Wellness Center Hopkinsville KY

Have you been taking pills that only treat symptoms without addressing the underlying cause? That’s what functional medicine is all about. Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach that helps you manage chronic conditions. In many cases, patients can reduce or eliminate the use of prescriptions from their daily routine through holistic care and following healthy habits. What is the root cause of your health problems? Find the answer by beginning your journey to better health.

There are many reasons why functional medicine is right for you:

• It seeks to understand the root cause of an illness
• It’s a science-based, research-backed effective method
• We create a personalized wellness plan for every patient 
• Uses a multi-disciplinary approach from nutrition to sleep, movement, and stress management among others to correct a condition
• Can be used to enhance overall health

As a Hopkinsville, KY resident, are you ready to meet your health and wellness goals? A wellness coach can guide you along the path to better health. The Medical Direct Care team will create a plan that works best for you and your current health situation. We also incorporate regular checkpoints to monitor your progress and to address any questions or developments during your wellness journey.

With our wellness coach, you not only get a plan that works specifically for you but also a person who follows up on your progress. Our team motivates you to keep on working towards your goals.

You need a coach when:

• You need to change your lifestyle to manage a chronic condition
• You have a personal lifestyle goal, such as weight loss 
• You need to stop an addiction, such as smoking 
• You need to make better health choices
• You cannot manage your anxiety and stress

Personalization is the only way to ace any wellness program. To create a plan, you work with our team of professionals who seek to understand your health, habits and lifestyle, and your goals. If tests are necessary, our doctor will ensure you get all the necessary tests to best craft your program.

We believe that you never have to take the wellness journey alone. To that end, we ensure that you have the motivation, knowledge, and tools so you can see the results of your health improvements.

The first step towards your wellness journey needs to start from a point of information. Information is power that fuels you to take action. Attend our live presentation that will help you clearly set your goals and help you to move forward. 

What is your medical history? Are there any health concerns that the wellness coach needs to know? How is your everyday schedule? Are there any tests needed to get you started? Through a consultation session, the doctor seeks to understand your condition, habits, and goals to help you get started. 

After consultation, our professionals will work with you to create a wellness plan that works for you. Here, we help you break down your goals into action items. Your plan has to be achievable, and we will be there every step of the way. 

Pick the wellness action items one by one and implement them in your schedule. Because your goals have to be time-bound, you will have a list of activities for each day while some are continuous, such as your nutrition.
