As we step into 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the health trends that have transformed the way we approach wellness. At Turnpaugh Health, we remain committed to staying at the forefront of integrative and functional medicine, offering innovative treatments and personalized care to help our patients thrive. From cutting-edge therapies to practical lifestyle solutions, here are the top 24 health trends that shaped this past year and will continue to shape the future of health and vitality in the year ahead:
Chronic fatigue is often multifactorial, involving dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and low-grade inflammation. At Turnpaugh Health, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools to uncover these underlying issues and implement targeted therapies, such as adaptogenic herbs, mitochondrial support supplements, and stress-modulating interventions to restore energy production and overall vitality.
Hormones act as critical regulators of aging, affecting everything from cellular repair to metabolic function. By analyzing detailed hormone panels, Turnpaugh Health customizes bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to optimize hormonal balance. This approach, combined with lifestyle and dietary strategies, helps mitigate the effects of aging, including fatigue, weight gain, and cognitive decline.
Emerging research highlights the bidirectional communication between the gut microbiota and the central nervous system. At Turnpaugh Health, we leverage this knowledge by addressing microbial imbalances, leaky gut syndrome, and neuroinflammation with precision therapies, including pre- and probiotics, polyphenol-rich diets, and gut-healing protocols, to improve cognitive function and emotional well-being.
Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS) involve immune-mediated inflammation affecting the basal ganglia. Our comprehensive approach includes immunomodulation, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and advanced microbial therapies to manage symptoms and improve outcomes in affected children.
Intravenous (IV) therapies allow for high bioavailability of nutrients and compounds that support cellular function. NAD+ therapy, for example, enhances mitochondrial function, promotes cellular repair, and reduces oxidative stress, making it an effective tool for detoxification and immune system optimization.
Ozone therapy leverages the oxidative potential of ozone gas to stimulate the immune system and increase oxygen utilization at the cellular level. At Turnpaugh Health, we employ ozone therapies to address chronic infections, reduce systemic inflammation, and support tissue regeneration in patients with conditions such as Lyme disease and mold toxicity.
Metabolic dysfunction, including insulin resistance and dyslipidemia, is a precursor to chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Turnpaugh Health integrates functional testing with interventions such as intermittent fasting protocols, nutraceuticals like berberine, and exercise programs to improve metabolic flexibility and overall health.
Nutritional genomics has illuminated the profound impact of diet on gene expression and disease prevention. Our approach involves tailoring nutrient-dense meal plans and recipes rich in bioavailable vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients to support cellular function, reduce inflammation, and optimize overall health.
Chemical exposure from household products and personal care items can disrupt endocrine function and contribute to toxic burden. We guide patients in adopting evidence-based low-toxicity practices, recommending alternatives free from endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and emphasizing detox-supportive lifestyles.
Collective health initiatives provide motivation and accountability. Programs like our 31-day sugar detox educate participants on the biochemical impact of added sugars and support them with strategies to reduce sugar dependence, improve insulin sensitivity, and foster long-term dietary changes.
Mental health is intricately connected to physiological factors such as inflammation, gut health, and neurotransmitter balance. At Turnpaugh Health, we combine advanced testing with therapies such as omega-3 fatty acids, adaptogens, mindfulness techniques, and Virtual Reality Therapy to promote a balanced mood and reduced stress levels.
Advanced imaging technologies, such as Prenuvo scans, provide a non-invasive way to detect early-stage diseases and monitor organ health. These scans allow us to tailor preventive strategies, enabling patients to address potential health issues before symptoms arise.
Regenerative medicine harnesses the body’s natural repair mechanisms through the use of growth factors and stem cells. At Turnpaugh Health, we offer therapies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and exosome treatments to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation in conditions like osteoarthritis and chronic injuries.
Autoimmune diseases often involve chronic activation of the immune system, leading to tissue damage. Our protocols include the Autoimmune Paleo (AIP) diet, targeted immunomodulators, and therapies like low-dose naltrexone (LDN) to reduce inflammation and restore immune balance.
Cupping therapy promotes myofascial release, increases circulation, and aids lymphatic drainage. Our approach combines traditional cupping techniques with an understanding of musculoskeletal dynamics to relieve pain, reduce stress, and enhance recovery from physical strain.
Functional labs go beyond standard blood tests, offering insights into nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and inflammatory markers. These data points enable our clinicians to create precise interventions that address root causes and promote optimal health outcomes.
The liver plays a central role in detoxification and metabolic regulation. Our Hepato Health supplement includes evidence-based ingredients such as milk thistle and alpha-lipoic acid to enhance liver function, reduce oxidative stress, and support detox pathways.
Neuroinflammation is increasingly linked to conditions like depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Turnpaugh Health addresses this through anti-inflammatory protocols, including omega-3 supplementation, curcumin extracts, and therapies targeting the blood-brain barrier.
Fertility issues are often rooted in hormonal imbalances, oxidative stress, and nutrient deficiencies. Our integrative fertility programs combine advanced diagnostics with interventions such as inositol, CoQ10, and tailored dietary plans to improve reproductive health.
Chronic pain is closely associated with systemic inflammation. By designing anti-inflammatory diets that include omega-3-rich foods, antioxidants, and low-glycemic index carbohydrates, we help patients manage pain and improve mobility without relying solely on medications.
Sustainable weight management requires addressing the root causes of weight gain, such as insulin resistance and chronic stress. Our SWiM program incorporates metabolic testing, behavioral counseling, and customized nutrition plans to ensure long-term success.
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) caused by mold exposure is a complex condition requiring a multi-pronged approach. Turnpaugh Health utilizes advanced mold testing, binders such as activated charcoal, and immune-supportive therapies to aid recovery and reduce inflammation.
Stress and anxiety can dysregulate the HPA axis, leading to cascading health effects. We teach evidence-based techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing, mindfulness practices, and adaptogenic supplementation to help patients manage stress effectively.
Healthy aging is about more than longevity—it’s about quality of life. Our Livegevity program combines advanced diagnostics, hormone optimization, and targeted therapies to support cognitive function, physical vitality, and emotional resilience as patients age.
Turnpaugh Health is here to guide you every step of the way on your journey to optimal wellness. Whether you’re exploring new therapies, looking for personalized support, or simply seeking inspiration for a healthier lifestyle, our team is dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. Together, let’s make 2025 a year of vibrant health, meaningful progress, and lasting vitality.
