Questions About Alive and Well?

Explore our Frequently Asked Questions for quick answers to common questions. Feel free to reach out to us directly for any other questions you may have. We’re here to help.

Acupuncture is a type of traditional Chinese medicine that’s been around for about 2,500 years. It’s used to support wellness and improve overall mental and physical well-being. The acupuncturist places needles into specific points on the skin to help activate an energy in the body, called qi. According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi is the lifeforce energy in the body — it helps regulate and move things in the body to keep us well. Stress, environmental factors, lifestyle behaviors, and genetics are some of the things that can block qi in the body. The needles help to unblock or move qi to other areas in the body to help support wellness.

Acupuncture needles are solid, stainless steel needles that are usually not much larger than a strand of hair. Acupuncture needles are placed at a very shallow depth and go between tissues, making them less painful than a typical injection.

You might be more sensitive in certain areas, but acupuncture shouldn’t hurt. If you feel pain, tell your acupuncturist. They’ll adjust the needles or choose other points. Their goal is not to make you feel pain. They do a lot of work to position you properly and make sure you feel comfortable.

Indeed you can do acupuncture or massage while pregnant. It is safe and our practitioners are very well versed in how to treat pregnant women. Please let us know when you book a treatment if you are pregnant and how far along you are.

From spa treatments to functional medicine, Alive and Well offers a holistic health ecosystem at each of our three locations.

Lauren Colletti, FNP

IFM Certified Family Nurse Practitioner

Svetlana Lisovskiy PA-C

Certified Physician Assistant - Pediatrics

Continuing a family tradition of medicine, Svetlana knew she wanted to be a physician at the age of 13. She’s passionate and dedicated to the health and healing of her patients, with her main goal as finding the root-cause. First, she treats the symptoms for her patients to gain relief, then Svetlana works forensically to find the root cause. Her discoveries lead her patients to heal from within and achieve long-lasting results.
 
Svetlana earned her MD degree from the distinguished 2nd Moscow State School of Medicine in 1986. She then practiced as a general pediatrician and later specialized in pediatric hematology. After that, she worked at Moscow Regional Hemophilia Clinic for three years. After an impressive tenure, Svetlana then immigrated from the Soviet Union to California where she earned her Physician Assistant Master’s degree from Samuel Merritt College in 2006. Svetlana then saw patients in an endocrinology/internal medicine practice while also conducting clinical trials as a co-investigator. In 2017, Svetlana discovered functional medicine as an alternative approach to providing comprehensive diagnostic and treatment care to patients. Svetlana has dedicated her time to learning functional medicine ever since. In 2018, she achieved the status of Functional Medicine Provider from the University of Functional Medicine.
 
The functional medicine field showed her how to treat the body as a complex system and tackle the root-cause instead of focusing solely on symptoms. She enjoys diving deep into gut health, genetics, hormones replacement therapy in men and women, thyroid disorders, and autoimmune conditions. Her special interests include Lyme disease and genetics predisposing patients to chronic conditions. She is ILDADS (International Lyme and Associated Disorders Society) trained provider.
The combination of her knowledge of western medicine and functional medicine allows her to better understand the root cause and gain greater healing. In March 2021, she moved to Austin and has enjoyed collaborating with the Functional Medicine team at Alive and Well. Working at this unique practice has brought complete professional satisfaction to Svetlana, and she enjoys collaborative teamwork.

Megan (Meg) McElroy PA-C

Board-Certified Physician Assistant

Megan (Meg) McElroy is a board-certified Physician Assistant with more than a decade of experience in functional and integrative medicine. She began her journey in functional medicine as a patient with chronic health issues. She believes there are 2 general approaches to the practice of functional medicine: lots of testing/treatments all at once (i.e. the most expensive approach), and the more methodical approach (the approach she currently utilizes).  

‘’After over 12 years of experience in Functional Medicine, I have learned that simple steps are often most effective at improving health. We are intended to thrive, but we don’t have to have “perfect,” strict diets and a long list of supplements to do so! There is so much information at our fingertips—I see my role as being able to filter out the “noise” and simplify the overwhelm. It may take time and patience, but I never give up on finding ways to help my patients feel better.”

Clinical expertise: Thyroid health, autoimmune conditions, gastrointestinal health, cardiovascular and metabolic conditions, health optimization and longevity, fertility and hormone optimization

Melanie Shafranek, FNTP

Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner

Melanie Shafranek is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, certified through the Nutritional Therapy Association. After years of struggling with her own autoimmune journey, she found powerful tools to successfully keep her autoimmune in remission and maintain the lifestyle changes that saved her life. She loves sharing and offering guidance with others who are seeking optimized health.
 
She wants people to know that healing is possible and healthy food doesn’t have to be boring! Over the past decade she has healed from mold toxicity, SIBO, Epstein-Barr virus, and symptoms like chronic fatigue, bloating, and consistent pain. Since healing, she’s been able to help clients all over the world put their puzzle pieces together to find freedom from unwanted symptoms without sacrificing what they love about their life. She feels is if her experience with chronic illness has led her down this path to help others and that it is her true calling on this earth.
 
Outside of the world of nutritional healing, Melanie has immense passion and experience as a photographer – she even had the honor of photographing pictures in Michelle Hoover’s AIP Comfort Food Cookbook! She also loves spending time recording her podcast (Sick & The City), making paleo travel guides for her blog, and taking her dog on long walks!

Jenny Cohodes

Health Coach

Jenny Cohodes, resides in Austin, Texas, where she serves as a Certified Health and Nutrition Coach. Her personal experiences with food sensitivities, mold, Lyme, EBV, and more have ignited a passion within her to guide others through similar challenges on their wellness paths. Beyond aiding those dealing with chronic illness, Jenny is also passionate about educating individuals on optimizing their health using the latest holistic methods available.
 
Originally trained as an elementary teacher at the University of Texas at Austin, Jenny’s career path took an unexpected turn when she decided to leave teaching to pursue her newfound passion for nutrition and holistic health. Through countless hours of research, experimentation, and self-education, Jenny honed her culinary skills and developed a keen understanding of the connection between diet and well-being.
 
Driven by her desire to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives, Jenny furthered her education by obtaining certification in health and nutrition coaching from Precision Nutrition and began leading groups of people through health coaching containers to help them eat, move, and live better lives.    Beyond mere dietary guidance, Jenny loves delving into topics such as nervous system regulation, self-care practices, and cultivating a holistic approach to wellness.
 
However, Jenny’s journey took an unexpected turn in 2022 when she discovered her own health challenges. Living in a mold-infested environment, she experienced a myriad of symptoms, including the reactivation of a dormant Lyme disease and EBV.  Undeterred by adversity, Jenny embarked on a journey of healing, immersing herself in research and adopting detoxification practices to support her body’s recovery.
 
Today, Jenny approaches her work with empathy, compassion, and a deep understanding of the profound impact that nutrition and lifestyle choices can have on overall well-being. Outside of her professional sphere, she immerses herself in cooking, developing new recipes, hiking, and exploring new destinations alongside her husband, Dave, and their three children: Madison, Max, and Maverick.
