Using a functional medicine approach and state of the art labs, we help patients struggling with acne and other skin concerns by creating a personalized treatment plan that works!
A natural skin care program that gets real results.
AN INSIDE-OUT APPROACH
Have you ever heard the phrase healthy skin starts within? The ingredients that you put in your body matter as much as, if not more than, the cleansers and cosmetics that you apply topically.
Dr. Liz Orchard, founder of Be Well Natural Medicine, created a holistic skin care program to help patients struggling with acne find a combination of diet and supplements that work well with the whole body. The result? Healthier skin that glows…naturally. As well as upgraded health overall!
A GENTLE APPROACH THAT GETS TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM
Our patients enjoy truly healed skin because we take a thorough, multi-pronged approach. In addition to advanced functional lab testing, we are experts at treating a wide array of hormonal and digestive disorders to help patients identify and correct key underlying issues that may be causing skin inflammation and acne.
“Dr. Liz was great with my daughters and provided a care plan that makes sense and we are already seeing results. Very pleased!!”
How It Works:
1 // Skin and Health Assessment:
The process typically starts with a thorough history and evaluation of your skin health and overall health (past and present), as well as discussion about current diet, skin care regimen and the medications and supplements you've already tried.
2 // Lab Testing:
Your doctor will discuss whether or not she recommends any lab testing* to better understand the cause(s) of your skin concerns.
3 // Your Skin Care Plan:
The doctor will work with you to create a Skin Care Plan unique to your body. Your plan will include nutritional recommendations and instructions about which natural medicines might be the most beneficial for your skin and body type. The doctor may also provide insights about your topical skin care regimen and/or make a referral to one of a few select holistic-minded estheticians in the area for expert topical advice and treatments to compliment the internal work we do at Be Well.
4 // Follow Up Care:
Follow-up visits are typically every 4 to 8 weeks until your new and healthier complexion has reached the surface. During these visits your doctor will to monitor your progress, review any newly completed labs, and determine if any changes to your Skin Care Plan are needed for optimal results.
COMMON LAB TESTS WE MAY RECOMMEND:
* Food intolerance testing: to help determine the ideal diet for your skin. This test looks for specific foods that might be triggering inflammation and breakouts.
* Hormone testing: to look for excess or deficiency of key hormones, such as testosterone and DHEA, that can make your skin more susceptible to breakouts or cystic acne.
* Stool testing: to assess overall digestive function and reveal any gastrointestinal imbalances that may be contributing to problem skin, such as intestinal permeability (aka “leaky gut”), parasitic infection, yeast/candida overgrowth, lack of adequate healthy flora and more.
