Hormone Optimization
Throughout the aging process, the body’s natural hormone production declines. Optimizing hormone levels allows both men and women to regain their energy and vitality, with treatments tailored to the needs of each patient.
Dr. Tiffany utilizes evidence-based bioidentical hormone replacement therapies, such as BioTE hormone replacement pellets, custom compounded bioidentical hormones, and more to individualize treatments for maximum benefit.
Microbiome & Digestive Health
Microbiome health is central to optimal functioning of all organ systems because 80% of our immune system is in our gut! Dr. Tiffany works with her patients to identify the root cause of symptoms, which often involves using a multi-system approach: combining specialty microbiome testing, lifestyle-based treatments to include nutrition, and a blend of medications, nutraceuticals, and peptide therapies to repair and restore function.
Conditions Treated:
SIBO, Celiac Disease, IBS, Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, GERD, Food Allergies and Sensitivities, and more.
Regenerative Aesthetics
Dr. Tiffany takes wellness one step further, helping patients to look as good as they feel. With regenerative aesthetics like SkinPen® microneedling with PRP (platelet rich plasma) and more, Dr. Althaus uses evidence-based treatments to facilitate incredible results.
Environmental Medicine
Dr. Tiffany is a functional medicine expert, helping patients identify the cause of their symptoms and the nutritional and biochemical imbalances that contribute to illness.
Environmental triggers can often be an underlying culprit of illness. Dr. Tiffany looks at your entire environmental picture to identify & resolve potential triggers. Commonly treated conditions include environmentally-acquired illnesses (breast implant illness, mold toxicity, lyme disease, and environmental allergies). Utilizing cutting edge lab testing (including mold testing, MARCON testing, & other environmental exposure lab panels), she tailors interventions to the specific needs of each patient. A multi-faceted treatment approach is key, and treatments may include lifestyle changes, supplementation, and medications as necessary.
Dr. Tiffany seeks the most gentle but effective treatment options to help patients to restore balance to their body using the least invasive treatment possible.
Functional Nutrition
&
Food Intolerance
The body can react to foods in many different ways. Adverse food reactions can lead to distressing symptoms and chronic health conditions. Often times it is unknown exactly which food(s) may be the cause and testing can help identify the problematic foods. Removal of the reactive foods often results in resolution of symptoms.
Dr. Tiffany can help navigate this with you.
Food allergies and food sensitivities are abnormal responses to a food component triggered by the immune system in the form of immunoglobulins (IgE, IgG, IgA), representing either an immediate or delayed response. By collecting this data, Dr. Althaus creates an anti-inflammatory diet based on your specific immune response, to aid in identifying causes to symptoms.
Functional nutrition is the practice of considering every aspect of one's health, diet, and overall lifestyle when providing nutrition recommendations. This allows for a multi-system approach to “food as medicine” that interconnects every part of the body.
Autoimmune Disease
Autoimmune disorders represent some of today’s most rising prevalence of disease. Though not immediately life-threatening, these conditions impede on proper immune system function, and work against the body by attacking healthy cells, resulting in depleting quality of life. Symptoms often include chronic fatigue, brain fog, abnormal weight gain, joint or muscle pain, and other inflammatory responses. They’re the second most common cause of chronic illness in America.
Dr. Tiffany can help pinpoint your condition and improve your quality of life through integrative and evidence-based approaches, including nutritional assessments, specialty testing, nutraceuticals, medications, peptide therapies, and more.
Dr. Tiffany provides specialized expertise on autoimmune conditions. Commonly treated autoimmune conditions include Celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Lupus, and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
During your first assessment, Dr. Tiffany will listen to your story. Then, carefully and over time, she will help you choose the best possible treatment plan to restore health and balance to your body’s physical, mental and emotional systems.
Telemedicine
Finding knowledgeable and compassionate medical care in any community can be challenging, particularly when complex medical conditions are involved. Finding a well-trained integrative medical doctor in your area may be impossible. Telemedicine let’s you schedule a visit with Dr. Althaus and receive excellent medical care from the comfort of your own home!
During a telemedicine appointment, you can expect Dr. Tiffany to fully review your medical history and discuss all of your challenging health symptoms. She can order laboratory tests, review results, prescribe pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and lifestyle medicine.
If you need a physical examination or medical procedure and you do not live in the area, Dr. Tiffany can collaborate with your local, in-person medical team to make sure you receive the best care possible. To prevent fragmented care, Dr. Tiffany is always available to serve as your “health care coordinator,” ensuring that someone you trust is always there to support and help navigate your healthcare needs.
Whether you are an in-person patient or a telemedicine patient, her goal is the same: to provide you with the most comprehensive medical care that helps you attain your most optimal health.
