Our Approach

Experience a holistic path to health and wellness, personalized for you.

A System That Works—Because Success Needs a System

At Vis Clinic, true health isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about transforming your lifestyle and creating lasting wellness.

 

That’s why our Krier Ladder-Step Health Program and Vis Lifestyle Curriculum work together, ensuring both physical healing and sustainable lifestyle change.

 

By combining these structured frameworks, we help you not only reach your health goals but maintain them for life.

As you move through the scientifically designed Krier Ladder-Step Health Program, you’ll also improve the Five Lifestyle Pillars that are essential for long-term well-being.

 

Since up to 95% of chronic illness stems from lifestyle factors, addressing these pillars is key to unlocking true health.

 

By balancing your body’s systems while making sustainable changes in how you eat, move, sleep, and manage stress, you’ll achieve deep, lasting transformation.

Your Personalized Path to Lasting Health

The Krier Ladder-Step System

Our unique approach, “The Krier Ladder-Step System,” guides diagnosis and treatment, and is supported by over 40 years of experience analyzing local health data.

 

Each targeted step is carefully crafted to improve your health. We believe in taking a functional, individualized approach, beginning with thorough assessments and ongoing testing to ensure we’re moving you forward.

 1

Removing GUT Stressors

The foundation of health starts with a healthy gut. Many stressors, whether physical, chemical, or emotional, can damage your gut. In this step, we work to identify gut-related stressors through history and lab testing. We’ll create a personalized plan to eliminate these stressors and improve your gut health, which is key to your overall well-being.

 2

Repairing GUT Damage

Stressors leave a mark on your gut. Once we’ve removed the stressors, we focus on repairing the damage caused. This involves repairing the gut lining, reducing inflammation, and replenishing essential nutrients. Through repeat testing, we’ll track your progress and ensure your gut is healing and functioning optimally.

 3

Removing CELL and CELL MEMBRANE Stressors

Your cells and cell membranes are critical to how your body functions. Stressors such as toxins, poor dietary fats, and emotional strain can compromise these vital structures. We’ll identify the stressors affecting your cells and membranes and remove them using targeted therapies.

 4

Repairing CELL and CELL MEMBRANE Damage

Once stressors are removed, it’s time to repair the damage done to your cells and cell membranes. This step is focused on restoring cellular integrity and function, improving energy, and enhancing overall cell health. Regular testing ensures the repair process is on track and effective.

 5

Balancing the System

Your body’s systems—hormonal, inflammatory, and metabolic—need balance to function at their best. This step focuses on fine-tuning and balancing your system, ensuring that the stress response is managed and your body operates in harmony. By this stage, you should begin feeling a surge in vitality, energy, and overall wellness.
