving your symptoms so we can restore lasting health from the inside out. | Symptom Management – Focuses on easing discomfort, often without addressing what’s actually causing it. |
| Whole-Body Connection – I see the body as an integrated system where hormones, digestion, energy, and mood all influence one another. | Fragmented Care – Each system is treated separately, making it easy to miss how everything is connected. |
| Personalized Testing & Guidance – Your plan is built around your unique lab results, history, and goals, not a one-size-fits-all protocol. | Standardized Treatment – Care often follows set guidelines or medications, regardless of individual differences. |
| Collaborative, Supportive Care – I partner with you, helping you understand your body and make changes that truly move the needle. | Limited Support – Appointments are often brief and focused on prescriptions over prevention. |
| Restoration & Resilience – The goal isn’t just to feel better, it’s to rebuild balance, energy, and confidence in your body’s ability to heal. | Temporary Relief – Symptoms may improve for a while, but the underlying issues often remain. |
