Chronic and degenerative diseases are the most prevalent illness in the American population. Symptoms often start as a subtle ailment years or decades before a diagnosis is labeled. It is these subtle ailments which are your body’s way to communicate there is something wrong going on. Way too often, being minor annoyances, we ignore or self-medicate to alleviate the immediate discomfort.

​

As we continue with our life either ignoring or self-medicating, the symptoms progress to “Warning” signs: Poor memory and focus; digestive discomforts, chronic aches and pains; fatigue; depression and anxiety; headaches; sleep problems and weight gain. The chronic nature of these ailments lead to further damage to the body’s systems. Any one condition may have various interweaving causes and likewise, one cause can create many different conditions.
