If you’ve recently picked up Good Energy by Dr. Casey Means, you’re probably feeling inspired by the deep dive into metabolic health and how energy production within your body impacts everything from brain function to weight regulation. The book is an incredible resource for understanding why metabolic health is key to living your best life, but what about the how? That’s where Upstream Functional Medicine in Colorado Springs comes in.
At Upstream, we take Dr. Means’ revolutionary insights and bring them into action. We bridge the gap between understanding the science behind metabolic health and applying it to real, personalized strategies that fuel your well-being. Here’s how we make it happen:
1. From Insight to Action: Upstream’s Testing Makes It Personal
Dr. Means’ book explains the why—why metabolic health matters, how energy is produced, and how it impacts every system in the body. But how do you take these concepts and apply them to your individual health journey? That’s where our comprehensive testing comes in.
Through advanced testing, we’re able to measure your metabolic markers, nutritional status, and overall health in ways that take you from the theory into the practice of improving your health. At Upstream, we go beyond the basic metrics. We dig deep to identify potential root causes, pinpointing imbalances that could be affecting your energy, gut health, and more.
The result? You’re not just reading about metabolic health. You’re actively engaging with it through actionable data tailored to your body.
2. Personalized Health Plans—Because One-Size Doesn’t Fit All
One of the pitfalls of generic health advice is that it assumes everyone is the same. You might read about popular diets, exercise regimens, or supplements, but the truth is, we are all unique. Metabolic health doesn’t operate on a one-size-fits-all model. That’s why at Upstream, we work with you to create a health plan that is personalized, based on real data and the specifics of your health.
Whether you need help optimizing nutrient absorption, balancing your hormones, or supporting detoxification, we tailor every step to your body’s needs. We combine Dr. Means’ principles with targeted solutions designed just for you.
3. Tracking Progress with Real Data, Not Guesswork
Anyone who’s ever tried to improve their health knows the frustration of relying on guesswork. Maybe you’ve tried different strategies—whether through diet, exercise, or supplements—but you’re not sure what’s actually working. Tracking progress is crucial, and that’s where we stand apart.
At Upstream, we offer the ability to track your progress over time using comprehensive testing. From measuring nutrient levels and metabolic function to monitoring your inflammation and stress markers, you’ll get a clear picture of how well your body is responding to the changes you’re making. No more guessing—just real, actionable data that informs every decision.
