Are you constantly getting sick?
Do you feel as though you’re frequently dealing with a cold or feel run down often?
It is important to identify the causes of your frequent sickness and treat them effectively. We have highlighted some common reasons why you may keep getting sick and explain what to do about them…
Stress
Stress is a part of everyday life for most people. However, if chronic stress persists over time, it can adversely affect your health. Chronic stress can lead to…
headaches
irritability
fatigue
attention problems
difficulty sleeping
digestive issues
rapid, disorganized thoughts
frequent infections and illness
Dealing with chronic stress involves identifying and tackling the leading causes of stress, which can be challenging and may require significant life changes.
Sleep
The importance of sleep and the critical role it plays in contributing to your health is often overlooked. The body uses its time asleep to recover and rest, preparing you for the next day. Not getting enough sleep can disrupt this process and have consequences for the next day and ultimately lead to greater issues in the future. Chronic sleep deprivation can have serious consequences and often can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease along with dramatically weakening your immune system.
Immune Disorders
When your immune system is not functioning correctly, getting sick regularly is a common occurrence. The reason for this is that the body is unable to fight off germs, such as bacteria and viruses, properly.
Once an infection is contracted, it often takes a lot longer to recover when you are also managing a weakened immune system. It is also common to contract more than one illness, often leading to a perpetual state of feeling unwell.
Identifying the root cause(s) of the immune system disorder is critical, we don’t simply treat the symptoms – we uncover the cause of the symptoms.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders affect one in four Americans, that is a staggering number. Anxiety disorders can affect the body in several ways that may contribute to recurring sickness. For example, anxiety disorders can cause…
fatigue
muscle tension
difficulty concentrating
sweating heart palpitations, or rapid heartbeat
trembling
shortness of breath
irritability
Over extended periods, an anxiety disorder can also lead to physical health complications. For example, people with anxiety disorders have a higher risk* of heart disease and early death.

Nutrition
What we eat and how it impacts our bodies and well-being is an incredibly individual experience. Often what we consume and put into our bodies can be directly linked to signs of inflammation, disease, and poor health. Understanding how the food we eat contributes to our health can sometimes be a daunting task to uncover, particularly with the overwhelming amount of ‘experts’ we are exposed to that offer gimmicks and taglines to lose weight, but never really addressing all the other symptoms you may be experiencing. We take a systematic and scientific approach to uncover what foods your body responds well to and which your body rejects.
