Dr. Cassitty takes a patient-centered approach by addressing the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. This means that she spends time with her patients, listens to their histories and looks at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. Dr. Cassitty believes that this approach supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual. Her approach to nutrition therapy is to emphasize the importance of high-quality foods and nutrient diversity to address clinical imbalances and move individuals toward the highest expression of health. Dr. Cassitty’s goal is to create personalized therapeutic interventions to promote optimal health and prevent diet- and lifestyle-related disease.
