Hi, I’m sandy steed.
What is Integrative Health?
Integrative Health seeks to understand you as a whole person. This approach ensures that your mind, body and spirit are in alignment with your health and wellness goals. Integrative Health also uses the Functional Medicine approach—addressing root cause issues within the body but with additional alternative therapies recommendations so all aspects of your health is addressed for true wellness.
My story
It started several years ago, I struggled with multiple internal issues. My weight wouldn’t come off and my blood sugars weren’t doing all that well. I also have a daughter that was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD and I sought to find real answers for us both. I left conventional medicine and sought out a functional medicine practitioner. With the help of the FM practitioner, a lot of what plagued me went away! When I completed treatment, I asked if my daughter could also receive treatment… he doesn’t see children. So that’s when I went a found the integrative health course to take for myself. You see, the body needs nutrients to live…when there is a nutrient imbalance in the body, that is when issues develop. If you find and address nutrient deficiencies early, there is the possibility of alleviating problems in the future.
