The Bisset Method
To Restore Balance & Optimal Health
Each treatment plan is highly tailored to a person’s individual needs.
What seems universal is that people seeking to overcome health challenges in the conventional setting often feel unheard, frustrated or confused about what or who to believe. They have tried many things only to come up short. Often what is missing is someone to take the time to get to know the person, and not just focus on the health complaint.
Swallowing a pill usually won’t fix the problem.
Dr. Jenny Bisset’s approach to healing chronic health issues involves a unique fusion of Chinese Medicine + Functional Medicine + Coaching that is called The Bisset Method.
This is a comprehensive and empowering process to restore balance and vibrant health to the whole system.
The Bisset Method
Chinese Medicine + Functional Medicine + Coaching Support
Chinese Medicine
Root cause diagnosis, ancient techniques including acupuncture, herbal medicine, moxa, cupping, qi gong, tai chi and food therapy.
Functional Medicine
Root cause diagnosis, science-based lab testing, lifestyle modifications around mindset, food, sleep and exercise. Targeted supplements may be used.
Coaching Support
1:1 coaching support to help patients succeed for the duration of the program and beyond.
Most chronic health issues such as chronic stress, digestive and skin conditions are caused by more than one factor. Trying only one approach at a time may only address part of the problem, or it may be just a band-aid for symptoms without addressing the root causes. This is why you may not have found a lasting solution.
Many factors must be assessed then addressed in the correct order to reach the root of the issue, including mindset, nutrition, sleep, movement and stress management to name a few. If not, true healing may be impossible to achieve.
The Bisset Method uses multiple modalities to discover and address the underlying factors causing chronic health complaints. A finely tuned personalized program, along with coaching, can help you get to where you want to be.
The Power of Fusion
The Bisset Method is a powerful and comprehensive one-stop shop for healing the root cause of chronic health conditions.
Chinese Medicine & Functional Medicine both:
- Help you feel better in the moment
- Strive to get to the root and restore the natural functions of the body’s systems
- Believe that disease happens in stages, and that imbalances can be detected early on to prevent the manifestation of serious disease
- Recognize multi-factorial drivers of disease (including food choices, emotional stress, environmental toxins, hormone imbalances and gut dysfunction)
- Recognize that treatment must be multidimensional
- Use natural remedies to resolve symptoms
- Have the goal to prevent future disease to achieve long-term balance
The focus of care is different from conventional medicine, but can be used side-by-side.
Conventional medicine is more suitable for acute emergency care or injuries, and tackles problems with drug based therapies or surgeries. Chinese & Functional Medicine work well for complex chronic conditions because they are holistic – they consider all aspects of the person’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and how imbalances in any one area can affect a person’s overall well being.
The conventional system is not set up to treat the chronic illness epidemic in our country, nor does it focus adequately on preventative care. Gut problems, low energy, metabolic diseases, hormone imbalances, autoimmune conditions and nutrient deficiencies are just a few examples of complex conditions that take time and patience to unravel and correct. This is what Functional & Chinese Medicine are designed to do.
Imagine a tree: in order to help the tree grow, flourish, bloom and bear fruit, the basic foundation of the tree – the roots and soil – must be kept healthy. Similarly in Chinese & Functional Medicine, you need to look to the basic elements first – nutrition, sleep, movement, stress, genetics, environment – the roots and soil of a person, and work to optimize them to treat or prevent problems. Sometimes very simple changes can have profound effects.
The main question should be “Who is this person?” not just “What is this disease?”
Ultimately Dr. Jenny Bisset wants to understand all of the upstream factors causing the imbalances in this person, whether emotional or physical, so that she can help restore balance and function to create lasting health. Learning how these health imbalances occurred is the first step, and the key to future prevention.
Her treatments are tailored to each individual, using natural and behavior-based therapies, treating whole systems that are out of balance. Treatment plans integrate many modalities.
In Chinese Medicine you may experience herbal formulas or be referred for acupuncture, cupping or moxibustion, or become familiar with age-old philosophies about food therapy or moderate lifestyle practices to help you get well and stay well.
In Functional Medicine Dr. Bisset will employ functional lab testing, lifestyle upgrades to sleep, stress management, nutrition and movement, along with targeted herbs or supplements. In some cases she will work alongside a primary care MD for prescriptions if necessary. In her practice she will draw from whatever is most beneficial for you personally.
Whatever the chosen modality, the key to success is consistent action and taking an active role in your own health.
Personalized Coaching
Many programs lack the support to succeed with the treatment plan. Sometimes knowing what to do is not enough – follow through can be a challenge. Personalized coaching is the critical link between moving into a better state of health, or staying with the status quo.
True healing often requires adopting new ways of living. Sometimes very small changes can have big impacts, sometimes larger challenges are necessary. A compassionate and skilled practitioner coach can assist in this journey.
Dr. Jenny Bisset is always fascinated by the overlap between the old and the new. What modern science has now discovered and proven was often already understood intuitively by ancient eastern doctors, who were keen observers of nature. Drawing from both ancient wisdom and modern science gives you the best of both worlds.
The Bisset Method uses all three pillars to help people meet their goals:
Chinese Medicine + Functional Medicine + Coaching.
Chinese and Functional Medicine are similar medicines that focus on the person and the root cause of the illness, while using safe, natural methods. Together they are more powerful than either one alone.
Working Together - What to Expect
First, you will do a free consultation with Dr. Jenny Bisset to see if you and her are a good fit for each other.
She works virtually in California for Functional and Herbal Medicine. If you are local she may be able to treat you for acupuncture. If not she can refer you to a qualified acupuncturist in your area while you work with her virtually for Functional Medicine and coaching.
Dr. Bisset’s programs are unique to each individual. They are paid in full in advance. Dr. Bisset has found that this ensures the best outcome for the patient. The first visit involves an in-depth intake to learn about you, your story and your goals. She will decide which modalities are best for you, and if any which tests are needed.
Once the test results are available, you will meet virtually to do a deep dive analysis on the root imbalances. From this, your custom program will be crafted.
If herbs or supplements are recommended she will supply you with the highest quality, safe, pure, potent and effective products.
Most healing programs take a few months, so you will receive periodic personal coaching from Dr. Bisset during your program.
You will end the program with a final consultation and a solid plan to move forward and stay on track.
You will hopefully be experiencing improvements from month-to-month, however patience and consistency are required for chronic issues that you may have had for years. This is why most plans last several months or longer and why you need a coach.
You have started a new trajectory in your life! Over time you will begin to experience the full and vibrant life you desire, with the energy and health to give your gifts to the world.
You are here to make some important changes for the sake of your health. Let’s get started on this beautiful journey!
