We Help Your Body Heal Through the Science of Integrative Medicine and Naturopathic Medicine
Gut & Digestive Health
Your Gut is a high-level system and of paramount importance since it processes nutrition for your body to operate and fuel you. Additionally, most of your immune system resides in your gut and can help balance many processes in your body. Integrative medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of digestive issues through a comprehensive approach that includes diet, lifestyle changes, and physician-line supplements as well as other options. It emphasizes the importance of a balanced gut microbiome and may use probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary modifications to restore gut health and alleviate symptoms of conditions like IBS, Crohn’s disease, leaky gut syndrome, weight loss and weight management, ulcerative colitis and others.
Autoimmune Disease
Let’s reduce inflammation and modulate the immune system to lower your autoimmune response and increase its ability to carry out critical processes to protect your health. This is achieved through personalized nutrition plans, stress management techniques, gut health optimization, and the use of natural anti-inflammatory agents. Functional lab testing is often used to identify triggers and tailor treatments to the individual.
Cancer Support
Our Integrative Medicine approach brings together the Metabolic Approach to Cancer Support and Integrative Oncology to offer the best combination for your individual needs. Integrative oncology aims to optimize patients’ quality of life, reduce side effects of treatments, and improve clinical outcomes. Metabolic Cancer Support is particularly effective for chronic conditions, cancer support, and metabolic dysfunction, utilizing evidence-based interventions like nutrition, fasting strategies, lifestyle medicine, targeted supplementation, and lab-driven insights to restore your balance while nurturing the whole ecosystem.
Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Cognitive decline
Integrative approaches to neurodegenerative diseases emphasize prevention and slowing disease progression through lifestyle interventions. This includes optimizing nutrition, regular physical activity, cognitive exercises, stress reduction, and addressing underlying factors like inflammation, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance. Nutritional supplements, such as omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, are also commonly used.
Chronic Fatigue
Do you feel tired no matter how much sleep you get? Chronic fatigue can be caused by hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, chronic infections, and environmental toxins. Treatments often involve a combination of dietary changes, nutritional supplements, stress management techniques, and therapies aimed at improving mitochondrial function and energy production.
Mold, Toxins and Environmental Impacts
Environmental medicine practitioners use an integrative medicine and holistic medicine approach to detoxification, combining dietary strategies, supplements, and lifestyle changes to reduce the body’s burden of environmental toxins, including mold, bacteria and man-made chemicals as well as EMFs. Techniques such as sauna therapy, chelation, and the use of antioxidants and binders help eliminate toxins from the body and reduce their impact on health. Other impacts of the environment can drive genetic responses that may influence gene responses that can create weaknesses or burdens in the body’s ability to thrive.
Thyroid & Adrenal Disorders
Integrative medicine treats thyroid and adrenal disorders by addressing hormonal imbalances and supporting overall endocrine health as well as driving to the root cause. Many disorders can be driven from other root causes. An example is thyroid problems may be driven by autoimmune problems such as Hashimoto’s . Impacts may involve a combination of dietary modifications, stress reduction techniques, and the use of herbal supplements and nutrients that support thyroid and adrenal function. Functional testing helps tailor treatments to the individual’s specific needs and metabolic processes.
Anti-Aging and Longevity
Integrative medicine promotes anti-aging and longevity through a comprehensive approach that includes optimizing diet, physical activity, sleep, and stress management. It also involves the use of supplements and therapies aimed at reducing oxidative stress, enhancing detoxification, and supporting cellular health. Hormone optimization and personalized health plans are often employed to promote healthy aging.
Hormone Imbalance
Integrative medicine addresses hormone imbalances by identifying and treating the root causes that create imbalance in the body, the approach may include stress, poor diet, damage and environmental toxins. Treatments often involve lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and the use of bioidentical hormones and natural supplements to restore hormonal balance. Functional lab testing is used to guide and monitor treatment progress. We use hormone therapy to treat a wide range of conditions given their omnipresent status in the body. Hormones can impact many things and vice versa. Balancing the system can contribute to overall health; too much can cause chronic problems.
