Dr. Paris

Who is Dr. Paris?

Dr. Paris was one of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine pioneering physicians and has had the pleasure of working directly with Dr. Mark Hyman for over three years.  Seeing patients as part of diabetes and asthma clinical trials, teaching Functioning for Life shared medical appointments, medical students and residents, and caring for patients from all over the world was a typical day.

She has a personal interest in tribal medicine and trained in the Amazon rainforest. Indigenous traditional healing embodies a holistic approach and considers health as the sum of a person’s physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual well-being, as well as his or her place in the community.

She integrates functional medicine with osteopathic philosophy and Eastern medicine. 

When the heart is broken it communicates to the brain the world is not safe; the brain tells the cells to cut corners, creating disease.  When we heal the heart it communicates to the brain you are in a safe environment to heal. The brain then communicates to your cells it is ok to take the time to function properly. Trust is the foundation for healing illness and knowing your story is imperative for a successful healing journey.

What We Do

 

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine addresses the root cause of a person’s dysfunction and imbalance by an experienced clinician evaluating a person’s full life  history. Understanding what predisposed you and what factors accumulated resulting in your current symptoms. By addressing the root cause it is addressing you as a whole person.  Lifestyle, perceptions, environment and genetics are all intertwined. Clinical expertise, lab results, history and a collaborative partnership with you allows for healing and improved health.

What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative medicine can be used as an umbrella.  Acupuncture, chiropractics, osteopathic manipulation, massage, herbal therapies, homeopathy, health coaching, mindfulness, nutrition,  naturopathy, frequency specific micro-current and Functional medicine and others fall under this umbrella. Functional medicine addresses the root cause alleviating symptoms but more importantly allows your body to heal.  Using other integrative modalities listed in conjunction with Functional medicine can be very beneficial enhancing the healing process.

What is Optimal Wellness?

Achieving optimal health is a process of realistic goal setting and self-discovery focusing on emotional and physical well being. Per the World Health Organization, health is defined as a “state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Optimal well-being requires balance in the trio: mental, physical and spiritual.

FAQ’s about Payment

Is Dr. Paris taking new patients?

No. At this time she in no longer taking patients.

Do you take insurance?

No. 

Do you provide super bills?

No

Are there other out of pocket expenses?

Yes. During your journey with me, you should expect additional out-of-pocket expenses not covered by the membership or medical insurance.  These include advanced labs, supplements, compounded prescriptions, tech wearables, or other medical devices and therapies.

Why do you use a membership model?

The focus should be on healing and the healing journey.  I have found that the partnership works better when the payment concern has been addressed upfront. This frees you to focus on healing and not wonder if there will be some hidden upcharge down the road.  

Can I make payments over time?

No. Full payment must be received prior to starting your healing journey.

What is your refund policy?

No refunds are given once your medical history has been reviewed. 

FAQ’s about Products

Why do you offer brain tap?

I find that Brain Tap is an essential tool in limbic recovery and mind reset.  It is a passive and easy process.

Why do you recommend hydrogen therapy?

Hydrogen therapy works. Hydrogen crosses the blood-brain barrier and cell membranes easily.  It directly addresses oxidative stress and inflammation. 

FAQ’s about my Practice

How do you practice?

What makes my service unique is my approach and personal dedication.  You are not just a number or a person in a group.  You actually meet with me, one on one. I do not have medical assistants.  All communication is received by me and responded to by me.

This is a partnership and I encourage questions and a collaborative effort.  I treat you as a person and not just the labs.  I use my clinical expertise to determine the most effective and actionable labs.  I do not order all labs to treat labs. I order labs to take a deeper dive and understand contributing to your inflammatory state.  It is imperative that labs are combined with clinical expertise for the best outcomes.  Addressing abnormal labs must include understanding the underlying imbalance causing the abnormality. This approach is key to evaluating the root cause.

I use a systematic yet intuitive approach to functional medicine truly addressing mind, body, and spirit.

I have personally been treated for mold exposure and have utilized 98% of what I recommend for my patients.  What I ask you to do I have already done and found to be effective and of value.    

Where are you licensed to practice?

I am licensed to practice medicine in all fifty states plus DC.

I do NOT take patients in:
New York
New Jersey
Nebraska

Do I have to take your supplements, even if I can't afford them?

A critical part of your healing and care is the capacity for you to adhere to the treatment plan with quality supplements as outlined in your care plan. 

How long will it take for me to get better?

Typically one to two years.  This is highly dependent on your complexity and your ability to do the homework between visits, stay accountable.

At times you may need to be referred to a specialist in certain areas.

What is your approach to mold?

I have been trained in the Shoemaker and Neil Nathan approaches.  I have personally been treated by Dr. Nathan and fully agree with his approach.

I require all patients to read Dr. Nathan’s book Toxic and have their home evaluated for mold and VOC’s (I work closely with a few reputable and highly qualified companies).

Do you address Lyme disease?

No.  I either refer out to Lyme literate specialist or only address under Dr. Neil Nathan’s consultation.

Are you willing to collaborate with Dr. Neil Nathan?

Absolutely! Dr. Nathan is my ongoing mentor and colleague. This is an additional out-of-pocket expense that you arrange with Dr. Nathan.

What happens if I need to be referred out?

You will continue your healing journey with me and the other practitioner (not included in the membership cost).
