The Ups and Downs of Chronic Illness
REQUIRE Transformation
Not Just Management
Addressing The Fatigue, Fear, and Stress of Chronic Illness
is an Important Part of
Your Treatment Plan
We start with understanding the natural history of your health changes by reviewing a thorough intake, your current pile of labs (or identify those needed if you do not have current tests), your diet, your supplements (what's helped, what didn't), what you've tried already, what your goals are, what your priority list is (breaking down what you're feeling into layers of change we can work through).

You’ve tried everything and nothing is really changing your quality of life? You’re confused about all of the web-mavens and influencers anecdotal gimmicks, advice and sound bites? All of the claims with so many slickly marketed supplements are difficult to parse and figure out what will work together or work at all?
Systems medicine is the crux of care with Dr. Tracy. Understanding the complexity of how your body is regulating itself is the basis for developing an effective treatment plan.
We will review everything in the natural history of your illness cycle and figure out what synergy of treatment will help you move from chronicity and into better overall health.
Many new questions about how cancer is best treated have opened up recently. Part of how Dr. Hackett works with you is reviewing your options and helping you engage the right holistic care and team options for your unique case. She has developed a hybrid approach that will work parallel to your traditional oncology/medication choices. Her protocols are strictly East-West Functional Medicine, but this does include Iver-FenBen protocols.
She helps curate nutrition, supplementation, compounded substances, and dosing, which can be quite extensive. Your nutrition is a critical aspect of your care, since the primary focus of your treatment plan is keeping your blood cell counts and weight at healthy levels. Those are foundational to how you can continue your protocols, whether medication or chemo focused.
Acupuncture is an important aspect of care to help you heal and manage the stress of treatment and the emotional rollercoaster of dealing with cancer.
Only recently have latent viral and bacterial infections gained a measure of acknowledgement in the broader medical community. Tracking titres is important, but getting the results of you actually feeling better is the larger goal.
Viruses are parasites and must be dealt with from that perspective. Certain substances and combinations of substances can effectively undermine EBV. That constant feeling of flu-like symptoms is your body trying to fight off that latency. Let’s give it the boost it needs to get ahead of the virus.
The other aspect that must be considered is the overall robustness of your constitutional health. How we approach building you back to vibrant health is developed according to YOUR needs. It is not a formulaic, kitchen-sink, one-size-fits-all approach. We review your treatment history for understanding but also to avoid repeating things that didn’t work for you. We curate your current supplements, review your nutrition and sensitivities, the nature of your stress and fatigue patterns, and of course, your overall symptoms patterns.

The Lyme spectrum of infection or co-infections effect each patient differently. One commonality is the pernicious nature of the long-term effects of the latent infection and the degenerative impact on your tissues, vital systems, and your quality of life. Taking a fresh look at your history and symptoms along with a review of your course of treatment to date can help reveal a new way forward.

“But your labs are all normal. You’re fine. It’s in your head.” 
Lovely thing to say instead of just admitting they don’t know how to help you… Let’s change that into analyzing everything that you’re experiencing and find a path to healing.
Only recently have CFS, fibromyalgia, and other “mysterious” undiagnosed illness syndromes been attributed to latent viral and bacterial infections gained a measure of acknowledgement in the broader medical community.
Viruses are parasites and must be dealt with from the perspective of making your internal environment inhospitable to them. Certain substances and combinations of substances can effectively undermine their ability to opportunistically proliferate in the body or “find a home” there.
Other aspects that must be considered is the overall robustness of your constitutional health, how best to mitigate your inflammation picture, and map out the layers of resolution. It can be thought of as an archeological method of clearing layers of issues to free you from the effects of the patterns keeping you in poor health. Over time, illness becomes part of your identity to a degree which further cements it into your system. We work on that aspect as well.

Only recently have Long Covid syndromes and the complexity of the problem gained a measure of acknowledgement in the broader medical community.
Viruses are parasites and must be dealt with from the perspective of making your internal environment inhospitable to them. Certain substances and combinations of substances can effectively undermine their ability to opportunistically proliferate in the body or “find a home” there.
The primary consideration for resolution of your symptoms is reinforcing the overall robustness of your constitutional health. Disease progression is undermined and focused steps to mitigate the impacts on your body become apparent.
