Providing You With Cutting Edge Functional, Naturopathic, Holistic and Integrative Medicine in Michigan

Your Path to Wellness

Don't let unanswered symptoms hold you back any longer. If traditional medicine has let you down, leaving you feeling frustrated and hopeless, we're here to offer a different approach. Since 2012, Dr. Shields and his team have helped thousands of patients in Michigan and across the country using functional and naturopathic medicine.

1

Consult

Meet with one of our doctors, trained in functional medicine, naturopathic medicine, advanced physiology, and biochemistry. Our Certified Functional Medicine Practitioners (C.F.M.P.) or Naturopathic Doctors (N.D.) are available to consult with you via Zoom or in person. They will delve into your in-depth history and questionnaire responses with you. Working together, we will piece together clues from your questionnaires, symptoms, and personal history to identify what factors are causing your health issues.

2

Testing

Our extensive Comprehensive Functional Blood Panel evaluates over 80 biomarkers, and we aren’t going to simply look at the medical ranges but also the optimal ranges. Our testing looks at liver, gallbladder, kidney function, immune response, inflammation levels, multiple autoimmune markers, 17 essential nutrients, detoxification capacity, thyroid health, and other hormone levels. We begin with the essential tests and add more only if necessary.

3

Improvement

With your consultation and testing completed, you will finally understand what has been holding you back and why you haven't been able to get well. We will provide you with a personalized and specific game plan to help you holistically address the various causes of your problems, allowing your body to do what it was designed to do: heal. The best part? We will be there every step of the way to ensure you achieve your goals.

To Improve Your Health You Must Have:

Proper Mindset

Self-sabotage, unrealistic expectations, negative thought patterns, emotional traumas, and fixed mindsets can perpetuate chronic stress and contribute to disease, and vice versa. We can provide access to our in-house cognitive behavioral neuroscientist if needed, who will offer you the tools and insights necessary to navigate this intricate mind-body connection.

Proper Digestive and Immune Function

Hippocrates was famously quoted as saying, "All disease begins in the gut." While not all diseases originate in the gut, modern research supports the idea that issues such as leaky gut, dysbiosis, candida overgrowth, and faulty digestive function can significantly impact both mental and physical health. These gut-related problems can disrupt overall well-being and contribute to a range of health issues.

Proper Detoxification and Cellular Health

Without proper elimination and detoxification of toxins and metabolic waste, these toxins can damage the cells, which results in inflammation. Inflammation has been linked to Alzheimers, Dementia, Heart Disease, Hormone Resistance, Autoimmune Disease, and so much more.

Balanced hormones and neurotransmitters

Hormones and neurotransmitters play crucial roles in regulating appetite, energy levels, immune function, sleep cycles, metabolism, and mood. Restoring and maintaining balance in these molecules is essential for overall health and well-being, as imbalances can contribute to various physical and mental health issues.

Optimal nutrient levels

It has been estimated that 90% of Americans have at least one medically low nutrient level. Fats, proteins, and nutrients are the building blocks of every tissue, organ, gland, and molecule in the body. Nutritional deficiencies and even insufficiencies can impair the body’s ability to heal and function properly, further exacerbating health challenges.

Discover Your Path to Wellness

Each person's health journey is unique, which is why working with a Functional and Integrative Medicine doctor can be so important. While symptoms may appear similar, the underlying causes can vary significantly. For instance, low thyroid function might stem from an autoimmune condition like Hashimoto’s or result from excessive inflammation affecting thyroid hormone function and conversion.

We understand the importance of personalized care!
