Wonder Health and Wellbeing brings a unique perspective to chronic illness. Tara has gone through the journey of being told everything is fine, the labs look normal, maybe lose some weight... The fact of the matter is - most providers aren't looking in the right places. Looking at a basic lab panel doesn't usually give us the answers we need. Understanding comprehensive labs and chronic or complex illness is what we do. Whether it's autoimmune, gut dysfunction, mold toxicity, heavy metal toxicity, MCAS, POTS, chronic fatigue, or chronic pain - we can find the answers because we're willing to look a little deeper. We also recognize that so many of you have seen dozens of doctors, spent hours online researching, scoured Facebook groups, and have some idea about what may be wrong. You're not willing to give up on feeling well again. We love to collaborate - developing a comprehensive plan for evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment that works for you. Your treatment program will be specific to you, developed for you.
GLP-1 is a hormone peptide produced in our GI tract when everything functions optimally. However, in America, factors such as highly processed foods, overuse of antibiotics, chronic stress, fluctuating cortisol levels, and prevalent gut dysbiosis, can slow down or halt this natural GLP-1 production. These changes begin in the intestines but affect our entire body.
This reduction in GLP-1 hormone production contributes to insulin resistance, pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes, weight gain, fatigue, hormone imbalance, inflammation, and cellular energy starvation. Thus, losing excess weight is not merely a matter of willpower; it reflects a deficiency in your body.
To repair this process, we often adopt a multimodal approach, which includes gut health testing and healing through the 5-R approach. We may also utilize specific herbs and probiotics to help restore our natural GLP-1 production. In some cases, we use GLP-supplement therapy to help support your goals. There are specific natural supplements and botanicals that can help restore this function.
Unlike short-term weight loss solutions such as phentermine or fad diets, GLP-1 therapy addresses the biology behind overeating, cravings, and insulin resistance. This means individuals can lose weight more naturally—without feeling deprived or lacking energy.
For those preferring a more direct and simplified approach, GLP-1 injections or oral therapy can be prescribed independently. We offer monthly plans that support you throughout your weight loss journey, including an initial health evaluation with Tara, monthly check-ins, and medication. By using compounded medication, starting at a safe dose, and increasing the dose slowly as indicated, we can mitigate the risks associated with commercial GLP-1s. We can avoid the muscle wasting, "Ozempic Face," hair loss, and malnourishment through our program that involves regular check-ins and monitoring.. Please click below for more information.
There is a reason why we say, "Listen to your gut," or "What is your gut telling you?" It's not a coincidence that we get butterflies in our stomachs when we're anxious or excited. Our gut health is deeply connected to our brain and entire body, affecting our mood, immune system, hormones, brain function, energy levels, and overall well-being. It can even be the root of many health problems, making effective weight loss solutions challenging without addressing these underlying issues.
Comprehensive stool testing serves as a vital window into our insides. It identifies pathogens, overgrowth of bacteria, fungi, viruses, yeasts, parasites, and worms. The test assesses the sufficiency and balance of our good bacteria, inflammatory markers, immune function, pancreatic enzymes, allergic reactions, and even checks for blood in your stool. Not all cases of dysbiosis, leaky gut, SIBO, or candida can be treated with a generic approach; cookie-cutter programs often miss the specific dysfunction that an individual may face. By obtaining insights from a stool test, we can create a personalized and precise plan tailored specifically for you, facilitating healing. After working with numerous clients, we've discovered that no two guts are alike, and thus, require unique treatment strategies. Using the 5-R protocol, healing can be attained. This includes removing overgrown, opportunistic, or pathogenic microbes, replacing necessary enzymes or stomach acids, replenishing good bacteria, repairing any damage, and rebalancing your health and well-being. Each step is crucial! Simply taking a probiotic for gut issues skips the first two essential steps, while a focus on gut health can lead to transformative results – often in a surprising and positive way!
If you have known gut issues, food sensitivities, autoimmune disease, depression, anxiety, ADHD, inflammation, fatigue, hormone imbalance, thyroid problems, chronic pain, migraines, POTS, MCAS, or any other chronic health condition, this is the perfect starting point, especially if you're considering GLP-1 therapy as part of your weight loss solutions.
