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.
The evaluation consists of a consultation and muscle response testing of your nervous system to guide our understanding of what is preventing your body from repairing itself.
A thorough follow-up consultation gives you time to review our findings, ask questions, and understand the proposed next steps.
Functional Laboratory Testing
Laboratory testing provides deep-level additional information to help guide your program. We explain the recommended tests, review the results with you, and discuss how those findings inform your treatment, nutrition and lifestyle recommendations.
Clinical Nutrition
Clinical nutrition is a core element of our personalized programs. We recommend supplements based on our clinical assessment, including muscle response testing of your nervous system and functional lab testing. We’ll explain the purpose of each recommendation, and provide guidance throughout your program.
At follow-up visits, we reassess your progress and adjust recommendations.
Acupressure
Our technique uses a low-power laser instead of needles to stimulate acupuncture points. We use two proprietary protocols:
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, your goals, and our evaluation, muscle response testing of your nervous system, and functional lab testing. 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.
What to Expect
1. Start With a Free Discovery Call
Tell us what brings you here and ask questions about our clinic. Our team can explain the evaluation process and help you decide whether to schedule a first visit.
2. Complete Your Initial Evaluation
Meet with us to discuss your health history, concerns, and goals. We’ll explain our assessment methods and discuss whether our approach is appropriate for your needs. If we recommend a program, we’ll prepare a personalized plan for you to consider.
3. Review Your Options
At a second visit, we’ll discuss our findings, recommendations, and proposed program. This includes the estimated timeframe, recommended supplements and laboratory tests, anticipated costs, and suggested diet and lifestyle changes. You’ll have time to ask questions before deciding whether to begin. If our approach isn’t a good fit, we’ll explain why and discuss referral options.
4. Receive Ongoing Guidance
If you choose to begin a program, we’ll work with you to review progress, answer questions, and help you follow the recommendations.
Our Style of Care:
Our experience has long been that giving supplements and diet guidance once a month is rarely effective enough for patients with chronic health issues. Our programs are typically designed with one to two visits per week for the crucial first six weeks of a treatment program. We would rather “cause success to happen” rather than hope.
