The core of Dr. Hackett’s treatment philosophy is that the body is an open system of open systems. Our bodies’ systems are tightly integrated through a profoundly complex network of signaling systems that relate through biochemical and bioelectrical interactions that can be stimulated to shift toward better homeostasis.
Better fuel (nutrition and water), the right types of building blocks (herbs and supplements), and the correct stimulation (acupuncture and NIR) can help restore, revitalize, and bring the body into a better homeostasis or the “Zhong” or The Center Pivot in Chinese Medicine. No matter what shape you think you are in, your body has evolved for and has the biological imperative for survival. Give it what it needs to achieve a better homeostasis.
Your lab work, medical reports, and detailed health history are all integral to understanding how best to encourage your body’s systems to work better and integrate better together. The more information the better. As Dr. Hackett likes to say, “there are no ‘complaints’ here, it’s all data collection”.
