Functional & Lifestyle Medicine Education - Empower Yourself and Take Control of Your Health

Functional Medicine uses an integrative approach with an emphasis on identifying root causes that lead to an individual's illnesses and poor health. By addressing these, through modifications in lifestyle factors and other triggers of dysfunction, it is possible to improve,

reverse, or even eliminate many of these conditions. It is an holistic approach with a focus on every aspect that makes us who we are. We are presently ill-served by the conventional model of utilizing a pharmaceutical treatment for every condition, "a pill for every ill", focused on suppression of symptoms rather than a cure, all while the disease process continues unabated. While there is a time and place for medications, they are now used as the primary treatment in the majority of these chronic medical conditions. History shows that this has only led to further disease progression. Improving people's lives through lifestyle modification - dietary changes, proper nutrition, effective exercise, stress management, targeted supplementation and optimized sleep - attention to the mind, body & spirit - you can achieve dramatic changes in your life. Our goal is to help individuals to thrive, not just survive, by providing this knowledge. We offer an educational experience focused on the prevention or management of chronic medical conditions. This knowledge enables one to take control of their own health and empowers the individual to improve themselves. This educational experience can be provided in our office, your home or a public venue. We offer individual, family or group lectures and discussions that are targeted to your area of interest, individualized for you and your target audience. The body is capable of healing itself.... We help you learn how. For more info, visit our website: www.optimalhealthwnc.com

I love Asian food.

Sushi. Pho soup. Curry dishes.

Being lowcarb or keto means I can't eat sushi anymore, because of the rice. I can't eat the pho soup because of the noodles. Curry comes with rice.

What?
Hand rolls with no rice?
You can order Pho without the noodles?
The rice for curry is on the side?

It's not the rice I love about these dishes, it's the flavor, the fish, and the broth. It's an easy enough substitution, it just means you have to request it this way.

This is not a healthy breakfast!
This is not a healthy breakfast!
This is not a healthy breakfast!
This is not a healthy breakfast!
This is not a healthy breakfast!
This is not a healthy breakfast!
This is not a healthy breakfast!
This is not a healthy breakfast!

So, do you think these make for a healthy breakfast?

What a horrible way to start the day. Loaded with sugar, spiking your insulin, leading to a roller coaster ride of blood sugar fluctuations for the remainder of the day. 🎢

If you believe any of these are a health food, you have been heavily indoctrinated by the food industry and mainstream dietetics.
