Holistic Medicine Practitioner near Huntington, WV
You've had the bloodwork done, and everything came back fine. But you're still dragging through the afternoon, sleeping badly, and watching the scale creep up no matter what you change.
That's often because a standard panel reads each number on its own. We look at how your hormones, thyroid, food, sleep, and stress affect one another, and then we show you which one to work on first.
Book My Consultation Patients rate us 5.0 on Google Read what they sayWhat Does a Holistic Medicine Practitioner Do?
A holistic medicine practitioner looks for the reasons behind your symptoms instead of treating each one as a separate problem. At Total Health Pros, that starts with a confidential talk about your symptoms, history, and goals. Lab work comes in only when a result would change what we do next.
If You've Already Been Checked Out in Huntington
Huntington has two large hospitals, Cabell Huntington Hospital and St. Mary's Medical Center, so you may have already had a full standard workup there. If it came back normal and you still don't feel right, those results aren't wasted. They tell us what's already been ruled out, so your visit can start from there.
Jennifer Ranson, a family nurse practitioner on our team, earned her master's in nursing at Marshall University.

How We'd Look at the Symptoms You're Living With
It's easy to brush off one symptom on its own. When a few show up together, though, they usually point somewhere we can test or track, and here's how we'd look at each one:
- Tired most days, whatever you tryWe start with your timeline. Fatigue has so many possible causes that it makes more sense to test the ones that fit your story.
- Weight that won't moveA 3D body composition scan separates fat from lean mass, which can show you progress the scale hides.
- Hot flashes, night sweats, or broken sleepHormone changes in perimenopause or menopause could be behind them, and women's hormone balancing starts by testing to find out.
- Lost drive or strength, for menLow testosterone is one possible cause, and testing comes well before anyone mentions testosterone replacement therapy.
- Brain fog or low motivationWe look at your sleep and your hormones together, since the two often go hand in hand.
When several of those show up at once, your consultation looks at them side by side.

You don't have to piece your care together from different offices, because most of it happens at our clinic in Teays Valley. Your plan pulls from whichever of these areas your body needs:
- Hormones and lab workThis includes bioidentical hormone therapy, thyroid support, and hormone lab testing, through our medical clinic services.
- Men's healthYou get private visits about energy, strength, mood, and libido, and a close look at low testosterone.
- Weight and metabolismOur weight loss service pairs a food plan you can repeat with coaching and body scans.
- Nutrition and natural supportSupplement reviews, nutrition counseling, and gut support come from the alternative medicine side of the clinic.
- Coaching and preventionOur wellness center adds energy recovery programs and preventive health risk screening.
How We Test Hormones for Women and Men
Because hormones are so often part of the picture, we test before we treat. Here's what a panel can include:
For women
Hormone levels often shift in perimenopause and menopause, bringing hot flashes, a lower sex drive, or weight gain.
- Progesterone
- Estrogen
- Testosterone
- Thyroid
- DHEA
- IGF-1
For men
Fatigue, lost muscle tone, and a low mood can come from more than one of these, so we check them together.
- Testosterone
- Thyroid
- Cortisol
- Estrogen
- DHEA
- IGF-1
IGF-1, on both lists, is a marker of growth hormone. For men, we draw testosterone early in the morning, and when a result needs confirming, we repeat the test before deciding anything.

Food, Your Gut, and Your Supplements
If bloating, cravings, or that slump after lunch keep coming back, FoodAlign testing can pin down your triggers, and it comes with a plan for cutting back on them. From there, functional nutrition counseling works with you one on one. The goal is meals that support your energy, metabolism, and hormones.
And if your cabinet is full of supplements you're not sure about, a supplement protocol consultation checks what you're taking against your symptoms. Then it builds a routine that makes sense for you. When you need to restock, Thorne supplements are available through our online shop.

Book My ConsultationWhen Stress and Sleep Are the Real Problem
Stress that never lets up rarely stays in your head. Over time, it can show up as broken sleep, cravings, and energy that's gone by mid-afternoon. Our stress reduction and mind-body coaching gives you practical tools you'll actually keep using.
If stress-related symptoms keep coming back, cortisol support adds recovery strategies on top of that. And if sleep is the weak spot, a natural wellness strategy session looks at your sleep, your stress resilience, and your nutrition together.
Biofeedback and progress monitoring gives you proof that it's working. It starts with baseline readings, such as your stress and recovery trends and your breathing pace. Repeat check-ins then show the trend, so you're not left guessing whether the relaxation practice is paying off.

What Getting Started Looks Like
After your first conversation, we put together a plan for your hormonal, nutritional, and wellness needs. It turns into clear steps you can follow, which might include treatments, supplements, and changes to your routine.
Wellness goal planning and coaching can also turn a big goal into a short list for each week.
What Happens at Your Follow-Ups
Your follow-ups start with what's improved since your last visit, what's stalled, and anything new. Your symptoms, your habits, and any fresh results decide what changes next.
Your first step is one conversation about how you've been feeling.

Questions People Ask Before a First Visit
How long is the first visit?
Plan on 30 to 60 minutes, all of it confidential. That leaves time to talk through what's been going on without rushing.
How will I hear about my lab results?
We go through them with you, test by test. Each number gets tied back to the way you've been feeling, so you're not left decoding a printout.
What if I only want help with one thing?
That's completely fine. Tell us what bothers you most, and your plan starts there. If other pieces turn out to be connected, we'll show you how before adding anything.
I'm already active. Can you still help?
Yes. Dr. VanScoy has worked with Olympic and NCAA athletes, and he's a certified personal trainer. If you're training hard and still feel stuck, we'll look at your recovery, nutrition, and hormones together.
I'm out of shape. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Lifestyle and exercise program design starts from your current fitness level, your goals, and your schedule. The aim is a routine you'll actually keep.
Are there ways to save?
Yes. When you sign up for the Total Health Pros app, you get $25 toward any service. The app also has rewards, memberships, packages, and financing.
