Because we are all unique, everyone’s treatment plans are individualized to that person’s needs.

North Node Approach

At North Node Health we view the system as a whole and approach healing by looking at the entire person. With lab diagnostics, we can gain deeper insight into how well a body is processing and functioning and what changes and additions need to be made to restore balance. These additions can include lifestyle changes, exercise, and supplements to help the body heal itself.

North Node Health uses a scientific approach using health history and laboratory testing to assess the body’s function. We consider the body a garden and in order for the garden to thrive, the terrain must be studied and understood. There are some tests to help make those assessments as well as the most important factor, lifestyle, which we will strive to educate and inspire our patients to embrace. Together we will work to improve the terrain of the body, which is the foundation to health.

How It Works

The initial visit is usually the longest and will require filling out a detailed health history prior to meeting with Dr. Forati. This gives her the ability to listen carefully, take detailed notes, and make connections to symptoms and conditions you’ve been suffering from in order to recommend the appropriate lab tests for evaluation.

We offer the convenience of virtual care for all our Integrative Medicine appointments. In person visits can be arranged for patients who live in the area.

Whether you prefer teleconferencing or by phone, North Node Health will tailor their approach based on your preference.

Education

We highly recommend the book, “The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: Integrating Deep Nutrition, the Ketogenic Diet, and Nontoxic Bio-Individualized Therapies” by Dr. Nasha Winters. This book is the foundation where our approach to care has been modeled.

Testing

In order to get a proper assessment of the terrain, specific labs ate ordered at the initial stage of treatment in order to develop a comprehensive health plan. All the labs will be explained in detail as to their reasons and what information can be garnered from them.

Treatment plan

Once the lab results have arrived the treatment plan for the patient is developed that includes nutrition, lifestyle and targeted herbs/ supplements. We will go over the plan and explain the logic behind it. Appointments will be scheduled to go over treatment plans and patients can reach out and schedule additional time to address their questions.
