Recommendations. After in-office and lab findings, we create an individual health program oriented toward a healthy lifestyle: a specific personal diet, exercise, enough sleep, relaxation procedures, and meditation. If a person needs, we add Nutritional supplements to help with specific health issues and balancing biological terrain. One of the major health-destroying factors is stress. Chronic stress destroys the entire brain and impacts the brain's command over the autonomic nervous system that regulates all body organs functions. Stress relief is an important part of our program.
