Services We Offer at Triad of Health
Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of your health issues rather than simply managing symptoms. Through personalized assessments, we explore how genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factorsaffect your body.
We then create a tailored wellness plan that integrates nutrition, supplements, lifestyle changes, and targeted therapies to restore balance and optimize your health for lasting results.
This approach empowers you to understand your body and take an active role in your healing journey. It’s about long-term transformation—not temporary fixes.
Nutrition
Our modern society has jumbled its priorities. We no longer eat for nutrition or to prevent starvation. Instead, many people eat to make their bodies look cosmetically appealing or for spiritual or religious practices. Of course, eating for pleasure has also become the norm. Unfortunately, these habits go against our basic biological needs.
Many of the foods we consume today are lacking in vital nutrients essential for maintaining good health. This is due to large-scale farming practices and factory animal production. Over thousands of years, nutrient-rich soil has been washed away into the ocean. Native American tribes understood this problem—they would bury dead fish in the soil to improve fertility. Today, fish emulsion is still sold in nurseries as a powerful fertilizer for this reason.
At Triad Of Health Family Healing Center, we offer whole food nutrients from Standard Process of Palmyra, Wisconsin, along with high-quality nutraceuticals from several trusted companies. These nutritional therapies are a vital part of the Skolnikoff Method, providing the building blocks your body needs to restore and maintain vibrant health.
Blood Sugar Balancing
Blood sugar imbalances can lead to a variety of health concerns, including fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and hormonal disruptions. Our Blood Sugar Balancing therapies focus on stabilizing your glucose levels through personalized dietary adjustments, targeted nutritional supplements, and lifestyle modifications.
By supporting healthy blood sugar levels, we help prevent long-term health problems and boost your energy, mood, and overall vitality.We also assess your insulin sensitivity and metabolic function to craft a plan that fits your unique body. These strategies are especially helpful for patients experiencing sugar cravings, low energy crashes, or early signs of type 2 diabetes.
Laboratory Analysis
Our advanced laboratory analysis helps us understand the specific imbalances in your body that may be contributing to your health challenges. From comprehensive blood work to specialized tests for hormones, gut health, and more, we gather critical information to guide your personalized treatment plan and ensure we are addressing your unique needs effectively.
These diagnostic tools are key to identifying hidden root causes such as nutrient deficiencies, infections, and inflammation. By integrating functional lab testing into your care, we ensure that your healing plan is based on real data not guesswork.
Naturopathy
Naturopathic therapies are taught in accredited naturopathic medical schools in the United States, with only five officially recognized programs: Bastyr University, National University of Health Sciences (NUHS), National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), Sonoran University of Health Sciences, and Universidad Ana G. Mendez in Gurabo, Puerto Rico. These natural, holistic treatments are designed to support the body’s innate healing ability, blending modern science with traditional wisdom.
Naturopathic therapies play a central role in The Skolnikoff Method and are used to address chronic conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome, fatigue, autoimmunity, digestive issues, hormone imbalance, mood disorders, and skin conditions. These treatments focus on root-cause resolution, not just symptom suppression.
The naturopathic approach identifies food intolerances and allergens, repairs the gut lining using nutrition, herbs, and antimicrobials, enhances digestion with enzyme therapies, and regulates stress. Since many digestive issues signal systemic or emotional imbalance, naturopathy often integrates mind-body techniques, lifestyle changes, and nutritional therapy.
Allergy Testing and Desensitization
Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to normally harmless substances in your environment—such as pollen, foods, pet dander, or dust. At Triad Of Health, our Allergy Therapies combine desensitization techniques, nutritional support, and immune regulation to help your body build tolerance and stop the overreaction.
Rather than masking symptoms, we focus on addressing the root cause of allergic responses, so your system can naturally adapt and find balance. With our unique approach, many patients have experienced significant relief—and in some cases, their allergies have disappeared completely.
This natural, non-invasive process is designed to improve your immune resilience, reduce inflammation, and enhance your overall quality of life.
Detoxification
Detoxification is essential for removing toxins and waste products that interfere with your body’s ability to heal and function properly. Our detox therapies support safe, fast, and effective internal cleansing using a combination of nutritional support, hydration, and specialized natural methods. These approaches are designed to promote deep detoxification and enhance your body’s own cleansing mechanisms.
When combined with other treatments in The Skolnikoff Method, detox therapies can be highly beneficial for improving digestion, reducing inflammation, and supporting healthy weight loss. Detoxification plays a vital role in restoring your energy, improving mental clarity, and helping you feel lighter and more balanced.
Organ and Gland Therapy
Organotherapy and Gland Therapy involve the use of specific organ and glandular extracts and homeopathic remedies to support and regenerate your body’s organs and glands. We offer an extensive variety of organ and gland therapies tailored to meet your unique needs.
By targeting your specific weaknesses and imbalances, we promote powerful and often miraculous healing, optimize organ function, and help restore vitality to your body’s key systems. These therapies are especially effective for individuals with chronic fatigue, endocrine imbalances, or autoimmune conditions. With personalized assessment, we are able to support long-term health transformation from the inside out.
Leaky Gut Therapy
Leaky gut occurs when the lining of your intestines becomes damaged, allowing harmful particles to leak into your bloodstream undigested. Our Leaky Gut Therapy is designed to restore the integrity of your gut lining through nutritional support, gut-healing supplements, and lifestyle modifications. This process helps improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and strengthen your immune system.
You’re in luck—we offer highly targeted, individualized therapies that can restore gut health very quickly, often within just a few visits. What sets us apart is that we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Your gut is unique, and your therapy will be custom-tailored specifically to your needs. That means deeper healing, faster results, and better long-term outcomes.
Immune System Therapies & Autoimmunity
Your immune system is responsible for protecting your body against illness and infection. Our Immune System Therapies are designed to strengthen and regulate immune function, address hidden imbalances, and support your body’s ability to fight off harmful pathogens naturally.
If you’re struggling with autoimmune conditions, we offer personalized treatments that help calm the immune response, reduce inflammation, and restore harmony to your entire system. These therapies not only target immune dysfunction—they also bring balance to your body, mind, spirit, nervous system, and biochemistry. When your immune system is in alignment, your whole body can begin to heal.
Vitalism
Vitalism is the foundational belief that the body is guided by a self-healing life force, often called the vital force. Rather than suppressing symptoms, it views them as the body’s intelligent response to imbalance. This philosophy supports the body’s natural healing processes and underlies many traditional healing systems.
Naturopathy, homeopathy, acupuncture, and herbal medicine all come from this vitalist worldview. They work with the body, not against it, to restore balance and health. Homeopathy stimulates the vital force, acupuncture regulates energy flow (Qi), and herbs are used to nourish and support the body’s systems. Each approach uses different tools but shares the same goal: to enhance the body’s innate healing intelligence.
In the 1800s, Samuel Hahnemann built homeopathy on this concept. Benedict Lust brought vitalism into naturopathy, and D.D. Palmer, the founder of chiropractic, referred to it as “Innate Intelligence.” Today, vitalistic therapies continue to work in harmony with the body’s energy and wisdom, forming the heart of many holistic healing approaches.
This approach allows for a more personalized, root-cause resolution of chronic illness. It also explains why many patients experience deep emotional and spiritual transformation during care. Vitalism respects the body’s timing and rhythm, promoting long-lasting healing rather than temporary relief. At Triad of Health, we integrate this timeless philosophy into every therapy we offer.
