Functional Health Initiative - Okotoks, AB
"The key to maintaining or regaining our health, is taking responsibility and initiative."
Preserving Muscle Strength & Mass
Muscle quality is dependent upon many factors including muscle mass, strength, power and endurance. Healthy muscle cells produce hormones called myokines during physical activity; myokines stimulate AMPK, increase glucose uptake, improve lipolysis and reduce inflammation.
Building Strong Bones
In order to reverse osteoporosis we must understand why we are losing bone density and strength. We must stop accepting bone loss as "normal" and we must work to restore bone metabolism.
Premium Supplements
To maintain health - brain, muscle, bone, nerves, skin, blood circulation, and immune system - our body requires a steady supply of both macronutrients and micronutrients.
Biometric Health Screening
Biometric health assessments help to increase our awareness and provide us with an easy way to keep track of changes in our health metrics from year to year; they also help empower us to make positive lifestyle changes.
Health Coaching
