The "Just Aging" Dismissal
Too often, doctors dismiss joint pain, fatigue, and other symptoms as inevitable aging, offering little beyond basic pain management. This oversimplified explanation ignores the complex metabolic, hormonal, and inflammatory processes that can be addressed.
Symptom-Only Approach
Conventional medicine typically treats the pain and symptoms rather than investigating why your body is creating inflammation in the first place. This band-aid approach may provide temporary relief but allows the underlying problems to worsen over time.
Medication Dependency
Medications often create a cycle of diminishing returns—requiring higher doses while damaging your gut lining and liver function, potentially worsening the very symptoms that you are trying to alleviate.
Meet Karen Bettison
Pain, fatigue, and a weakened immune response isn't just about aging. It's about inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, genetic predisposition, food sensitivities, and gut health working together. Many suffer silently, believing discomfort is inevitable. They modify activities rather than address root causes. The truth? Your body has remarkable healing potential when given the right support.
We look at your inflammation levels, hormone balance, DNA, and food intolerances to pinpoint what's fueling your symptoms.
