I practice Functional Medicine to find the nutritional and biochemical imbalances that may be causing you to have symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, IBS, chronic pain, and general inflammation, manifesting as rashes or skin disruptions.
Focusing on the detailed history of your dietary sensitivities or intolerances, previous experience with specialty “diets”, I will format a new protocol based on advanced food sensitivity testing. I believe in working with you to create a nutrient-dense (macro and micronutrients) intuitive eating format only restricting foods that can cause systemic inflammation with resultant causation symptoms (ie. IBS symptoms)
We will focus on exercise or whatever movement works for you. I often see over-exercising as a cause of hormone imbalance, causing weight gain and other symptoms.
Just as 70% of our immune system is stored in our gut, certain neurotransmitters occur there as well. 90% of Serotonin ( the “happy chemical”) is stored in the gut. There is an absolute brain-body connection. If we heal the gut, treat inflammation, we can often change our mood. Meditation and exercise are part of the protocol to treat and often the most underused modalities in medicine.
The Covid 19 pandemic has opened our eyes to another epidemic in healthcare, metabolic syndrome. This syndrome consists of elevated blood sugar, abdominal obesity, fatty liver disease, and high blood pressure. If not treated, this syndrome increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. This starts with dietary modifications and lifestyle changes, all within our control. I will develop your specific protocol to eliminate your risk.
With over twenty-five years of experience in acute care and cardiovascular medicine, my goal is to holistically treat risk factors, therefore, preventing the cascade of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and coronary artery disease.
70% of our immune system is in our gut, so it is no surprise our health starts there. With functional medicine diagnostic testing, we can identify digestive problems. You do not have to exhibit GI symptoms to have nutrient deficiencies, anemias (due to malabsorption) to more problem situations like infections. We test to determine the root cause and have specific protocols to treat.
Fascinating research in terms of identifying and treating hormone imbalances, such as PMDD ( premenstrual dysphoric disorder) Fertility issues, Menopause as well as Thyroid disorders. I test extensively to find the root cause and develop protocols specific for your imbalance, which often can be helped with lifestyle and dietary changes.

Consultation
The initial consult is at least 2 hrs long as I spend considerable time and care with each client getting to the root cause of their health issues. Once you complete your health history forms, this visit begins to address the root causes through lifestyle interventions that are backed by clinical research. Each unique person presents with a different combination of genetics, lifestyles, toxic exposure, diet and upbringing, therefore each person gets their treatment protocols personalized for them.
Follow Up Appointments
I often recommend advanced science-based testing to search for the underlying deficiencies or triggers causing your symptoms. I will adapt the recommendations to your unique needs through lifestyle, optimizing digestion to increase nutrient absorption, sometimes with supplementation, all helping your body get back to your optimal health. This visit will be an hour and scheduled 2-4 weeks after the initial consultation, then every 3 months or as needed. It is important to follow up, to evaluate your symptoms related to your testing and protocol.
Vitamin IV Therapy
We have over 15 protocols to choose from to cover many of your needs. These include hormone balance, athletic performance, immune support, weight loss, and anti-aging. Benefits include improved immune function, gut health, increased energy, clear skin, and more restful sleep.
Vitamin B12 Injection
B-12 is a natural vitamin absorbed by the body through our digestive intake. As we age, our bodies absorb less and less of it, leading to deficiency in an estimated 85% of the population. The B-12 Injections vast health benefits make it an appealing option for those dealing with a myriad of health issues caused by this deficiency, such as anemia, slow metabolism, insomnia, weakened immune system, and those looking to increase their energy levels and stamina. The injectables work best when given at regular intervals four weeks apart.
Vitamin D Injection
Although Vitamin D is referred to as a Vitamin, it acts synergistically in our bodies like a hormone. We need adequate levels to absorb calcium and maintenance balance. It is synthesized by UV light (sunlight) which we all lack. More research shows the vital role Vitamin D is playing in our immune system today. Benefits include cellular health, immune support, nutrient absorption and balance, treatment for autoimmune disease, improved cognitive function, lipid metabolism and helps in depression.
