Who typically uses A Well Balanced Body’s services  and products ?

A Well-Balanced Body works with anyone, male or female, who wishes to make lifestyle changes that will further improve and/or optimize their health and well-being. You may also need to support these changes through the use of recommended whole-food supplements, digestive enzymes, homeopathics, and/or herbal adaptogens.

A Well-Balanced Body also regularly works with clients who are suffering from chronic symptoms, the source of which cannot be identified through routine labs tests. The results of their tests often show levels within normal range yet their symptoms persist. A Well-Balanced Body focuses on working in cooperation with your Medical Doctor (M.D.) or primary healthcare provider to help you achieve optimal wellness. Our emphasis is on prevention of disease and patient education.

What can I expect to occur at my first consultation?

Once you have made an appointment for your first consultation, you will be asked to complete and bring with you a detailed health history, including a list of all medications and supplements you are currently taking. During the consultation, you will discuss your health priorities and the direction of your treatment will be determined. You will leave the appointment with a Symptom Survey Form and a two-week diet diary, both of which you will complete and mail back to the office. Once we receive these forms, we will contact you to schedule a follow up appointment.

In working with A Well-Balanced Body, you will be expected to participate in your health care. This could include significant lifestyle changes. A Well-Balanced Body often recommends clients begin their journey towards better health with detoxification, namely the Purification Program (developed by Standard Process ). Following that, a diet tailored especially to your needs– your personalized Diet Design – may be created for you. Regular, appropriate exercise may also be encouraged.

What if I am unable to attend an in-office visit or live outside of the area that A Well Balanced Body services?

If you are unable to attend in-office visits due to, for instance, distance or your work and family schedule, A Well-Balanced Body may agree to work with you remotely if appropriate. If you are interested in this option, you should first contact us  by calling the office. You will then fill out the Symptom Survey Form  online. Once the Symptom Survey Form has been completed and it has been reviewed, a 15-30 minute phone consultation will be scheduled. During this call you will discuss your health goals and prioritize the treatments and supplements that will be most beneficial for you. The next steps for following up on your progress will then be discussed and agreed upon.

What types of testing does A Well Balanced Body utilize? When and why are they prescribed?

In addition to the Symptom Survey  Form, Dr. Meri Warbrick may suggest one or more types of testing that will help her better assess the current state of your health and inform the direction that she will ultimately suggest you take. In most cases, the next crucial step will be a Hair Analysis . This test highlights the source of many symptoms the client noted on their Symptom Survey Form , and for that reason, this is often the most cost-effective way to establish whether further testing is warranted; and if so, in which direction it should be focused.

A Well-Balanced Body also uses Saliva Testing for a wide-variety of symptoms. This may be necessary when the Hair Analysis  reveals, for example, the client has heavy metal toxicity; complex digestive issues, such as gluten intolerance; estrogen dominance, or other hormone imbalances.

Additionally, A Well-Balanced Body offers Digital Thermal Imaging, also known as Thermography. In recent years Dr. Meri Warbrick has become a passionate champion for better, more accessible breast health, and has found that Thermography offers some interesting advantages in this area.
