Contact Telephone 617.734.4708 Our Naturopathic evaluations are available by phone Nantucket Island: "To administer medicine to diseases which have already developed and thereby suppress bodily chaos which has already occurred is comparable to the behavior of those who would begin to dig a well after they had grown thirsty, or those who would begin to cast weapons after they have engaged in battle. Would these actions not be too late?"- The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, 400 B.C. Health problems, especially any disease process, do not happen suddenly. Instead the accumulation of assaults to your body's nutritional chemistry gradually break down normal function. The body is then forced to adapt in ways that change not only its' function, but even structure at a cellular level. The food you eat, the envirnoment in which you live, the stress you experience and especially the toxins in your life; all of these come together to cause the body dis-ease. Even physical injury will take the form that it does because of our personal chemistry at the time. We believe it is necessary to take the time to trace illness and injury back to the originating source and gradually undo years of neglect and toxic injury. We accomplish this by finding each of the "signposts" along the way to guide us through your body's history of imbalances. Our evaluations are designed to identify this progressive relationship between symptoms, causes and disease so that we can find the best method for tapping into and supporting your body's innate healing ability. Then your body chemistry will begin to work for you instead of against you... |

Healing and health have always been related to eating. Even in ancient cultures, food was the key to longevity and to combat illness. But today, we are overwhelmed with food allergies, militant eating philosophies and so many questions about what is healthy that we often don't make food choices, we simply eat. At ISIS , we believe in eating as a process through which the body can heal and flourish. Our program of coaching will help you identify food sensitivities and find the right food combinations for each stage of your healing process. Then we can help you develop a personalized program of foods, recipes and ideas to maintain health and vitality for every season and every schedule. 
In order to cleanse your body or even to decide what supplements you may need, the place to begin is with your cellular health. Tissue Mineral Hair Analysis provides significant information regarding the amount of minerals deposited in soft tissue along with any toxic metals which can affect energy, skin, hair and the nervous system. By testing the levels of essential minerals in your body tissues, you can see all mineral volume, not just what is actively in the blood. Many studies indicate that illness begins as an undetected mineral imbalance in the tissue, not the blood. Body hair samples record storage levels in tissue, since the hair is an outgrowth of body tissue. From this levels of trace minerals, heavy metal deposition and body metabolism can be measured and evaluated. The resulting doctor's lab report will give you a comprehensive analysis, nutritional and dietary suggestions and common symptomology.
