A New Way to Heal: Why I Created Wellness Insights

Most of us don’t have a doctor who views us as a whole person. 

Those of us who do have a primary care doctor are dissatisfied with the quick visits, the lack of follow up on labs, and the lack of personalization to recommendations. Those of us with specialists are tired of being viewed with the narrow lens of one body system. 

Without a proactive, personalized, coordinated approach, our health takes a hit and feeling poorly becomes the accepted norm.

I created Wellness Insights to change that.

I built you the dream medical practice that I personally wanted and couldn’t find in Connecticut.

As you know, health is complicated. 

My own journey is probably not much different than yours. My own stress, insomnia, chronic pain, genetic tendency to high cholesterol, hormones, and digestion were all a challenge to manage without a holistic approach. I was tired of being bounced around from specialist to specialist while my primary doctor said I was “doing everything” I could. There had to be a better way.

I wanted a board-certified medical doctor and naturopathic doctor leading my care with an evidence-backed approach. I wanted to understand the impact my genes had in my trajectory.  I wanted to work on my physical body, healing a childbirth-related injury and guidamce to improve my muscle and bone mass. I wanted an approach to my skincare that was more than cosmetic, and I wanted someone who would understand my past mental-emotional health and help me make targeted behavioral changes in my habits.

So I built Wellness Insights for us. 

At Wellness Insights, we lend our time and expertise to investigate the root causes of your health issues and mitigate the risks of preventable disease in a multi-discipinary model of care coordination. Our aim is two fold: want to improve the quality and longevity of your life.

Dedicated Care Team

As a patient at Wellness Insights, you have access to our entire multi-disciplinary team of experts: board certified physicians, naturopaths, health coaches, physical therapists, massage therapists and integrative aesthetics. 

Our goal is to provide a team-based approach to your health and help you make real lifestyle changes. Together, our team is here to support every aspect of your health and wellness, and go the extra step of coordinating care along the way.

Expanded Labs and Diagnostics 

We routinely test over 100+ biomarkers using traditional insurance-based lab services through companies like Quest and LabCorp along with specialized advanced testing through functional medicine laboratories that evaluate stool, saliva and urine for further optimization. This allows us to catch early issues before they become larger medical problems.

Precise Recommendations

We take a detailed history and combine this with your family history, lab results, goals—and, if desired, your genetic information—to create a full picture of you with precise recommendations. This allows you to make shifts with your nutrition, activities and exercise regimens, supplements, and self-care that prevents you from wasting money on things that don’t work for you. We don’t just say that you should eat better, we help teach you how you should eat for your body, and how food can help you feel better. We help you optimize your vitamin and supplement routine, and point you in the right direction re: exercise. 

Proactive Check-ins and Repeat Testing

We enjoy seeing our patients at least semi-annually for blood work and check-ins that allow us to see improvements and opportunities as they arise. This also ensures you are held accountable to the goals you set forth in your first visits.

Advanced EMR with Messaging

With ongoing support from our team through our patient-friendly portal, you can easily get superbills, appointments made or rescheduled, and answers from our providers. And you can feel comfortable that your personal health information is secure. 

We are working to provide you next-level medical care right in your backyard.
