functional or conventional medicine
"All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident." Schopenhauer
Functional Medicine uses systems biology to understand and identify how core imbalances in specific biological systems can manifest in other parts of the body.
Gives a name to the sum of symptoms a client is presenting a “DISEASE” & then they just use a pill for every ill.
They may find one condition has many different causes and, likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions. As a result, functional medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual.
The Functional Medicine approach uses a broad range of interventions to achieve optimal health including diet, nutrition, exercise and movement; stress management; sleep and rest, bioenergetic medicine, phytonutrient, nutritional and pharmaceutical supplementation; and various other restorative and reparative therapies.
Each patient is unique, every single symptom, cause, ailment.
Each program is tailored to be 100% individual.
I't recognizes the importance of modern medicine and combines it with traditional medicine and ancient wisdom, emphasizes the importance of everything that can affect the mind and body.
Journals uncorrupted by corporate or political interest, BIG PHARMA can’t profit from prescribing celery juice in the morning, or eating clean anti-inflammatory foods.
Are used to investigate functional biochemical, nutritional, metabolic and hormonal status. to promote optimal function, prevent and reverse disease, and improve quality of life.
Patient plays an active role, Functional Medicine is deeply interested in listening to the patient, every aspect of their life to investigate how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual.
Reverses disease, and prevents future complications.
Eliminates sources of inflammation or triggers providing the body with the ability to heal therefore restoring health.
Treatments have mild or no side effects, and other unrelated complaints often improve spontaneously.
Provides the right conditions so the body can heal itself.
By addressing root cause, rather than symptoms, practitioners become oriented to identifying the complexity of disease.
If you cant find the cause then the issue will present itself all over again, even if they take out the alleged tumor, mole, infection.
Perceives the body as a collection of individual organs or systems, each of which has it's own specialist
Digestive system: gastroenterologist
Heart: cardiologist
Brain: Neurologist
They don't believe one thing affects the other.
The treatments available are very LIMITED they mostly consist of: drugs & surgery even with the extensive risks in complications and side effects.
Patients with the same disease get the same treatment regardless of their symptoms, age, gender, complaints.
Conventional medicine eliminates the validity of other forms of medicine, due to ignorance.
Influenced by corporate/pharmaceutical & insurance companies.
Tests and treatments results number based on the “NORMAL” average results of people (most people are not healthy) not on healthy individuals designed to prevent death and manage serious disease, without dealing with the underlying cause.
Patient plays a submissive role.
Mostly dismissed or ignored when trying to communicate the beliefs of the factors affecting their health.
Saves lives when the only option left is surgery or hospitalization.
Conventional medicine prescribes medications, makes you a patient for life, they are just a palliative.
Just look at the back of any medication under adverse reactions, severe side effects every time.
Just because you can't feel the pain (thanks to the painkillers) doesn't mean the body is not hurting anymore.
Gives a name to the sum of symptoms a client is presenting a “DISEASE” & then they just use a pill for every ill.

I can now eat foods that I couldn't before without inflammation. My hormones, which have always been a challenge, are now completely in check. Thanks to Wellhistic, l've healed my digestive issues and gained the stamina to excel in my busy, artistic life.

Detoxify Your Body !
These months with Carola have truly allowed me to experience and witness a detoxification of my body that I never imagined possible. Things have been coming out of my body that I never thought were there. This has made me question why we don't cleanse all those parts of our body that we assume clean themselves. They don't. It's essential to detoxify the body at least once a year. What I love is that all the pills and tinctures are natural and cleanse on a cellular level, something medications simply don't do. Additionally, there is a holistic approach, cleaning all the systems in the body. I am fascinated with the treatment, and even though I know it's not an overnight process, I feel less inflamed, have more energy, and am in a better mood because I feel so much better than when I started. Do not hesitate to get these products-they provide a profound and thorough detoxification like nothing else!

Finally Overcame My Condition !
My name is Lola O., and I am almost 42 years old. Before meeting Carola, I had been taking antidepressants and anxiolytics for nearly 17 years. Despite trying various therapies, family constellations, meditation, and countless other treatments, I couldn't break free from depression. After about nine months of Carola's treatment, I began to feel different. With the guidance of my neurologist, l gradually weaned off the medications. I never knew it was possible to live differently and to feel motivated and excited about life most of the time. Before meeting Carola, my days filled with light and hope were very rare. Additionally, as a result of this treatment, I finally overcame bulimia. Although I had been improving, I was still vomiting at least 2 to 3 times a week. Today, I have been almost 10 months without vomiting. I am so grateful that our paths crossed and that I could also bring my daughter, who was advised to go on antidepressants. It turned out she had a severe case of mold, Candida, and parasites. Thanks to Carola's treatment, she's now incredibly healthy and thriving! Thank you, Carola.

