Many of the chronic health problems affecting people today are the result of poor diet and lifestyle choices. The foods a person chooses to eat can affect health negatively and lead to the development of illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, digestive problems, and obesity. Lifestyle choices, which include stressful jobs, use of alcohol/drugs, lack of exercise, isolation, etc can lead to the development of addiction, chronic fatigue, greater susceptibility to diseases, etc. Dr. Anderson helps patients assess their diet and lifestyle choices, then makes suggestions regarding potential changes. Patients are supported and counseled through the process.

Our earth environment is no longer pristine after years of toxic pollution. These toxic exposures can lead to acute and chronic illness which must be diagnosed and treated before health can return.
Environment is both internal and external. Sources of toxic exposure include the food we eat, air we breathe, water we drink, medications we take. Our daily environment may also be conducive to increasing toxicity due to: noise, harsh lighting, stress, electronic machine fumes, and non-ergonimic work areas to name a few. Individuals can be affected by one or both environments. Diagnostic tests can be performed at the clinic to determine a patient’s toxic load, and then a customized treatment plan will be designed for detoxification.
