Optimal Wellness and Prevention

Health Is Your Most Important Asset:
Invest In Yourself!

Our comprehensive assessment package is designed to take your wellness to the next level.  Designed for patients with no major symptoms or underlying health problems, this forward-thinking package focuses on optimization and prevention of future illness. By looking beyond the basic lab markers we are able to fine-tune your existing diet, medication, and supplement program and detect health problems in their early stages, when they are most treatable. 

If I Feel Good Is There Value in Testing?

Comprehensive testing is helpful even if you don't have any symptoms.  Mild nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and cardiovascular problems don't always cause noticeable symptoms until they are more severe.  That doesn't mean they aren't impacting your body's ability to function optimally in areas such as immune response, detoxification ability, metabolic health, and cognitive function.  Even when levels are moderately out of range, some patients don't notice if the problem increases gradually, especially those with a determined mindset who don't allow things to slow them down.

“Spark Health is like an oasis. The staff, the doctors, the ambiance all make you feel calm and cared for. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to take their health to the next level.”

 FAQs

  • Naturopathic medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that combines traditional healing methods with modern medical science. It focuses on natural remedies and the body's inherent ability to heal and maintain itself. Naturopathic doctors aim to treat the underlying cause of illness rather than just the symptoms, using various therapies including dietary changes, herbal medicine, lifestyle adjustments, and more.

  • Naturopathic medicine offers a personalized approach to health, addressing the root causes of chronic conditions such as inflammation, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and lifestyle factors. By developing a tailored treatment plan, naturopathic doctors aim to improve your body’s natural healing abilities, reduce symptoms, enhance wellness, and potentially reverse chronic conditions.

  • Yes, when practiced by a licensed naturopathic doctor, naturopathic medicine is safe. These professionals undergo rigorous training in natural therapies as well as basic medical sciences. However, it's important to communicate with your naturopathic doctor about all treatments you're receiving to ensure they complement any conventional treatments safely.

  • Naturopathic medicine can be used alongside conventional treatments, offering a complementary approach. In some cases, natural therapies may reduce the need for certain medications or procedures, but it should not replace conventional medical treatment without a thorough discussion with both your naturopathic and conventional healthcare providers.

  • Your first appointment will typically be longer than a conventional medical visit, often lasting about an hour. Your naturopathic doctor will take a comprehensive health history, ask about your diet, stress levels, lifestyle, and discuss your symptoms. They may also perform a physical exam and recommend diagnostic tests. The goal is to gain a holistic understanding of your health to develop a personalized treatment plan.

  • The time frame to see improvements can vary widely depending on the individual and their condition. Some people may notice changes within a few weeks, while others might take months. Naturopathic medicine often focuses on long-term health and wellness, so patience and consistency with the treatment plan are important.

  • Coverage for naturopathic medicine varies by insurance company and plan. Some insurance plans do cover naturopathic treatments, but others may not. It's important to check with your insurance provider to understand what is covered under your plan.  We can often use your existing insurance to cover the cost of some or all of the lab testing.
