Wellness and Preventive Medicine Q & A
What does wellness and preventive medicine include?
Wellness and preventive medicine at Natural Balance encompasses a comprehensive approach to optimizing your health before problems arise. This includes advanced diagnostic testing (genetic, metabolic, hormonal, and nutritional panels), personalized diet and exercise recommendations, weight management, anti-aging strategies, preventive genomics, stress management, sleep optimization, and targeted supplementation — all tailored to your individual health profile and goals.
How can I improve my brain health?
Brain health can be improved through a multi-faceted approach that includes optimizing neurotransmitter balance through targeted amino acid therapy and nutritional support, addressing hormonal imbalances (particularly thyroid and adrenal function), reducing inflammation through dietary changes and supplementation, improving sleep quality, managing stress, ensuring adequate levels of key nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, and magnesium, and incorporating regular physical exercise and cognitive stimulation.
What can I do about allergies or intolerances?
At Natural Balance, we use comprehensive testing such as the ALCAT food sensitivity test and immune-allergy panels to identify specific food sensitivities and environmental triggers. Based on your results, we develop personalized management plans that may include elimination diets, gut healing protocols, nutritional support to strengthen the immune system, and strategies to reduce overall inflammatory burden. Addressing underlying gut health is often key to resolving chronic allergy and intolerance issues.

How Can I Improve My Brain Health?
The Natural Balance Wellness Medical Center brain health division focuses on neurological and psychological conditions that affect your brain health. The goal is to relieve brain issues using a multidisciplinary holistic approach.
Natural Balance Wellness Medical Center has a full-scale state-of-the-art brain health center that features the safest, most powerful, and most effective technologies. Brainwave Optimization® is an important part of this approach.
During your Brainwave Optimization sessions, you’ll relax while the read-only sensors on your scalp assess your brain activity. This information is transformed into sound, which helps your brain auto-calibrate safely and effectively as you listen to it.
With optimal brain health, you can often enjoy more restful sleep, improved mood and memory, enhanced concentration, and better relationships, along with many other positive benefits.
What Can I Do About Allergies Or Intolerances?
Many patients suffer from some type of environmental or food allergy or intolerance. Your doctor at Natural Balance Wellness Medical Center can test you for various foods and other substances, and then customize a treatment plan for you.
Cyrex™ testing helps identify sensitivity and reactivity to numerous chemicals and foods, and also detects autoimmune issues. ALCAT® tests for food sensitivities, which may reveal the cause of inflammatory, gastrointestinal, or metabolic disorders or conditions.
Natural Balance Wellness Medical Center takes an all-natural approach to allergy treatment that includes Nambudripad's allergy elimination technique (NAET) and/or a therapeutic diet. If you have food sensitivities, the team can recommend the specific dietary changes
