programs
At Body of Knowledge Healing Arts your longterm health goals are important to us. We are confident we have a program for you no matter what stage of life you’re in or what your health concerns may be. Please explore the list below or inquire with us about your program.
the roots of health™
Our initial program for all new patients. Begin to explore the foundations of health through dietary and lifestyle changes designed to optimize health. Learn how to “nourish the roots” with everything they need to produce a “strong healthy tree”. This program seeks to remove obstacles to health, while strengthening and nurturing the body’s organ systems, and bringing you back towards a state of balance.
seasonal detoxification and prevention™
The next phase of treatment looks at boosting the body’s detoxification systems, and offers preventative measures appropriate to the season. Traditional Chinese Medicine shows an association between each season and particular organ systems. This guideline, along with common seasonal concerns, is used to create an individualized treatment plan. This program may be used concurrently or consecutively with the roots of health.
lifelong wellness™
Our health is a dynamic, changing thing. We at Body of Knowledge Healing Arts, seek to establish a lifelong relationship with our patients, to address their changing needs. This program is for the patient who is graduating from the roots of health program. Let us guide you from a now balanced state, to a state of optimum health; addressing spiritual, physical and mental aspects of health. A model of prevention is emphasized.
preconception couples counselling™
The ideal time to attend to your child’s health is prior to conception! So many aspects of our children’s health are determined at the moment of conception and during embryological development. If both parents work towards optimizing their own health prior to conception, they can have a dramatic impact on the genetic information they are passing on, and on the intrauterine environment during pregnancy. A six to twelve month period of treatment is recommended prior to conception.
optimize your weight™
Whether you are struggling to shed some pounds, or to bulk up your frame, we have solutions! Forget about gimmicks and fad diets. Let us guide you in making healthy dietary choices, optimizing nutritional value while helping you to attain your goals. We will create a personalized program for you, and provide the necessary tools to support you. Attaining and maintaining a healthy body weight reduces your risk for almost every major disease or condition.
heart smarts™
Do you suffer from circulatory problems, chest pain, elevated blood pressure, or elevated cholesterol? Are you overweight, postmenopausal, over 50 years of age, or do you have a family history of heart disease? If you answered “yes” or “I’m not sure” to any of the above, this program is for you! Let us conduct an assessment of your cardiovascular health complete with medical and family history, labwork and physical exam. We will advise you as to your 10-year risk for developing heart disease, and show you how to decrease this risk and treat any current cardiovascular concerns.
smoking cessation support™
Whether you are ready to quit or are gearing up, let us guide and support you through the process. Along with maintaining an ideal weight, quitting smoking is one of the most significant positive impacts you can have on your health. Together we will decide on a quit date and take the necessary steps to move towards your goal. Supportive therapies will be offered along with dietary and lifestyle recommendations.
breathe easy™
Do you suffer from allergies, asthma or chronic sinusitis and nasal congestion? Our ability to breathe is fundamental to our health, and acts as an important system of elimination and detoxification. Deepening our breath relaxes us, and increases oxygenation of all the cells of the body - including the brain. Let us help you eliminate these symptoms while strengthening the underlying systems involved in these processes
