Functional Medicine
Understanding Root Causes for Holistic Health
Every system in our body is intricately connected, and thus, one can influence another. Therefore, even though you may come to us with gut issues, we will look into other systems, such as mental, emotional, spiritual, immune, cell mitochondria, hormones, microbiome neurotransmitters, elimination, and detox. You will receive holistic care from Cherish.
What is Cellular Healing?
We know that cells are the basic building blocks of our body and life. In essence, cellular healing focuses on the health and well-being of cells by helping the body heal itself through a functional medicine approach.
To illustrate, we all can understand the need for thousands of bricks to build a house. Cells are like those individual bricks of the house. The human body is made up of about 30 trillion cells, working together in harmony while carrying out specific functions that are vital for maintaining life, health, and well-being. Now, imagine if those bricks suffer physical damage, weathering, erosion, water damage, mold, etc.; the house will not be strong and may not be inhabitable.
Similarly, our cells may go through physical damage, injuries, exposure to environmental pollutants, toxins, chemicals, pathogens, parasites, infections, and poor maintenance, to name a few. Moreover, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of life are other inseparable components of health and well-being.
What are the Vital Functions of Cells?
Some of the vital functions of cells that are essential for the survival and functioning of our body include:
Cellular energy:
Energy production occurs as cells convert nutrients into ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) within the mitochondria, often called the cell’s powerhouse. If you’re feeling fatigued, cellular energy is one of the matrix nodes we examine.
Metabolism:
Our cells carry out metabolic processes, such as nutrient breakdown and regulating biochemical reactions, including protein, fat, and carbohydrates.
Communication:
It is fascinating that our cells talk to each other and respond to various stimuli through hormones, neurotransmitters, and nerve impulses.
Homeostasis:
Harmony and balance are maintained as cells regulate essential factors such as pH, temperature, water content, and ion concentration necessary for life.
Immunity:
Acting as the body’s defense, immune cells like white blood cells protect against pathogens and foreign substances.
Reproduction:
The remarkable ability of cells to reproduce supports growth, development, and the replacement of old or damaged cells. For instance, red blood cells are renewed every four months, and liver cells can regenerate within days or weeks.
Transport:
Individual cellular transport facilitates the movement of molecules, ions, and other substances through processes like diffusion, osmosis, and active transport. The circulatory and lymphatic systems then distribute nutrients, oxygen, and waste throughout the body.
Structural support:
Cells help maintain the structure of tissues and organs. Examples include collagen, elastin, bone-forming cells, muscle cells, nerve cells, epithelial cells, glial cells, and stromal cells. In intestinal permeability (leaky gut), we work to heal the intestinal epithelia cell lining along with immune cells.
The keys to cellular healing are to remove, restore, repair, reduce and rebalance at the cellular level.
Inflammatory + Autoimmune Support
Typically, our immune system protects us—it’s our body’s army friend. Nevertheless, when we are exposed to harmful triggers for a long time, leading to chronic inflammation, our immune system can no longer tolerate them. Instead of protecting us, our immune system starts to attack us through various mechanisms, leading to autoimmune illnesses. Autoimmune diseases affect millions of people worldwide. Interestingly, women account for about 80% of all autoimmune conditions, and four out of five autoimmune sufferers are women.
Fortunately, the good news is that inflammation and autoimmune conditions may be calmed down or reversed naturally through Cherish’s cellular healing individualized program. We have living proof.

Metabolic Syndrome Support
Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions that together increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and many other serious health problems. According to the NCEP guideline, you may have metabolic syndrome if you have any three of these conditions: increased abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides, or low good cholesterol. In the US, one out of three adults has metabolic syndrome.
The good news is that, for the most part, working with Cherish Functional Wellness may prevent or reverse these conditions.
✔ High Cholesterol
✔ Hypertension
✔ Hormonal Imbalance
✔ PCOS
✔ Low Testosterone
✔ Weight Resistance
✔ Insulin Resistance
✔ Pre-Diabetes and Diabetes
✔ Metabolic Syndrome
Gut Health Support
“Death begins in the gut.” Gut health refers to the well-being of the stomach, small and large intestine, and other associated organs. The gut hosts 70% of our immune system. A healthy gut is essential for overall health and plays a crucial role in food digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, and the microbiome (the community of microorganisms living in the gut).
The good news is that our comprehensive, personalized gut health protocol may mitigate many gut issues through lifestyle, immune support, advanced tests, and microbiome restoration.
Gut Health Issues Include:
✔ Heartburn, GERD, Acid Reflux
✔ Chronic Constipation or Diarrhea (IBS)
✔ Bloating
✔ Leaky Gut
✔ Food Allergies and Sensitivities
✔ Undernutrition and Malabsorption
✔ Hidden Bacterial, Fungal and Parasite Infections
✔ Dysbiosis and Microbiota Imbalances
✔ Diverticulosis
