WholeHealth Chicago Wheaton

Home / WholeHealth Chicago Wheaton

We are thrilled to bring our services to the western suburbs!

We are a healthcare practice that strives to integrate the best of conventional and complementary medicine in a caring and healing environment. We believe that both health and disease are functions of physical, emotional, nutritional, and spiritual influences. Many health issues are rooted in a patient’s personal biography – the story of your life – and are most effectively treated by addressing root causes rather than symptoms alone.

Our Practitioners

Kelsie Lazzell

Kelsie Lazzell, DC, ND

Functional Medicine Physician

By supporting the basic naturopathic principle of working with the body versus against the body, Dr Lazzell is able to bring your body’s innate healing ability to the forefront. She works with general lifestyle modifications such as diet, movement, stress, and detoxification to optimize overall health while also being able to support you with higher interventions such as direct supplemental support, IV nutrients, and peptide therapy.

Utilizing advanced functional laboratory testing she is able to obtain a complete picture of how each body system is functioning, allowing her to see the overall dynamics of the body compared to individual moving parts.

Dr Lazzell has advanced training in chronic conditions such as mold/mycotoxicity, chronic viral infections like Epstein Barr, autoimmune conditions, and chronic fatigue. Due to working with such complex issues, she has a vast understanding of the contributing factors such as cortisol, thyroid, and hormones, digestive health and overall nutrient status. With her additional training as a chiropractor and certified acupuncturist, she is able to combined a true whole body approach to treatment.

Kristen Halland

Kristen Halland, DC, CCN, DABCA

Medicine Physician

Dr. Halland is a seasoned clinician specializing in Functional Medicine. Since beginning practice in 2010, she has placed emphasis on a whole-person lens to care and has a strong belief that an integrative, collaborative team care model will serve the patient best with her role being to exhaust the natural options as often as possible!

Dr. Halland is comfortable in general care from the natural perspective but has seen particular success in complex cases, the emerging covid long-haul and dysautonomia cases we're now seeing, and GI cases. She also has a special clinical interest in balancing female hormones naturally.

Health Tips

metalloids
HEAVY METAL TOXICITY (ESPECIALLY LEAD!) AND YOUR HEALTH

For those who might not have been paying attention that day in high school chemistry, the heavy metals refer to a group of dense metals or metal-like substances (called metalloids) found in the environment. These metals–specifically lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum–can all be absorbed by your body and stored there. Our environment is already […]

DEMENTIA
MORE STEPS TO PRESERVE YOUR BRAIN AND PREVENT DEMENTIA

High on the wish list (probably highest, actually) of a new patient coming into WholeHealth Chicago for “wellness” is not just “longevity” but “longevity plus ‘brains/wit/wisdom’” a la Betty White, Norman Lear, George Burns, late Chicago actor Mike Nussbaum.  So let’s talk “brain” and say you’re in one of these four situations: 1. There’s dementia […]

fecal smearing
MEDICAL STUFF YOU REALLY WANT TO ASK ABOUT, BUT DON’T.

Two or more women chatting together have no problems discussing when the topic comes to menstrual cycles, labor, delivery, a new gynecologist. Men, who visit doctors less often anyway, gab on about wrenched back muscles from a golf swing and a ‘great’ personal trainer. They’ll lower their voices an octave or two if the topic […]

Delay aging and Monitor Your Progress
Delay Aging and Monitor Your Progress

Most people figure they must be getting older based on how they feel and look. We wince at our first grey hair, deepening wrinkles, and shifting body fat. We huff and puff climbing the stairs, forget names, and occasionally leak fluids. We relate to the line from a Leonard Cohen song, “I ache in the […]

ONE OF THOSE REALLY INTERESTING COINCIDENCES…..

I had planned this vacation for a long time, and now I was having breakfast at my hotel in Tokyo, Japan, planning what sites I would be visiting. Suddenly, my eye caught an internet article in the Washington Post that held my chopsticks mid-air: “Travel Can Slow the Aging Process” The lead author, Fangli Hu, […]

gut
Repair Your Gut…Immediately

Last week, I talked about how naturopathic and functional medicine experts often start the healing journey (and aim to prevent future health issues) by focusing on the 30-foot digestive tract running from your mouth to your anus. The essence of good gut health is essentially how well you’re digesting, absorbing, and using the food you […]
