Happy New Year & 2023 Practice Update from Dr. Libert

by

Hello Dear One,

I hope you had a beautiful holiday season and all is well with you. I am writing to share some highlights of 2022 and let you in on what we have planned for 2023. 

In February 2023 we will celebrate four years of patient care at Caring for the Body, PLLC – Center for Functional Medicine. It is a profound honor and privilege to work with our patients. I love seeing people heal! It brings me great joy and fulfillment when our patients no longer suffer from chronic symptoms, improve lab values, reverse their risk factors for disease, shed diagnoses, cut back or eliminate their need for prescription drugs, lose unwanted body fat, increase energy, think clearer, move better, and experience improved vitality… so that they can do the things in life that bring them joy and a sense of purpose!

2022 has been a year of growth and connection. 

Here are a few of the highlights:

I am grateful for all of the opportunities we’ve had to serve our patients in 2022, and look forward to growing the impact of Caring for the Body, PLLC – Center for Functional Medicine in 2023!  

There are two key ways we want to grow:

  1. Helping our patients experience more health transformation.
  2. Improving access to cost-effective, affordable functional medical care 

We are expanding our capacity to help more people through group medical programs targeted at specific sets of common symptoms and diseases.

2023 is the Year of Lifestyle Medicine Group Medical Visits at Caring for the Body, PLLC! 

We’ve been busy creating affordable group medical visit options to serve a larger number of people. We have exciting things planned for the coming year…

Here’s an overview of the symptoms and conditions we treat in our 2023 Lifestyle Medicine Group Programs: 

Cardiometabolic Solutions Lifestyle Medicine Program

Here’s a list of common conditions that we address in this program:

  • High Cholesterol
  • Hypertension
  • Insulin Resistance
  • Type II Diabetes Mellitus
  • Heart Disease
  • Overweight/Obesity
  • Loss of Muscle Mass (Sarcopenia)
  • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

SOS Stress Recovery Lifestyle Medicine Program 

Here’s a list of common conditions that we address in the SOS – Stress Recovery Program:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Overwhelm
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Insomnia
  • Caregiver Support
  • Burnout Prevention & Treatment

Pillars of Gastrointestinal Health Program 

Here’s a list of common conditions that we address in the Pillars of Gastrointestinal Health Program:

  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Chronic Constipation and/or Diarrhea
  • Intestinal Permeability (Leaky Gut Syndrome)
  • Food Sensitivities
  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
  • Gut-Brain Connection & Microbiome Optimization
  • Chronic Diseases associated with GI Dysfunction

The 10-Day Clear Change Program – Metabolic Detoxification

The Clear Change Program enhances the body’s natural metabolic detoxification process while providing adequate fuel for both cleansing and other daily activities–supporting energy metabolism and overall well-being. It is ideal for anyone wanting a jumpstart to weight loss and energy. 

More ways to jumpstart your new lifestyle and fitness routine…

To get to the root cause of chronic disease we have invested in diagnostic technology and created a new assessment aimed at helping our patients lose unwanted body fat, gain lean muscle, and get physically fit. After the indulgence of the holidays, it’s a great time to hit the reset button and re-focus on your health! Here are two affordable options to jumpstart your new lifestyle and fitness routine:

  • InBody Body Composition Assessment – Find out how much body fat and lean muscle you have. This quick test is a great way to track your fitness and weight loss progress to make sure you are shedding fat and not muscle.  
  • Functional Fitness Assessment with Dr. Libert – The goal is to understand your personal strengths and weaknesses, and to get started on a progressive fitness program to optimize your body composition, reduce your risk for chronic disease and potentially add years of better health to your life. 

Focus on Cognitive Decline Prevention

I continue to have a special interest in the prevention of cognitive decline. I have been privileged to do the following advanced training over the last several years:

  • 2021 Kharrazian Institute Cognitive Decline & Alzheimer’s Disease Course 
  • 2021 Amen Clinics Professional Brain Health Certification Course
  • 2020-2021 ReCODE 2.0 training with Apollo Health and Dale Bredesen, M.D.
  • 2017 Advanced Clinical Training in Treating Mild Cognitive Impairment and Early Alzheimer’s Disease, Institute for Functional Medicine
  • 2016 The Bredesen Protocol™ Certified Practitioner, Buck Institute for Research on Aging with Dale Bredesen, M.D.

There is much to be done to prevent and reverse the early signs of memory loss and cognitive decline. I encourage you to schedule your annual “cognoscopy“ – the ultimate brain health checkup with me soon. This assessment is recommended for all adults 45 years of age and older, especially if you are having any brain fog or have a family history of Alzheimer’s disease in a parent, sibling, or grandparent. 

My Passion Project 

Congratulations on reading this far into my post! I will conclude by sharing a little bit about my passion project – The Joy Prescription. 

This outreach ministry will have a new niche going forward! We will be teaching and connecting with women in the fields of ministry and medicine. God has gifted each of us with unique and meaningful ways to serve Him and His beloved people. We intend for the Joy Prescription to be a supportive community of women in the fields of ministry and medicine. We will help each other grow, reconnect with purpose, cultivate health, and share the love of Jesus with the world.

Our mission is to equip one another with the knowledge, practical tools, and loving, grace-filled support we need to flourish in all spheres of our lives and callings.   

Our goal is to cultivate a vibrant and healing community for women in ministry and medicine through:  

  • Networking
  • Exchange of Ideas
  • Spiritual Formation
  • Soul Care Retreats
  • Holistic Health Education
  • Entrepreneurship, Business, and Leadership Training
  • The ultimate goal of our community is to support each other so that we can live with great purpose, joy, and fruitfulness for the Kingdom of God.

  • ACCESSING DIVINE WISDOM & DISCERNMENT
  • HEALING PAST TRAUMAS AND PATTERNS
  • INTEGRATING WORK-LIFE-FAMILY DYNAMICS

I am also in the process of launching a 501(c)3 organization to expand access to functional medical care for women in the fields of ministry and medicine, with a special focus on those with low income or financial hardship. We will provide holistic medical consultations and group lifestyle medicine coaching to help women address the root causes of chronic disease, build stress resilience, and cultivate vibrant health so that they can flourish. More to come on this, but if you are in a healthy place financially and would like to donate to this cause, please reach out to me and I can share more about our plans. 

You can reach me by emailing help@caringforthebody.org.

Thank you for staying connected and allowing me to fulfill my soul’s purpose in the work that we do together. 

May you be blessed with health, joy, flourishing relationships, and prosperity in all that you do, now and throughout the coming year and beyond!

Warm regards,

Cynthia Libert, M.D.
