What is Integrative Medicine? A Military Mindset Meets Root-Cause Wellness

May 24, 2025 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

I’ve spent over 20 years in the military–deploying into combat zones, flying critically ill patients out of harm’s way, and staying in top physical shape to meet the demands of the mission. At 45 years old, I’m still crushing PT tests and keeping up (okay, let’s be honest–outperforming) folks half my age. But staying this sharp hasn’t come from quick fixes or cookie-cutter solutions. It’s come from years of understanding what my body needs and fueling it accordingly.

That’s exactly what integrative medicine is all about.

What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative medicine combines the best of conventional medicine with cutting-edge diagnostics and evidence-based natural therapies. It doesn’t just mask symptoms–it asks why those symptoms exist in the first place.
It’s a whole-body approach that looks at your body like a roadmap–every curve, detour, and warning sign matters. And no two roadmaps are alike. That’s why what works for someone else may not work for you.

 

Where It All Began

After year of watching patients get bounced from specialist to specialist, collecting prescriptions like candy, and still feeling off, I knew there had to be a better way. That’s why I founded Resilient Aging–to offer a smarter, more personalized, root-cause-focused approach to care.
We don’t just glance at your labs–we dive deep. We look at inflammation markers, hormone pathways, micronutrient levels, methylation patterns, gut health, stress hormones, toxic exposures–and more. This isn’t your 10-minute insurance-covered visit where you leave with a pamphlet and a pill.

 

Why I Don’t Take Insurance

Here’s the truth: Insurance isn’t designed for optimization. It’s built to pateh problems after they arise. I’m not in this to check boxes. I’m here to help you feel amazing—on your terms.

By not contracting with insurance, I can spend the time it actually takes to understand your body and your story. I’m not bound by outdated guidelines or denied lab codes. If your body is giving you signals, I listen—and I investigate.

 

One Body, One You

Medications don’t work the same for everyone. Diets, exercise routines, and supplements shouldn’t either. Whether you’re struggling with hormones, gut health, fatigue, brain fog, or just feel like something’s “off,” the answer isn’t another band-aid.

It’s understanding your unique physiology—and giving your body what it truly needs.

 

30 Days to Transformation

Most of my clients start feeling radically different in just 30 days. Better energy. Sharper focus. Clearer skin. Improved sleep. Fewer cravings. Less pain. It’s not magic. It’s biology, optimized.

 

Have You Been Told “You’re Fine”?

If you’ve been told everything looks “normal,” but you know something isn’t right—you’re not alone. I’ve been there. So have countless others who walk through my doors after being dismissed, overlooked, or rushed through a 7-minute visit.

Your symptoms are not in your head.

You deserve someone who digs deeper. Someone who listens. Someone who knows what it takes to perform at your highest level—because I’ve lived it.

 

Let’s Get to the Root

This is your chance to reclaim your health, your energy, and your resilience. No more chasing side effects. No more “just deal with it.” Let’s find the root. Let’s rebuild from the inside out.
