Symptoms we can help
We use the principles of Functional Medicine to address the symptoms listed below. The basis for our treatment is the Individual Health Program in which the client and practitioner work together to get you healthy and enjoying the freedom of health. If you would like Seventh Hand Wellness to help you with your health, the first step is to schedule a Foundational Introduction with us to explore the options.
Diabetes & Metabolic Dysfunction
Insulin resistance and prediabetes
Type 2 diabetes
High cholesterol
Hypoglycemia
Metabolism is the sum of reactions that occur throughout the body within each cell that provide the body with energy. The typical modern-day lifestyle includes nutrient-poor diets, high intake of processed foods, high levels of stress, poor sleep, decreased movement, and an unprecedented exposure to toxins and is a recipe for metabolic dysfunction. We are not designed to be malnourished, inflamed, toxic, stressed, and unrested. Metabolic dysfunction can lead to the development of chronic illnesses through various mechanisms. In conditions like insulin resistance, prediabetes, and diabetes, the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar levels is impaired, leading to chronically elevated blood glucose levels. Over time, this can damage blood vessels and organs, increasing the risk of chronic complications. At Seventh Hand Wellness we aim to reverse metabolic dysfunction by creating a comprehensive, whole-person approach considering factors such as medical history, contributing conditions, genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
Thyroid Disorders
Hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid)
Subclinical hypothyroidism
Hyperthyroidism (over-active thyroid)
Hashimoto's disease
The thyroid is the butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck that produces hormones essential for regulating metabolism, body temperature, energy, mood, hair and nail growth, and much more. Have you been told that your thyroid numbers are “within normal range” but are still struggling with symptoms? Do you still feel poorly even despite being put on thyroid medication? We understand and want to help. Your symptoms of fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, cold intolerance, and many more CAN be resolved with the proper testing, diagnostics, and treatment. Through thorough and appropriate lab testing and assessment of your symptoms we will create a personalized care plan to relieve your symptoms and restore function.
Nutrition & Weight Loss
We get the question all the time, “what should I eat to lose weight and feel better?” As you have probably figured out, losing weight is not as simple as calorie counting and exercise. Every body is unique and therefore everybody needs an individualized approach to reaching their wellness goals. Most often, addressing gut and digestive health, eating habits, hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammation leads to the positive consequence of losing unwanted pounds. We work with you to develop your customized diet and nutrition plan and lifestyle recommendations to help you get to where you want to be.
Bloating and Other Stomach Problems
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
Candida (yeast) Overgrowth
Food allergies/Sensitivities
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates stated “All disease begins in the gut.” Research has continued to prove this to have validity. Poor gut health can cause, complicate, or worsen all conditions including autoimmune disease, mental health symptoms, nutrient deficiencies, hormone dysregulation, and metabolic dysfunction. If the gut is not functioning properly it is hard to achieve healing in other parts of the body. Gastrointestinal problems we commonly treat include sited above.
