For over 40 years, I have passionately explored what was called Alternative Healthcare, then Complimentary, Integrative Healthcare and finally Functional Healthcare.
Today more than 100,000 practitioners, clinicians and doctors participate in a new paradigm of health and wellness. Dramatic breakthroughs in neuro-science and energy research have provided us the power to circumvent age-related degenerative conditions and illness. The following paragraphs contain some of the most important understandings about the human condition.
“Dis-ease”, in a functional healthcare sense, is actually an imbalance in one or more of the body’s core physiological processes. At Snelling Total Wellness, we identify them as the 6 Steps of Wellness:
1.Structural integration
2. Detoxification
3.Electromagnetic empowerment 4.Environment and allergy desensitization 5.Nutritional restoration
6.Emotional patterns and limiting belief systems
Holistic doctors are challenged to diagnose the ‘interferences’ that prevent these processes from working efficiently. We know an event in one system can affect something else in another system; we even know that an improvement in one system may assist improvement in other systems.
Functional healthcare practitioners, like myself, are always looking for imbalances or distortions that, once restored or improved, result in symptom alleviation, an overall sense of well being and movement away from a chronic condition or diagnosis.
Effective healthcare practitioners treat the person who enters their office, not the ‘named’ (or unnamed) condition or disease. Whether the diagnosis/condition is Type 2 Diabetes, Autoimmune Disorders, Arthritis, High Blood Pressure or Menopause, NO TWO PATIENTS ARE ALIKE! All of these conditions are, from a functional perspective, dysfunctions of each individual’s physiological and metabolic function; they are due to a variety of causes and they demand treatment approaches as different from one another as are the individuals.
There is a popular myth
in our culture that chronic disease is unavoidable
and simply a consequence
of aging – the longer we
live, the more chronic conditions we’ll have to endure!

Allergies/Sensitivities
This is simply not true. Chronological ages boils down to something called ‘organ reserve’. It’s the biological shelf life of each organ in the body. Depending upon how much we have ‘used up’ the organ - say due to trauma, injury, stress, poor lifestyle choices or infection – we lose organ reserves and are able to draw upon them less and less as we age.
At Snelling Total Wellness, we ‘tap’ into the body’s wisdom, through use of muscle testing protocols and specialized instrumentation, to detect these interferences and re-balance them as the body’s wisdom dictates. We can identify and recommend targeted nutraceuticals that can restore and optimize organ reserves- heart, brain, liver, kidneys, digestive, etc. Our state-of-the–art functional labs include blood, salivary, urine, hair, and genetic, and cellular inflammation testing, as needed. What we CAN’T do to make our patients well, is take their supplements for them daily, eat properly and exercise!
Being healthy is an ACTIVE process and something that you must do daily. We invite you to spend a complimentary one- hour visit with us to learn how this is done.
The visit includes:
• Accurate muscle testing for muscle weakness and structural imbalance
• Max Health Scan for vitamin and mineral deficiencies, organ dysfunction, food sensitivities, heavy metal toxicity
• Homeopathic remedies
• Laser therapy for pain and fatigue
Discover how to take charge of your wellness. Call and schedule your visit today.
