The Step 1 Process
Take a look into the past and ask the right questions. Furthermore, find the key to discovering the root cause.
History
To discover the root cause, we go over the client's history in health from all angles in and out of the hospital setting (no medical diagnosis is being made).
Lifestyle
Observing and going over with a fine tooth comb how we operate in our daily lives is critical to understanding where a 'disturbance' can be occurring. This also goes into relationships and daily exercise.
Environment
Environmental exposures to something like mycotoxins from various mold species can pose serious problems for even the most nutritionally sound individual.
Short-term Plan
With the client’s health history and a current understanding of how they live their lives day to day, we can set up a short-term health plan to get everything rolling prior to reviewing any (optional) lab results.
Short-term plan example(s)
- Take steps to change living environment or improve it.
- Consider adding an exercise routine or improving upon it.
- Become aware of possible toxic exposures in both the living and work environment
- Go over how particular family and friend circle settings can negatively affect physical health or improve it.
- Alter diet to positively influence on a metabolic level the body's own ability to heal itself while suppressing disease.
- Be made aware of ways to feel more optimal throughout the day via Asa's acronym "DREAMBELLS" and to seek health advice from professionals that specialize in areas outside of our scope at Polarity Health.
Review Labs
While labs are important for the client to establish a clear goal for getting to the root of their health concerns with our support, it is important to understand that these are OPTIONAL and in no way being used to diagnose a medical condition, and we will happily work with your physician. The client’s personal budget is also something we go over before considering this route.
These labs can go over environmental exposures like recent mold poisoning, current exposure to toxic agents in commonly used products like pthalates, benzyne, or xylenes, hormone imbalances, heavy metal exposure, and mineral imbalances. These all can lead someone to better understand the root cause of their issues.
Yeast, Mold, Parasites
Either through the client's physician or via a third party self-help source, we at Gut Goals feel that the tests from one of our favorite research based labs are second to none in pinpointing gut dysbiosis.
Heavy Metals & Mineral Imbalances
We incorporate Hair Mineral Analysis Testing via other companies that specialize in ionomics that we trust to rebalance the client's minerals and chelate heavy metals naturally.
Toxic Agents
Non-living and non-metallic chemical-based toxins are a real threat to our health and it is important to understand where we may be affected in order to remove the exposure from our lives.
Long-term Plan
After we've compiled all of the data that we can from the client's current lifestyle, history, and from whatever they'd like to add from their labs that they go over with their physician, while having already set out on healing in the short-term, we can then chart out a long-term plan to achieve optimal health.
The goal here is to get the client to a point where they can determine the course of their own healing journey with the support we have provided. We generally work in certain time spans and eventually build up to and reach specific health goals before having the individual take health into their own hands.
Diet Mastery
The individual will come to know how their body reacts to certain foods and what foods to best utilize to achieve homeostasis and great nutrition, all while suppressing internal infections.
Lifestyle Mastery
We supply our clients with powerful tactics to navigate complex family/friend, work, and environmental roadblocks all while finding ways to make time for exercise and to generally improve on health.
Awareness Mastery
Knowing what is toxic in the world we live in is important. Otherwise, we're all just rolling the dice and can be exposed to dangerous chemical agents, pathogens, and generally anything that alters our health in our day to day lives.
