Our Comprehensive Evidence-Based Approach
Our evidence-based approach starts with your lab work. Marina and her qualified team of medical doctors and nurses analyze your results to identify any underlying health issues or concerns that would shape your treatment plan.
Have you ever noticed how our healthcare system is designed to react to a disease rather than prevent it? Breakthrough to a proactive approach to your health. Our lab work is not your regular doctor blood work. We will uncover your personal and genetic predisposition to illnesses so you can adjust your lifestyle and diet to prevent them. Marina orders and interprets lab testing that can give you information on the status of your health way before you develop a problem. She will look at your metabolic health, inflammation status, your genetic predisposition and much more.
The Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine
Nutrition Food as Medicine
Our team uses a "food as medicine" approach. Marina’s nutritional assessment tools provide an in-depth picture of your nutritional status. She uses technology like a biophotonic scanner, in-depth questionnaire and your laboratory values to understand your unique situation. Based on your personal results, health history and genetic predispositions Marina creates your personalized nutritional plan to guide you to health and vitality.
We are our own architects of our health. Here in the US we are overfed but undernourished. Marina looks at food that we eat as our fuel and our medicine. Sometimes our bodies require a little help with vitamins and minerals to achieve health and vitality. Based on your personal history, laboratory values, and nutritional habits Marina and her team can recommend pharmaceutical-grade supplements (highest purity and bioavailability, >99% purity without fillers or binders) to optimize your health.
Physical Activity & Movement
Whether it be a walk around the block while on a phone call with a loved one or planting a new garden, small changes in your activity level can lead to big results. Marina guides you to what regular and consistent exercise is realistic for you to maintain on a daily basis. After all, it’s not only about the shape of your body, it is about protecting you from chronic disease, depression, anxiety, inflammation, weakened immune system and improving your brain function.
Sleep Optimization
Poor sleep leads to weakened immune systems, irritability, stress, and more. Most importantly, it can shorten your life expectancy. British researchers discovered that less than 5 hours of sleep doubles the risk of death from cardiovascular disease. Not getting enough sleep is detrimental to your health and productivity. Marina uncovers the root cause of your poor sleep, whether that be dietary, environmental or coping behaviors.
Stress Management
Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, obesity or immune dysfunction? They, along with other ailments, may be caused by negative stress. Marina helps patients recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms and work towards reduction techniques that lead to improved overall wellbeing.
Social Connection & Healthy Relationships
Did you know that you can improve your longevity, health and even heart rate and blood pressure with moments of connectivity with your family, friends, and loved ones? Research tells us that the single most important predictor of happiness and longevity is having social connections. Healthy relationships reduce stress and increase your emotional resiliency. Marina and her team consider your home and community when advising you on changes to improve your overall health.
