FAQ #2: What is Holistic or Naturopathic Medicine?

She essentially empowers the body to heal while simultaneously stop breaking the body down any further.
FAQ #4: How Exactly Does Michelle Honda Work with Clients?
A: Michelle is adamant about her patients understanding why their condition has developed and the process of reversal. Her first line recommendation is to help your body get what it needs through food. If you cannot get it through your diet, or the diet is far too low in essential nutrients, then supplements are recommended. And depending on the concern, herbs, herbal or homeopathic remedies may also be recommended. Also, in order to affect a cure, one must stop breaking down the body. This she feels is common sense – otherwise all of her great recommendations will help you but you may reach a plateau if you do not stop the cause of the existing problem.
Michelle will also help those that would benefit from reducing their medications – where applicable. She goes into great detail in this area since as mainstream medicine is aware of, drugs produce many more illnesses and imbalances in of themselves.
FAQ #5: What Takes Place During an Appointment with Michelle?
A: After taking a detailed health history prior to the appointment, Michelle spends quality time identifying the issues, compromised systems of the body, probable causes and best course of action to remedy it. The entire appointment is spent talking and educating clients on how your body, mind and lifestyle got them to the place they are also including what may have caused the problem. She will then address the diet, nutrition and lifestyle changes that will get you back on the road to good health and vitality. It all comes down to balance within the body and external environment.
FAQ #6: What will I Need to Do to Improve My Health?
A: You have to be willing to change your diet and lifestyle which could include bad habits and poor dietary choices. And if your normal eating patterns have been extremely deficient in necessary food nutrients, then extra supplementation will be required to correct major imbalances in the body.
You must also take responsibility for your health. In the vast majority of cases, you are the way you are because of the lifestyle and food choices you have made throughout your life. In order to gain a new vibrant level of health, you must change what you are doing. You must restore the optimal functioning of your body’s systems. A famous quote sums it up nicely here; “In order to have what you have not (vibrant health), you must do what you have not yet done (take better care of yourself)”.

FAQ #11: What Can I Expect from Working with Michelle?
A: Michelle has often expressed how in awe she is of the body’s capacity to heal and rejuvenate itself – and so quickly once it is properly supported.
Her style and way of doing things is straight forward and realistic. That being said, you can expect to improve your health in working with Michelle. She gets above average to great results for a high percentage of people – as long as they are compliant with the recommendations.
The majority of clients get good results to complete resolution to their problems within 4-6 appointments (4-6 months). Depending on the issue(s), it is not unusual to observe improvement within the first 1-4 weeks.
Something called “bio-individuality” states we are all different. We all have had multiple thousands of different things affect us during our lives – food, air, chemicals, experiences, stress, toxins, traumas, beliefs, genetics, injuries etc. Therefore we all respond differently to different things. As with pharmacology and surgeries there too are no guarantees. The same can be said for natural health care modalities.
Though as a generalization, what can be said with confidence is that natural options will not give you the dangerous side effects that chemical medications can. They will not work to “only manage” your condition and keep you dependent on medications for life. Natural health care options will however work to correct the cause where possible so you can restore your health and vitality and move on with your life – safely and naturally.
FAQ #12: When is a Good Time to consider Working with Michelle?
A: Two scenarios. Firstly, people who want to increase their quality of health and find out what they may be missing due to their diet and/or lifestyle.
Secondly: As long as you are ready, now is the best time. Your condition may either be relatively acute (few weeks to a year or so) to chronic and degenerative (5-30 year conditions). Do not expect something you have been dealing with for 10 years to go away 1-2 weeks. Having said that, most people start to feel more energy and increased vitality within 2 weeks of starting Michelle’s program. Working with Michelle is not a replacement for your medical doctor. She should be considered a great compliment to your health care and the future direction it takes.
