Functional Medicine
Functional medicine takes a comprehensive approach to prevention, health, and well-being; treats root causes of disease; and restores healthy function through a personalized patient experience, all while being a vital partner to conventional medicine. Dr. Aimee has always preferred trying to understand and improve chronic symptoms from the inside out, rather than just masking signs and symptoms with prescriptions.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Are you starting to have symptoms of low energy, brain fog, headaches, low sex drive, increased body fat, and/or anxiety/depression, and you suspect it might be your hormone levels? Dr. Aimee can help evaluate your hormone levels and loves working with you to help you find the best form of hormone therapy that fits your needs and your lifestyle.
Ozone Therapy – Featuring Ozone Sauna
Ozone therapy is the use of medical grade ozone, a highly reactive form of pure oxygen, to stimulate the body to heal itself by restoring cellular function. It has been and continues to be used in European clinics and hospitals for over 50 years. Ozone therapy has been used in the United States since the early 1980’s, and has been found to be useful in pain, infection, inflammation, detoxification, wound and injury healing. Our office offers steam sauna with ozone for our patients! With the help of the steam, ozone is absorbed through the pores. Ozone saunas help to stimulate blood circulation and enhances oxygen delivery, which then promotes healing processes within your body.
Weight Loss – Featuring Invisa-Red Light Laser
Dr. Aimee’s natural approach to health and wellness for all of her patients leads to weight loss as a side effect, because she dives into the root causes of weight gain. The red light laser is a great tool because it helps to stimulate fat cells to shrink. It is noninvasive, and helps with the temporary reduction of the circumference of the area being treated.
Botox
Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles. When injected, it softens fine lines and wrinkles by preventing those repetitive muscle movements—like squinting, frowning, or raising your eyebrows—that lead to creases over time. But don’t worry—when done correctly, Botox doesn’t make you look frozen, it just gives your skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
Testing
TEST, don’t guess! Comprehensive testing is key to the functional medicine approach to your health.
Genetic testing: Genetic testing is a great option for anyone wanting to learn how genetics plays into their health and wellness.
Overall wellness lab testing: Using a comprehensive wellness lab panel, Dr. Aimee will review your results with you in detail, taking into account your history, lifestyle, and needs.
Food Sensitivity Testing: Most people don’t realize that their symptoms and/or inflammatory conditions may actually be their body’s reaction to a food that they may have eaten up to 3 days prior. Let that sink in. Sometimes the best thing to do is to run a food sensitivity panel blood test, figure out the foods your body is reacting to, and eliminating them from your diet for a period of time.
Micronutrient Testing: Many health-conscious people take at least one to several supplements to optimize their health. Micronutrient testing will help you determine what supplements you are truly deficient in, so that you can make an educated decision on what supplements you want to spend your money on.
Pharmaceutical grade supplements: While it is not a requirement to use the supplements Dr. Aimee carries on her shelves; she does feel that they are the best options available.
.... I started seeing Dr. Aimee Oliver for weight loss, hormones and overall general health that she specializes in. I have lost over 40 pounds since starting with her and have felt an overall general level of happiness due to balanced hormone health. I can't recommend these two enough. They genuinely care about your wellbeing, you're not rushed and their top notch staff is so warm and welcoming. Definitely give them a call for a consult.
