Lifelong health and vitality is our birthright. Few of us know why
we lose it or how to get it back.
At The UltraWellness Center, we are committed to
helping you reach optimal health by identifying each person’s
unique underlying causes of disease and treating them. Diet and lifestyle
modifications, in combination with nutritional and specialized testing,
nutritional supplementation, and medications are used to address everyone’s
individual needs, from creating wellness to treating chronic, complex
medical problems.
At The UltraWellness Center we practice a new model
of medicine that incorporates all the best diagnostic tools and technologies
from conventional medicine, as well as emerging tests and tools that
help us identify the critical imbalances that are at the root of all
illness. We practice patient centered, not disease centered medicine.
Leading edge research has provided a new method of diagnosis and treatment,
called Systems or Functional Medicine. By understanding
the core systems in the body, how they become imbalanced, and how
to restore balance, most chronic illnesses can be prevented or cured.
This is not alternative or even integrative medicine. Functional medicine
is the medicine of the future available now.
At The UltraWellness Center, all the physicians are
board certified in Family Practice and are trained in functional,
integrative and nutritional medicine. Our nutritionists have specialized
training in using food as a medical therapy. Our physicians, nutritionists
and nurses work together closely as a team and utilize a comprehensive
approach to health.
OUR WISH is to have everyone say, "I didn't know I could feel
this good."
