LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - Are you feeling sluggish? In a fog? Hormones out of balance? The problem could be as simple as what you’re putting on your plate. And the answer could come from a treatment that focuses on your whole body rather than just a specific symptom or illness.
For many, traditional medicine is the common go-to when it comes to treating illnesses. But sometimes it can miss the mark. That’s where a holistic approach can make all the difference.
Dr. Eric Snow with Holistic Health says, “Instead of focusing on just disease and pathology, we’re focused on the entire body and all the systems that make the body run and how they work together.”
When your body isn’t working properly, it can lead to a host of problems, including chronic pain, autoimmune disease, weight gain, and even migraines. That’s why Dr. Snow says the answer starts with listening to your gut.
“We’ve seen profound changes in chronic pain and autoimmune disease just by looking at what’s going on with the digestive systems and how that person’s body is responding to their diet.”
Simply put, food that is meant to fuel your body could be the root cause of the problem. Eating something your body is sensitive to can cause an inflammatory, almost allergic response. Over time, that can lead to brain fog, joint pain, fatigue, and even autoimmune flares.
“That food becomes one of the greatest causes of inflammation in their body.”
Dr. Snow says, it’s like the boy is attacking itself and the person doesn’t even realize food is the trigger. Making ‘alternative medicine anything but alternative.
“These are key approaches that a patient or a person will never achieve the health they are looking for until these things are addressed.”
And addressing them can put your digestive system and gut in alignment, helping your body operate like the well-oiled machine it was intended to be.
Insurance does cover some types of holistic or functional treatments. It just depends on your plan and specific treatment protocols.
