Susan
and Jeff Turner established their comprehensive health
clinic, Living Ayurveda, in 1998 to provide high quality,
personalized, compassionate, hands-on health care.
They understand the frustration that many people have
experienced with the impersonal, hurried healthcare
that is all too common today. Providing a safe, comfortable,
professional environment that allows and encourages
each client to actively participate in their own healthcare
is essential to creating truly good health.
We believe
that there
is no standard universal answer to any given health
issue. "Cookbook medicine" simply is not effective.
It is our belief that the optimal health solution
to whatever health issue you are experiencing is
one
that includes as
part
of the
that solution, the
acknowledgment that you are a unique human being, and
recognizes that you have a personal and unique predisposition
to health and diseases in specific areas.
We also
believe that you must be informed to make good decisions.
We take the time to get to know you and understand
your
health
concerns. With that information in hand we then we
provide a great deal of education to insure that
you are
well
informed.
We
encourage
and in fact require your active participation to insure
that your solution is both effective and a good
match for you and your busy life. The result is a positive
and holistic approach that assists you in attaining
a happier, healthier and more harmonious life, and
truly living in harmony with your own unique nature.
Today many
people are seeing the wisdom and practicality of
a more holistic and complete approach that addresses
the actual cause of disease rather than a
narrowly focused, symptom only, pharmaceutical intervention.
We take this approach and arrive at a functional
medicine solution specific to your health issues. Functional
medicine focuses on that area between optimal health
and manifested
disease.
Often
clients come in and say ”I’m not really
sick, but something is not right” and then go
on to describe a number of symptoms such as the one
listed below. It is in this area of functional health
that we have the
opportunity
to
detect imbalances early on and introduce preemptive
corrective measures to bring the body back to health
before actual disease occurs. This is the area where
we focus our work and it is quite effective.
There are two major factors that determine if disease
arises;
 our
genetic disposition. |
| the
choices we make everyday. |
Obviously
our genetic disposition is fixed, there is nothing
we can do to change this. But we do have
the opportunity to make better choices, and choices
are tremendously important. Recent research clearly
demonstrates that choices can greatly influence and
even modify our genetic code!
Our daily
choices can either reinforce or counter our genetic
tendencies, for better or worse. For example, a person
may have a family history of heart disease, or a
personal
history
of lung illness. Their daily choices will either encourage
heart issues to arise, or not, and influence whether
lung problems continue, or not. We absolutely
have a choice in determining our level of health.
How do we
make better choices? We all want better health, but
the question of how to get there can be
a quandary. This is the most often asked questions
we hear is, “Is (you fill in the blank) good?”, “Is
vitamin C good?”, “Is this diet good?”, “Is
running good?” We hear this everyday.
And of course the actual question people are asking,
Is it good for me? And the “me” in
this question is important because the answer is unique
and personal to each person. What may be good for one
person will not necessarily be appropriate for another.
So how does one know if something is specifically appropriate
for them?
Ayurveda provides the answers!
Ayurveda is a medical system originating from India that has
been in continuous practice for more than
5000 years, it provides a fresh perspective to today’s
challenging health issues. In India, Ayurveda is a
7-8 year university degreed medical program with the
same major areas of study as that our of modern medicine
schools. A significant distinction between the two
is that the focus of Ayurveda is maintaining good health.
It is preventative medicine with the emphasis on early
detection and taking action before disease occurs.
We all know
that we are each different, we are unique. We each
have a unique makeup, i.e. physical build,
mental intellect and emotional bent. This is our genetic
constitution. Common sense tells us that with all our
unique differences, our solutions to health issues
must be unique. Ayurveda provides a structure and method
to identify our unique nature, our genetic constitution.
With this information we then create health solutions
that are personally specific to you. This personal
solution addresses your specific situation plus we
include guidance and education so that through better
choices
you experience the return of vitality and achieve optimal
health. Additionally, this Ayurvedic process corrects
imbalances in the body and removes the
actual cause of disease instead of just
treating symptoms. And since the solution is your personal
solution, the only side
effects are good health!
We also
integrate modern medical diagnostic testing and Applied
Kinesiology with Ayurveda to provide a
truly comprehensive, “ancient wisdom / modern
science” solution.
