Optimal Wellness for Life

“I’m working out regularly and eating healthy - why am I still feeling awful and not losing any weight?”

This “blip in the road” can be so frustrating, but the good news is something can be done. It starts with getting metabolically healthy.

We will work with you to develop an individualized metabolic support protocol. This is not a weight loss protocol, but rather a “reset” of sorts. We will use targeted supplements and dietary changes to work on supporting your metabolic pathways, creating sustainable lifestyle changes that can help get you over that blip in the road.

Is your food making you feel lousy? It can be frustrating to be eating “all of the good foods” and still feel awful. Sensitivities to foods can cause a wide array of symptoms and chronic health problems - i.e. migraines, congestion, gas, bloating, fatigue, pain, skin irritations, arthritis, mood disorders, etc. Learn how your body responds to the specific foods you consume by considering the Lifestyle Eating and Performance (LEAP) test at Optimal Wellness!

LEAP is classified as a food sensitivity test, but actually provides so much more information, specifically in regards to gut health. Gut health can have a HUGE impact on overall health. Year upon year of bombardment from stressors, toxins, medications, etc. can lead to the intestinal membrane becoming hyperpermeable. This triggers an immune response in the body, in turn contributing to chronic inflammation. With LEAP testing, specific foods that are causing that inflammatory response can be pinpointed by measuring how your white blood cells respond to foods. Your white blood cells are “defenders” that work hard to protect you from what they see as a threat. After following the LEAP process, your newly healed gut will allow you to go back to being able to tolerate those “healthy” foods that you were having trouble with before!

At Optimal Wellness, we understand how pricey functional medicine can be. We also understand how frustrating it is that insurance does not cover functional medicine AT ALL. Perhaps someday that will change, but for now we have to deal with the hand we have been given!

Over the past several months, we have been working on ways to make functional medicine more attainable for everyone. This resulted in a restructure of our pricing and how we offer our services.

In this restructure, we decided to offer Dr. Ruby’s introductory functional medicine consultation for $149. This “discovery session” will allow Dr. Ruby to get an idea about what your goals and expectations are, and give you an introduction to what Optimal Wellness has to offer.*

We have also lowered the price of our functional medicine packages, and incorporated discounts when purchased together.

We believe this will allow more people to begin their healing journey! Want more information about the functional medicine packages we offer? Check out our website (link in bio).
