The Interconnected Web of Health

Each compound serves a distinct and indispensable role in the body. Creating energy, structure, and communication signals, and everything in between. This is life, in a nutshell.

Any disruption in these interconnected reactions can lead to an excess or deficiency of another compound, which in turn affects others, creating a cascade of imbalances. When that happens, our body cannot support its fundamental functions, and our health suffers.

The interdependent nature of the system means that nearly any symptom or condition can arise depending on where the disruptions occur, what causes it, and how the body responds. Seemingly unrelated issues may, in fact, be deeply connected.

Energy: The Ultimate Root Cause

At the center of all of this is energy. The exchanges in this system depend on energy. Without energy, nothing works. That's why energy is the ultimate root cause - and supporting it is the foundation of a truly holistic approach.

Conventional vs. Prism Approach

Conventional wisdom is that for each of the manifestations in the lower layers, you need a different expert, a different solution, presumably because they are all driven by different causes.

At Prism, we recognize that while the manifestations are unique and divergent, the causes remain consistent. What causes the manifestations to change is the individual's circumstances. We focus on the higher layers as it pertains to your case, and this gives us the power to address a wide range of conditions and symptoms.

Key Principles

  • Focus on root causes, not symptoms
  • Understand the interconnected nature of health
  • Prioritize energy production and gut health
  • Address the whole system, not isolated parts

Our Three Pillars

The core underlying root causes of all health issues

Gut Health

The gut is so much more than a hub for digestion. It’s the epicenter of our immune system and its breakdown is the main driver of chronic inflammation throughout the body.

Stress

It’s not in your head. Hormones, metabolism and the nervous system all have distinct adaptations that underpin the biological process of stress.

Thyroid and Energy

Our mitochondria are ground zero for our body’s metabolism. A focus on their energy generating processes, with thyroid hormones playing the most central role, is paramount to any long term health strategy.
