Whole Medicine Treats the Whole Person
Dr. Harding uses an integrated body systems approach to identify and address the underlying causes of chronic disease and difficult to treat symptoms. She works as a medical detective to uncover the factors that impact health and sets patients on a healing path.
What that means is she starts at the beginning. Together you explore your health timeline from the moment you were born (or before) and work through your life experiences and illnesses to determine all of the factors that have impacted your health.
Disease happens on a spectrum. You don’t one day suddenly have a chronic disease out of the blue (though it can feel that way). Instead, the body has been dealing with small changes and imbalances for years that finally culminate in a set of symptoms that can no longer be ignored.
In conventional medicine this is often where a diagnosis is made and medication is given. Nothing is done to change what caused the condition in the first place. But Dr. Harding uses the principals of Functional Medicine to really understand what started the process so interventions can address the root causes of the problem.