Infinite Thanks !
When I was 36 years old (4 years before I wanted to be a mom), I had digestive issues that wouldn't go away no matter what I did, we addressed them and got so much better, Carola mentioned that if I was planning to have kids I just needed to let her know a few months prior just to check that everything was in order. I turned 40, I knew I wanted to be a mom, and the time came for me to start trying one month into the protocol and I was pregnant! I couldn't believe it, Carola reminded me that all the work we did before in balancing every area of my mind and body had a huge impact on me conceiving so fast, Here I am with my beautiful son Allan. Infinite thanks!

Highly Recommend It !
I just finished the 23 day holistic detox cleanse with Carola and I feel amazing. I highly recommend it. I decided to do it because I was having some digestive issues and also problems with my energy levels, definitely after the 23 days and I felt a massive improvement in both of those areas. I was able to identify which foods were causing these digestive problems, and then also identify the things that I was consuming, eating and drinking that were depleting my energy levels. I'm super grateful to Carola for this program, I'm super grateful I decided to do this cleanse! Also Carola is amazing everything is explained so detailed and clear, Carola and her team are there every step of the way, always there to answer my questions. I highly recommend it.

Feel Good !
After 2 months going into treatment for my forever digestive issues that had a mix of chronic constipation and a mix of diarrhea, pain, inflammation, bloating etc. my inflammation and symptoms came down so much that I actually stopped having debilitating back pain. She helped me identify bacteria, parasites and allergies that were causing so much trouble, My anxiety came down significantly, my brain fog improved so much and I was able to focus for extended periods of time now. I also learned so much about the brain gut connection, never thought that this would help with my peace of mind, the body really is just one. I'm having great days, my stomach is ok now, I have great digestion, and I'm mentally stable. I'm feeling REALLY GOOD! Thank you.

I Can Function !
I first came to see Carola Le-Wriedt, at the recommendation of a friend, I was very weary at the beginning and honestly not at all convinced that this would work for me. Over 6 months have passed and I still get amazed every session we have, how new healing opportunities rise to the surface and within them new layers for healing, I feel incredible, I can actually sleep and rest ( something that seemed impossible for such a long time ) I actually have energy, and to put it simply I FUNCTION! I function in ways I didn't know I could, I just didn't realize I was feeling so off, I guess you start to get used to dragging your feet and just survive the day. Now I know I do not have to live that way

I Feel Optimal !
I used to have loads of digestive issues which I believed to be normal, Carola detected the root issue, she also discovered the key to hormonal imbalances that had been affecting me for years. My treatment was supposed to be 6 months but I felt instantly better after just 1 month. Now looking back a whole year has passed and I have maintained that sense of wellbeing. I can say that functional medicine is definitely the way to get my mind and body to optimal function.

180° On My Health !
After getting tired of seeking answers in hospitals I tried to heal by educating myself, and no matter what I ate, what diet I encountered, and how many books I read about healing the gut, I never could find the underlying issues with my digestión until I found Carola Le-Wriedt, she helped me understand why I'm not feeling well, and did a complete 180 on my health issues.

I'm So Happy !
We were on a trip for 2 months through Europe and my husband and family got the flu really bad, I am so healthy now I was the only one that didn't catch the bug, whereas before I would be the first to get sick anywhere we went. Thank you for bringing my health back! I also cannot thank Carola enough, my 3 year old son used to be incredibly anxious and it would take about 4 hours for him to go to sleep. Now he is sleeping through the night and his TMJ is gone, after only 1 session I'm so happy about this, it was such a struggle.

Quality of Life !
Carola managed through her protocols to provide me with a quality of life that I would never have imagined possible. It has been one of the most valuable gifts I have received in this life! Battling hormonal, metabolic issues, chronic pain, allergy, digestive, concentration and autoimmune nervous system issues, they have all been resolved as a result of finding the root cause of my ailments. I had been to more than 20 doctors to address my health issues. She goes so in depth to combat the underlying causes of why I had chronic fatigue and fainting spells, I have been dealing with, which is something no doctor has done prior.
