Peaks of Health Metabolic Medical Center is all about you. ­This center was established to address the underlying cause of a disease. ­ Instead of just treating the symptoms, we strive to find the root of the disease process such as diabetes or hypertension. ­When we find the underlying cause, then we can treat the cause and correct the problem, instead of just putting a band-aid on it. ­ Here at the Peaks of Health our goal is to get you to reach your peak - this includes making sure your body is running at optimal efficiency. ­We address diet and nutrition, which is essential to get the key ingredients our bodies need to function. ­Hormones are the signals that tell our body how to function. ­This is sort of the recipe of life - without the key ingredients and the proper recipe you cannot have a good outcome. ­We also address the intestinal system and look for proper digestion; without this you would not absorb any of the key nutrients necessary for a healthy lifestyle. ­Since the body does not function with one part at a time, we need to look at the entire system and all of the different connections to unravel the problems and discover what part or parts are no longer functioning properly.
