Where a specific illness process has developed, Dr. Yanuck’s goals are 1) to identify and correct key elements unique to your body’s condition that improve your healing ability, 2) to identify and support your body’s normal ability to suppress key factors driving the disease process, 3) to identify ways that your diet, nutrition, neurological function, exercise pattern, or other behaviors may be harnessed to help you improve your health. Rather than viewing you as “a condition,” Dr. Yanuck works to understand the complete picture of how your body is functioning and how that function can be supported, identifying your specific, unique needs, rather than applying a programmatic formula based on the disease-name. When appropriate, Dr. Yanuck coordinates with other clinicians who are part of your care team.

If you have a chronic illness, whether it has an autoimmune component or not, you want to be in the “have an illness and doing well” group, rather than the “have an illness and doing poorly” group. Dr. Yanuck’s goal is to support the key factors that allow your body to function at its best, restoring you to the fullest possible level of function and optimal healing capacity, so you have the best chance to enjoy a normal life, with the illness in the background, not the foreground.
