K2 Holistic Health (k2holistichealth.com) was founded to help people reclaim their health.  We are a clinic that brings the very best from the worlds of functional medicine, physical therapy, and chiropractic care, with a bonus specialty in hormone/peptides, yet we integrate all of these departments together into one team that collaborates together.  The two K’s in our name represent Kinetics (movement) and Kinesthetics (the neurology behind the movement), as these two concepts are paramount in helping our patients to be healthy.  The name K2 and our logo provides the imagery of the K2 mountain, which is one of earth’s highest and most challenging, as it is our goal to help our patients climb their mountains, whether they are literal, or any other physical challenge that person is facing.

Consider that our medical system is broken.  Medical practices today are based on pharmaceutical treatments.  Orthopedic issues like a bad back, bad hips, or bad knees, are treated with hydrocortisone until you are told you need surgery.  However, hydrocortisone is a steroid and it works by weakening the immune system: so while you do get less inflammation, less pressure, and less pain for 6 months until it wears off, however you also compromise the immune system to that joint, which causes thinning skin, muscle atrophy, and decreases the whole joint’s health.  This means the more hydrocortisone injections you do, the closer to surgery you get.  Meanwhile, neuropathy issues are treated with Gabapentin or Lyrica.  These medications don’t reverse or even halt the progression of neuropathy: they merely dull the nerve’s senses so you don’t feel what the nerve is feeling while the neuropathy continues to worsen, until you need higher doses of the medication again.  Lastly, hormone issues are often misunderstood, or left completely out of evaluations and treatment plans.  All three of these approaches are broken, and there is a better way!

At K2 Holistic Health, we help our patients reclaim their health.  Rather than depending on various pharmaceuticals to manage a symptom, let’s address the problem’s source.  Our three departments work together to restore your body’s orthopedic and neurology concerns.  That integration of medical care, physical therapy, and chiropractic care, brings about our patient’s best results.  We are driven to help our patients restore their movement and sensations, and to regain their health and wellness.

We also discuss this fundamental understanding of wellness to our patients: that our diets, injuries, and aging, all lead to the following pathological process… systemic inflammation in our bodies, which leads to insulin resistance, which leads to mitochondrial dysfunction.

This very process is what leads to most of our chronic illnesses, like diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and even cancers.  We discuss that peptides are natural compounds found in your body, and we can use peptides to actually correct the underlying physiology.  Our three very favorite peptides address each one of those three steps in that pathological breakdown, and by doing so we can help you reset your metabolism, to help you have more energy, lose unwanted pounds, and to feel healthier.
