Are you trying to optimize your health? Are you concerned about your family history? Do you want to lose weight, improve your cardiovascular risk, and prevent cancer? Are you trying to live more naturally or reduce your dependence on pharmaceutical drugs? Are you tired of getting another pill every time you go to the doctor? These consultations are for you.
Are you concerned about your health in the future or your family history? If you are willing to commit to doing everything you can to keep your bad genes turned off and your good genes turned on for health; have your genetic profile tested. We can then develop a Wellness Plan specific to your unique genetic makeup to help you prevent cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's and some cancers.
Are you concerned about your diet and how it's affecting or could potentially affect your health? Are you wondering what vitamins and supplements you may need? Sorting out the information you read and hear about in the media on vitamins and supplements is tough. I have received extensive training to help you find the right and highest quality supplements for you, through the University of Arizona's Integrative Medicine program. We offer testing of your vitamin, mineral and antioxidant levels to help target and treat deficiencies and prevent future problems. Vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies have been shown to suppress the functions of the immune system which can contribute to chronic and degenerative conditions.
Many women struggle for years with mild to severe symptoms from peri-menopause through menopause. In our current world, we are exposed to many toxins that are called endocrine disruptors. Your endocrine system is responsible for making and utilizing your hormones correctly. Due to endocrine disruptors, many women are not able to make the correct balance of hormones. Having unbalanced hormones can make you susceptible to cancers, especially female cancers. Hormone testing is also available for men.
Do you have elderly or chronically ill loved ones and are concerned about their health? Do you feel you lack a full understanding of their current condition, treatments and options? Do your loved ones have multiple health care providers that may not be regularly communicating with one another? Are you bothered by how many medications your loved ones are taking? Andrs Wellness Consulting can be a liaison for you, your loved one and their health care providers and provide you with an easy-to-understand explanation of conditions, treatment and options. The ability for a provider to see the entire picture about a patient's condition is critical to achieving optimal outcomes.
Toxins are in our air, food, body, household and industrial products. We are exposed to toxins on a daily basis and this is a growing concern for our health. Exposure to toxins can contribute to acute or chronic problems with our immune, nervous and hormone systems. Toxins are stored in our fat and may be passed on to future generations. We can do an environmental assessment and testing for your body's toxicant load.

Very disappointed with the customer relations, I am dealing with a serious medical condition and they are the only people in town who offer a specific IV I require to heal, I waited months for an appointment, then when I called to confirm they Dr. Andrs told me the appointment didn't exist in their system because they hadn't received payment in advance but no one asked me for payment when I booked.
I asked her to call me to clear it up, she didn't and when I called they cut me off in the middle of the message and I was disconnected. It's difficult enough dealing with Dr's and finding your support team when dealing with with a serious cancer diagnosis and this type of treatment was extremely hurtful. It's probably for the best though because if their attitude is to blame the patient for their own errors I doubt the medical care I would receive would meet my standards. Richmond is growing and soon there will be many more Naturopathic Dr's to choose from who have better client care standards.

Kristin pays special attention to your every concern, complaint, and symptom. She never dismisses anything you say. She spends time listening and analyzing, and offers the best plan of treatment for your condition. She works with natural and prescription meds depending on your need. I feel comfortable with Kristin and am confident under her care. Her staff always makes you feel welcome.

I had not had a good nights sleep in over three years. Ms. Andrs took a detailed set of tests along with a careful interview to understand my personal situation. She made a detailed plan for work, exercise, rest along with a change to my diet. After 6 weeks I experienced a big increase in my ability to sleep. I feel much better. I strongly recommend Andrs Wellness Consulting to those that want to feel better.

As a patient of Kristin's for a year and a half now, the first thing that I was grateful to her for was her honest, genuine concern. She takes her time at every appointment with me as if I am her only patient. She offered knowledgeable and helpful solutions that fit my lifestyle. I felt completely comfortable to be honest with her, knowing that she's wants only to help me the best way she can.
She has been there for me through email, in person, and even sometimes on her own personal time. She truly goes above and beyond her job to make sure I am getting optimum care. I trust her suggestions and value her opinion. I would highly recommend her.
