Hoyt Integrative Health

The increasing number of people suffering from complex, chronic disorders such as diabetes, cardiovascular compromise, mental conditions, thyroid, autoimmune dysfunction like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and chronic bowel disorders have led to a call for a healthcare revolution. The current healthcare model's acute-care approach is ill-equipped to address these chronic conditions, and the practice of prescribing numerous medications to treat symptoms only leads to more complications and drug interactions while the overall health of the patient declines. The allopathic model focuses on disease once it is fully expressed, neglecting prevention or early warnings indicated by functional lab ranges. Moreover, insurance-driven healthcare models do not take into account the unique genetic makeup of each individual or environmental factors such as stress, diet, deficiencies, and exposure to toxins. Consequently, most physicians do not have the time to assess the underlying causes of complex, chronic disease adequately. However, functional medicine is a different approach designed to address these pitfalls, with methodology and tools to detect the root cause and support these illnesses naturally.

The approach of functional medicine involves customized healthcare for chronic conditions, focusing on the whole patient rather than individual symptoms. The goal is to detect the underlying cause and reverse chronic dysfunction, rather than manage it with ongoing prescriptions. Recent technological advances in nontraditional diagnostic testing allow for the detection of tissue damage in organs years before disease would manifest, providing a grand vision of all the systems of the body and a window into chronic conditions. These breakthrough diagnostic tests are overlooked and underutilized in the traditional healthcare model that inherently focuses on disease once organ dysfunction or pathology is fully expressed.

Hoyt Integrative Health's efforts center on discovering and resolving underlying causes rather than band-aiding symptoms. The process begins with a comprehensive discovery, achieved through an online questionnaire and collection of medical records, previous lab results, imaging, and diagnosis. Software algorithms triage and prioritize potential triggers and provide recommendations for testing. Testing is thorough and ranges from hormone, stool, saliva, blood, urine, hair analysis, food allergy, immune system, heavy metal, mold, lyme, genetics, chemical toxicity testing, etc. The opposite practice model would consist of a one-size-fits-all healthcare approach, identifying a diagnosis, followed by a cookie-cutter prescription for managing each symptom. This approach is efficient for doctors, insurance companies, and pharmaceuticals but not effective for patients wanting to recover from chronic disease. It can lead to a lifetime of medications, many of which have their complications and are designed to manage conditions rather than resolving them.

At Hoyt Integrative Health, the aim is to reverse dysfunction wherever possible by finding the triggers, deficiencies, or hidden causes to remove the offenders, target the causes, and support the body's natural healing mechanisms. No two clients are ever the same and must be advised uniquely to achieve great outcomes. The process is not for everyone, and many patients are content with their medications or are new to their condition and have not yet felt a need to go to greater measures, which may include nutritional and lifestyle changes. However, if a patient has suffered to the point of frustration, lost hope, energy, vitality, sleep, physical well-being, and feels like their list of medications is growing while their health continues to decline, they are in the right place. Hoyt Integrative Health accepts serious but motivated patients. The slogan is REAL HEALTH RESTORED, and the process aims to provide comprehensive, personalized care to detect the underlying cause and reverse chronic dysfunction.
