A frequent reason for visits is to seek relief from ongoing allergies. Our method involves identifying the root causes of these allergic reactions, often related to diet, environmental factors, and immune system imbalances. Through tailored dietary plans, treatment strategies, and specific nutritional supplements, our healthcare professionals have helped clients significantly reduce or completely eliminate allergic symptoms.
Central to our Functional Medicine philosophy is the connection between mental and physical health. For individuals dealing with mood swings, anxiety, brain fog, depression, or other mental health challenges, we explore gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and hormonal imbalances. Personalized nutritional plans, integrative medicine approaches, lifestyle adjustments, and stress management techniques have been key in enhancing our client's mental well-being, leading to more stable moods, clearer thinking, and a more positive outlook on life.
Our weight loss strategy extends beyond traditional diet and exercise plans. Recognizing the complexity of weight management, which is influenced by metabolism, hormonal balance, and emotional well-being, we offer customized nutritional advice, address hormonal imbalances, and recommend lifestyle changes. Our clients reached their weight loss goals in a healthy, sustainable way. They also experienced increased energy and a better understanding of their body's needs, leading to lasting health benefits beyond weight reduction alone.
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.
