What is a chronic disease?

Chronic diseases generally have no cure and last for years or your entire life. Chronic diseases usually require ongoing medical oversight and may limit your daily activities.

Conventional medicine support for chronic disease usually involves pharmaceuticals and invasive treatments. At Alma Vida, you find natural solutions for the treatment of chronic diseases.

Dr. Rich-Mazzeo, DNP, APRN and her team provides support for chronic diseases, including:

  • Autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus
  • Hypertension

  • Diabetes
  • Hormone Imbalances
  • Fatty liver
  • Pancreatitis
  • Digestive Problems

She considers the lifestyle, environmental, social, and genetic factors that contribute to chronic illness. By focusing on the five pillars of health— nutrition, mentorship, detoxification, hormones, and physical fitness—you can help improve symptoms by addressing the underlying conditions contributing to the progression of the disease.
