Ten Ways to Flourish in 2024

12/31/2023

At Flourish Medical + Wellness, we're all about making sure your body works at its best. We’re very aware of the research compiled over hundreds of years on how to keep people healthy and thriving. And we aren't fond of just extending life by taking meds every day to cover up symptoms. Our approach to medicine is all about helping you live long and stay healthy, as God intended. Here are ten ways to flourish as we partner with you in your wellness.

#1 Weight Loss

At FMW we believe that an effective weight loss program needs to be tailored to each individual’s lifestyle, health, age, and hormone levels. Therefore, we offer a variety of weight loss options in order to provide optimal results for each individual patient. With the goal of sustainable weight loss, the best approach is with a balanced and individualized strategy that considers factors like nutrition, exercise, mental well-being, and long-term habits. Restoring optimal hormone levels, testosterone, estradiol, and thyroid, is an integral part of a successful weight loss plan. This makes weight loss more attainable as well as sustainable!

#2 IV Therapy

Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy is a treatment which includes ingredients like essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids proven over decades to play a significant role in our health and wellness. IV nutrient therapy is a safe, effective, and restorative therapy used to aid in treating several medical conditions and to boost your immune system. Our IV therapy is customized to meet each individual’s nutritional needs and is administered directly into the veins which provides significantly more benefit than oral and traditional supplements and medications. Check out the benefits and our nutrient menu>>

#3 Hormone Therapy

Hormone imbalance happens to both men and women and can have a significant impact on overall health and wellness. Hormones are one of the most important regulatory systems in the body. They function as messengers, interacting with specific target cells and organs to stimulate them into action. Hormone replacement therapy offers relief from many of the uncomfortable symptoms caused by a hormone imbalance. It can change your life! Read our patient’s stories>>

#4 Toxin Removal

God designed our bodies to be able to detoxify and heal in most circumstances, however, with continuous toxin exposure and a lack of nutrient dense foods to nourish our bodies and support healing, those natural detoxification pathways can become blocked or stagnant. When this occurs, toxins build up inside the body and can cause diffuse inflammation, leading to disease processes. At Flourish, we offer thorough toxin testing and detoxification options.

#5 Nutrition

We have all heard (and likely tried) dozens of diets to help us achieve our weight goals. Nutrition means so many different things to each of us. The focus that we offer is to rely on natural, healthy foods that nourish our bodies in order to help us function optimally. Small, sustainable changes are the focus as they are often longer lasting solutions and easier to implement. That’s why we offer a handy (free) Food Swap Guide to make healthy grocery shopping a little easier. At Flourish, we also partner with you through holistic Functional Medicine methods. Perhaps intermittent fasting is an approach you’ve been wanting to investigate. We’ve got a great resource for you.

#6 Supplementation

Our best resource for nutrition should be food but there are many situations where we need to look at supplementation to enhance the amount of vitamins and minerals our bodies are receiving. Most American diets are full of refined carbohydrates and sugars and are insufficient in essential vitamins and antioxidants. This can leave you deficient in many key nutrients that are needed to prevent chronic disease, and to run all body systems effectively. A balanced diet provides a source of vitamins and minerals, but taking dietary supplements with your healthy diet is beneficial in ensuring your body has enough of the nutrients it needs each day. Our (free) Holistic Home Remedies booklet is a great place to start! And our supplement recommendations are available for you to purchase online or at our clinic.

#7 Essential Oils

Essential oils are concentrated extracts derived from various plants and have been used for centuries for their potential health and wellness benefits. While individual experiences can vary, here are some commonly reported benefits of essential oils: aromatherapy, stress and anxiety reduction, improved sleep, pain relief, immune system support, headache relief, skin care, natural air freshener, home cleansers, mood enhancement, and repelling insects. With so many benefits and essential oils to choose from, it’s a great way to flourish! You can learn more and order from our own doTERRA essential oil shop>>

