Our Why & Integrative Modality
Root-Cause Healing
At Curious Integrative Wellness (CIW), we believe healthy people create healthy communities. Patients thrive when care extends beyond symptoms to address the root causes of issues across the nervous system, gut, brain, hormones, and metabolism, supporting lasting health and vitality.
Extended Care Team
We help patients heal and thrive by combining medical care with lifestyle, emotional, and metabolic support. Partnering with providers, CIW delivers a concierge-style integrative model blending functional medicine, neuroscience, psychology, and lifestyle medicine, extending your care team to foster resilience and long-term well-being.
Thriving With Vitality
Our vision is to transform health and healing by bridging medicine, neuroscience, and lifestyle. We empower individuals, providers, and communities to thrive with vitality, meaning, and resilience, creating a future where wellness is sustainable, integrated, and accessible to all.
Our Integrated Framework: The IHOPE™ Model
Our proprietary whole-person care system extends your reach and transforms patient outcomes.
The IHOPE™ Model organizes care across six interconnected domains:
- Heart (The Compass) – Builds emotional resilience & coherence.
- Brain (The Integrator) – Strengthens mindset & stress recovery.
- Nervous System (The Regulator) – Restores balance, sleep, & HRV
- Gut (The Healer) – Heals digestion & microbiome
- Body (The Storykeeper) – Supports movement & metabolic vitality
- Spirit (The Anchor) – Aligns purpose & long-term wellness
Through this system, CIW integrates coaching, precision medicine, Sacred Reset programs, IMMH services, and chronic disease prevention pathways as targeted interventions aligned with each domain.
The IHOPE™ Model prevents treating patients in fragments. A whole-person care system connects every program, lab, and coaching session, which enhances adherence, outcomes, and resilience.
