MISSION
The mission of Custom Health and Wellness is to respect health beliefs and cultural beliefs by supporting a person-centered and tiered approach to health care, using the least invasive methods as first-tier treatment in order to reduce the overuse and abuse of prescription medications, lessen high costs of chronic disease, and provide a sustainable health system-integrating BIOMEDICAL+TRADITIONAL HEALING+HOLISTIC
Our programs are designed to educate, build awareness and provide solutions which inspire positive change in our world.
We are solution-focused, part of the continuum of care and believe in treating the whole person through a CUSTOM(ized), compassionate and integrative approach.
We believe there are many paths for healing the mind, body and spirit. Through clinical research, patient education, advocacy, healing programs and true preventive health, our experts blend the best of conventional Western medicine with evidence-based complementary therapies and ancient healing practices to promote better health. We believe in creating a culture that promotes innovative, vision-forward thinking, collaboration, sustainability, and giving back.
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” World Health Organization
Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based approach to preventing, treating and even reversing chronic diseases by replacing unhealthy behaviors with positive ones — such as eating healthy, being physically active, managing stress, practicing self-care, getting adequate sleep and having a strong support system.

OB-GYN
Two Years after my father died I found his wallet...Harvard ID, a piece of paper with a list of 17 medications...that hit me right between the eyes. None of my father's providers asked him about his lifestyle, nutrition, or what his health goals were.
My patients were asking me. They were coming to me for answers and I had nothing. I had to go on a journey to find something else, because this wasn't what I signed up for. I really wanted to make a difference and help people but what I was doing wasn't making a difference.
Support Core Mission of Healthcare
CUSTOM Health and Wellness will communicate only with well-intentioned and collaborative individuals with the goal of supporting one another with ongoing positive, relevant information, training, resources, and education to help health and wellness providers and communities implement education and evidence-based services that yield results.
“Systematically treating disease without assessing the patients lifestyle or offering guidance on how to change is irresponsible and bordering on neglect” -Dr. John Kelly President, American College of Lifestyle Medicine

Employers ~ Positively Impact Well-Being
The World Health Organization Considers Stress to be the "Health Epidemic of the 21st Century." And the American Institute of Stress has published that job stress costs U.S. employers over $300 BILLION annually as a result of absenteeism, employee turnover, diminished productivity...
Listen to what employees want out of a wellness program. When given the choice on wellness priorities, employees are much more likely to participate and hopefully, form lifelong healthy habits. A wellness program advances health in all aspects, physically, emotionally, and psychologically ~holistically caring for ourselves is the only path to true wellness. For employees, this translates into increased productivity, fewer absences, clearer thinking and greater success for the company as a whole. How can we help?
How well do we help people PREVENT (not manage) disease in the U.S.?
90/10 gap-90% goes into pharmaceuticals! Insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies are driving our healthcare. The system is broken. Do we have an ethical responsibility to do something? Of course we do!
The most common message in the medical field is that failed health and wellness comes with age, but we flip the script, by empowering individuals with knowledge to control their health and provide them with education through the integration of health modalities, resources, and a shared vision with an emphasis on true preventative healthcare.
