Cardiometabolic Health

The term "cardiometabolic" combines two key concepts: cardiovascular health, which pertains to the heart and blood vessels, and metabolic health, which focuses on conditions such as diabetes and obesity. These two areas are closely interconnected, as dysfunction in one can often trigger issues in the other, creating a cyclical effect.

Cardiometabolic health is vital because it serves as the cornerstone of the body's overall functioning. When cardiometabolic disorders are diagnosed late or left untreated, they can lead to a gradual and severe decline in organ health. For instance, unmanaged high blood pressure can weaken critical organs such as the liver, lungs, and kidneys. Similarly, poorly controlled diabetes can result in chronic wounds that fail to heal, eventually leading to severe complications and, in many cases, fatal outcomes. Addressing cardiometabolic health proactively is essential to preventing these cascading health issues.

Poor cardiometabolic health is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and can be the root cause of several disease states, including:

• High blood pressure
• Diabetes 1, diabetes 2, and Pre-diabetes
• Vascular inflammation
• Obesity
• Increased levels of cholesterol

At Wave Wellness San Diego, the contributors and causes of cardiometabolic health are examined and addressed before they progress. The triggers such as stress, poor diet, inflammation, or hereditary causes are evaluated.

Gut and Digestive Health

Gut Health is the foundation of overall wellness. Maintaining a balanced level of beneficial bacteria in the gut is essential for optimal health. This bacteria, collectively known as the gut microbiome, plays a critical role in nearly every aspect of well-being. An imbalance—whether from an overgrowth or deficiency—can lead to a wide range of health issues throughout the body.

Gut health is a cornerstone of overall wellness, as many diseases can be traced back to an unhealthy gut. Often overlooked, the state of your gut reflects the state of your overall health. Poor gut health can signal underlying issues, while a balanced and thriving gut microbiome supports a healthier, more resilient body.

Equally vital is a well-functioning digestive system. A healthy digestive tract not only enhances quality of life but also supports brain function, metabolic health, and a strong immune system.

At Wave Wellness San Diego, we take a holistic approach to addressing conditions linked to poor gut and digestive health. By focusing on the root causes, we help restore balance and improve overall well-being. Some of the conditions we treat include:

• Heartburn
• Bloating
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Microbiome imbalance
• Bacterial infections
• Yeast or fungal infections
• Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

Integrative Psychiatry

Mental health is a cornerstone of overall well-being, with the brain acting as the body’s cognitive control center, governing every system and function. When the brain is out of balance, it can lead to dysfunction in the systems it regulates, ultimately impacting physical and emotional health.

At Wave Wellness San Diego, we embrace integrative medicine to support mental wellness. This holistic approach provides a comprehensive toolkit to care for the brain by addressing the entire body, acknowledging the deep connection between physical and mental health.

A crucial aspect of maintaining brain health is mindfulness about what we introduce into our bodies. Harmful substances, such as hard drugs or unsafe injectables, can severely impair brain function over time, causing long-term damage.

Brain dysfunctions can also stem from factors like infections, exposure to toxins, or chronic inflammation. By identifying and addressing these root causes, Wave Wellness San Diego helps individuals achieve better mental health and a higher quality of life.

Metal Concerns Treated at Wave Wellness San Diego Include:

• Depression
• ADHD
• Stress
• Anxiety

Our goal is to provide personalized, holistic care that promotes mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall wellness, empowering you to live a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Integrative Dermatology

The state of your skin is often a window into the health of your gut and digestive system. It acts as a mirror, reflecting your internal well-being. Skin concerns can indicate a poor diet, hormonal imbalances, or even exposure to toxins and allergens.

At Wave Wellness San Diego, we focus on helping you feel confident in your own skin—not just by addressing the symptoms but by promoting holistic health from within. We take a comprehensive approach to treating skin concerns, ensuring that your inner and outer well-being align.

Our goal is to empower you with radiant, healthy skin by addressing the root causes and boosting your confidence through a holistic wellness journey.

Hormonal Balance

Your body's hormonal system is the powerhouse of virtually all its systems. Hormones are vital in your reproductive, immune, and cognitive systems. The hormonal system also controls energy levels, fertility, and moods.

Hormonal Health in Women

Unlike men, women experience frequent and rapid hormonal fluctuations throughout the month. These changes are essential for regulating various physiological processes, such as menstruation, ovulation, and pregnancy preparation. Hormones play a vital role in driving these changes, but their delicate balance can sometimes be disrupted.

Hormonal imbalances are common among women and can lead to conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), weight fluctuations (both overweight and underweight), and, in some cases, the development of features typically associated with male hormones, such as hirsutism (excessive hair growth). Addressing these imbalances holistically is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being.

At Wave Wellness San Diego, novel holistic and integrative approaches are carried out to ensure a thriving and optimal hormonal balance in the body. We speak with you in detail about your needs and can test your hormones to greater extent than general bloodwork that is done at your doctor’s office. Examples of hormonal dysfunctions treated include:

• PCOS,
• Infertility,
• Thyroid dysfunction,
• Menopausal state,
• Insufficient adrenaline levels, etc.

Fatigue and Chronic Pain

Fatigue and chronic pain are often indicators of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. This state can be caused by poor diet, gut microbiome imbalance, exposure to environmental toxins and pollutants, poor sleep or insomnia, chronic infections, and stress.

High levels of stress can lead to to dysfunctions in the body from headaches to high blood pressure. At Wave Wellness San Diego, we aim to resolve oxidative stress and correct mitochondrial function, leading to high optimal energy levels.

Some of the fatigue conditions treated are:

• Fibromyalgia
• Insomnia
• Chronic pain
• Chronic fatigue and
• Obstructive Sleep Apnea

We work with your obstetrician or midwife in maintaining the healthiest version of you through this sometimes difficult and demanding period of life.
