Hi!
My name is Auspria Wade.

I’m a physician assistant, who is passionate about health and wellness.
Over the past 14 years, my background has been primarily
practicing family medicine. My life was forever changed when I delivered
my daughter at 35 weeks, 5 weeks early. She was just a little over
3 pounds and spent 21 days in the NICU. My personal experience
allowed me to do some self-reflection. “I thought I was healthy."
Looking back I was working long hours in a stressful environment,
driving 45 minutes one-way to work, and eating a not-so-healthy diet.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve learned as well as applied information that not only helped my daughter and me but my patients as well.
The principles of Functional, Integrative, and Lifestyle Medicine
are of great value.

Integrative
Medicine
Integrative medicine combines both conventional medicine with natural and holistic practices that are science-based. This type of care focuses on making lifestyle changes through nutrition, supplements, exercise and mind-body techniques, such as sleep and stress reduction. These techniques are often used in conjunction with conventional medicine treatments, such as medications.
Functional
Medicine
Functional medicine is a personalized and integrative approach to healthcare which involves determining the root causes of disease. The goal is to remove what the body doesn't want and provide the necessary nutrients that it does to promote a healthy life. A healthy life is not defined as simply an absence of disease, but rather that of feeling your best. Functional medicine does not reject conventional/traditional medicine, instead it uses conventional medicine as a foundation on which to add new dimensions in the evaluation, management and prevention of chronic disease.
