Additional Information Self Care is at the Heart of Life-long Health and Healing Dr. Deanna Cherrone,
founder of Natural Health & Healing, is a board certified Internal
Medicine physician who has changed the focus of her practice from traditional
Internal Medicine to Functional Medicine. “At Natural Health and Healing,
I work with patients to determine their health care goals. Emphasis is
placed on self care, what that means to each individual, and how best to
achieve optimal health.” — Deanna Cherrone, M.D.
True Health is not just the Absence of Disease The ultimate health care goal is to have the best possible health and vitality with full physical, mental and emotional functioning well into old age. Termed “healthspan,” healthy aging can be achieved through preventive care, reducing or eliminating symptoms of illness and promoting health and healing. Research has shown that lean body mass is a major predictor of how long and how well you can expect to live. Working with you, Dr. Cherrone will design a treatment plan to help you achieve your ideal lean body mass, reduce your risk of chronic disease and help you extend your “healthspan.” Your Genes are not your Destiny While genetic
make-up can be an important indicator of future health, research has shown
that your genes can be influenced by your experiences, attitudes, beliefs
and environment. The food you eat, the air you breathe, the water
you drink, your level of physical activity and toxin exposure, as well
as any physical and/or emotional trauma you have experienced all contribute
to the level of your health by affecting the way your genes are expressed.
Achieving Optimal Health Lifestyle change is now recommended as “first line therapy” for treating many chronic diseases including: heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s. These illnesses, along with symptoms such as chronic pain, fatigue, stress and hormone imbalance can be effectively managed using a therapeutic lifestyle program. Using Functional Medicine testing, Dr. Cherrone can assist you in getting at the root cause of any symptoms or illnesses you may have. Getting Started The first step to achieving optimal health is to choose Dr. Cherrone as your partner on this journey. She will review your personal and medical history with you and do a complete physical examination. To help you achieve your ideal lean body mass and extend your healthspan, she will provide you with a body composition analysis. At the end of the initial visit, which is typically a minimum of two hours, Dr. Cherrone will share her recommendations with you and together, you will develop a customized treatment plan to help you achieve your healthcare goals. She will guide you through the process, monitoring your progress, providing support and encouragement along the way.
