Welcome to Triad of Health

Success with patient care is accomplished by holistically understanding how the body functions and understanding the TRIAD OF HEALTH: chemical, structural and emotional. The triad of health was initially described by D.D. Palmer (the founder of chiropractic) and then later described in great detail by Dr. George Goodheart, the founder of Applied Kinesiology. Dr. Goodheart is 85 years old today and still practices in Detroit, Michigan at the time that this web site is being written. Dr. Goodheart developed the most amazing scientific system of healthcare in the world today: Applied Kinesiology. Applied Kinesiology is now used by numerous healthcare professions in nearly every industrialized nation. Applied Kinesiology takes into account not just the patient’s musculoskeletal system (structure), but also their diet (biochemistry) and emotional state. Other important health risks which are considered by Applied Kinesiologists are environmental toxins and pollutants.

Each side of the triad of health affects the other two sides. Therefore, to take a magnifying glass and focus on one side only will never get resolution to a chronic health concern. This is why many people never seem to lose weight and keep the weight off when they go on a diet. This is also why many people never seem to get better after having seen a psychiatrist for many years. This is also why so many people often suffer years later after fracturing a bone or having a surgery. The reason why these things happen is because each of these professions only look at one side of the triad of health: orthopedic surgery – structure, psychiatry – emotions, and nutritionists/dietitions – nutrition. These professions never even stop to consider their colleagues in neighboring professions. Only in recent years has psychoneuroimmunology and similar fields come about which explore the roles, goals and results of not just their own profession but neighboring professions. Applied Kinesiology and chiropractic is light years ahead of its time in this respect. Applied Kinesiology utilizes the concept of consiliance – the coming together of knowledge as described by Edward O. Wilson.

Hello Dr. Skolnikoff.

The diet change, adjustments & nutrients for the last 3 months have made a huge difference. I felt miserable before receiving your treatment, the painful aches, lack of energy & sleep were a part of my everyday life for 17 years are now gone! after just 4 appointments with you! No other Dr. has been able to get to the root of my problems & make the aches & pains stop. I look at the dairy, grains & sugar that are not on my diet list & think nothing tastes as good as being pain free & having plenty of energy feels great.

Thank you for all your help!

One Saturday afternoon at a local farmer’s market, while shopping for organic produce, I stumbled upon Dr. Ilya Skolnikoff. Sometimes the best things come to you when you aren’t looking for them, or, in loftier words, when the student is ready, the teacher will come! Dr. Ilya spoke to me about addressing the roots of imbalances in the body and fixing them at the core, thereby guiding one's body back to a state of balance. What he said resonated with me and piqued my interest, so I took the leap and scheduled my first appointment. From that day forward, with his skilled guidance and my own determination to follow his recommendations, my health issues have continued to significantly improve.

As a 50-something woman, my body was waving several warning flags at me, and I knew I needed help from someone who could take a holistic view of my symptoms and offer real, lasting, and measureable results. Dr. Ilya’s “triad” approach has been much more effective than any I previously have experienced. Turning to Dr. Ilya as my "health coach" has turned out to be one of the best investments of my life. I feel that he provides me a doable roadmap so that my body can regain functionality to naturally heal itself. I've recommended him to my friends as a caring, knowledgeable and dedicated health practitioner, and would do so to anyone seeking a healthier and more vibrant life.

“I was refered to Dr. Ilea Skolnikoff by a friend and at the time had no idea what Applied Kinesiology was all about. Upon some research and some in depth discussion with Dr. Skolnikoff I decided that it sounded very interesting so I gave it a try. I have to
say it was a wonderful and enlightening experience. I was shown a whole new way to look at how my body works and how the foods I put into my body can effect my health and energy levels. During one of my visits Dr. Skolnikoff asked me if I had any aches or pains anywhere in my body. I mentioned that I had had a pain in my shoulder blade for over 2 years and had gone to my doctor and tried a number of massage therapists, the doctor said nothing was wrong, and the Massage therapists seemed to make it better for about a week or two, but the pain kept coming back. Dr Skolnikoff asked if he could give it a shot, I told him nothing has worked but he was insistant, so I decided it would not hurt for him to give it a shot. Well I am ecstatic and happy to say that it’s been over 3 months, and it has all healed permanently! So, thank you so much!!!

“As a new mother of two little girls I thought my tiredness was normal, not only did I suffer
from new allergies but depression as well. I didn’t want to take synthetic prescriptions, I wanted to feel good again. After the first session with Dr. Skolnikoff I not only felt better I changed for the better. His personal care over my well-being was professional and friendly I highly recommend him as your personal guru to health and well-being.”

Dear Dr. Ilya Skolnikoff,

Where do I even start? Thank you so very much for everything that you have done for me. I came to you for knee pain, shoulder pain as well as forearm pain. Not to mention needing help in losing weight. You not only helped me lose weight but my knee, shoulder and forearm pain has resided. I have lost 15 pounds in the last few months and I feel the best I have felt in the last ten years. I have abundant energy. I used to come home from a hard day at work and then be so tired. Now, after a hard day at work, I go to the gym and then come home and have more energy than I know what to do with. I would recommend your services to anyone that wishes to improve their life. I believe in you one hundred percent. During my visits to your office I felt very comfortable. Even though I am relocating to a different state, I will continue to practice what you have taught me. Bolshoie Spasibo.

Sincerely,

Charisse Richards (Larkspur, CA)
