Featured Diagnostic: ZRT Sleep Balance Profile Diagnostic

By Lynn-Kettell Slifer | December 10, 2020

In a perfect world, the master stress hormone cortisol should be in sync with the master sleep hormone melatonin. Each hormone counter-balances the other in a precise rhythm – when cortisol is high melatonin should be low, and when melatonin is high cortisol should be low. For many, this rhythm is out of balance. With…

Featured Diagnostic: Spectracell Micronutrient Panel

By Lynn-Kettell Slifer | November 2, 2020

Before we can talk about the Spectracell Micronutrient Panel it is paramount to understand nutrient deficiencies. At least a third of the US population suffers from one or more nutrient deficiencies(https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/micronutrient-inadequacies/overview). With our stress filled, fast food focused lifestyles, that’s no surprise. The concerning part is that nutritional deficiencies, if left untreated, can result in…

Introducing our Acupuncturist, Olivia Gold

By Lynn-Kettell Slifer | October 13, 2020

I arrived at my first Acupuncture appointment exhausted and run down. I was in my first semester of college, and like many other freshmen- I was tired, stressed, and spreading myself thin. My parents had regularly visited our family friend and Acupuncturist, Kim, for their own health concerns. So they suggested that I go to see her.…

Lynn was incredibly thorough and helpful. I have been through many doctors in the last 10 years and Lynn has been the only person to not only accurately diagnose my disorder, but also effectively treat it. Two thumbs up!

Shellie Ferguson

Thoughtful, caring, professional and knowledgeable. Has met far beyond my expectations. I gathered information in only my first visit that I can use for a lifetime.

Kathy Waller

Health Partners LLC has been a FANTASTIC FIND! I was sick for so long and they knew exactly what to do to make me feel like myself again (and even better honestly.) Lynn was able to order the appropriate diagnostics, refer me for the imaging I needed, and then get me on the correct regimen of medication, supplements, diet, and more to help me get better. She actually took me OFF things...

Ganesh Place

Every experience that I have had with Health Partners has been positive. They go "above and beyond" to help me with my health concerns, finding answers to issues that other medical professionals could not provide. I am very grateful to have found them. I highly recommend their services.

Rachel Johnston

Going to Health Partners has been such a blessing for my family and I. Lynn helped me identify toxins as being the root cause of extreme fatigue and an irregular heart beat that I struggled with for over two years. She helped me evaluate stress, nutrition, environmental toxins, and many other things to get me back on my feet. Lynn truly cares about her patients! I always recommend Health Partners to anyone...

Concetta Cenac

I have had the best experience with Lynn and her staff since I came home from Mexico with a parasite. Because of a lifetime of infections and antibiotic use, I have dealt with digestive issues my entire adult life. I feel better now, after only 2 months, than I have in many years. At 69 years of age, I am more energy than most 30-year-olds. I am looking forward to a long-health restoring relationship with Lynn!

Vincent Rifino

Very professional and helpful!

Brian Wideman

Lynn is absolutely fantastic. I stopped going to my primary care physician after seeing Lynn. She doesn’t want to load you up on pills, she wants to help figure out the root cause to your ailments and fix them in a way that is better for your body. I have also lost 40lbs in 6 months since seeing Lynn.

Darcy Angers

Out of the blue, my normally healthy husband was diagnosed with two debilitating autoimmune disorders. His health declined rapidly to the point that he was so weak and in so much pain that he could barely function. He was referred to a rheumatologist who immediately prescribed injections of Humira, a biologic with a long list of extreme side effects. The doctor couldn’t explain to...

Stephanie Wideman

Lynn has helped me to manage stress, eliminate foods in my diet that were leading to weight gain and inflammation (and possible allergies), and teach me WHAT to eat. I have lost 30 lbs. under her care. She is knowledgeable and she listens to me when other doctors I have seen gave me a 10 minute appointment. She spent 2 hours with me on my first visit. Highly recommend!

Karen Owen

Lynn Kettell-Slifer really cares. Making my body work the way it was meant to through proper diet, nutrition, and using pharmaceuticals only when absolutely necessary is an approach that worked for me. The extensive blood testing went over and above what a typical doc would order and gave lots more information about my health to treat my underlying problem.
