Frequently Asked Questions

How do we discover the root cause?

Dr. Rencher’s evaluation goes beyond the symptomatic region, a whole body approach. The analysis includes a thorough health history, comprehensive testing and questionnaires that review the deficiencies, and health of each organ and system. Rather than narrowly focusing on only the symptom, the approach works on discovering why this condition developed, beyond your genetics.

What can I expect as a treatment?

Once we discover the cause of your condition the treatment will address the cause by nourishing the deficiencies, removing the harmful toxins or parasites, and restoring the full function of the organ or system with diet changes, supplementation and some lifestyle habits.

Does this really work?

It’s important to remember that your body is always trying to heal and repair. Our focused treatments assist the body in this healing, by removing the hurdles and providing the nutrients it needs to recover fully. And yes, it’s the new wave of healthcare because it works!

What conditions can this help?

While your genetics may predispose you to certain conditions, recent studies have shown that it’s the poor diets, nutritional deficiencies, inflammation and toxins that activate those genetics or create symptoms including allergies, arthritis, heart arrhythmias, lowered immune system, migraines, sleep issues, gastric reflux, osteoporosis, hormonal imbalance, memory loss and more. By addressing these factors we can reduce or eliminate these conditions.
