Work With Cindy

Do you walk away from medical appointments not feeling completely heard? Perhaps with just a prescription in hand and still feeling poorly?

For so many, feeling unwell or unhealthy preoccupies their thoughts, choices and ultimately their body. Along with the promise to lose that persistent "10-20 + lbs.".  

Everyone’s biochemistry and physical make up is just a bit different. Cindy takes the best from conventional and functional medicine practice to help you achieve your goals--to find the food and lifestyle choices that work best for your unique body.

This is an in-depth exchange and examination of what has brought you to where your health is today. Includes: review of supplements and medications, measurements of weight, height, waist and hip circumference; blood pressure, establishment of initial short and long term goals. Cindy looks at your stress levels, triggers and other factors that may be interfering with you leading a balanced life. At each visit she’ll work with you to create an action plan with goals best suited for you, correcting and adjusting along the way.

Follow Up Appointments

Weight Control

 
 
 
 
 

The weight loss treadmill-losing, then gaining, over and over is a big business. There is no shortage of weight loss programs in America—a reflection of our futile effort to lose weight. 

The magic formula for weight loss seems elusive for many folks. Indeed, for some the struggle is never ending. Weight loss is on the minds of most of my clients in my practice. People come to see me with a range of advanced chronic diseases and so many of them just plain do not feel well. Getting to the bottom of why someone feels so poorly and actually seeing their health improve is the best part of my job. Often losing weight is a major part of their improvement.  

Truth be told, the weight loss equation is not that simple. Not all calories are created equal, nor are any two people created equal. So, the “calories in — calories out” equation is much more complicated and very much a misnomer.  Plus, the research on the gut microbiome, nutrition genomics and fasting is showing that weight management is an individual endeavor.
