Natural Functional and Fertility Lab Testing with Interpretation
Functional medicine has been nicknamed "The medicine of why" in the medical profession, and with good reason. It seeks to identify the cause of a health condition instead of simply treating the symptoms. Different bodily substances can be tested to find issues involving hormones, heavy metals, candida, gut health, inflammation, brain health, fertility, food sensitivities and more. Once the right tests are performed, natural supplementation can be fine-tuned to fit an individual's needs for healing.
Acupuncture
Traditional Oriental Medicine, which includes Acupuncture and other modalities has been around for 3,000 yrs. More people have been treated successfully with Chinese Medicine throughout the history of mankind, than with all other types of medicine combined. Acupuncture is based on the energy “Qi”. Qi is your life intelligence, homeostasis, how your body fixes and maintains itself. This energy runs through the body in lines, called meridians, which connect with the internal organs. After diagnosis, the Acupuncturist picks points along the meridians to balance your body. When your body is in balance, it can heal. Treatments usually last around 30 min. The patient lays down and very small needles are inserted in the selected points. The needles are only as big as a human hair and cause very little discomfort, if any. We use high quality, single use, sterile and disposable needles. They are never reused and our clinic is kept to medically clean standards. Although we focus on the worst symptoms, most other symptoms will also be improved or healed in the patients program.
