Our Science
A holistic, gut and energy-centric approach to health that addresses the root causes of dysfunction.

The foundation of our approach to health and healing
Each compound serves a distinct and indispensable role in the body, creating energy, structure, communication signals, and everything in between. This is life, in a nutshell.
Energy: The Ultimate Root Cause
At the center of all of this is energy. The exchanges in this system depend on energy. Without energy, nothing works. That's why energy is the ultimate root cause, and supporting it is the foundation of a truly holistic approach.
The interconnected web of health
Any disruption in these interconnected reactions can lead to an excess or deficiency of another compound, which in turn affects others, creating a cascade of imbalances. When that happens, our body cannot support its fundamental functions, and our health suffers.
The interdependent nature of the system means that nearly any symptom or condition can arise depending on where the disruptions occur, what causes it, and how the body responds. Seemingly unrelated issues may, in fact, be deeply connected.
Our View of Health and Disease
Our approach to understanding and addressing health issues. Tap any layer to see how it drives the ones below it.
Original causes. These factors can directly drive the actions in the middle 3 layers. For example, a poor diet can lead to impaired energy metabolism by not supplying energy generating nutrients. We make sure to address these as they fundamentally control all biological processes.
The key intermediate and the cause of everything else. Impaired energy metabolism makes us more susceptible to the factors in the above layer, and results in everything in the below layers. If energy metabolism doesn't work properly, everything else falls apart. This is our main focus.
These processes drive the more precise issues in the bottom two layers, depending on where, when and to what extent they take place. We also put a heavy emphasis on this layer as key intermediate causes of health issues.
Molecular, cellular and biochemical changes that often directly result in a symptom or disease. This is what conventional medicine focuses on. These are not root causes, but consequences of the above layers.
All diseases and symptoms are the result of the factors in the above layers.
Different symptoms, the same causes underneath
Conventional wisdom is that for each of the manifestations in the lower layers, you need a different expert, a different solution, presumably because they are all driven by different causes.
At Prism, we recognize that while the manifestations are unique and divergent, the causes remain consistent. What causes the manifestations to change is the individual's circumstances. We focus on the higher layers as it pertains to your case, and this gives us the power to address a wide range of conditions and symptoms.
Key Principles
- Focus on root causes, not symptoms
- Understand the interconnected nature of health
- Prioritize energy production and gut health
- Address the whole system, not isolated parts
Our Three Pillars
The core underlying root causes of all health issues
Gut Health
The gut is so much more than a hub for digestion. It's the epicenter of our immune system and its breakdown is the main driver of chronic inflammation throughout the body.
Read moreStress
It's not in your head. Hormones, metabolism and the nervous system all have distinct adaptations that underpin the biological process of stress.
Read moreThyroid and Energy
Our mitochondria are ground zero for our body's metabolism. A focus on their energy generating processes, with thyroid hormones playing the most central role, is paramount to any long term health strategy.
