How Bloom Works
For nearly a decade we’ve been helping people “bloom” which we consider to mean looking, feeling, aging and performing at your absolute best. Sound good? Read on…
Discover
Naturopathic medicine involves getting to the root cause of what’s keeping you from feeling and performing at your best. Bloom practitioners do not rely on intuition and expensive guesswork; we utilize up to 150 lab bio markers to help us get the clearest picture and put the body’s puzzle pieces together. It is a sort of “Sherlock Holmes” approach to accessing all your bio markers.
Detox
We live in a toxic world and that means you probably have some amount of toxic junk we can help you eliminate from your environment and your body! In fact, there are reports of more than 200 toxins in the cord blood of newborns these days, so suffice it to say, everyone is carrying a toxic load. We will recommend a general detoxification strategy for you right away. We’ll focus on the gut, liver, kidneys and lymphatic system. Once your lab results come in, we’ll use the data to tailor the detox right for you and identify what is causing unnecessary stress on your organs.
Replenish
Once the Discover Lab results are obtained, we begin a very targeted and individualized plan to replenish your vital cofactors that heal the body. The order we see as critical for testing and replenishing is:
#1 Micronutrients: These are the “brick and mortar” building blocks of the entire body. These include B vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and anti oxidants. There are over 30 different nutrients vital to the body. Some, such as zinc, are responsible for activating over 200 enzymes in the body. So clearly, whatever you are struggling with, ensuring you have the vital body building blocks to repair and restore is important.
#2 Organ Systems such as the Liver and Kidneys: The health of your red blood cells and immune white blood cells. Looking at your glucose and cholesterol are also important.
#3. Hormones: AT bloom, we assess thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormones in men and women. We describe hormones as the messengers of the body. They are what direct the nutrients building blocks in how to combine to make and regenerate various vital tissues in the body such as collagen in our skin, bones, and blood vessels.
Repattern
Once we have identified your health goals and utilized the lab work to identify root causes, now we assign a repattern process as part of your health plan. This can be the most difficult part of the process for some clients, as we will be asking you to change your diet, your lifestyle, and day to day choices.
Nourish
This is where we run your tests again to see how much progress you’ve made towards “ideal numbers.” You will have a great sense of satisfaction knowing that you’re not only feeling and looking better, but your tests will likely reveal much better numbers that will give you the confidence to know you’re on track and where to focus next or maintain.
