Harness the Healing Power of Nature

Dr. Christy Krail -Javier is a licensed and board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Doctor of Nursing Practice specializing in integrative and functional medicine. She believes the best approach to illness recovery or health optimization is to support and assist the body’s natural healing process.

Often referred to as terrain medicine, our treatments aim to build and strengthen the human form and constitution and optimize the body’s most basic biological functions.

When the human condition, aka your bodily terrain, is unrestricted, robust, and balanced, you are equipped to rid yourself of toxins and ward off diseases such as infection, cancer, or chronic inflammatory conditions.

Healing The Root Cause

Healing often involves the elimination of harmful exposures and destructive habits that weaken the body’s terrain, feed the underlying cause of disease, and serve as primary obstacles to health restoration.

Root Cause Medicine is foundational to the integrative and natural approach to care. It prioritizes the identification and removal of all environmental and behavioral factors that are contributing to an ill condition.

Elimination of harmful exposures is often a first and necessary step to healing.

Patient Education & Communication

Patient Education & Communication

Dr. Krail-Javier, DNP is committed to patient education, effective communication, and trust building as the foundation of a strong, healthy doctor-patient relationship known to enhance treatment outcomes. 

She encourages mutual participation in your plan of care and believes the practitioner’s most important role is that of teacher.

Dr. Krail-Javier recognizes that people cannot be separated from their surroundings. Nor can their health be detached from the overall impact of their lifestyle choices.

One’s state of health is a reflection of their collective experiences, relationships, culture, beliefs, values, decisions, and more which must be taken into consideration when establishing a treatment plan.

Principles of Holism & Prevention

Symptoms do not occur in isolation and therefore cannot be treated in isolation. This is a basic principle of holism. Patient care that encompasses the whole person in connection with their environment and life experiences.

While the challenges of today’s world are well acknowledged, we always recommend the proactive approach to health and wellness. 

You cannot feel prevention. On The Path to Health and Wellness, you are taught to strive for the healthiest lifestyle possible. Prevention of illness is our first line of order and remains the cornerstone of optimal health and wellbeing.

Why Choose The Path for Integrative and Functional Medicine?

Integrative medicine, sometimes referred to as functional medicine, is deep-rooted in naturopathic philosophy. It combines the best that modern medical science has to offer with the ancient wisdom of natural therapies and ancestral living practices proven to promote the health and wellness of people for centuries.

Advancements in the fields of molecular biology and epigenetics have allowed for a more scientific understanding of how these ancient practices work to produce successful patient outcomes. 

The integrative medicine approach to illness differs greatly from the conventional medicine model. This is because integrative medicine is based on the principles of holism rather than reductionism. This means that each patient is evaluated and treated as a whole biologic system, which in its entirety functions greater than the sum of its parts.

In the simplest of terms, a person cannot be broken up into parts, or reduced, and maintain their function as separate entities. In this context, disease cannot be viewed or treated as a single organ, tissue, or system failure. But, it so often is treated as such with standard medical intervention. Symptoms of disease are a manifestation of a system breakdown, but not independent of all other systems.

Disease is just the endpoint of long-standing dysfunction. Functional medicine is concerned with the process that leads to dysfunction rather than disease.

As civilization has moved further away from nature’s laws we have become increasingly and unnecessarily ill as a society. As our medical institutions have become more fractionated and focused on symptom management with toxic drugs and invasive procedures, the professionals we trust often cannot provide answers to complex disease presentations and offer limited solutions.

The good news is, there ARE alternative solutions. More importantly, you have the power to change your health and you can do it better and faster than anyone else. Doctors do not cure. Nature cures. Meaning, the doctor inside each one of us is the only true healer that can overcome disease and allow us to reach our full potential.

It is our mission in integrative practice to unleash and assist your inner doctor, rather than rely on harsh drugs or chemicals to try and sustain the appearance of health. We address the root cause of disease and use an array of therapeutic modalities from all the healing arts to restore the body’s biochemical balance and function.

We are committed to the integrative approach to care and functional medicine model of wellness and disease. As a result, the following are embedded in our programs.
