Root Cause Medicine + Health Co-Creation

This is for anyone who has ever been told “everything looks fine,” when they don’t feel fine. For anyone who has felt frustrated with the lack of explanation, education, and solutions they need to resolve their health problems. This is for you if you know there must be a better, smarter way to rebuild your health and you are looking for a personalized approach so you and your family can create extraordinary health and live an extraordinary life.

Welcome to Vera KC! Nestled in the heart of Downtown Lee’s Summit, Vera KC was created to provide a functional approach to health while living in our modern world. Our office is focused on partnering with patients to investigate, identify, and resolve the root causes of your health concerns. And provide you with the education and support you need to learn sustainable health strategies and skills.

I start by listening to understand your story. Your experience combined with your health history and discussion of major life events helps me identify the causes of your health concerns.

In addition, I use functional lab testing to identify root causes at a cellular level to eliminate blind spots and personalize your treatment. (For example: Identifying chronic infections that burden the body with high levels of inflammation or discovering the key nutrient deficiencies that prevent your mitochondria from producing enough energy for you to feel good, think clearly, or carry out everyday metabolic processes properly).

This approach puts you in charge of your health so you can say goodbye to the limitations of annoying and painful health concerns.

“The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.”

—John F. Kennedy

A Smarter Approach to Health

Struggling with fatigue even though your thyroid levels are “normal”? You might be surprised to learn that conventional screening methods for thyroid disorders miss 80% of hypothyroid diagnoses.

Looking for medication free ways to support your mood and mental health — plus eliminate brain fog? The newest research on anxiety, depression, and brain health is showing better results by treating digestive function and inflammation than using antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds. Hippocrates said it best when he coined the phrase “All disease begins in the gut.”

Looking for a comprehensive approach to healing autoimmune diseases? Through nutrition, immune balancing herbs and supplments, and identifying and treating the trigger that caused immune dysfunction in the first place (It’s different for each person, but toxic burden, gut infections, and chronic viruses are a few examples) you can heal and reverse inflammatory symptoms and diseases.

Suffering from zombie-level insomnia? The approach to treating your insomnia will often depend on one majorly overlooked factor: Whether you have issues falling asleep — or staying asleep.

And those are just a few basic examples where functional medicine meets and exceeds what conventional medicine offers us — not just providing a temporary band aid to cover a symptom, but providing a way to heal the from the inside out.