#8 Aesthetic Therapy

At Flourish, our definition of wellness encompasses all aspects of whole-person care, including physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Appearance can have a profound impact on wellness and how we interact with those around us. That is why we offer aesthetic treatments and have chosen to use the safest FDA-approved products to keep you feeling and looking your best. Botox® Cosmetic is the first FDA-approved treatment to improve frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines in adults. The best results come from a well-trained medical provider who understands facial anatomy and musculature and customizes treatment to each individual patient. That's one of the reasons to schedule your Botox® Cosmetic treatments with us. Learn more>>

#9 Gut Health

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the relationship between gut health and overall well-being. We now understand that the gut plays a central role in our health, impacting everything from digestion to the immune system and even mental health. One approach that's gaining traction in the pursuit of optimal gut health is functional medicine. At FMW we also know the increasing exposure to toxins in our environment can worsen symptoms. That is why we offer a parasite protocol. Parasites weaken the body’s natural defense mechanisms which allows for easier invasion by parasites. They may be the underlying trigger for a variety of chronic health conditions, like autoimmune diseases and irritable bowel syndrome. We offer testing and treatment! Learn more about parasite protocol>>

#10 Emotional Health

To flourish, we must place a priority on our emotional wellness. Our medical practice seeks to bring wholeness through physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. That’s why we offer more in-depth testing. If you have been struggling with physical, mental, or emotional symptoms that have no known or identifiable cause, a trapped emotion may be the cause. Working with the Governing Meridian energy pathway and applied kinesiology, these trapped emotions can be identified and removed, leading to healing and improvement or resolution of the associated symptoms.

And the treatments and plans we suggest for you aren't determined by insurance companies. Instead, we give you the care that fits you like a glove. We look at your symptoms, offer appropriate testing, complete a comprehensive assessment to determine your care plan.

Flourishing with Aesthetic Therapy

11/16/2023

There's something truly wonderful about feeling good both inside and out. It's like this perfect harmony between your inner self and the reflection in the mirror. When you take the time to care for yourself, whether it's through self-reflection, acts of kindness, or even a little pampering like aesthetic therapy, there's this undeniable glow that radiates from within.

For Christ followers, our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Taking care of one's body, including physical appearance, can be seen as a form of stewardship—a responsibility to maintain and respect the body as a gift from God.

It's not just about the external appearance; it's about aligning your thoughts, actions, and self-perception. When those elements sync up, it's like you're carrying this secret joy that can't help but spill over into your interactions and the way you navigate the world. It's a beautiful thing, realizing that feeling good isn't just a surface-level affair but a deep connection between you and your Creator.

The connection between aesthetic treatments, such as Botox® and other cosmetic procedures, and mental well-being is multifaceted and can have both psychological and emotional implications. Here are several aspects of this connection:

Enhanced Self-Esteem and Confidence

Aesthetic treatments often lead to improvements in physical appearance, which can boost self-esteem and confidence. When individuals feel more satisfied with their looks, they may experience a positive shift in their self-perception. This newfound confidence can extend to various aspects of their lives, from personal relationships to professional endeavors.

Impact on Social Interactions

Improved self-confidence resulting from aesthetic treatments may positively affect social interactions. Individuals who feel more comfortable and confident in their appearance may be more likely to engage in social activities, form connections, and participate in events, contributing to an overall sense of well-being.

Psychological Benefits of Self-Care

Undergoing aesthetic treatments can be viewed as a form of self-care. Taking the time and effort to address one's physical appearance can have psychological benefits, fostering a sense of self-worth and showing a commitment to personal well-being. This focus on self-care may contribute to a more positive mindset.

Positive Feedback Loop

Aesthetic treatments can initiate a positive feedback loop between physical and mental well-being. Feeling good about one's appearance can lead to improved mood and mental health, which, in turn, may motivate individuals to continue engaging in activities that promote their overall well-being.

It's important to note that while aesthetic treatments can have positive effects on mental well-being for many individuals, the relationship between physical appearance and mental health is complex and varies from person to person. Additionally, achieving long-term mental well-being involves a holistic approach that may include self-care, positive relationships, and mental health support when needed. We want to partner with you on your holistic health journey. Perhaps you would flourish with Botox® Cosmetic. Contact us with questions about aesthetic therapy.
