Why Choose UpCurrentFM?


DEVOTION

Your provider will relentlessly explore root causes because she knows that there is always an explanation for every symptom. Your provider will take great care to learn about the nuances of your life (nutrition, sleep, movement, stress, faith, environmental exposures, traumas, etc.) to help determine YOUR unique root causes. Your provider will equip you with knowledge, practical tools, support, and encouragement to help guide you in your healing journey.
