Episodic, or sick care, is also available at EmpowerWellness! We are available to evaluate and treat sudden or short-term health issues, such as illnesses or other acute conditions. While our practice emphasizes preventive care and lifestyle interventions to promote overall wellness, we also understand that unexpected health concerns can arise, requiring prompt medical attention.

• Timely Evaluation: When you're feeling unwell or experiencing acute symptoms, it's essential to seek medical evaluation promptly. Our team of experienced nurse practitioners is here to assess your symptoms, provide an accurate diagnosis, and recommend appropriate treatment options.

• Comprehensive Treatment: Whether you're dealing with a minor illness, we offer comprehensive treatment tailored to your specific needs. This may include medication management or diagnostic testing.

• Symptom Management: Our goal is to alleviate your symptoms and help you feel better as quickly as possible. We provide evidence-based treatments to address your symptoms effectively while also addressing any underlying factors contributing to your condition.

• Patient Education: In addition to providing treatment, we believe in empowering patients with knowledge and information about their health. We take the time to educate patients about their condition, including preventive measures to avoid future episodes and when to seek further medical attention if needed.
  

Lifestyle Medicine emphasizes the importance of lifestyle factors, such as nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep, and social connections, in preventing and treating chronic diseases. Rather than relying solely on medications or procedures to manage symptoms, Lifestyle Medicine seeks to empower individuals to make positive changes in their daily habits to improve their health and quality of life.

Our approach to healthcare goes beyond just treating symptoms – we address the root causes of health issues by incorporating Lifestyle Medicine principles into our practice. From nutrition and exercise to stress management and sleep hygiene, we work with you to develop personalized lifestyle plans that promote optimal health and wellness.

• Nutrition: A balanced and nutritious diet is essential for optimal health. We work with patients to develop personalized nutrition plans that emphasize whole, nutrient-dense foods and minimize processed and unhealthy options. We strongly advocate for plant-based, whole-food sources of nutrition, and will help you incorporate the principles of Lifestyle Medicine into your daily life.

• Physical Activity: Regular exercise is not only beneficial for physical health but also for mental well-being. We help patients incorporate physical activity into their daily routines, taking into account their individual preferences and abilities.

• Stress Management: Chronic stress can have a significant impact on health, contributing to conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, anxiety, and depression. We teach stress-reduction techniques, such as mindfulness meditation, deep breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques, to help patients better manage stress and improve their overall well-being.

• Sleep Hygiene: Adequate sleep is essential for overall health and functioning. We provide education and strategies to help patients improve their sleep habits and address any underlying sleep disorders.

• Social Connections: Strong social connections and a sense of community are important for mental and emotional health. We encourage patients to cultivate meaningful relationships and engage in activities that foster social connection and support.



• Avoidance of Risky Substances: We help you develop a personalized plan to eliminate toxic substances from your life, such as cigarettes, alcohol, and ultra-processed foods.
