Approach to Chronic Complex Illness

Restoring Coherence When the Body’s Systems Lose Connection

Chronic illness is rarely the result of a single cause. It emerges when communication between the body’s systems begins to break down. Over time, the dialogue among the immune, nervous, endocrine, and metabolic networks becomes distorted, and the body loses its ability to regulate, repair, and renew.

At Just Be Well, we call this the Host PASI response—the way the body adapts to prolonged stress, infection, toxicity, and trauma. Understanding that response is the key to recovery.

From Root Cause to Systems Clarity

Root Cause Medicine looks for the origin of imbalance rather than chasing symptoms. In complex conditions such as chronic fatigue, post-infection syndromes, neuro-immune dysregulation, or multi-system inflammation, there is rarely a single trigger. Instead, multiple small imbalances converge to create a loss of coherence.

Our precision approach identifies those interacting causes by mapping how fourteen Host PASI domains have been affected. These domains describe where the body’s adaptive systems are overloaded—mitochondria, microcirculation, detoxification, gut-immune signaling, endocrine rhythm, and nervous system regulation. Once those patterns are visible, we can restore communication rather than continuing to suppress symptoms.

The Ten Healing Fields

Healing is not linear. It unfolds through predictable phases that we call the Ten Healing Fields. These include Orientation, Regulation, Energy, Flow, Resolution, Release, Dialogue, Integration, Precision, and Regeneration. Each field represents a functional capacity the body must recover on its way back to health.

By aligning interventions with these fields, we help the body remember how to heal itself. This framework allows treatment to evolve as physiology changes—moving from stabilization to repair, from repair to renewal, and finally to regeneration.

Precision in Practice

Your care begins with deep assessment—advanced laboratory testing, metabolic analysis, autonomic measures, and comprehensive history mapping. From there, we build a layered plan that includes:

• Nutrition and detoxification strategies to clear metabolic interference

• Mitochondrial and endothelial support for energy and circulation

• Microbiome and immune regulation to restore communication

• Nervous system balancing through HRV, breath, and movement practices

• Regenerative and restorative therapies when indicated

• Emotional and somatic work to complete the Healing Fields of Release and Integration

Each step is guided by data, observation, and your lived experience.

The Functional Medicine Difference

Functional Medicine sees the body as an intelligent system capable of self-correction when communication is restored. Precision Medicine provides the tools to measure and direct that process. Together, they form a model of care that treats the person, not the diagnosis.

The Precision Approach to Chronic Complex Illness is not about chasing every symptom. It is about identifying the points where coherence was lost and reestablishing the patterns that sustain health.

When communication returns, healing follows.
