Join us over at onebody.live for daily, short, practical and implementable tips on all things health, wellness, peak performance, and doing all we can to optimize that one body; grounded in functional medicine and guided by the premises below.

YOU ONLY GET ONE BODY.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT?

This is the one and only body you get. Do not take it for granted. Respect it. Fuel it with healing foods, ample amounts of proper movement, intelligent application of beneficial knowledge, restorative sleep, positivity, mindfulness, and gratitude in order to get the most out of it. Treat it right to optimize function to increase not only quantity, but quality of life. Your ONE BODY is your vehicle for continued growth and attainment of happiness. Let’s intelligently maximize it’s potential and strive to thrive.

YOUR ONE BODY FUNCTIONS AS A WHOLE.

Your ONE BODY operates as an intertwined matrix, functioning as an interdependent, cooperative network. Although made up of countless complex systems, none of these systems function in isolation, and therefore can not be responsibly and truly successfully addressed in isolation. Only when we embrace this undeniable holistic nature of the body can we break free of singular system, symptom silencing sick-care, and reap the benefits of all the parts collaborating in concert, facilitating true healthcare and a better life.
YOUR ONE BODY IS UNIQUE TO YOU.

Recognizing and respecting genetic uniqueness and subsequent, epigenetic expression of these genes based on your unique history is imperative to uncover and correct the underlying dysfunction that is ultimately responsible for any concerns, complaints, signs and symptoms. This is in direct contrast to a one size fits all, cookie cutter approach that neglects each and everyone’s biological individuality and complex experiences and interactions with the world around them. Case specific advance diagnostic testing and interpretation, coupled with individually customized approaches serve as the cornerstone to the functional approach to you, your ONE BODY, your health, and the rest of your life.
