What if we focused more on the conditions for creating health rather than treating disease with prescription medications and medical procedures? This simple change in perspective is the foundation of functional medicine and fitness: addressing the root causes of chronic ailments. It’s also the wellness philosophy that Health Cellutions in north Scottsdale embraces.

Dr. Brian Thompson founded the one-of-a-kind health and performance studio in 2020 to offer non-invasive programs to provide result-oriented “cellutions” to encourage regeneration and recovery of the whole body. The studio combines biological knowledge with cutting-edge technology to create an environment where the body’s natural healing ability takes over. Through various services, Health Cellutions works to address and eliminate the underlying causes of pain instead of only managing symptoms.

“With functional medicine and fitness, our diagnosis doesn’t stop at the symptom or illness level,” says Dr. Thompson, the studio’s director. “We continue to peel away the layers to identify the source of that symptom or illness, almost always at the cellular level.

“If we address the root cause,” continues Dr. Thompson, “whether it be metabolically with hormones or the thyroid or a pinched nerve through the spine of the muscle or a previous injury, the symptoms disappear.”
