The traditional medical model is used for those who desire the pharmacological approach to care. Alternative Care and other treatment modalities are provided to those patients choosing these approaches. As a nurse practitioner I am able to diagnose, treat, prescribe, order diagnostic testing and blood work to cure acute conditions and help manage chronic conditions with different types of illness/ diseases. Obesity can cause many chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, muscular problems, depression, low self esteem. In my practice I specialize in weight loss. Patients are able to lose weight and inches. It has been a very successful program and has known to add years of quality to one's life. Addressing this issue promotes wellness. It prevents disease and is a journey of transformation. Lives are changed lifestyles are modified and a new change in lifestyle occurs. A person is treated holistically and the mental, physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of the individual are addressed.
