Functional & Holistic Health Services in Marietta, Georgia
At Alternative Health Atlanta, we offer personalized functional and holistic health services in Marietta, Georgia, including health evaluations, laboratory testing, clinical nutrition, acupressure, and diet and lifestyle coaching.
We begin by listening to your concerns and evaluating whether our approach is a good fit for your needs.
Our Services
Functional Health Evaluation
Your first visit is an opportunity to discuss your health concerns, history, and goals. We gather information and conduct an evaluation to guide our recommendations and determine whether our services are appropriate for you.
A follow-up consultation gives you time to review our findings, ask questions, and understand the proposed next steps.
Functional Laboratory Testing
When appropriate, laboratory testing provides additional information to help guide your program. We explain the recommended tests, review the results with you, and discuss how those findings inform your nutrition and lifestyle recommendations.
Clinical Nutrition
A core element of all our programs is Clinical Nutrition. We match specific supplements to your body by testing your nervous system with Muscle Response Testing. We then re-test you at intervals and adjust your supplements as your body requires.
The information we gain from Muscle Response Testing gives the doctor insight into how your body responds to specific stresses and the remedies to those stresses.
Acupressure
Our technique uses a low-power laser instead of needles to stimulate acupuncture points. We utilize two proprietary Acupressure treatments:
Systems Desensitization Technique (SDT): When a patient has had gut issues for some time, their body can become sensitive to many common foods. If we recommend this technique, we’ll explain its intended goals, our clinical experience, and the available evidence and limitations.
Systems Balancing Technique (SBT): Environmental toxins often interfere with the hormone system. If we recommend this technique, we’ll explain its intended goals, our clinical experience, and the available evidence and limitations.
Personalized Health Programs
Your recommendations are tailored to your concerns, evaluation and nervous system testing, and goals. A program may combine nutrition counseling, testing, functional labs, acupressure, and diet and lifestyle coaching.
As you progress, we review your experience and adjust recommendations when appropriate.
You’ll receive guidance throughout your program, with opportunities to ask questions, discuss challenges, and review your progress. We work with you to make the recommendations understandable and manageable.
Diet & Lifestyle Coaching
Making changes is easier with practical guidance. We help you work toward manageable food and lifestyle habits that fit your daily routine.
Our philosophy is to recommend changes that serve your goals while keeping your daily routine manageable. We explain the purpose of each recommendation and help you put it into practice without unnecessary complexity.
