F.I.R.M.M. Method ™ 

Allopathic medicine approaches your health from a pathology perspective. When you have a diseased tissue, the approach is to treat the symptoms of that pathology.  That is why you may feel frustrated with options feeling limited to drugs and surgery.

​

Naturopathic medicine approaches your health while thinking about healthy physiology.  What do your cells need to function properly?  When the body is fed and supported nutritionally, cells will function properly and healing will occur.

​

The foundational components of F.I.R.M.M. ™ are:

​

Functional nutritional supplements.  These are also called nutraceuticals because we are using pharmaceutical grade/dosing of natural ingredients to have a distinct drug-like effect in the body to help heal your physiology.

​

Intravenous therapy, especially using oxygen and ozone, like with EBOO, is a quick and potent method to shift your physiology into a healing state.  IV ozone/oxygen can readily up-regulate your hemoglobin ability to transfer oxygen to cells in your body.  You can shift your cellular state of inflammation to anti-inflammatory after a single session, which is why patients report reduction in pain syndromes so quickly after IV ozone therapy.

​

Restorative hormone therapy is the third pillar to this method.  Your endocrine system is a messenger system comprising of feedback loops of hormones released by internal glands directly into the circulatory system, regulating distant target organs.  Restoring and keeping your hormones in their ideal levels is crucial for a well functioning body.

​

Mental Fortitude.  This component can also be called mental resiliency or flexibility.  Do you have the ability to see the world differently? Can you embrace a new way of doing things --at work, at play, with your significant other?  If you continue to do the same things expecting different results, you are doomed.

​

Metabolic health.  The 5th component and arguably the most foundational piece of the puzzle.  Metabolic health is important because it refers to the overall health of the body's metabolic processes, including those related to digestion, absorption, and utilization of nutrients. Poor metabolic health can lead to a range of health problems, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. Maintaining good metabolic health through healthy eating habits, regular exercise, and other lifestyle habits can help to reduce the risk of these conditions and improve overall health and well-being. Metabolic health is essential for optimal physical and mental functioning and can have a significant impact on quality of life.
