Regenerative Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine ~ Where Wellness Begins From Within
Restoring balance through hormone therapy, personalized weight loss and restorative supplementation designed to bring your body back into balance.
What is Functional medicine?
Functional Medicine is a personalized, science-based approach to healthcare that goes beyond treating symptoms — it seeks to identify and address the underlying root causes of illness and imbalance within the body.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol, functional medicine looks at the whole person — your genetics, lifestyle, environment, nutrition, hormones, toxins and stress — to understand why your body isn't functioning optimally and create a targeted plan to restore true balance and vitality.
At Nura Integrative Health, we believe that lasting wellness is achieved when the body, mind, and spirit are treated as one interconnected system — and that is exactly the foundation every care plan we build is rooted in.
The medical industry is trained to treat disease once it has occurred (reactive), rather than to help prevent the process before it starts (prevention).
Inflammatory processes start breaking down our pathways, depleting our enzymes and aging ourselves from the inside out and we only realize the ailments once they have been present for quite sometime.
At Nura Integrative Health, our goal is to prevent those diseases from ever developing in the first place.

FAQs
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
Balancing nutrient deficiencies is essential to supporting your overall health, energy, and hormone regulation.
Vitamins and supplements can play a critical role in rebalancing the body, and restoring optimal levels of nutrients, enzymes, and neurotransmitters that keep your systems functioning at their best.
The food choices available to most of us today often lack the nutritional density our bodies need. That’s why targeted supplementation is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessary part of comprehensive wellness.

Hormones that are identical in molecular structure to the hormones we make in our bodies. They are not found in this form in nature but are made, or synthesized, from a plant chemically extracted from yams and soy.
Bioidentical estrogens are 17 beta-estradiol, estrone, and estriol. Bioidentical progesterone is simply progesterone. It's micronized (finely ground) in the laboratory for better absorption in the body.
Bioidentical hormone therapy is often called "natural hormone therapy" because bioidentical hormones act in the body just like the hormones we produce.

At age 25, the HGH level in our body is around 600ug. by age 60, the amount can gradually decline to 15%, or 90ug. When HGH decreases, our bodies age faster.
Most hormones, like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone significantly decline as you age as well. If laboratory evaluation indicates a growth hormone deficiency, replacement may be indicated.

Red light therapy is a form of phototherapy that uses light to promote certain biological effects. With a wavelength that measures between 620 nm and 700 nm, red light can penetrate the skin deeply.
Red light stimulates the mitochondria in our cells to make more energy and help promote increased cell turnover as well as targets fibroblasts, the cells that are responsible for collagen production, helping the skin make more of this essential skin-plumping protein.
With red light, you may be able to help with or aid visible signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, loss of skin’s resilience, skin’s firmness, and fullness as well as uneven skin tone and texture.
The technology behind our Mito-Red devices is different from others because it also has a next level of light therapy that is referred to as near-infrared or NIR light therapy which can penetrate deeper into the body, through the skin to the muscle and bone.
NIR light therapy may be able to help with muscle pain, soreness, joint issues and stiffness, hair growth, mood and cognitive health, sleep quality, athletic performance, and muscle recovery.

TA-65® is a telomerase activator supplement derived from a natural compound found in the Astragalus membranaceus plant, commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. It’s marketed as an anti-aging supplement designed to support cellular health, longevity, and immune function.
Telomeres are structures at the ends of chromosomes that shorten during cell division and during the aging process. To delay this cellular aging, human T cells activate the enzyme telomerase, which binds and extends the telomeres.TA-65 increases telomerase activity, activates the telomerase pathway and increases proliferation. TA-65 helps keep cells functioning in a normal and healthy pattern.
